OPPO and Architect Kengo Kuma's Collaborative Installation Creates a Sense of Time and Space Uplifted by Innovative Design and Technological Prowess<\/h3>\r\n

T<\/span>he world's leading smart device manufacturer and innovator OPPO<\/a> has partnered with Japanese architect Kengo Kuma to create Bamboo (\u7af9) Ring :|| Weaving a Symphony of Lightness and Form. The multi-sensory installation works to the theme \u201cCreative Connections\u201d by fusing Architecture with Music, design innovation, technological prowess, and user experience to create a sense of time and space, and will be on display in Milan\u2019s Cortile dei Bagni courtyard for the duration of Milan Design Week, until 19 September.\"adf-web-magazine-oppo-kengo-kuma-bamboo-ring-1\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

This landmark project is an evolution of Kengo Kuma and OPPO\u2019s Bamboo Ring exhibition which debuted at the 2019 edition<\/a> of the London Design Festival and was curated by Clare Farrow. It explored the harmonious relationship between humans and nature through the envisioning of lightweight yet strong structures made with bamboo and carbon fiber. This year, OPPO\u2019s experiential installation uses pioneering technology to engage all the senses through a series of orchestral scores composed by Japanese violinist Midori Komachi<\/a> with Musicity<\/a>.\"adf-web-magazine-oppo-kengo-kuma-bamboo-ring-8\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The composition is based on the cycle of seasons and moves through the structure, encouraging the public to walk around and be captured by its aural narrative. The changing soundscapes integrate the sound of Midori's violin (built in Milan in 1920 and enhanced with carbon fiber itself) from O Relax, OPPO's digital wellbeing application that offers comforting nature and city sounds to relax your mind taken from locations around the globe including Reykjavik, Beijing, and Tokyo. \"adf-web-magazine-oppo-kengo-kuma-bamboo-ring-14\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

The installation\u2019s woven structure \u2013 crafted from rings of bamboo and carbon fiber \u2013 becomes a musical instrument as music travels through it via structural sound technologies originating from OPPO London Design Centre's research. Innovative technology including new haptic motors, MEMS speaker strips, and exciters work together to produce an immersive base and higher frequencies which reverberate the bamboo with Violin's vibrato and the effect of a percussion instrument.\"adf-web-magazine-oppo-kengo-kuma-bamboo-ring-19\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

After Milan Design Week, OPPO will donate Bamboo Ring to Arte Sella Park in Trentino, Italy, a contemporary art museum with outdoor exhibits made from natural materials and backdropped by the mountainous Sella Valley, where it will find its permanent home.\"adf-web-magazine-oppo-kengo-kuma-bamboo-ring-2\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\r\n

About Kengo Kuma<\/h4>\r\n

Kengo Kuma (b.1954) decided to pursue architecture at a young age, after seeing Kenzo Tange's Yoyogi National Gymnasium for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. He studied Architecture at The University of Tokyo (completing a Masters in 1979) and established Kengo Kuma & Associates<\/a> in 1990. As Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture at The University of Tokyo, he set up the Kuma Lab to research new materials and conduct a course in advanced digital design and fabrication. His award-winning firm aims to design architecture which naturally merges with its surroundings, proposing gentle, human-scaled buildings. The office is constantly in search of new materials to replace concrete and steel, and seeks a new approach in a post-industrial society.<\/p>\r\n
