These books had some incredible images and concepts in them. Perhaps the most relevant to mine was the idea of an inelligent room "Ada". This room tracks is visitors and has interactive floors that light up which can also play games with, and respond completely to, its visitors. Perhaps this could be a potential for my concept? As visitors walk in or through having their trail recorded and displayed both above them on the ceiling and projected onto the floor from beneath. This would provide a level of interactivity within the form and space of the building - a certain resonsiveness. However, I do not feel this is altering the form itself. Rather than projecting or applying 'digital make-up' to provide a false sense of alteration wouldnt it be more impressive, and better related to open source software ideals, if the actual form and shape of the building actually changed with its visitors? Just as open source software has at its heart the shifting of shape from contributors, this space must have its shifting shape contributed to by the public.
