Overview

This design research, conducted by MAS student Elise Migraine, generated an architectural system to sensitively represent a digital archive. It evolved around the design of Roger Tallon: Archives in Motion, a virtual reality experience, which was presented on October 19, 2018, at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (MAD). The database cluster is represented in a way that goes beyond the 2D physical archive structure to allow perception and interactions in a 3D space. In doing so, it paves the way for a dynamic and interactive architecture to enable a sensitive discovery of our digital archives.
