LOTUS DOME is a living dome made out of hundreds of smart flowers which fold open in response to human behavior. Placed in Zedekiah Cave under the walls of the Old City in Jerusalem, where King Solomon kept his quarries, LOTUS DOME creates an interactive play of light and shadow.
Architect Daan Roosegaarde says: "Lotus Dome functions as a mediator, connecting elements of architecture and nature, of the past and the future”.
Materials: Dome of 3 x 3 x 2 meters with smart foils, lamps, electronics, sound and other media.
