Abstract
Mille-Oeille acts as an architectural proposal that offers an alternative to the inherited old-fashioned notion of buildings and recreational parks based on animal captivity for “educational purposes.” At a greater scope, Mille-Oeille is also an invitation to rethink the basic principles of our interaction with both the human and the non-human on a planetary scale. As new forms of thinking and being in the world might require expression by other type of materialities, the Colored Liquid Crystal, a new material provisionally patented, expresses the qualities and potentials of new paradigms through this specific architectural case study. Mille-Oeille is a building that breathes, changes appearance, mutates, and transforms according to its surroundings and the amount of information it is fed with. Mille-Oeille receives images, data, and objects from scientific expeditions around the globe. Mille-Oeille as a living entity responds to the environmental conditions that it is exposed to.
