Current stage and next steps

The project in its current state represents the first phase of a comprehensive study into the agency of architecture within an authoritarian state.

The formal outcome of the initial phase of the project is the formation of project stages, objectives, and methods for achieving results, formalized through the creation of the first machine prototypes.

The second part of the study will be conducted within the context of an authoritarian country. In our case, in Russia, because at the moment, it highlights the circumstances that interest us most. This stage involves the construction of machines to investigate the range of human reactions during interaction with them. The primary goal of this stage is to test the theory of whether this interaction can occur at all and to determine if people experience doubt about the symbolism of the objects.

We do not make any claims about the nature of the reactions we may observe. Our primary objective is to establish the conditions for their occurrence and to collect feedback on the reactions that do occur.

The outcome may be either a success or failure; what is essential is the knowledge we gain to inform the next stages of the study.

The culmination of our project hinges on the outcome of the previous stage. A successful outcome will entail achieving our main objective of stimulating visitors to contemplate the significance of machine symbols. This achievement will validate the viability and value of the project, enabling its development and continuation.

As a result, we plan to share our experience, project design principles, and machine prototypes as examples with other architects who share our interests or are in similar situations. We hope to foster collaboration and innovation by encouraging like-minded individuals to explore the agency of architecture and create their own machines.
