Between Two Worlds
Throughout this project, the theoretical part has formed the body which is expanded into the architectural scale. What if we can feel what is behind the black screens? This question has raised as a reflection of the first phase becoming the driving force for the second phase of this project. Finding the intersection point between this theme and architecture is the answer to this question; making humans become more aware through a unique spatial experiment where architectural spaces incorporate extended reality to enhance the design using part-physical, part-virtual nature (The Digital Awareness Center). This idea has started as an experimental thought which is next aggregated into a building program. This building program shaped the project framework making the first phase land on concrete anchors. Architecture plays the mediating role between the two worlds creating a gate where the hidden secrets of the digital world are reflected into our physical world.
