Pixel Clouds

European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Bonn

Art in architecture competition · 2024

The Pixel Clouds are a meeting place, a landmark and a symbol. From close up they appear as a technical assembly of stainless-steel cubes; from a distance they dissolve into soft, organic cloud forms. Reflective surfaces and dichroic glass respond to light, weather and viewing angle, so their colour and appearance keep changing.
