Our installation invites people into the night-time world of the Aufbau Haus, while the building is asleep, and even dreaming. Using light projections on textile surfaces, choreographed with projected sounds, an inner landscape for the building is created as an immersive and lively environment for the visitors.

 

 

The Aufbau Haus is a multifunctional space, hosting various cultural institutes and companies related to design and publishing. The courtyard represents the confluence of all the creative industries housed within, and is treated in the installation as the brain of the building.

 

 

In this “brain” space there will be a continuous interplay between light, textile sculptures and sound, creating a materialization of what could be the building’s thoughts. Each component is set up with a rhythm and structure, and the interaction between the three is what produces the “dream” of the building. Light and sound are treated as waves carrying information; the building and textile surfaces render them perceptible.

 

 

The textiles are cut in rhythm reminiscent of musical notation, and suspended in the courtyard to become three-dimensional shapes. They engage the space at al levels, reconfiguring the spaces under the bridges. The light and sound are composed in overlapping sequences that vary in intensity, speed, colour and density. The animation of light generates shadows on the ground and reflections in the curtain wall that transfigures the perception of the strictly defined architecture. The building becomes dematerialized, and more part of the night-time world, as the glass, concrete, and metal surfaces become projection surfaces for light and shadows.

 

 

The sound sequences use the form of a canon to accentuate the length of the space, the immateriality, and the passing of time. The inner core of the building is suddenly perceived as an attractive inner street for the public. The atrium is reanimated at night through sound and light, which will also be very visible to the passing crowd on the street.
