Intersection of the time: THE GATE by Melike Altinisik Architects - Parametric Architecture

Turkish signifier Melike Altınısık Architects – MAA took portion with “THE GATE” interactive installation astatine Tersane Istanbul (Golden Horn Port) astatine the 21st Brand Conference.

“Where, how, and what bash we live? What benignant of beingness bash we crook into to live?”

Melike Altınısık Architects created “THE GATE” with these unanswered questions that are inactive searching for answers. MAA’s installation, “THE GATE,” creates an interactive spatial interface betwixt the “present” and “future.” At the aforesaid time, MAA seeks to supply a caller position that is sustainable consciousness to heal the wounds we person near to quality and humanity for aboriginal generations.

“THE GATE,” similar the Tersane, appeared astatine the intersection of 550 years of mossy and stratified past and existed astatine the intersection of quality and humanity. “THE GATE” exists successful a hazy “moment” and “space” that encompasses movement, societal interaction, and perceptual beingness with the observer. People are perpetually questioned passim their lives.

“Present and Future” is simply a wide look successful quality and the beingness that expresses the duality and complementarity principle. All spatial and functional transformations successful Tersane’s humanities process bespeak a duality of continuity and discontinuity successful its earthy environment.

People brushwood thresholds and are unaware of them earlier entering this frame. When radical spot the sea, they imagination of the land, the entity erstwhile they interaction the earth, the time erstwhile they cognize the night, and the “future” erstwhile they unrecorded successful the “present.”

“THE GATE” refers to the humanities process surrounding it successful the carnal layer, which takes the pb successful its location. “THE GATE” maintains a caller framework with a corten gross to the metropolis that contains contradictions, dualities, and the explanation of limitlessness. At the aforesaid time, the perforated reflective aboveground successful its halfway blurs each dualities. People look the metropolis successful this unsocial determination wherever onshore and oversea meet. While experiencing “THE GATE,” humans tin observe themselves and what they permission behind.

“THE GATE,” tells the contiguous and aboriginal communicative done a integer furniture that interacts with a reflective perforated metallic aboveground astatine the intersection. The integer furniture of AR (Augmented Reality Technology) successful “THE GATE” confronts the perceiver with the worlds of “Present” and “Future” astatine the intersection of the time. The “Present” interface creates scenarios successful the AR satellite to rise consciousness of the clime problems that are shaking our satellite and lives each day.

“THE GATE” allows the assemblage to witnesser today’s demolition of quality successful an ever-changing satellite and the surreal demolition of the municipality landscape. People statesman to recognize the instrumentality of chaotic quality (re-wilding nature) successful the “future” interface arsenic technological tectonics alteration and develop. Wild quality volition beryllium resurrected successful the “future,” and humans, nature, and exertion volition coexist harmoniously. Nature resurrected volition archer the communicative of a conflict to woody with today’s clime crisis.

“THE GATE” builds a semipermanent span betwixt the contiguous and the aboriginal and expresses itself done the AR Interface. Apart from their morphology, it confronts them with assorted scenarios. “THE GATE” is simply a metamorphosis, not a transformation. This journey, which “THE GATE” has established implicit time, is 1 of self-questioning successful nature.

“THE GATE” is the acquisition of balancing humans, nature, and technology.
