In between the worlds of fiction and reality. The Skolkovo dome shall actually be a buffer between inside and outside, explains architect Kazuyo Sejima on stage at the DLD Moscow “Spacial Insipration” panel. The result is perfect “in-dome” weather.

“We intend to change the perception of the climate,” says Katia Gaika, Deputy Director for Education and Research IT Cluster, Skolkovo Foundation. Behind her sits climate engineer Matthias Schuler who explains how the dome project is about to become a structural and technical reality (see video below). Artificial clouds, vegetation and even a rainbow will be possible.
