{According to Peter Zumthor, architecture can be seen as the art of creating inner worlds, of giving shape to the air that surrounds us.}

Wind Veil, By Ned Kahn, 2000

The way this project makes air visible has intrigued me. Something we do not pay often toattention is now put in the center affecting the experience from the inside as well in a captivating way.

Teshima museum, Japan
By Ruye Nishizawa, 2011

The blurring of the boundary in this project allows the visitors to take a moment to contemplate and be fully aware of their surroundings. This museum slows you down and lets nature enter and influence the space.

This pavilion allows you to experience air in the form of sound. The form of the pavilion and materials used also influences your experience of the pavilion itself and its surroundings.

Arc ZERO: Nimbus, 2017, Japan
By James Tapscott

The mist Arc is placed on the bridge that forms the entrance to the temple. It forms not only the connection between the forest and temple but also influences your experience on the spiritual. The use of mist and light in this project intensifies the experience of the visitor and works well with its surroundings.

AntiRoom II Pavilion, 2015
By Elena Chiavi + Ahmad El Mad + Matteo Goldoni

This installation lets air flow freely, creating a boundary-free space. Accessed only by boat or swimming, it sits in isolation, experimenting with how a pavilion can exist in dialogue with nature.

This immersive experimental pavilion defines the continuous change of boundaries and how it's difficult to define a border. The experience is also defined by the wind and movement of visitors which makes it a space that's always changing depending on it's circumstances.
