Two ducts. One powerful statement.
Designed by Venelin Kokalov, DUCKT explored our reliance on the hidden heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems that shape our built environment.
Working in collaboration with the designer, Creator fabricated two giant mechanical air ducts that stretched from one side of the building to the other. Finished in a seamless, reflective gold, the structures commanded the space while forcing visitors to duck beneath them as they passed through.
One duct was heated and the other cooled, bringing the concept to life through a physical experience. Together, they highlighted the energy demands and environmental impact of the HVAC systems we rely on every day.
