The workshop Images, Objects & Fictions aims to operate in a post-orthographic phygital (physical+digital) space. The workshop will focus on engaging with immediate surroundings / environments and activating them with AR (Augmented Reality). It will examine the influence of ‘Images’ in Architecture and its mediation with ‘Reality’. In the course of the workshop the participants will produce digital objects through 3D scanning / GAN’s and activate them back in real environments.
The workshop will also introduce the participants to various texts from Roland Barthes, Italo Calvino & Georges Perec and to think of AR that can trigger different aspects of Architecture such as memory, desire, poetry & signs.
