SoftSpace - 8 Sep 07, 14.00–18.00
Tate Modern, £18 (£12 concessions)
Architects are disengaging from tectonics as we traditionally understand it and moving into the realms of ‘softspace’, a more fluid, ephemeral form of digitally-enabled design based on personalised experiences and responses. Softspace deploys new spatial systems including wearable computing, wifi, RFID and custom-designed digital software incorporating light, heat, sound and electromagnetic fields. These not only rely on people’s individual ways of interacting with them, but are enriched by narratives people contribute, creating new metaphors of use.
