A project by students Elisavet Konstantinidou, Misbah Shehreen Baig, Roshni Gera and Yunzhu Duan, working in the Spyropoulos Studio in the DRL has been featured on the RIBA website. The project, titled ‘Orb[i]s’, proposes the use of autonomous and intelligent machines that would reshape cultural spaces in real time to enable dynamic and reactive spatial configurations.

‘The idea of what the future of cultural spaces holds coaxes us to move towards systems that would be intelligent and autonomous with the ability to transform, be mobile and reorganise.

We envision the creation of a realm that has its own predispositions and will be choreographed by self-assembling and structuring systems that will curate spaces beyond conventional building typologies.’
