KOGAA事务所致力于研究对使用者、环境和周围社区产生积极影响的项目。这是建筑师的责任，他们需要考虑建成环境的方方面面。通过研究城市气候变化的相关问题，设计团队积极改善公共空间的职能，将其转化为有教育意义的、交互的且有意识的城市催化剂。
At KOGAA we are dedicated to projects with a positive impact on the users, the environment and the surrounding communities. It is our responsibility, as architects, to be considerate of all aspects of the built environment. By researching urban problems related to climate change, we actively challenge the functions of public spaces, transforming them into educational, interactive, and conscious catalysts.

Circo aéreo是一个环形装置，探索空置城市空间的剩余潜力，而这种空间往往被停车场等匮乏的功能所占据。该装置为市民提供了活动舞台和逗留或休息的场所，重新激活了未被充分利用的场地。四米高的充气艇由帆布制成，它可以用于投影并且在夜晚发光，也可以在炎炎夏日用作遮阴设备。
Circo aéreo is an itinerary installation that explores the underused potential of empty urban spaces and their often inadequate and barren substitute functions, such as parking facilities. The object re-actives those underused locations by providing a stage for events, and a place to hang out, or rest. The 4m high inflatable is a canvas for projections and a light source for the evening, and a shading provider for hot days.

设计团队从布尔诺市回收并改进材料，制成了该充气结构。Circo aéreo的下半部分既可以支撑充气艇，又可以在活动时用作圆形剧场的座位。其入口降至1.5米，游客需要俯身进入装置。进入装置后，使用者就可以体验被纯粹且洁白的无限圆环包围的感觉。
The inflatable structure is recycled from a previous use in the city of Brno, and we are glad to be able to reuse the material with an altered and improved function. Circo aéreo’ s lower body works both as a structural holder for the upper inflatable ring, as well as a seating amphitheater for events. By lowering the inflatable entrance height to only 1.5 meters, the visitors need to lean down in order to get inside the installation. In this way, once inside, the user can experience being surrounded by the pure shape and infinity of the white circle.

环形装置以气球的大小代表一吨的二氧化碳含量，警示人们当今城市的二氧化碳产量，从而提高公众的环保意识，让公民有机会反思当下的生活方式。此外，新装置融入场地并使人们关注这个空间，将促进这里的日常清洁和安全性。
The ring-shaped object is also a visual reminder of the issue of CO2 production in our cities, by representing the amount of 1 ton in the size of the air balloon, therefore raising the environmental awareness in the public realm, giving citizens the opportunity to reflect on their current way of living. Additionally, the new intervention generates a sense of care and belonging to the space, hopefully leading to daily cleaning and improved security on the location.
