reflecting the ever-changing nature of its surroundings, the ‘skin’ by lisbon-based studio P-06 atelier in partnership with architect joão luís carrilho da graça was designed for a multipurpose room in the pavilion of knowledge, a science museum in lisbon. flickering light around the foyer, a perforated wall with acoustic properties and LED lighting is embedded into its fabric. the piece is based on the theme ‘ASCII’ (american standard code for information interchange) and is in response to the museum’s intent of sharing information. the textured wall features different densities and sized cut-outs along its façade, with varying sound levels projected through the openings. a white light shines through into the space, with the ‘skin’ balanced by reflected, natural light.
