ENG<\/strong>
ORECULA is an interactive acoustic installation for public space that combines sound perception, inclusive play, and material experimentation. Developed within the YouRban programme, it explores the use of recycled fibre-reinforced polymers (rFRP) in accessible urban sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A parabolic structure reflects and concentrates sound toward a focal point, allowing users\u2014especially children\u2014to experience amplified listening by positioning themselves within it. Initially conceived as a system linking distant urban points through sound, it evolved into a single self-standing installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The structure consists of a 120 cm parabolic reflector on a 180 cm wooden frame, designed for outdoor stability and safety. The acoustic focus is set at 120 cm height to align with children\u2019s interaction. The surface is made using manual layup with resin, gel coat, and recycled\/virgin glass fibres, requiring precise control of curing to achieve a stable concave form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond a playful acoustic object, ORECULA is a proof of concept for recycled composites in complex geometries. It generates transferable knowledge for public art, playground design, and industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, it functions as both object and method\u2014exploring how material innovation, simple geometry, and human interaction can create meaningful urban experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORECULA \u00e9s una instal\u00b7laci\u00f3 ac\u00fastica interactiva per a espais p\u00fablics que combina percepci\u00f3 sonora, joc inclusiu i experimentaci\u00f3 material. Desenvolupada dins del programa YouRban, explora l\u2019\u00fas de pol\u00edmers refor\u00e7ats amb fibra reciclada (rFRP) en escultura urbana accessible.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una estructura parab\u00f2lica reflecteix i concentra el so cap a un punt focal, permetent als usuaris\u2014especialment infants\u2014experimentar una escolta amplificada situant-se dins la instal\u00b7laci\u00f3. Concebuda inicialment com un sistema per connectar punts urbans distants a trav\u00e9s del so, va evolucionar fins a convertir-se en una pe\u00e7a \u00fanica i aut\u00f2noma.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019estructura consta d\u2019un reflector parab\u00f2lic de 120 cm muntat sobre un marc de fusta de 180 cm, dissenyat per garantir estabilitat i seguretat en exterior. El punt ac\u00fastic es situa a 120 cm d\u2019al\u00e7ada per adaptar-se a la interacci\u00f3 infantil. La superf\u00edcie es realitza amb t\u00e8cnica de laminat manual amb resina, gel coat i fibres de vidre reciclades i verges, requerint un control prec\u00eds del curat per obtenir una forma c\u00f2ncava estable.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e9s enll\u00e0 de ser un objecte l\u00fadic, ORECULA \u00e9s una prova de concepte per a compostos reciclats en geometries complexes. Genera coneixement transferible per a art p\u00fablic, disseny de parcs infantils i aplicacions industrials.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En definitiva, funciona tant com a objecte com a m\u00e8tode\u2014explorant com la innovaci\u00f3 material, la geometria simple i la interacci\u00f3 humana poden generar experi\u00e8ncies urbanes significatives.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de su car\u00e1cter l\u00fadico, ORECULA es una prueba de concepto para compuestos reciclados en geometr\u00edas complejas. Genera conocimiento transferible para arte p\u00fablico, dise\u00f1o de parques infantiles y aplicaciones industriales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
