Statue Enclosures
In collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics, we are currently developing an enclosure system for weather protection of outdoor cultural assets. The system utilizes transparent membranes with controlled ventilation to create an optimal interior climate through solar radiation. This effectively protects the cultural assets from organic growth and frost-induced cracking while ensuring their year-round visibility. Our approach focuses on developing a crystalline adaptive system that can adjust to various shapes, sizes, and climatic conditions of monuments. A specially designed construction system and an algorithm for generating digital fabrication files enable a tailored implementation for each cultural asset.
