Abstract
This paper presents a case study of an interactive and collaborative installation realized within a larger exhibition. The work mediates space and vision between human and machine and speculates on the role that spatial computing can play in architecture design. It explores the encoding and decoding of spatial experiences using a physical relief wall as a medium to encode and transfer data. By collaborating with a robot arm through an augmented layer, the users enable a feedback loop between the robotically assembled relief and a corresponding three-dimensional, digital layer.
The research intends to build upon already established relations between human perception and architectural composition and turn them into an operational logic that enables a more immediate experience and understanding of a hybrid space. It is an investigation into how our environments can become embedded with augmented information and how architecture can contribute to our digital future as a “hosting space”.
The authors will discuss ideas and concepts related to theory, design, and technological implementations within the framework of the executed case study.
