BARRICADE

The studio aimed to produce a film that critiques urban format, exploring mediums between realism and fiction while comparing top-down and bottom-up urbanism, emphasizing bottom-up urbanism as a counter reaction to 'urbanism of control'.
This new architecture is generated by contour crafting (khoshnevis) but in a process that allows it to be constantly malleable and receive various inputs that disrupt the predictable programm. The resulting form thus becomes indeterministic, the political antidote to anticipatory modes that make space a system of control.
Barricade is a scenario that speculates on the preliminary conditions that organize 'living together'. The story revolves around a man, who excluded himself from society to discover this biostructure. The sheltering, as an individualistic plato grotto, is produced by his own physiology. Simultaneously a robotic process produces his sorrounding architecture by detecting his own psycho reaction(sweating, heartbeat) and responding by changing shape. A resident of the 'collective', engages with him in a political and ideological discussion on the implications and consequences of his choice.
