Jakob and Macfarlane – Breathing Wall

Jakob and Macfarlane have done an interesting installation at SCI-Arc called the “Breathing Wall.”

As Jakob and Macfarlane describe it – “Conceived as a piece of a much larger architectural environment, the “Breathing Wall” is imagined as a surface which opens and closes, regulating the passage of such necessities as air circulation, view, physical passage, and sunlight between an interior and an exterior environment.

The wall is imagined as an architecture of mediation, a way in which a quality of action/reaction can be manifested in a non static phenomenon, moving and changing according to a set of varying external information parameters.”
