Abstract
Architecture privileges the static and the permanent. In the traditions of architectural representation, space is understood through empty extension. The drawn worlds of plan and section make little room for the temporal and the changing. Instead we conceive the built as unaffected by the events that take place within and without it freezing it within an eternal time. In ‘How would it be to live in a soft space…’ our aim is to query a performative architecture, an architecture held in time through an activation of its materials. Engaging material through computation the works define soft on a series of parallel levels that twine in and amongst each other. Soft is a tectonic inquiry into the adaptable, the crafted and the motile as well as a cultural question into what a home could be.
