Parametric Space / Zaha Hadid Architects, Kollision, CAVI, Wahlberg

Subscriber Access

Zaha Hadid Architects worked together with design offices Kollision, CAVI and Wahlberg to create the interactive installation 'Parametric Space' for the exhibition 'Zaha Hadid - World Architecture', which is on view at the Danish Architecture Centre through September 29, 2013. The installation is a fully parametric space that reacts to the visitors' movements by changing shape and expression. Learn more after the break.

At first glance, ‘Parametric Space’ is a dark rectangular volume – four walls, floor and ceiling. However, in the presence of a visitor, what appears to be a normal flat ceiling reveals itself as a glowing and flexible membrane that physically moves down into a funnel that protrudes out towards the floor. The closer a visitor gets to the funnel, the further it moves down; by stepping back the membrane will retract back into the ceiling.
