Online - Lecture 1: Immersive Architectural Legacies: The Construction of Meaning in Speculative Virtual Realities
18 Feb 9:30 am – 10:30 am Indian Standard Time
Today, new realities can be constructed to enrich the experience and create opportunities in virtual environments. In architecture, the relationship between the tangible and intangible is crucial for values to be understood. Immersive technologies serve as a medium to communicate speculative ideas and engage in discussion, transporting a user to a site inaccessible in reality. Questions about the viability of virtual environments become increasingly important. Our research investigates how novel realities alter the experience of the tangible and intangible in virtual environments. We portray socio-cultural meanings that are interpreted by users according to their own ideology, without influence from other users and speculate on authenticity within the virtual realm.
