About Discussions Projects46 Journals48

Vertical space explores the three-dimensional organization of architecture and design. Rather than treating buildings as flat plans, designers work with volume, stratification, and the relationships between levels to shape how people move through and experience environments.

The community examines projects that leverage vertical organization for functional and experiential purposes, from adaptive reuse of industrial shells to speculative workspaces and performance venues. Work ranges from gaming centers and galleries carved from existing structures to conceptual designs exploring future living and working arrangements.

OUR INFINITE CONSEQUENCE

This project seeks to promote a space for reflection on our scale and our role in the collective space. An experience where visitors see themselves in infinity in order to perceive their place, their actions and therefore their consequences. The space only exists in our presence, that is, it exists only because of our presence.
