Who’s afraid of Red, Green and Blue - Weather Tower
Dexia and LAb[au] are happy to announce : Weather Tower.
For the next two months a new project within the series ‘Who’s Afraid of Red, Green and Blue’, will forecast tomorrow’s weather for Brussels, in collaboration with the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium.
The project displays tomorrow’s temperature, cloudiness, precipitations, and wind, by using colors and geometrical patterns to visualize these data.
|
A color-code corresponds to tomorrow’s temperature compared to the monthly average, linked to a scale of color-temperatures :
- violet (-6° or colder)
- blue (-4°)
- cyan (-2°)
- green (0°)
- yeloow (+2°)
- orange (+4°)
- red (+6° or warmer)
For example: When tomorrow’s temperature is two degrees higher than the monthly average, the tower colors ‘red’. Furthermore, the shade ( dark / light ) of this color corresponds to the light-condition of the sky of the upcoming day.
|
Geometrical patterns are created with a vector-field, constituted of small lines which constantly re-orient, causing patterns, letters and numbers to appear.
These patterns are visualizing tomorrow’s cloudiness, showers (rain, snow, ice, …) and wind.
