“I think a proper conclusion to this post is a building that takes all of the representational devices of the previous five projects and takes it one step further by creating a building that actually is a cloud” - Jeff Kaplon (via Atmospheric Architecture | Quench Pad)

simko: Cardboard Cloud installation by Fantastic Norway Architects… Fantastic Norway Architects created the Cardboard Cloud installation for an exhibition at the Centre for Design and Architecture in Oslo, Norway. The show will feature work by Norwegian students. Being that the exhibition is set to present brand new design objects, they decided to base the architectural concept on the thrill of unpacking. The installation consists of over 3000 hanging cardboard boxes resembling a large pixilated cloud, hovering over the various objects. The construction creates a large variety of spaces, from cave like to lifted and open areas, inside the 350m2 exhibition hall. The objects and design concepts are displayed both inside and outside the boxes. (via) Very cool exhibit - My friend wrote a great article on other ‘atmospheric architecture’ here.

wintercheck: evrt: Big Ass Fans Do I need to say more? These things are awesome! I want a big open studio space someday, with one of these flying overhead. I’ve seen one first hand (in the old TWA hanger at the downtown airport) and they are really amazing. Plus efficient. Click for more information. cool (literally)

Big Ass Fans

Do I need to say more? These things are awesome! I want a big open studio space someday, with one of these flying overhead. I’ve seen one first hand (in the old TWA hanger at the downtown airport) and they are really amazing. Plus efficient. Click for more information.
