Olympic Opening Ceremony — Kinetic Landscape

"Fabric in motion — 40,000 square feet of silk breathing with the ceremony."

Kinetic soft architecture for the Olympic opening ceremony. A programmable silk landscape spanning the stadium floor, synchronized to performance choreography via concealed motion-control infrastructure. Translucent textiles integrated with projection and volumetric lighting — fabric as both screen and sculpture at monumental scale.
