Academia Somaesthetica envisions a new perception of interior and exterior through the human body.

The stage for this experience is an urban outdoor fitness club at the splendid open activity space of the Copacabana beach promenade, which is known as the largest and busiest outdoor sports field in the world, situated right in the heart of Rio de Janeiro.

Academia Somaesthetica elevates outdoor fitness to a new, urban dimension.

SpiKloud captivates with undulating surfaces and atmospheric depths, with a smooth silhouette yet a spiky texture.
The installation is white - but in the deep cells the sensuous figure reveals gradients of diffuse light and shimmering color. Like a viscous mass or an ephemeral cloud, the elastic structure adapts to its environment.

SpiKloud, shown at Viennafair 2010 (6.5.-9.5.), can be folded flat and rolled up for easy transportation. It is made from an array of laser cut foils of Tyvek. These layers get glued together while simply mounted on a vertical, flat surface.

Once expanded, each cell deforms into a unique diamond like shape depending on its position within the intricate structure and contributes to an ideal distribution of forces. Density and rhythm of the pattern define structural capacity or flexibility of the lightweight fabric.

Challenging the relation of landscape to building, this campus offers undulating exteriors inside a monolithic block. The surrounding nature is straightened.
Plain, cubic interiors serve focused activity while the continuous sequence of courtyards and transition spaces offers a variety of places to stay, gather or escape.
As interiors get excavated and deformed, the landscape breaks through the mass and creates apertures through which it penetrates and reorganizes the interior.

Underground outdoor venue and concert hall, Vienna

A wavy landscape leads to the entrance. The cantilevering platform teases to descend into the awesome hole. Between the hole and the concert hall hanging in it, light wells get channeled into the darkness, but reflective surfaces obscure the extents of the vast space. From this underground outdoor venue, one goes upstairs into the concert hall and the intermission space which offers views through the floor.
