Abstract [en]

Despite what some might tell you, the 21st century is an age filled with magic and wonder. In this time of multiplicity and nuance, there is an ecstasy in tackling our paradoxical existence headfirst with no qualms of being right or wrong. We can laugh at the absurdity of the machine while it engulfs us, while simultaneously trying to dismantle it from the inside out. Here there is room for both sarcasm and sincerity, the empirical and aphorical and the rational and emotional; all coexisting in precarious waves and ripples. This project deals with ritual and memory through exploration of the natural, the spiritual and the digital along with related urgencies. The project has examined the potential for intersecting these aspects mainly within an urban context. Working with a selection of archetypes eventually led to the discovery of a holistic, encompassing one befitting the project: the ancient roman baths. The Roman baths not only served the utilitarian functions of hygiene but also played a central role in the political and social discourse at the time. These structures could include theaters, gardens, temples and even factories. With the natural and spiritual aspects being strongly present in this archetype already, work was put into finding a way to intersect the digital as well. A rough concept for using data servers to heat water was extracted from a previous exploration, and the final process of iteration began to take shape.
