In 2011, Rainer Prohaska was invited by Patrick Schumacher’s Instutite for experimental architecture to lecture at the University of Innsbruck. In cooperation with students, the installation Un Vol De was created using TOY KIT ARCHITECTURE. The design task mandated reduction to a few recurring building materials.

The work title translates to A Swarm Of and mirrors the construction process as well as the formal aspect of the piece. Consisting of a multitude of H girders fixed with tensioners, the construction forms a spiral structure that curled over various buildings and planes. The piece was developed by swarm within the framework of a collective planning and building process with all its social structures.
