Bl()op architecture



This is our goal. In a nut shell, the core ideas in the project is that of the effects of aggregating in regard to rising and falling. That is, how balloons aggregate upwards, and feathers inside the balloons aggregate downwards. Basically, we intend to have up to 500 helium balloons create tension in its membrane, the balloons will have feathers inside of them and what happens is we have air pressured rockets that shoot at and peirce the balloons, triggering the downwards aggregation of the feathers. We hope to acheive an atmosphere that captures the feelings of lightness; that lightness being acheived in aesthetic,  materialty, and design of the user experience.
