The opening for our good friends David and Soo-In Yang -aka The Living – at the Van Alen Institute is tonight. Their project ‘Living City’ will be on display from December 11th to January 18th.
Living City is about the future…when building’s systems react in real-time to dynamic stimuli and the buildings communicate with each other, creating a large network of ‘living’ organisms.
Living City is a full-scale prototype building skin designed to open and close its gills in response to air quality.
SOFTlab collaborated with The Living on the creation of two videos featured in the installation.
More info on the project here and at the Van Alen site here.
We’ll be there at the opening tonight so I’ll post some images later on.
