Description
The Able Skin is a media structure
designed by architect Emilio López-Galiacho
to hide any emblematic building that is not allowed
to have
a natural death, that is kept alive artificially
through restoration, citation and simulation. A virtual
reality installation allows participants to tour
the first Able Skin, which covers Palladio's Villa
Rotonda. The participant’s motion controls
the point of view in the projected environments on
the wall and the floor.
