Constellation - Wuhan
Taking as his starting point an existing river which can be diverted to meet planning needs, Jean-Bernard Métais has devised a walking circuit whose underlying inspiration is the night sky and the Milky Way. The constructions dotting the waterway—they suggest fantastic celestial and aquatic creatures—are activated by water pressure accumulated upstream and released at irregular intervals. This brings the structures to life, generating a playfully poetic tumult in this new, 15-hectare pedestrian park.
