About this Item

Neuware - SPATIAL FABULATIONSAND OTHER TALES OF REPRESENTATION IN VIRTUAL REALITY Within a relatively short time, Augmented and Virtual Reality have emerged centre stage in architecture and the arts. While promis- ing to upend the way image-based experiences are mediated and consumed, the technological media also teases the disciplines with novel creative opportunities for creating critical and meaningful experiences. Yet, the rise of these media in various industries, the architecture and the arts present a staggering number of acute questions.These questions include those about the nature and ownership of our personal, social, cultural as well as political lives. They must also be understood in relation to the histories of the disciplines and how they may fundamentally challenge established ways of think- ing and making. The nature of creative work must be re-examined, and the idea of reality itself becomes re-shuffled. Corporeal exis- tences are thrown on the scale with virtual ones as the boundaries for how we understand perceptional dynamics are shifting.With Spatial Fabulations and Other Tales of Representation in Virtual Reality, the sixth publications in the series of the Städel- schule Architecture Class, select topics central to Augmented and Virtual Reality in architecture and the arts are addressed.The publication includes texts by, amongst other, Michael Young, Space Popular and Curtis Roth as well as a conversation between Sanford Kwinter and Daniel Birnbaum. A series of visual portfolios presents works in Virtual Reality that expound on the thematic interest of this issue of SAC THEMES.The issue has been edited by Yara Feghali and Johan Bettum and is published in connection with Breaking Glass III - Virtual Space, the last in a series of three annual conferences on architecture, art, and Virtual Reality hosted by the Städelschule Architecture Class. It also features the award winning projects of Städelschule Architecture Class' AIV Master Thesis Prize 2019.SAC THEMES presents practical and theoretical work at the fore- front of contemporary interests in architectural design. The con- tent in each publication is produced by invited contributors and the Städelschule Architecture Class.

About this title

Synopsis

Within a relatively short time, Augmented and Virtual Reality have emerged centre stage in architecture and the arts as novel means for exploring how their creative output is produced, mediated and experienced. Feeding the continuous spectrum between the "fully real" and the "fully virtual," the underlying technology of these media present machine-generated sensorial input where to date the image-based dominate. With these inputs, corporeal existence see "virtual" experiences thrown on the scale with "real" ones as the concepts and models for how we understand perceptional dynamics are shifting.

While teasing the disciplines with creative opportunities, the use of the media presents a staggering number of acute questions, not the least with respect to corporeal experience, the human-machine interface and what constitutes the "real." Augmented and Virtual Reality invite to re-examine established ways of thinking and making within architecture and the arts and open onto an uncharted territory of what comprises architectural and artistic experience.

With Breaking Glass: Spatial Fabulations & Other Tales of Represen- tation in Virtual Reality, select topics central to Augmented and Virtual Reality in architecture and the arts are addressed. It is published in conjunction with the conference Breaking Glass III: Virtual Space, the third and last in a series hosted by the Städelschule.

The publication includes texts by, among others, Martine Beugnet, Michael Young, Curtis Roth and Lara Lesmes and Fredrik Hellberg as well as conversations that Daniel Birnbaum respectively had with Sanford Kwinter and Sven-Olov Wallenstein. In addition, a series of visual portfolios by architects and artists presents works. Finally, the publication features the award winning projects of Städelschule Architecture Class' AIV Master Thesis Prize 2019.

The issue has been edited by Yara Feghali and the editorial team of the Städelschule Architecture Class. It has been made possible with the generous support of the Aventis Foundation and the Dr. Marschner Foundation.
