FAKT’s proposal is an installation that overcomes the object but instead transcends into phenomenon – the cloudscape. It is an attempt to enrich the structural nature of architecture with a strong sense of physical excitement and ever-changing visual properties.
The topics of lightness, weightlessness and soft borders all translate into a floating world.
It is soft, since its shape is only in a temporary balance, the thin aluminium sheets always in a subtle movement, resonating wind and temperature changes.
It is semitransparent, there is no absolute border to its context, no clear inside or outside, above or below – only a constantly redefined visual dialogue between the object and the spectator as well as a constant transformation of the courtyard space through the changing image of shadow and light projected onto the ground and the facades.
