UCLA M.S.AUD – IDEAS Summer Quarter: After Image



After Image: Imagine that a time-traveler stands in your kitchen. They look around and, from the room and objects in it, try to infer what sort of society they have arrived in. This kitchen, like the spaces we live, work, and play in, is a palimpsest; layered with traces of the decisions we’ve made, the relationships we value, and the ideologies we hold. These palimpsests are also marked by the wider world of our time; the tools and technologies available to us, the cultural agendas around us, the fashions and products we subscribe to, the infrastructures we depend upon. As architects, we tend to frame rooms as devices for shaping and guiding human behavior. In contrast, writers, production designers, and art directors tend to think of rooms as places that have been shaped by the long histories of the characters, substances and objects that have passed through them. Using Unreal Engine 5 and Cinema 4D, the Speculative Worldbuilding Macro Module focused on building rooms as “After Images” of the events that have occurred within and around them.
