Fabrique is designed as a responsive garden folly. In its space, it accommodates visions and ideas emerging from the Renaissance garden tradition, landscape theory, and machine structures. In the Renaissance, fabriques (follies) were structures, aimed at staging human interaction in the garden. Narrative was their main means and was born out of classical ideals. It [...]

* interactive installation which tracks motion and/or light shifts and responds to visitors’ behaviour
* develop a generative system of behaviour/ a learning system that evolves over-time
* deal with the possibility of an object losing its boundaries inside space. what is the spatial threshold for objects for becoming space? investigate archisculpture.
