Installation: Living Ceiling



You enter a dark, cavernous space then suddenly the ceiling starts to glow and expand, bearing down like a bizarre otherworldly lifeform come to greet you. Don’t worry, you’re not losing your mind this is a new interactive installation, Parametric Space.

It’s currently on view at the Danish Architecture Centre until September 29th 2013. The piece reacts to visitors’ movements by changing color and shape. As visitors first enter the space the ceiling appears flat, but the appearance soon changes and extends into glowing funnels. As a visitor moves closer the flexible membrane grows bigger while moving away causes it to retract.


   




Zaha Hadid Architects worked together with design office Kollision, CAVI, and Wahlberg to create the interactive installation 'Parametric Space' for the exhibition 'Zaha Hadid - World Architecture' at the Danish Architecture Centre 29 June - 29 September 2013.
