PHILIPPE RAHM - Constructed Atmospheres.

 “Form and function follow climate”

 Serene and mysterious, like the monoliths of 2001: A Space Odyssey, lit by blue neon lights floating roses and white main gallery Gallerie Berlin Arckitekture A0 format a book that collects the work of Philippe Rahm since 2005.

Charts and complex similar to those of a biology book or an instructional appliances that introduce us to the study of a complex practice that emancipated tectonic space was defined by which to work from light, steam and temperature charts that dwell therein.

An example where the white catalog and the four small screens with lectures emphasize the feeling of emptiness that creates the room and carry the viewer through a spectrum of feelings, doubts and existential dilemmas through its pages and discover a combination of mutable substances against the possible new weather realities would emerge.

Thus, the ocean air Fraticelli discovered 400 years becomes the raw material of the French study and man than anything he's shown as a reagent in the environment. Being and space merge into a single element; The complexity increases as in the qualities and qualities of the surrounding atmosphere and determine zoning building architectural elements. The rules of the game change and the invisible to the visible gains ground, concepts disintegrate into particles and reincarnate into new roles. The scale is diluted and a room or focus lock ignorable manage complexities for the view to which the body reacts and work should do it too.

It is then that, perverting the art incandescent fluorescent nights trasvisten days that simulate flows in shape, habitat moisture, light bulbs and heaters melanin beach as resulting from Baudelaire Phillipe Rahm process in which destroys concepts and symbols to keep them alive in a different body. The material nature of architectural language is set aside and replaced by the construction of the atmosphere through design meteorological processes such as evaporation, digestion, conduction, radiation, convection and detonate pressure and condition their buildings. Projects and facilities with which this office is discovering and plotting new ways in which culture, psychology and the view facing the physiology, physics and perception that dominate our most animal side.

"Constructed Atmospheres" seemed at first glance to those who walk in the cold looking for the small gallery on the ground floor of a huge building in the infinite Karl Marx Allee and wide, but over the pages of the book and get lost among the many spaces each room hides atmosphere that generates the same effect emissary black astronaut Bowman prisms or primates in the film of Kubrick who faced something new seemingly harmless but in my point of view revealing.
