Skyfold is a site specific permanent commission which is part of the transformation of a former prison court yard, carried out by CUBO Arkitekter, in the former state prison Fængslet in Horsens, DK. The commission includes two large free hanging wall objects with acoustic properties, installed opposite the north and south facing facades in the former court yard. Each of the two objects are divided into nine horisontal sections. Together the nine sections form an asymmetric, pleated relief which responds to the incoming diffuse daylight from the window panels in the roof covering of the court yard. During the day the incoming sunlight will create an ever changing play of illuminated surfaces, shadows and color tones.
