In this studio participants will be asked to read a classic dystopic novel (Orwell’s 1984 or Huxley’s Brave New World), make a complete list of all the objects they own, and utilise game environments as a new form of architectural design media.

Specific issues dealt with in the studio are:

• The art of the database.
• The design of spaces that investigate concepts of open and closed
• space, and relating them to contemporary social, political and technological conditions.
• Ideas of threshold and transition between physical and imaginary territories.
• Use of narrative to inform architectural and interior design - the temporal dimension of story and experience.
• Exposure to the issues of game environments as a design media.
