Name of Project: Cyclops
Project Description: The “Cyclops” is a theoretical project that is discussing what could be the relationship between human, architecture, and machine (strong A.I implanted in) in the future. The “site” and building is provided worldwide by the non-profit technology organization- “D.ZZLE.” Moreover, this is the first (probably last) experiment exist. It is challenging the relationship between human vs. Machine both vertically and horizontally by column grid and architectural form. Simultaneously, several different dilemmas were created.
Are we afraid of A.I that we should have a clear separation with that machine or we could partially live with the highly advanced machine as a friend by using the architectural move?
Could machine integrated with building even dispel human’s defense mechanism to the thing we unknown? This is an open ending discussion. However, the predicament appears closer than it looks.
