Take a trip with the TIMEless curatorial team in time through space through this exhibition catalog. Interactive architecture is more than cinema, more than architecture- it is architectural new media. The exhibit features over 100 works from award winning designers, architects, filmmakers, artists and musicians, including ten commissioned interactive installations. Design critic and planner Sam Hall Kaplan adds that at last architecture is shown in a new and exciting perspective, as a place in time: "it is really the way we experience architecture, temporal and temporary." The curators express that " the questions are more important than the answers; we explore immersive environments and connect them to the 20th century lineage of architecture and film. "Participating artist F. Myles Sciotto describes the exhibit as "highlighting projects that blur the threshold of spatial and temporal constructions." Film has influenced architecture since the dawn of the modern era. The creative process for entertainment as well as spaces for life and work share common ground. Perhaps film influences the profession of architecture through its speculative spaces which are removed from the constraints of reality. These instances serve as inspiration in the creation of the architecture of tomorrow.
