The topic
In the last three decades, significant
changes have taken place in the world of design, including the context,
material and technology. The "Past forward" Competition calls for an
introspection of these development theoretically and formally by re-design the
"BLUR BUILDING " by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. We re-define the blur
as the conflict between physical reorganization and digital existence. The
physical disturbance is achieved by refractions while the digital connection is
achieved by Web 2.0 based iphone application.
Theoretically,
It is an initiative to help people nowadays
to identify their physical presents from their digital lives.
It is a device with which people could
discover the occupancy of the cybernetic part in their mind.
It is also an incubator that bring up the
opportunities of encountering.
Formally,
It is a labyrinth built up with hundreds of
the “water stalactites”.
It is a container within which there are
unobvious boundary between illusion and reality.
It is also an experiment field where the
refraction of lights is manipulated following the design of the continuous
transparent surface.
