Nephos



A structure made from one material
A cloud perceived as a dome
A dome perceived as a cloud
A sensorial exploration of space and material
A dome made from many

Nephos is an installation made during the course “08EX12 Spatial Investigations” with the research agenda “Domes E/W”2015-2016 at the School of Architecture of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. It is a collective work of 8 students.
 Nephos consists of seven layers made with tie- wraps. The sheets are designed in such away to form a dome for the“user”. Different packing investigations led to the final definition of tie-wraps connections. Nephos is composed out of 40.000 tie-wraps. 

Nephos was fabricated with the support of Sapiselco, a leading tie wrap manufacturer of Europe.
