What the project record tells us

Open-air pavilion · daylight and color

Fabric Prism: a pavilion shaped by daylight

Fabric Prism is an open-air pavilion in Pneuhaus's exploration of light and vision. Its arch uses panels in three colors; light passing through them produces a changing gradient inside. The studio explains that the interior shifts as the sun moves, making time of day part of the experience. This is a useful reference for discussing a daytime installation whose effect comes from sunlight, textile color and spatial arrangement, rather than assuming an electrically illuminated nighttime presentation.

Immersive inflatable optical installation

Compound Camera: a room made from pinhole cameras

Pneuhaus describes Compound Camera as a dome assembled from 109 inflatable pinhole cameras. Each camera projects a live view of its surroundings, combining into a panoramic interior. Visitors can change focus by touching the textile walls, so the enclosure itself becomes the optical interface. The source describes this specific version; a banner promoting Compound Camera 3 should not be read as evidence that every version has the same camera count or physical configuration.

Immersive light environment · gathering and exploration

Grove: light organized as a shared canopy

Grove uses 23 columns connected into a branching overhead network. Pneuhaus links the arrangement to underground tree-root systems and describes changing color moving through the arches. The space beneath is conceived for gathering, exploration and play, making the relationship between illuminated structure and occupied ground central to the work. The project page supplies an artistic description, but does not provide a dimensioned plan, operating schedule or site-specific installation requirements for a future presentation.
