L’EVOLUZIONE: A dialogue between the new and old human aesthetics | Florence, Italy | Unit 21 | 2023

Florence is the birthplace of Western humanism and the Renaissance allowed people to really start looking at themselves and documenting their beauty, which has filled the city with aesthetic works of art of the human body. Since the invention of the camera, it has been difficult to break through in terms of the efficiency of recording the human aesthetic. Data is a medium for recording the human body from a medical point of view, and I want to use it in architectural design to make human data a new direction for human aesthetics and to make architecture a new medium for human aesthetics. To do this I have created four devices to collect data from designers and to transform this data into 3d models that are aesthetic objects of data through Grasshopper.

The final arrangement of these aesthetic objects from three perspectives – outdoor, indoor, and architectural – has resulted in a museum and research centre for the aesthetics of the human body. The research centre is interconnected with the local Uffizi gallery, which was designed as a new entrance to the Uffizi.
