Cloudscapes on Designboom

"Cloudscapes" by German climate engineering firm Transsolar and Japanese firm Tetsuo Kondo Architects explores the poetic nature of clouds with their installation at the 12th International Architecture Binnale in Venice, Italy this year. By controlling the microclimate of the space in the Arsenale building, a layer of artificial clouds are made to hover above the ground level, remaining in balance above the heads of the viewers.

Indoor Clouds - a new concept in human engineering

Experiencing clouds on a personal level is a rare situation some mountaineers may have had by crossing the cloud layer under certain weather conditions and reaching the space above.
