Polymorphous Spatial Monosodium Glutamate

This project investigates the uncanniness between the reality that we experience on a day-to-day basis, and the unreal encounters within the world of videogames and virtual realities. The resultant architecture is a massive arcade, 'alive' with character, behaviour and reaction.

Located in Crouch End, London, the subterranean arcade complex boosts the flavour of this middle class, pleasantly ordinary residence.

Mood, essence, details and nuance were embedded in particular moments that narrates the life out of these individual pockets of spaces. Each specific arrangement and experience was handcrafted, as well as the hidden stories that drove the forms, ready for viewers to savour.

Instead of showing a surgical dissection, this drawing presents a diorama to suggest how things would look like. It conveys the authenticity and the intensity of the flavours, through a composite of juicy section cuts to reveal the architecture’s bone marrow and living organs.
