Play Things Project

The research project “play-things” takes its namesake from its study subject reviewing the influence of technological environment on architecture and space, part of an ongoing investigation into perception and experience framed by technology. Building is a key artefact of our cultural history, and its image is often borrowed to construct an accessible “past” where common memory and individual experience join. “Play-things” refers to a child’s approach to space in everyday life unhindered by their functional context, economic values, political ideologies, and historical meaning. In trying to transcend the conflict and misunderstanding between general and professional training’s understanding of space, the project attempts to unmask the spirit beneath the ostensibly urbanized China since the beginning of the new century.

How do we mobilise our digital artefacts to effectively represent and present our creative process, our ideas, or our positions? This workshop explores the use of video, 3D and time-based media as a dynamic design tool. Through case studies and tutorials, students will engage with the methodologies and theoretical frameworks of artists and architects to provide them with a new language with which to develop their creative practice.
