Read research and analysis on Fujiko Nakaya's 'CLOUD #07156' Fog Installation in Tadao Ando's Bourse de Commerce Rotunda published by ICANEWS, a global research journal for emerging researchers.

Key Takeaways

  • Fujiko Nakaya's 'CLOUD #07156' is a living fog cloud.
  • The fog cloud continuously changes form within the installation.
  • The installation is located in Tadao Ando's rotunda at the Bourse de Commerce, Paris.
  • The changing forms of the cloud reveal invisible forces influencing architectural experience.

Why This Matters

The installation offers a unique artistic perspective on the interaction between ephemeral natural phenomena and built environments. By making visible otherwise intangible forces, it provides a different lens through which to understand and experience architectural spaces.

Overview

Fujiko Nakaya's installation, titled 'CLOUD #07156,' occupies Tadao Ando's rotunda at the Bourse de Commerce in Paris. The installation consists of a living fog cloud that undergoes continuous changes in form throughout the day. This dynamic interaction between the fog cloud and its environment is presented as a mechanism to reveal 'invisible forces' that influence the experience of architecture.

Approach

The installation employs a 'living fog cloud' as its central element. This cloud, designated 'CLOUD #07156,' is situated within the specific architectural context of Tadao Ando's rotunda at the Bourse de Commerce. The methodology involves the continuous presence and transformation of this fog cloud. The observation of its changing forms is posited as a way to perceive underlying, non-physical elements that contribute to the architectural experience.

Findings

  • The installed 'living fog cloud,' identified as 'CLOUD #07156,' continuously alters its form.
  • The ongoing transformation of the fog cloud is presented as a means to make perceivable the 'invisible forces' that shape the experience within the architectural space.
  • The installation is contained within Tadao Ando's rotunda, located at the Bourse de Commerce in Paris.
