1 RAUMPARKS are climatic devices; they are constructions of various sizes, operating on diverse scales, offering multi-dimensional populated parks, gardens and (*wild’) forests in and above our future cities. 2 ‘As perhaps the most fundamental condition of a possibility for architecture, and thus also its most definitive constraint, the notion of ground cuts across time and space to unite all buildings. Digitally-generated architecture has produced radical advances in virtual representations of space in which any grounding in gravity, materiality and tectonics is malleable (but often experiences difficulty in translating the resultant forms back into the material world). This falsification of reality, in a way the fundamental condition of all systems of representation, is a generative process, and in a sense it is the very structures of falsification that we wish to investigate. Doing so may allow architecture to simultaneously increase both its liberation from reality and its impact on the concrete world.
