Corpora in Si(gh)te

“Corpora in Si(gh)te” is a generative architecture installation based on real-time processing of environmental data.

It is questioning of how architecture can be controlled without the central architects, how architecture can interact with the surrounding environment, how architecture can be redesigned by itself, how we can develop new concepts with a unique notation system.

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, loudness, humidity, wind direction and wind speed. This sensor network can be seen as the nervous system of the virtual structure. The data collected from these sources are processed by a software and translated into autonomous nodes which we call “Super Eyes”. These “Super Eyes” 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 “Super Eye” collects environmental data from the closest sensor and makes local decisions independently of a central architect. The “Super Eyes” inadvertently give rise to an architectural structure, both surrounding the exhibition building and neighborhoods. This "information architecture" of “Super Eyes” has its own spatial perception to make itself transform into various forms by relying on the “Super Eyes” spatial notation concept. The fluid character of this architecture occurs as a living form. Visitors can observe this process by Augmented Reality Technology through cameras located in the target site.
