Reveal The Absence: The Un Built

The proposal to establish a monument echoing the various works of el lissitzky reveals a the notion of space and depth within three-dimensional structures. the system highlights emptiness, depth, projections - disclosing its physical absence. the project consists of a 3D orthogonal grid conforming to the size of wolkenbrugel. by subtracting, in the manner of molding, a reconstruction of the spatial presence manifests as an imaginary structure -which remains invisible but perceptible. from this imprint, the imagination of the visitor completes the virtual projection of the monument. at night, a light network reveals the virtual contours of the form -where bright spots distributed throughout the structure act as dynamic support for interventions of invited artists.

Melting icebergs

According to Archimedes' principle, any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid. For example, an ice cube in a glass of water does not cause the glass to overflow as it melts. But because sea water is warmer and more salty than floating ice, changes in the amount of this ice are having an effect on global sea levels. [Source]

Beautiful Lenticular cloud

Lenticular clouds are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes, normally in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction. Where stable moist air flows over a mountain or a range of mountains, a series of large-scale standing waves may form on the downwind side. If the temperature at the crest of the wave drops to the dew point, moisture in the air may condense to form lenticular clouds. As the moist air moves back down into the trough of the wave, the cloud may evaporate back into vapor. [Wiki]
