How To Gamify Territory And Memory: Architecture As Social Media

We were invited alongside 9 other architecture teams by the MEIAC Museum of Digital Art in Badajoz (Spain) to design folies to activate their domain and invite visitors to engage with their park. I analyzed the Client’s brief and found their need was better served by a mesh of public activated events in multiple areas of the site. Unlike everyone else, I felt the intervention need not be a physical folly, but instead an infrastructure for memory sharing. I proposed a network of audio and video projectors, triggered by movement, and with an interface for anyone to upload or select what is played on the system at a particular time. A city block scale real-life social medium before Facebook was a thing.
