Co-operative 3 invites students to think of architecture in the fourth dimension, with a temporal as well as physical flesh; as something live, dynamic and negotiable. Not as static objects to be fetishised, but as playful and subversive instruments that stimulate new perceptions and understanding of our surroundings.
Through interactive devices we challenged students to design and create pavilions that ‘gain in translation’ and facilitate new spatial relationships and agencies between users and their environment.
The co-operative attempts to foster a ‘maker’ mentality, encouraging an expansion of the designer’s toolkit to areas beyond the traditional discipline, such as electronics, fabrication and performance.
