Connecting Movement
Orrery
2085 Narrative
2085: a lifeless world of immobility, ignorance and transfiction on technology. Humans inability to appreciate their surroundings has left the natural environment to diminish. The Department of Human Remembrance sets out to resist against the reliance on AI, recognising the technological takeover has led to a decline in human movement and disregard for the environment. Within the department, guided by inspiration of the orrery and artificial photosynthesis, a select few individuals set out to connect with their surrounding physical and tactile elements to protect human ingenuity.
Spatial Concept
Inspired by the orrery and the process of artificial photosynthesis, the site offers spaces designed to reconnect individuals with their natural environment. Participants who value the significance of human motion and environmental awareness will engage in the cultivation of vegetation and the generation of energy through artificial photosynthesis, directly supporting the site’s spatial and functional needs. Through these acts: tending to growth, harnessing sunlight, and responding to the rhythms of nature, the project reaffirms the enduring relationship between human capability and the living world, ensuring ingenuity and human connection with the environments remains.
