Architectural possibilities 

Our space is not static or flat it is an interactive, morphing catalyst of co-learning social interaction. The architectural installation moves, morphs and manipulates its environment as the community interacts with it or past it. Rather than flattening when you stop moving the Paddington Central of the sustainable retail future challenges you “to accept that there is more to architecture than space making: that architecture is event-making, it’s always thinking about perception, and space, use, choreography, setting up relations and so forth (Architecture as a Dissident Practice An Interview with Diller Scofidio + Renfro)”.

The spaces within the centre are “experimental, the place itself expendable and changeable. The organisation of space and the objects occupying it …challenge the participants' mental and physical dexterity and, allow for a flow of space and time, in which passive and active pleasure is provoked (Cedric Price, 'A Laboratory ofFun', New Scientist, 14 May 1964)”.  

Just as our hijacking is interactive, facilitates co-learning and fearless exploration so are our panels and presentation. We seek to entrance the senses and challenge preconceived notions.
