KINETIC THREAD COLUMN installation draws from SUDARE SCREENSCreated by Japanese artist, engineer, and researcher Yotaro Sakamoto, Schattenrequisit: Column is a kinetic installation formed from fine threads that explores the relationship between architectural permanence, human presence, and shifting shadow projections. Drawing conceptual inspiration from the light-filtering properties of sudare (traditional Japanese slatted screens), the project treats physical material and immaterial shadows as unified components of a single sculptural composition.all images ©Yotaro SakamotoANIMATING STATIC ARCHITECTURAL FORMS THROUGH HUMAN MOVEMENTThe installation takes the form of an architectural column constructed from closely spaced fine threads. Integrated millimeter-wave sensors detect the proximity of visitors, triggering a stepper motor developed through computational design and physical prototyping. In response to movement within the space, the motor slowly rotates and shifts the thread assembly, altering the overlap of the linear strands and continuously transforming the shadow silhouettes cast across surrounding walls and floors.

at florida southern college, the restored 1950s-era building reopens with its original circular seating and new digital projection system. kat barandy October 23, 2026 5 min prefer designboom on googlea dome full of stars returns to florida southern collegeTwo rings of curved red seating surround a central projector beneath the domed ceiling of Frank Lloyd Wright‘s only built planetarium, which has reopened at Florida Southern College in Lakeland. After more than two decades without regular star shows, the 1950s building has been restored by a team led by Jeff Baker of MCWB Architects. Its original seating has been returned to Wright’s circular arrangement, and a new digital projection system brings the night sky back overhead. The Miller Planetarium welcomed the public again on September 26th, 2026. The planetarium occupies the southern end of the Polk Science Building, part of the college‘s collection of thirteen Wright-designed structures. Built between 1954 and 1958, its pale concrete walls are patterned with geometric textile blocks, while a white dome rises above the surrounding low-slung buildings.

When the Milwaukee Brewers face the Tampa Bay Rays in game one of the 122nd World Series tonight, they will be playing for more than just the right to hoist the sterling silver Commissioner’s Trophy after four wins. A rival museum’s Monet is also on the line. The teams’ local art museums—the Milwaukee Art Museum, four miles east of where the Brewers play at American Family Field, and the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, just over a mile west of the Rays’ Tropicana Field—have entered into a friendly wager, wherein the winning city’s museums earns the right to borrow a Monet painting from the loser’s collection.
