Architecture = Game

Simulating Space

 

Inspired by Tschumi's concept of creating unexpected designs from a game board. This model aims at simulating various spatial combinations found in the city of Paris. It tests the relationship between the observer, the object of observation and the framing moment. How can the perspective be used in order to create a different vision of a certain architectural element.

 

Leading from the model, the theorry of observer has be devised that has greatly influenced the year's project. Treating the individual within the context of a city, where he can be classified either as a distant, passive, active, integrated or secret Observer, depending on the architectural condition surrounding him and his positioning towards the object of observation.
