“I like to always talk about architecture […] you can talk about architecture of music, architecture of spider webs, architecture of a computer system… the role of architecture is not only limited to the science of making buildings…in my case, I love to make a building [that] flies!” —Tomás Saraceno
If you’ve seen some large, floating black structures over the beach at Art Basel Miami Beach this week, that is probably Tomás Saraceno’s project for Audemars Piguet, Albedo. Saraceno is passionate about architecture and the environment – not to mention dreaming about building flying cities. In this video from Vice’s The Creators Project, Saraceno talks about the architecture of flying buildings, spider webs, and solar balloons.
