To ensure aesthetic harmony and visual coherence between the kinetic elements and existing architectural features, several considerations were made:
1. Design Language: The kinetic elements were designed to complement the existing architectural style, materials, and motifs. This involved studying the architectural features and understanding the overall design language of the space. The kinetic elements were then designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing architectural elements without appearing out of place.
2. Scale and Proportion: The size and proportions of the kinetic elements were carefully evaluated to maintain a visual balance with the surrounding architectural features. They were designed to fit appropriately within the available space and not overpower or distract from the existing architectural elements.
3. Material Compatibility: The materials used in the kinetic elements were chosen to either match or harmonize with the materials used in the surrounding architecture. This helps in creating a visual coherence and ensures that the new additions don't stand out in an awkward manner.
4. Color Palette: The color scheme of the kinetic elements was selected to complement or contrast (depending on the desired effect) with the existing architectural color palette. This helps in creating a cohesive visual composition and ensures that the kinetic elements look like an intentional part of the overall design.
5. Visual Flow and Movement: The movement of the kinetic elements was studied in relation to the flow of people within the space. By considering the paths and movement patterns of the viewers, the kinetic elements were strategically placed to enhance the visual experience and create a sense of engagement with the existing architectural features.
6. Lighting and Shadow: The lighting design for the kinetic elements was carefully considered to enhance their visual impact and harmonize with the existing lighting scheme. This includes the direction, intensity, and color of the lighting to create a coherent visual effect. Shadows cast by the kinetic elements were also taken into account to ensure they don't disrupt the existing architectural shadows.
Overall, these considerations were made to ensure that the kinetic elements seamlessly blend into the existing architectural context while enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal and visual coherence.
