Blur Building
Diller+Scofidio, Yverdon-Les-Bains, 2002

Lapsong, Sybarite
The original renderings depicted a misty orb.
Rocket Summer, Marumari
The finished building is dynamic, resembling a ship that has just crashed from outer space, with atmosphere still smoldering upon its hull. The lacey steel structure is usually concealed by the mist, but is sometimes revealed by wind.
Psychoactiv, Changeman
Visitors embark upon a ramp that leads into the Blur. The pathway becomes sheathed by a glass tube. What are the acoustics of this hall?
Miami Nites, Sky Tucker
The building consists of a 60 x 100 x 20 - metre metal
construction that sprays innumerable tiny drops of lake water
from 31,400 jets...The high-pressure spraying is carried out by high-grade
steel jets with tiny apertures only 120 microns in diameter,
through which the water is forced at a pressure of 80 bars
onto fine needlepoints directly above the apertures and
atomised into innumerable tiny droplets 4 to 10 microns
in diameter. The droplets are so small that most of them
remain suspended in the air. If sufficient jets are installed in a
specific volume, they saturate the air with moisture and
create the effect of mist or, in this case, the effect known
as the Blur. [from www.designboom.com]
