We shape our buildings, and afterward our buildings shape us.

ARENA explores the use of existing objects e.g. doors, glass windows, concrete walls and pillars in a physical space to create an aural architecture. These objects will be triggered by using DC motors and solenoids which will be programmed on the computer based on algorithm. Algorithm is a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer. The space will be converted into a ‘concert’ without players.
Arena also explores the ability of human mind in the space. Are we able to imagine in a space that is ‘cold’ and bright? Are we able to enjoy the ‘concert’? The interior of the space will be covered with white carpets. The whole space will lighted with white fluorescent lights.
