The main installation is “Cloud Drawing” by architect Alisa Andrašek in collaboration with Bruno Juričić. Working with Arup and manufacturer Ai-Build, the “mathematized cloud” structure was made from about 661 pounds of 3D-printed biodegradable plastic, and was largely fabricated by robots. The structure “integrates site-specific environmental data into a synthesis of form, figure, posture, tectonics, porosity, and light effect”.</p>
