In this vision, the centre would serve local residents, tourists, climate researchers and a new generation of artists, responding to the context of Florence as a tourist city, while incorporating local history. This centre will provide visitors with a place to experience Florence&#8217;s meteorological history, climate change and a vision of the future, while also providing an exhibition space for data-generated art, land art and other artistic styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project focuses on making the relatively invisible and imperceptible atmosphere visible and tangible. The design concept of the building is influenced by existentialism and the local climate data of Florence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/835807978?autoplay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;autopause=0&amp;background=1&amp;color=ffffff&amp;controls=0&amp;portrait=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
