Metamorphosis - A Passage Through Time
'Metamorphosis - A Passage Through Time' is an interactive architectural response to issues of smartphone addiction, anxiety and depression. This urban intervention aims to actively revitalise existing public space in Chongqing, China. This project finds inspiration in the Chinese cultural ideology of Qi, a fluid life force energy,' and the space's form and function manifests this notion. The space encourages conscious, embodied interaction through responsive digital visualisations that serve as a vehicle for emotional expression. The space aims to connect the internal, intangible mind to the external, physical body and surrounding environment by means of engagement, imagination and interaction.
