Black Swan | Basma Khlaif, Reham Adi, Dareen Alloun.
It is hard-to-predict the rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations. The rise of the Internet, the personal computer and World War as examples of black swan events.
According to the large magnitude and consequence and their dominant role in formulating the users’ identity, our mission is “Identity Reformulation”
IN MYTHOLOGY:
Purgatory (Final purification) An intermediate state after the physical death to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.
Architecture Theory:
Constructivism Vs. Deconstructivism Contradictory condition
APPROACH:
We are going to give you half of the story, find yourself in it, acted and directed by you. Creating a paradox where you visualize the unseen reality, take a trace of your identity, heal yourself and form your identity and eventually enter the CATHARESIS and then start again in the physical world.
“The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.”…… (*this leads to Space violating bodies by Bernard Tschumi)*
SPACE VIOLATING BODIES:
The violence inflicted by narrow corridors on large crowds, the symbolic or physical violence of buildings on users. The place your body inhabits is inscribed in your imagination, your unconscious, as a space of possible bliss.
