Lotus Dome [Objects]

The City of Lille (FR) commissioned the Rotterdam studio of media artist, architect and 2009 Dutch Design Price winner Daan Roosegaarde to build Lotus Dome (2011-2012), an upcoming living aluminum foil structure that 'blooms' in response to touch and warmth. A "futuristic view on the Renaissance", Lotus Dome merges elements of architecture and nature into an interactive experience. Or, as the artist often refers to his work, "techno-poetry" – boom!
