AIRSHIP 01 – a cultural forest

Idea & design by Breathe Earth Collective

Founders of Breathe Earth Collective:

About:
Breathe Earth Collective is a think-and-do-tank aiming to create breathing spaces in cities that are affected by air pollution all over the world. The Airship installation is an open and scale able prototype to link technology with natural environments and create awareness on the importance of clean air and healthy environments. Breathe Airships are hybrid and air cleaning habitats, that interlink technology and nature in order to create space to breathe.

AIRSHIP
Entering the Airship installation, visitors can feel a rich sensual experience with the whole body and can refresh themselves in the middle of a forest glade, open to the sky “ in the center of the city. The blank and shiny surface is aiming to create a maximum contrast within the existing surrounding city.  At night the translucent membrane has a shiny appearance. Trees, shrubs or leaves of the forest inside will become visible on the surface.  During the day the sun is reflected by the metallic membrane and allows to create an active dialogue with the forest patch in the inside “ a cool and fresh atmosphere for he visitors. Selected Austrian forest ecotypes together with fog nozzles create a unique sensual experience within this hybrid of nature and technology. Airship 01 works completely independently and can be reassembled and set up in any other location. The electircity will be provided by a photovoltaic system and water will be refilled daily with fresh drinking water to serve the fog system.

We are happy about finishing the first tour with AIRSHIP 01 through Padua, Milan and Rome June – September 2016.
