Image‑Space is the first in a series of projects that explore the architectural translation from 2D to 3D. The project calls attention to the shift in the architecture’s relationship to images, arguing that the contemporary design practices mainly produce images of architectural spaces rather than the built space itself.

paper-space, 1:1 scale architecture model, is a study of the dichotomies that arise in the process of architectural translation. Its ambition is to unpack the nature of this kind of translation and to reveal its issues by literally translating an architectural drawing set into built space. Through this process of translation, it aims to make apparent the discrepancies that emerge between these two modes of operation.
The installation is a timber structure, marked with dimensions, door numbers, material types, swings, and other annotations. The grid bubbles demarcating the structural axis are converted to a crown of spheres, and all construction notes appear on the cladding.
