Nathalie makes sculptural representations of weather data from storms; Olafur Eliasson makes works that examine the viewer’s connection and experience of various environments and breaks down those experiences and replicates

Massive glass constitutes a wall covering almost half of space, and sunshine penetrates into the gallery. It is pretty windy when I was visiting there, the shadow from clouds rapidly flowing around the ground strongly results in distraction.

For me, Louis Kahn; Peter Zumthor and Olafur Eliasson are three important arhitects and artist that shape who I am as a designer. You say to a brick: 'What do you want, brick?' and brick says to you: 'I like an arch.' I resonate with this quote by Louis Kahn, a famous architect who explored profoundly the complex and exquisite logic of brick structures.
