Title: Sunyata: The Poetics of Emptiness.
Association of Indonesian Architects
Materials: Papers Installation and Augmented Reality
Sunyata or the concept of Emptiness situates dialogue between human and space as the core of architectural manifestation. It is an allegory that puts forward the human as the main protagonist in this conquest over space: as a main spatial agency. By metaphorically recreating space with similar qualities, made entirely of 21 meter by 18 meter paper floats inside the Arsenale and vertically slicing the room into two, the design of Sunyata invites audiences to experience ritualization by initiating a tactile provocation between human’s senses and space. With 9600 hand stitches to build the pavilion, 100 paper buttons to stabilize the entire structure; all made by hand in the period of 10 days, humans are the main protagonists from conception to initiation.
