Lining a staircase that stretches from the coal bunkers in the basement up eight flights, the immersive installation suspends 164,000 meters of\u00a0Kriskadecor\u2019s aluminum chain, positioning the lighter shades on the upper floors and black on the lowest level to emulate the gradient in the Casa Batll\u00f3 courtyard. The billowing drapes reflect light in kaleidoscopic patterns around the museum and stand in contrast to the otherwise colorfully whimsical architecture, which Kuma describes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>We have imagined this space dressed in aluminum link curtains, which with their meticulous materiality catch the light, as if they were fishing nets, and show it to us in all its forms: brightness, silhouettes, shadows\u2026 this way, by omitting the use of any other materials, and erasing the presence of this blind box and its staircase using these chains, we are able to speak of light and light only.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the material, the ceiling of Casa Batll\u00f3 was outfitted with special acoustic panels to muffle any noise produced by the chains clanking together. The photos shown here were taken by\u00a0Jordi Anguera, and you can find more of\u00a0his shots\u00a0and stay up-to-date with\u00a0Kuma\u2019s designs\u00a0on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/answerfaqpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/kuma-1-960x1440-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renowned architect\u00a0Kengo Kuma\u00a0(previously) amplifies the already magical nature of Antoni Gaud\u00ed\u2019s\u00a0Casa Batll\u00f3\u00a0in Barcelona with layers of shimmering curtains.
