The Blur Building, Diller and Scofidio, 2002
A case study which explores multi-sensory architecture is the Blur Building which is pavilion architecture of atmosphere. The form is a fog mass made from natural and man-made forces. Entry to the pavilion begins by walking down a long ramp where visitors arrive on a large open air platform at the center of the fog mass where the only sound to be heard is the white noise of the water nozzles. Visual and acoustical references are erased along the journey toward the fog leaving only an optical white out. Within the pavilion is a glass box surrounded by fog that creates a sense of physical suspension.
