Gravitational Waves Architecture: Architecture as a tool for the transmission of Scientific Knowledge

The installation Gravitational Wave Architecture aims to provide individual experiences in intersubjective and interbody contexts, promoting active learning and discovery based on bodily perception and experience (Hustvedt, 2016). This approach reflects the spirit of modern research facilities, where exploration can benefit from friction and contamination with neglected cultural aspects in order to generate more inclusive and shared research. “Where architectural opportunities proliferate around us, we are offered a seemingly unlimited idea of freedom. The structure around us is fertile and rich with invitations to agility, transformation and discovery, presenting us with a wide-ranging field of action. These possibilities of our surroundings are particularly evident in pristine landscapes and large cities, but they are also revealed in buildings with extraordinarily porous masses and uninterrupted cavities. In these spongy, eventful forms, there is no end to the course of action that individuals can grasp and decide for themselves. These buildings are essentially “open works” and “open forms” because of their spatial continuum and wide range of perspectives, offering infinite “open futures” that one is able to choose and guide” (Plummer, 2016).
