In a tree, the thick and powerful trunk is at the base. As the tree picks up the branches lose weight and section. This is the structure we perceive as natural due to gravity.


When the scheme is inverted and the most solid it seems to float on the most ethereal, such as eroded rocks at its base in Tenerife or the image of a Zeppelin tied to a pole, our perception is surprised.


Here a large prismatic cover of 80x40x3m. levitate on a base of corten steel and is transformed into a great material cloud.


En un árbol, el tronco grueso y potente se encuentra en la base. A medida que el árbol coge altura las ramas van perdiendo sección y peso. Esta es la estructura que percibimos como natural debido a la gravedad.
Cuando se invierte el esquema y lo más sólido parece flotar sobre lo más etéreo, como las rocas erosionadas en su base de Tenerife o la imagen de un Zeppelín atado a un poste, nuestra percepción se ve sorprendida.
Aquí una gran cubierta prismática de 80x40x3m. levita sobre un zócalo de acero cortén y se transforma en una gran nube material.
