History knows many examples when buildings were destroyed immediately after scaffolding and supports were removed from them. However, Rotterdam recently set the record for the shortest home life ever. It was done within Bubble Building installations.
On the site Kulturologiya. Ru, we have already talked about attempts to create houses or even entire cities from bubbles. An example is the Cloud Cities exhibition by artist Tomas Saraceno. An architectural and artistic experiment of a similar form took place recently in the Dutch city of Rotterdam as part of the ZigZagCity festival, where the Bubble Building installation was presented.
The base of the Bubble Building consists of sixteen hexagonal containers filled with soapy water and provided with special frames for creating soap bubbles. Anyone who wants to find himself next to this installation can participate in the creation of his own room, which will last for a matter of seconds. And together, all these bubbles make up a single structure, a single house with an area of 35 square meters.
The essence of this installation from the architectural studio DUS Architect is to focus on how the World Financial Crisis that began in 2008 came about and what it led to. After all, it was with the collapse of the real estate market, which grew like a soap bubble, that the world economy collapsed.
Also, the guys from DUS Architects, using the Bubble Building installation, wanted to visually illustrate the key role of team actions in achieving any goals. After all, something created by one individual is much easier to destroy than the result of the work of many people.
Well, the third message that the creators of Bubble Building put into their work is to raise to the surface the issue of unsatisfactory living conditions in which a huge number of people still live in Europe and around the world.
