W.O.L.K.E.

Conceived for a school atrium, this proposal introduces a cloud into the everyday life of the building. At unexpected moments throughout the day, a cloud slowly forms within the central void of the atrium before gradually dissolving again.

Visible from classrooms, corridors and staircases, the phenomenon appears without announcement, interrupting the familiar rhythms of the school. Generated through the controlled interaction of air, temperature and humidity, the cloud makes visible atmospheric conditions that normally remain imperceptible.

Rather than representing a natural phenomenon, the intervention allows it to unfold within the architecture itself. For a few minutes, the atrium becomes a changing environment where weather is experienced indoors.

As suddenly as it appears, the cloud disappears, leaving the space exactly as it was.
