A research project questioning the types of parameters used in parametric design and diverting these parameters away from the digital back to the physical and emotional body.
Over 50 individuals answered an online questionnaire with the following three questions: What will be your role in the future city? What kind of sensations would you like to feel? And how do you imagine yourself moving about in your future city?
Parameter of Movements
The gathered contributions became the parameters for improvisation-scores for three dancers. A computer program randomly assigned each dancer three parameters covering the three questions. The dancers improvise and interact with their assigned parameters and become agents investigating possible future interaction.
The three bodies were tracked during the improvisation to capture and visualise the intensity of interaction. The improvisations were analysed for their spatial and physical qualities and compared to the initial contributions. Based on this analysis the final booklet suggests a range of spatial qualities (parameters) to consider when designing future spaces.
