The premise of this design proposal is not for a specific singular design, but an adaptable system. The funnel field is able to be uniquely tailored to multiple sites responding to the diverse contextual and functional requirements of each scenario. The premise of the configuration is as an aggregated field. Comprised of an array of funneled steel extrusions, the field is variable in width, breadth and depth. Responding to sun angles, sound, visual and contextual forces, each funnel can be specifically configured to produce a localized effect and collectively the field can assemble to produce a composed effect. Porous but protective in premise, the field allows for the provision of an environmentally protective umbrella while maintaining an open connection to the surroundings. The aggregated system of the sunshade allows for a site responsive variability. The dimensions of the sunshade can respond to the local needs and responsibilities of site and intended events for its use. The flexibility of the funnel field allows for calibration based on the topography, contextual, functional and practical heights and widths. |
