Art cloud

Artcloud is levitating in between buildings like a metal cloud, with confession to its ancestor, SNG bridge-like extention. This house stands with its material in contrast of surrounding historical or postmodern buildings, but its shape respects them and creates a missing blend, as a dancer makes a transition in a dynamic movement.
