The proposal and animation for TBA21 Patagonia is a manifest experiment in the notion of a remote form of architecture. Located at the base of the Andes in Argentina, itself a remote habitat, this permanently occupied proto-museum acts as an augmented aesthetic environment within the otherwise barren landscape of the region. By interjecting a foreign yet sensible intelligence to this habitable node, a new condition is able to arise. Those who engage it find a new and unexpected capacity to access the dynamic and profoundly energetic condition that produces the very environment it lives within. As this mutant form, more organ than creature, transitions from its lightly rooted periphery toward its center, pockets of space emerge, forming the interior of the project. As a result, circulation exists as a permanent state of transition as new interiors constantly reveal themselves adjacent to this exterior trajectory. Spaces form themselves as follies amidst the tangled strands that constitute the structure. Light filters over and through the variable apertures embedded within its skin. Program distributes itself in kind as the spatial affect forms the occupant into a novel symbiosis. Those who dwell and those who visit become new creatures themselves as the museum’s flux perseveres.> >
