AUSSTELLUNG
The Airship.01 reflect on the topic of air quality and oxygen production in an increasingly polluted and in summer over heated urban environment. At the same time, the immersive environment with plant habitats offers a rich sensorial experience and atmosphere to visitors. Only by 'breathing' visitors became active part of the interior climate performance (inhale oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide). In this sense, the Airship with its cooler temperature, intense forest scents and sound, provide an atmospheric environment. Rather than rationally, the visitors experience a natural forest habitat with their own senses and thus reflect complex global issues. In the Airship the synergetic action of nature (several hundred plants) and technology (compact geometry 5 m in height, open to the sky, climate-active membrane, fog nozzles and ventilators) provides an urban oasis in the summerly city that also reduces the temperature around it. The Airship is designed to provide a cooled and cooling shelter in the centre of urban heat islands. Almost like a new urban furniture type the installation invites passengers to sit down, relax and breathe fresh oxygen. *)The project is the kick off event for the upcoming research project “Tröpferlbad 2.0” by Green4Cities and partner institutions in Vienna.
