| summary |
The paper introduces the technical and architectural methods employed in the experi- ments. The project manipulates point clouds using procedural modeling with the Blender geometry node, constructing spaces that can unfold, morph, and interconnect in relation to time or the spectator's location. It further proposes three spatial prototypes - portal, fractal, and tesseract - each exploring a specific topological condition that challenges a fundamental architectural concept: boundary, scale, and directionality. These prototypes serve as the vocabulary for storytelling and space-making in the production of the films. This work serves as an examination of the medium, expanding the capabilities of point cloud, and identifying potential design opportunities in the creation of virtual environ- ments. By outlining a working method for designers, and offering examples of its spatial and aesthetic qualities through film, the project discusses the possibility of designing non-3D space, and imagines a virtual world with a dynamic spatial structure. |
