Cloud Garden
2014
Project Description
The Cloud Garden is a series of big soft clusters that invite visitors to play in, on, and around its voluptuous shapes or simply relax in the company of others. The project was selected by an international competition for installation at the Festival des Architectures Vives (FAV) 2014 in La Grande Motte, France where it received “Mention Spéciale” from the competition jury. Following its debut in France, the Cloud Garden was invited for installation in the courtyard of the Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory (ANCB) for participation in the Water as Ritual symposium.
