Majestic in scope and purpose, it is made up of "250,000 aluminium panels that are sensitive to wind currents," according to Gizmodo. Like a rippling lake, it also reflects its surroundings, which makes for a breathtaking installation. Created by [Urban Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-revivo-1) and artist Ned Kahn, the Kinetic Wall is located at Brisbane Airport. Currently being built next to the new domestic terminal short-term parking building, it is expected to be completed in 2011. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Kinetic Wall Installations:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create large-scale kinetic wall installations that respond to wind currents and reflect the surroundings. - **Urban Art Projects:** Growing demand for urban art projects that enhance public spaces and create visually stunning installations. - **Sustainable Architecture:** Integration of kinetic elements in building design to create visually dynamic structures that respond to natural elements. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art Installations:** Artists and designers can explore opportunities in creating large-scale kinetic wall installations for public and private spaces. - **Architecture and Construction:** Architects and builders can incorporate kinetic and responsive elements in building design to create visually striking and sustainable structures. - **Urban Planning:** Urban planners can consider urban art projects as part of city beautification initiatives to enhance public spaces and improve aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kinetic Waterfront Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterfront-installation.md) - [Kinetic Interaction Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transmutation-observatory.md) - [Water Flow-Inspired Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanhai-arts-center.md) - [Architectural Wall Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanise-wall.md) - [Nature-Inspired Urban Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kriskadecor-1.md) - [Unique Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aurora.md) - [Performance-Driven Public Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-wall.md) - [Monumental Air Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape.md) - [Musical-Themed Kinetic Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daydreamer.md)
