Designer Tetsuo Kondo constructed an experimental architectural piece for Architecture Biennale entitled 'Cloudscapes.' This building is modernly designed but with a new sky-like twist: he associated dense fog 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 Themes
1. Climate-inspired Architecture - Architects and engineers seek to create building designs that take inspiration from natural weather phenomena.
2. 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.
3. 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.
Industry Implications
1. 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.
2. Engineering - Creating climate-inspired designs that effectively integrate the physics and mechanics of atmospheric conditions can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for engineering firms.
3. 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.
