The Para Sciences innovation center functions as a ‘multiplicity’ of activities; of BioGeometry, Of Radiesthesia, of Psychotropics, of Tarrot, Of numerology. These ‘be’ independent modules but will often have varying and transitory overlaps; effecting countless permutation-combinations of global configurations. A fundamental question here is also about what response a ‘fluid’ demands in terms of being the ‘medium’ of a building as against a stationary medium. Structures built in or on water are not ‘incapacitated’ for movement as the ones on ground are. On the other hand, the activities in the brief too demand a ‘phenomenological’ experience of ‘surrealism’, but one that extends as a dialogic of reality. The project thus proposes a locally controlled swarm with its metaphor in Escher’s Metamorphosis. As both a behavioural and structural metaphor, ‘Diatoms’ befit. - Their underwater variety, with silica shells as a structural and ‘spatio-material’ case study for optimal performance. - Their tentacle-as-anchor swarming for global geometries, various configurations, of Interactivity
