REGENBOGEN
BY LEONARD WILKOP, PAUL ERTEL WITH SUPPORT OF ANNIKA FRYE
RAINDROPS PATTER ON THE ROOF OF THE TENT; INSIDE IT IS WARM AND COZY, PROTECTED FROM THE FORCES OF NATURE – OR THE STREAMS OF VISITORS AT THE TRADE FAIR. "REGENBOGEN" TRANSLATES THIS ARCHETYPICAL FEELING OF COMFORT INTO A FUTURISTIC MICRO-ARCHITECTURE. A FUNNEL SPANS INNER WALLS UP TO THE CEILING OF THIS OCTAGONAL ATRIUM AND RAIN FALLS ON TOP OF IT. FOR THE VISITORS SITTING IN COMFORTABLE CHAIRS, THE RAIN AND TRICKLES AS WELL AS THE RUSHING AND DRUMMING BECOME AN ENDLESS FILM WHOSE MONOTONY AND QUIETNESS OPPOSE THE AUDIOVISUAL OVERLOAD OF EVERYDAY LIFE.
