The room is dominated by a central skylight. Side doorways lead to a U-shaped corridor that surrounds the room. PROGRAM: A five-month installation. PROJECT: The room is replicated; the room falls in on itself – the replicated room tilts down from one corner of the original room, the replicated room bulges out of the original room. As you enter, you’re sandwiched between the skylight of the falling room and the skylight of another replicated room, a rising room. When you walk out the side door, and around the U-shaped corridor, you can enter onto the top of the falling room you once were inside of. The slanted floor, on top of the ceiling, is grass; now that the museum has fallen, it’s been turned into landscape. You walk around a replicated wall from the upper story, and up onto the skylight of the falling room. You’re sandwiched now between the replicated skylight and the original skylight. Wedged through the falling skylight is a corner of the rising skylight that you saw, or walked on, when you first entered the central exhibition hall; a tree, growing out of the rising skylight, comes up through the falling skylight – the tips of its branches reach up through removed panes of the original skylight. </p> <p>This project view belongs to <a href="../../project/mak_design_store/index.html">MAK Design Store</a>, and is threadged with:</p> <ul> <li><a href="../../thread/1993/index.html">1993</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Adjustable-Adaptable-Convertible/index.html">Adjustable-Adaptable-Convertible</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Austria/index.html">Austria</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Circle-Spiral/index.html">Circle-Spiral</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Container/index.html">Container</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Display-Exhibition%20Design/index.html">Display-Exhibition Design</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Facade/index.html">Facade</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/In%20Development/index.html">In Development</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Interiors/index.html">Interiors</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Loop/index.html">Loop</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/MAK%20Design%20Store/index.html">MAK Design Store</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Move-Change/index.html">Move-Change</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Rotate-Revolve/index.html">Rotate-Revolve</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Shift-Pivot/index.html">Shift-Pivot</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Stephen%20Roe/index.html">Stephen Roe</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Tube-Tunnel-Funnel/index.html">Tube-Tunnel-Funnel</a></li> <li><a href="../../thread/Wave-Ripple-Flow/index.html">Wave-Ripple-Flow</a></li> </ul> <p>(<a href="../../img/371/Slide Scan_01 11x17.jpg">I</a>, <a href="../../img/371/Slide Scan_01 11x17.jpg.large.jpg">L</a>, <a href="../../img/371/Slide Scan_01 11x17.jpg.thumb.jpg">T</a>, <a href="../../index.html">A</a>)</p>
