doubleNegatives Architecture, shortly dNA, views the processes and devices used to measure space as"architecture". dNA assembling a team for each project and engaging in a unique spectrum of activities including installations, software and architectural design. Spanning both technical and conceptual aspects, dNA has consistently questioned the very concept of "the language of architecture". It commenced thier research on spatial inscriptions using dynamic polar coordinates which they call "Super Eye". Currently dNA is employing a bottom-up-style cell automaton program to study architectural modeling through the automated generation of forms, shows architectural visions on progressive spatial concept and progressive architecture language.
From October 2007 to January 2008, dNA released unique style of architectural exhibition titled “Corpora in Si(gh)te” in Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM), a number of sensors are setup forming a mesh network throughout the target area in order to collect and distribute real-time environmental information such as temperature, brightness, humidity, wind direction and sound. The data collected from these sources are processed by a software and translated into nodes reflecting the sensor network. These nodes are the seeds for the virtual architecture of "Corpora" representing a cellular, distributed network of nodes that are reacting through real-time processing, growing and subsiding like an organism. Each node makes local decisions independently of a central architect. The nodes inadvertently give rise to an architectural structure, both surrounding YCAM building and neighborhoods. This "information architecture" of nodes has its own spatial perception to make itself transform into various forms by relying on the Super Eye concept. The fluid character of this architecture occurs as a living form. Visitors can observe this process by Augmented Reality Technology through the networked cameras located in the target site. This project selected as the Hungarian Pavilion's exhibitor in Venice Biennale 11th international architecture exhibition 2008.
