Cloudscapes by Transsolar and Tetsuo Kondo Architects / Architecture Biennale Venice 2010
September 14, 2010
In one of the largest halls of the Architecture Biennale’s Arsenale exhibition space, Transsolar and Tetsuo Kondo Architects created an artificial 800sqm cloud. A spiraling cantilevered ramp allows the visitors of the installation to experience the ethereal cloudscape from below, within, and above.
The cloud is created through climate engineering. Creating the cloud is based on a stabile temperature and humidity stratification in the space in 3 layers: below the cloud 18 – 24°C, 60% humidity, in the cloud 26 – 32°C at 100% humidity and above the cloud with 32 – 38°C at around 50%.
