Paradise now !

Paradise now! Asi define Philippe Rahm una de sus instalaciones - exhibiciones.

"Architecture today is evolving rapidly toward the invisible. The architectonic form is now less based on space than on climate. Air conditioning, lighting and humidity control are contemporary tools in the definition of architecture, especially in the precise, closed, controlled, environment of the museum. This is a new, sensitive territory for architecture. The visible - surfaces and square meters - superposes on other dimensions: chemical; electromagnetic: air, light, temperature, and humidity. The inhabitant is not a passive but an active agent in the process of immersion: by breathing, through the skin, or in the retina. The perception of architecture is not limited to the senses — we must address other modes of perception of space: by the endocrine system, by ingestion, by inhalation. Scientific research is beginning to probe these elusive, microscopic dimensions of space at the chemical, molecular and genetic levels. And in this exploration of unknown fields of space, science inevitably delivers uncertainty - faiths of new wellbeing but also new fears."
