Innovative Minds 2016: Virtual Epoch Architectural Design Competition
Design Challenge: This design competition is an exploration into the
relationship between a physical architectural design, the virtual world, and a
tangible site. Investigate the influence of the virtual world blending with
physical architecture. A virtual world, built on the framework of the
internet, computers, and mobile technology, exchanges information
globally. This creates new ways of interacting with the built world. As the
virtual and physical worlds become increasingly interconnected, how does
this relationship influence physical architecture and its context?
As the virtual world continues to grow at an exponential rate, are we
entering a virtual epoch? Investigate the phenomenon of a virtual epoch and
its relation to physical architecture. Address issues such as, user interaction,
building function, digital programmatic uses, construction techniques, socio-
economics and environmental conceptualism. With inherent challenges in
every physical site, explore possible solutions created by the virtual link.
