[ Cloud Atlas ]
Year 3
In our exploration of the intangible qualities of air, we focussed on occupying the line between sky and ground and our seeming suspension between these two expanses. We perceived the sky with the same sensibilities that are typically applied to the ground; something that can be observed, sampled and intervened within.
Occupying this line, our project focuses on the idea of flight, proposing a hang gliding school. Designed for the public, the institute allows for up to ten people to come and stay for up to a week as part of an intensive flying course. The institute is designed with the option to expand capacity for events such as inter-club gliding competitions. The act of flight, and the relationship of flux between sky and ground links to our studies with the mediation instrument.
All work on Cloud Atlas was completed with Emma Blundell & Elena Sorokina.
