| The
Sound of Microclimates reveals the sights and sounds of
a series of unusual weather patterns in the Paris of today.
Here, architecture has become interwoven with the natural
processes of the geographical landscape. Set within the
un-noticed moments in time, extreme microclimates are presented
as the future in city accessories, revealing the unseen
urban terrains of tomorrow.
Like the temporary staged events at an World Expo these
weather patterns hi-light public spaces and architecture
within the City or Paris. They exist as a series of weather
observations that animate the evolution of the inanimate
urban condition. Each microclimatic intervention has its
own audible frequencies, where the sound from each environment
animates the movement and reveals each sites unique narrative.
