Parole Composte | Florence, Italy | Unit 21 | 2023
“Parole Composte” is a project that investigates the possibility, as Junya Ishigami stated, of embodying in architecture what was never considered architecture before, which, in my design, is expressed through words. The aim of the project was to explore the potential of designing through conversation, using scripts that translate words into shapes and engaging in dialogue with ChatGPT. My architectural approach seeks to examine how new LLMs (Large Language Models), particularly ChatGPT, can be used to create a spatial design language that is driven by words and conversation. The process I have developed transforms words into forms, considering how architectural form can be influenced by typography. This involves combining generative abstract processes with physical and environmental constraints.
The designed building serves as a contemporary art centre with a focus on hosting digital art exhibitions and workshops centred around the themes of digital literacy, coding, and teaching skills to bridge the digital divide by increasing technology accessibility. In addition to workshops and exhibitions, the building also incorporates a coffee shop that serves as a venue for debates and events related to digital rights, privacy, and internet governance. These activities aim to raise awareness and foster critical thinking about the internet, AI, and their impact on society.
