Interface Architecture

Enabled through the technological advances in the recent decades, the cultural sector is currently experiencing an increasing hybridization of the physical and the digital. Phenomena such as reality art, digital theater, AR applications and cyberspace suggest that there is, apart from the physical space that we inhabit, also a digital one. These digital and physical spaces are often not separated from each other, but rather overlayed to various degrees.The situation of the Covid19-pandemic has amplified this process since it made certain areas within our physical surroundings inaccessible. It is very likely that this hybridization will become the cultural status quo. Therefore, this studio intends to focus on how architects should deal with this tendency. How can architecture provide appropriate spaces for other cultural fields dealing with the physical and the digital? How does the discipline of architecture position itself in this technological shift?

In this studio students will design a cultural space in Innsbruck, used for performative arts, such as digital theater and experimental electronic music. Special emphasis will be put on how the physical and the digital can be hybridized in this architectural proposal. Elements such as media facades, interactive spaces, robotics, projections, and simulations are potential tools to achieve this hybridization and will be investigated and integrated in the design process. Physical models and prototypes will be developed to test and demonstrate conceptual virtual/analog-overlays. These will be supported by drawings, renderings and animations of the proposed building. To learn the required skills, the students will take part in a series of workshops prepared by the instructors. In line with the topic, meetings will take place as hybrids of physical and digital conversations, mostly on Thursdays. Students will work in groups of three.
