{What I Am For} New ideas and discoveries

Architects designing trans-active spaces to be and programmed by a system of affectual parameters. Space is no different from us,there is no beginning and end to anything, the world is continually evolving and so the methodology is not where one thing starts and another starts, but rather hows does it all transition between what is has been, is and will be. This threshold is not a defining moment, but when broken down only consists of a system of tolerances and capacities at which everything exists. This ideology of spacial and temporal threshold needs to be acknowledged and examined.

{What I Am Against} Narrow views and Outlooks

I am theoretically challenging the notion of a “designer” being the only form of deciphering space to be occupied and experienced by others, based with the notion that the “designer” knows little about the idiosyncratic dilemmas, historical events and personal preferences of the users. Thus creating a new paradigm whereas the creation of environment and embodied experience.  I believe this will become more relevant and prevalent as the technological & information revolution continues and ultimately leads to a new understanding of space, environment and realization of  the singularity.

{Why Is It Important} This is the future, our future

As the understanding of spacial and temporal constructs begins to evolve, architects should be the vanguard of conceptualization, theory, and responsibility for venturing into this new realm of translation, manifestation, and generation.  New types of spaces require new tools, technique, and theories.

{What Is The Goal} Discovery and Realization

The goal of this thesis is to design an environment which allows for the experimentation of spacial and temporal harmonic possibilities through the intrinsic amplification of perception and the empirical understanding of projection.

“The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend”. -from “The Doors of Perception”

Tipping point?

Are we approaching a juncture where technology will accelerate exponentially and we’ll merge with machines? We review the radical concept of the singularity.
