"Voussoir Cloud is a site-specific installation by architecture firm iawamotoscott in collaboration with Buro Happold and SCI-ARCH 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... The piece uses old construction techniques combined with modern day materials and digital processes to create the porous structure."
