Hyposurface







HypoSurface is a versatile and hyper-effective display medium that is a pure people-magnet: it draws the eyes because no one has seen anything like it before. It captures the digital ‘mood’ that is in the air, and people are delighted to participate in its intelligent sensuality – they immerse themselves in the wonder of it.

Yet as a digital medium it is able to display any message or logo, all the more effective in their impact because of the surprise of their emergence from the fluid and luminous surface.

Sublime intervention - RIBA Journal


Part fortress, part monastery, David Chipperfield’s serene clean lines marry fine art and an industrial site in Hepworth Wakefield, the town’s powerful cultural citadel

Words Hugh Pearman 

It is set on an industrial island in the River Calder and is even more cut off by a busy trunk road and 1960s bridge slicing past one end of its site. A working boatyard lies opposite, various fine but abandoned mill buildings are its neighbours. The centre of Wakefield is some distance away, and anyway the city loses out to nearby Leeds as the main regional centre. So David Chipperfield’s latest art gallery, the Hepworth Wakefield, has a job to do. This is the most down-at-heel of contexts.
