The Project: - Intent

I am investigating how ideas prominent in Interactive and Responsive Architecture can be applied to a traditional architectural brief, in this case an Idea Store. Through investigating modes of interaction and response in different scales I intend to design a dynamic system capable of increased flexibility, environmental performance and active user participation. The goal of this project is to facilitate human interaction, response and enjoyment through building upon research and applications in media arts and technology focussing upon social practices. The design process will focus upon different modes of interaction and response applied to the Idea Store and will explore possibilities opened up through its site and brief in order to question the static notion of what we expect from our environments.
