- Description
- Leonardo Mosso (1926–2020) was a visionary architect and light artist known for his contributions to “programmed architecture” and his filigree light installations. The light structure »mosstrut zkm« is an example of Mosso's concept of a linear spatial construction with an infinite number of random variations. It shows the possibilities for order and control in a seemingly chaotic situation.
