This building is modernly designed but with a new sky-like twist: he associated [dense fog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cloud-house) with three different pressures of air to condone a cloudy atmosphere. Kondo collaborated with a climate engineering firm called Transsolar to offer 'Cloudscapes' a different experience; passers by are able to touch the clouds, ensuring a memorable event for everyone this year at Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Climate-inspired Architecture:** Architects and engineers seek to create building designs that take inspiration from natural weather phenomena. - **Immersive Building Experiences:** Designers aim to fully engage all the senses and emotions of the building's users in order to create a more unforgettable and impactful experience. - **New Applications of Atmospheric Science:** Collaborations between architects and atmospheric science researchers can lead to a better understanding of effective building design principles and techniques that make use of natural elements and phenomena. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** There is a need for architects to transform their approach to building design by incorporating innovative techniques and materials inspired by nature to create structures that are more sustainable and environmentally responsible. - **Engineering:** Creating climate-inspired designs that effectively integrate the physics and mechanics of atmospheric conditions can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for engineering firms. - **Tourism and Event Planning:** As immersive experiences become increasingly popular with consumers, tourism and event planning companies can benefit from enhancing their offerings with innovative designs that fully immerse visitors in unique and memorable experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pointy Paper Lantern Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-lantern-pavilion.md) - [Living Structure-Based Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-pavilion.md) - [Climate-Sensitive Pavilion Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/querkraft.md) - [Artfully Made Floating Plazas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquapraa.md) - [Reflective Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-caviar.md) - [Floating Cultural Plazas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquapraca.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Cloud-Like French Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mon-nuage.md) - [Hilltop Modern Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cloud-house.md)
