[ISEA2004] Paper: Adam Somlai-Fischer & Peter Hudini — Mediated Spaces: Prototyping Architecture-Engineering Media

Abstract

Mediated Spaces are architecture investigations by aether architecture in various
collaborations. Focusing is on design research relating to spatialities both in actual and virtual environments with a driving force to create a valid architectural response to the rapidly changing social spaces of our society, where information has dramatically altered our perception and understanding of spaces.

Presented here is our major research project, Indukció Ház, an umbrella for a set of
installations, focusing on related issues. Conceptual, structural and software modules are developed an re-configured through different spatial and media setups. For the installation at ISEA we were delighted to have Bengt Sjöjén, independent gaming technology researcher collaborating on the openGL+computer vision interaction.

  • Aether architecture is an adventurous architecture practice and collaborative by
    Adam Somlai-Fischer (HU/SE), Peter Hudini (HU/ES) and Anita Pozna. Focusing is on design research relating to spatialities both in actual and virtual environments with a driving force to create a valid architectural response to the rapidly changing social spaces of our society. Such new architectures are not yet present, so to test the new experiences, our investigations are carried out through the making of architecture prototypes, installations that embed both physical design and engineering as well as computer programming and graphics, etc to various degrees. Media design utilizes low-tech solutions by re-appropriating existing tools and technologies for new functionalities.
