Ralph S. Steenblik is best known as a designer, curator, and thinker. In Convergence: Work For a New Time, Steenblik presents visionary work exploring interactive, parametric, and dynamic architecture. He blurs the line between architecture and user experience (UX). This work contains architectural projects, photos and sketches, as well as brief critical essays on contemporary architecture and society. The projects and articles display a rare passion and creativity, as well as a refreshing genuinity. Steenblik both strengthens his ideas and articulates his process using the cinematic methodology. Many projects are marked by a series of frames, expressing a narrative. This method emphasises the 21st century ambition of spatial choreography, intelligent displacement, and synchronized simultaneity. All in all, Convergence is a refreshing overture on contemporary and progressive architecture.
