This project commenced with explorations of programmatic typological behaviours and procedural processes to transform the ideas of spatial effects, concepts, and experiences into abstract forms. The abstract outcomes are explored through gaming technology (‘Meta Process’) to critique and translate to physical architecture. [Refer to Vol2. Game Engine artefact]
Framework has been set prior to experimentation to critique and explore the procedural outcomes. In order to explore new types of spatial qualities, I researched the idea of ‘event’ spaces that can bring experiences at the forefront of design. Bernard Tschumi believed architecture must originate from ideas and concepts before becoming a form. His buildings respond to and intensify the activities that occur within them. Thus, the concept of event space is explored through investigation on programmatic behaviours of zoos, convention centres and shopping centres. Then, extracting programs allowed to study different types of spatial qualities and their effects.
The procedural (rule-based) process transformed the models into unexpected results. Although set of rules generated certain effects, the raw outcome of the model has only been controlled by the values from a data set. Establishing rules was not a random process but it took several failures to generate them as some rules would not transform the models in particular effects. Hence, it was crucial to set up the framework prior to the experimentation.
As the project was aimed to unlock new types of experiences, procedural processes assisted in forming abstract spatial volumes. The next stage of critiquing the procedural process takes to the ‘Meta Process’ which the outcomes are imported to game engine to study the spatial qualities.
