Airport City/ Cloud-city/ 6 Cloud Modules 60 Solar
2013
A monumental architectural web of interlocking geometric modules, *Airport City/ Cloud-city/ 6 Cloud Modules 60 Solar* suspends beech plywood polyhedra in a sprawling, interconnected network of nylon and polyester rope. Solar panels integrated into the structure blur the boundary between artwork and living system, suggesting a self-sustaining aerial habitat adrift between earth and sky. Saraceno envisions an alternative model of human dwelling — a utopian cloud city freed from terrestrial constraints, inspired equally by spider webs, soap bubbles, and the dream of weightless communal existence.
