tetsu kondo, architect, made clouds at the 2010 Venice architecture biennale.

for me, there is a sense of straight-forward innnocence and simplicity behind the piece. clouds are magical. let's make 'em. to physically manifest this, however, under the restrictions of reality and within a contained space that allows for audience interaction, is not necessarily simple. with the consultation of transsolar, german engineers, they created three different layers of air are created for such phenomena to form: one area of cool dry air at the bottom, hot humid air in the middle to create the clouds, and hot and dry air at the top to contain the clouds. wonderful.


another series of kondo's is "mirror." also, artfully simple. and yet, rather stunning.
