EXPLORING HUMAN AND MORE-THAN-HUMAN IMAGINATION AT THE INTERSECTION OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY
BY MERVE SAHIN
The project explores how architecture can adapt to the digital age by integrating unsurveilled virtual media into a physical theatre typology. The structure, emerging from a decaying bunker, can serve as a visual and political emblem of transformation, symbolizing how architecture and technology can empower people to engage in new public ways.
All Watched Over is a camouflaged interior as an impulsing artifact of data and images cultivated by the political exiles. The interior readapts the theatre and parliament typology to exchange and circulate visual elements, while the exterior envelope employs material strategies to trick the surveillance gaze to grant digital anonymity.
The facade is designed to blur the borders of the building through tectonic fragmentation, continuity, and rotation of elements. The stepped levels of the interior maintain a visual connection to the central void in the form of a theatre, while the extension function as a light-filled translucent 3D field.
Through the stepped chambers for bodies to relax and debate, and theatre chambers to experience and share, the artifact serves for communal gatherings, living together, and cultivating a digital nature. To wander in this cloud is to encounter different narratives continuously as a shared experience. The field keeps unfolding with surprising moments created by layered transparencies, multiplied focuses, and softly expanded visual field.

Merve Sahin is a Turkish architect, artist, and researcher based in Vienna. Her work addresses the ecological, technological, and political challenges of contemporary architecture through speculative storytelling. She is particularly interested in the entanglements between human and non-human landscapes, examining the urban politics of the digital turn. Her practice manifests through immersive media environments and investigative design, focusing on post-digital public spaces through worldbuilding, media ecologies, and material experiments in the form of transmedia installations.
