Research
Reorient Migrating Architecture Exhibition
Venice Biennale of Architecture, 2006, Hungarian Pavilion
"Re:orient - migrating architectures" explores the local aspects of China's global significance and increasing influence. The project seeks to forecast possibilities which are now detectable only in connection with retail, but which will, in all likelihood, determine the built environment, which transforms under the pressure of ever-cheaper products. The project follows up these ideas with the presentation of spaces, architectural devices and materials that create new contents, and indicate ways of turning these constraints of the market to our benefit, show how to infuse the mass products, which are designed to have a short life-span, with lasting cultural values.

Ping Genius Loci
Genius Loci stands for the spirit of the place, a common phrase in architecture for the poetic context, for the cultural reading of a site. Ping, the most basic command in computer networking, is a sort of greeting among computers, if I ping an address, it replies, so we know we can communicate. Ping Genius Loci(PGL) is an architectural installation trying to build a network into the poetics of the place.
PGL is built up from 300 radio networked, solar powered, self sustainable intelligent analogue pixels, that are placed on a 20 by 20 meters grid. These pixels function in the bright sunshine, and are interfacing the people walking in the grid.

i.e. inside/outside/approaching/leaving
Suspense
Wonder - star struck, dumbfounded, awestruck
Shock
Curiosity – intrigue, captivated, hesitant, unsure
Relax – respite
Excitement + Exhilaration
Inspired
Happiness
Nostalgia
Key Notions: Haptic + Alice in Wonderland experience
Design Drivers
Haptic
Visualisation
Green/sustainability (of the temporary)
Smells
Light/Shadow
Touch/feel
Hear/audio/speakers/microphone/amplification – potential for echo and soundscape within our object
Materiality and texture
Pattern/Components/modules
Air Movement
Heating/Cooling
Visibility (scale of the object)
Colour
Transparency/Opacity
Duration time of the visitor’s experience
