'voussoir cloud' by iwamotoscott architects

voussoir cloud
at: SCI-arc gallery, los angeles
from: august 8th - september 14th, 2008
opening reception: august 8th, 2008, 7pm

voussoir cloud is a site-specific installation by architecture firm iawamotoscott in collaboration with
buro happold and SCI-arc students. voussoir refers to wedge-shaped blocks which are generally
used in curved architectural elements such as arches and vaults. in this case, the team constructed
the wedge-like shapes out of featherweight, paper-thin wood laminate to create the vaulted installation.
the lightness of the materials used appears heavier than the actual weight of the structure, creating a
conflict within the confines of the gallery space. the piece uses old construction techniques combined
with modern day materials and digital processes to create the porous structure.
