'skyline bump - baked architecture' by lucas maassen

employing the swell of a giant 30 metre hot air balloon, dutch artist lucas maassen created 'skyline bump - baked architecture' -
a temporary intervention of eindhoven's urban horizon. the installation was part of the 'unexpected interactions'
project during dutch design week 2012 - other participating designers included maarten baas, nacho carbonell,
and la boulleur - where maassen aimed to inject a bold visual feature depicting something between a peeking sun
and a cheerful living dome within the dutch city.
