This project by Mayice makes us reflect on nature and the importance of urban forests in cities.
A healthy natural environment contributes to healthier and more sustainable cities.
The energy of this place and the installation itself, will create a light show in dialogue with nature, involving the least possible materials and energy use. A video-art piece based on animated lights that travel and dress Caixa Forum’s vertical forest, accompanied by forest sounds. An immersive relaxing experience that makes us reflect on nature, its beauty and the need for its protection. Patrick Blanc’s vertical green wall adjacent to the Caixa Forum building, designed by architects Herzog & De Meuron, will be enveloped in a dreamlike atmosphere with lights that move like insects in nature.
The wall’s own multi-species pattern comes alive through an animated photograph taken on a sunny day in December. A tribute to nature and its beauty. Mayice believe architecture does not consist of the walls, roof and floors, yet rather, the air within, the space, the experience... quoting the master Frank Loyd Wright.
Nature needs our care and protection. Its resources are limited and day-to-day energy use is high. That’s why we’re all working together to make this planet more sustainable.
From seven in the afternoon until eleven at night the lights in the street and in Caixa Forum was turned off for the light show on the green wall to begin, achieving a hypnotic effect. For three hours, the square was illuminated by the large projection lamp on the green wall. Visitors are hypnotised, their faces transmited peace.
A tribute to nature and urban forests, a gift for the city.
