"Architectural bodies are the target of technological invasion. They take part in global networks, they are connected. They interact with databases [people, websites, buildings, tables] in realtime and their shape and content changes all the time. Architecture no longer has a static end-configuration. The visible appearance of any building will become as unpredictable as the weather."

"Every design that architects create is a hypothesis, which can only be proven once the building is built. For immediate validation of design hypotheses, instead of constructing representations of to-be reality, we have to create architectural systems through experiential prototyping in physical and virtual space. Such prototypes are fully operational from day-1 of the design process. In this way the distinction between design and inhabitation of architecture blurs. In such process we take advantage of the principles of non-standard architecture and its special case - interactive architecture." - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lFgtQAKb5G9a-IpDLaMgYuaOi3WsSfrJnl4y002ys1U/edit?hl=en_US design studio brief]

"In our own design work – the ‘context’ is a main centre of effort. It is not exactly a question of ‘fitting- in’, but of re-materialising, re-focusing – the words are difficult. The context may demand a totally invisible building or no building, a ‘countergeometry’ or a ‘continuation geometry’. In a way like decorating, re-arranging and ‘preparing’ a room, for a real homemaker, a real restaurateur or inn-keeper it is more than a question of taste: it is an act of both continuity and re-generation."

Mission Statement

The world has become a nomadic network enabling information and knowledge sharing – regardless of place and time. Our site is an example of a hole in the network. It is disconnected from the activities and the actors around it. It does not exist in virtual sense either.

Our intervention facilitates the redistribution of existing physical and virtual networks of different scales and kinds. The intervention intermediates the physical interaction and permits the actors to extend into the virtual social network in real-time and beyond our location.

Analysis

After a physical analysis of the site and its close environment, we interviewed people on the location and surrounding institutes. We identified a network of actors and researched its structure to find the intermediators (the information gatekeepers) and understand the actor relations.

Challenge

Currently the site exists in isolation. It has strict, impermeable borders; of vegetation, busy roads, and buildings. This thick block practically stops movement, the flows of people and information. The challenge is to reconnect the site with the surroundings, to create a central hub for integrating the entities around it.

Concept

Our idea is to facilitate redistribution of existing physical and virtual networks connecting various actors as a more coherent whole in real-time on our site and beyond our location.
