Dream Space
3rd Year - RIBA Part 1
26.09.2011 - 22.05.2012 (in progress)

Brief
From my investigation into the topic of a "Fractured City", I have exposed an issue, accelerated by electronic devices, which divides people and pushes them away from the real world into what is known as virtual space; an induced space located in the mind. This is a global issue and a growing trend.

Concept
My response does not look to provide a solution, but instead is a response to this vulnerability, artificially shaping peoples perception of reality and allowing real and virtual space to reconnect people.

Site
Located in the heart of Lincoln - the center of the highstreet, the scheme sustains a strong impact by feeding from the sites intensity.

Design
Drawing people away from their daily lives into a socially influential sub-space.
This is a journey not only into the ground but also into their minds towards a hybrid real and virtual space; mixed reality.
I'm using generative methods to produce the space and suggestive/perceptual methods of representing it, I'm not only creating physical architecture, I'm creating a new reality.
