An Architectural Experiment Responding to Urban Heat Through Light and Shadow<\/h3>\r\n

A<\/span>t the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025 in Venice, Italy, Deggendorf Institute of Technology presents the architectural installation \"Flight into Shadow.<\/a>\" The project explores how light and shadow influence perception, relief, and comfort within heat-stressed urban environments. Developed as part of \"Keep Cool! \u2013 Workshop for Cool Cities,\" the installation is realized in collaboration with HFT Stuttgart Interior Architecture and the University of Stuttgart (IBK2).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

At the core of the project is a bold architectural gesture: inviting the sun indoors. By creating a controlled solar experience independent of external weather conditions, light becomes both subject and medium. At the center of the space, a powerful artificial sun composed of individually controlled luminaires generates continuously shifting atmospheres. Visitors move between zones of intense brightness and areas of gentle refuge, experiencing light as a dynamic and living presence. Living mycelium structures act as organic filters, forming delicate canopies that soften and scatter light. Shadow emerges not as a by-product but as an active spatial element. Through this interplay, the fragile balance between exposure and protection, sensation and perception becomes perceptible.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t
