Part 1: Catalogue and Lexicon
Based on both desk research and fieldwork surveys, we selected, documented, and classified a set of reference projects. From these specific lenses these case studies aimed to identify general design principles with relevance to power. Exploring the potential types and scopes of associated architectural projects the comprehensive cataloguing of objects and related systems give insight into the metabolism of modern metropolis.
Concrete Object: A specific object that fits in the matrix and in turn helps navigate through the system.
Failure of Systems: A condition that proclaims incompetency of the system.
Idealization of a System: A seemingly perfect condition.
Institutional: A framing or influence on the system through an institutional body.
Public Opinion: A view prevalent in the Public.
