American designer Marc Fornes (Marc Fornes) and his studio THEVERYMANY specialize in large-scale objects that form the urban environment. For the international exhibition world expo 2017 (highlights the achievements of modern science and engineering), held in Kazakhstan at the end of the summer, he created the installation minima | maxima. It is a giant curved aluminum structure. The wave-like construction should embody a movement of thought, when the researcher is able to discover new worlds in a fit of inspiration.

Mark used innovative material - the thinnest aluminum plates. Their thickness is only 6 millimeters thinner than an egg shell, if you increase the egg to the size of this art object. And its height is more than 13 meters. It seems that this organic structure is made of blown glass or microfiber, as if the metal are arbitrarily stretched in any projection. After the end of world expo 2017, the object will take its permanent place on the territory of Technopark Expo in Astana. Mark is convinced that such super-lightweight constructions will one day replace traditional carriers consisting of supports and floors.
