The environment is a complex message system. It imposes on humans certain ways of perception, thinking, feeling and behaving by structuring information to the senses. The idea that the environment or the perception of it can change over time allows speculation of a time-based architecture which can craft tangible and intelligent interactions with its environment and its users.We see our practice as a platform where the multifaceted roles of the environment’s complex message system can be… Show more The environment is a complex message system. It imposes on humans certain ways of perception, thinking, feeling and behaving by structuring information to the senses. The idea that the environment or the perception of it can change over time allows speculation of a time-based architecture which can craft tangible and intelligent interactions with its environment and its users.We see our practice as a platform where the multifaceted roles of the environment’s complex message system can be examined and understood. This is only possible through collaboration and learning from diverse disciplines. We believe in putting our hypothesis forth into reality, practicing through a process of speculation and prototyping before translating a fragment of our imagination into the real world.Our architecture can be manifested across a broad range of scale and not limited. Wherever there is the effect of time, we see the possibility of such architecture. We manipulate media to construct a new environment where intelligent interaction occurs. By offering ourselves as a cross disciplinary platform, we hope to offer our clients diverse expertise and intriguing ways to approach a project. And as architects, we will at the same time bring coherence and increased value in our bespoke proposals for an alternative reality. Show less
