Documented artwork / generative audiovisual artwork and architectural projection

Living Architecture: Casa Batlló

Anadol reinterprets Gaudí’s Casa Batlló through generative audiovisual imagery. The project includes façade mapping and a dynamic digital work driven by environmental data, so its physical presentations and digital asset must be distinguished.

Studio documentation of the 2022 project manifestations

One project can have several presentation forms

Refik Anadol Studio documents Living Architecture: Casa Batlló through both a projection on the Barcelona building and a separate digital presentation in New York. The account describes environmental data driving the dynamic digital artwork, with sound by Kerim Karaoglu. These formats share a project identity but create different relationships between image, architecture and audience. Identify the presentation form before specifying display, data and sound requirements; another version may differ.

Is the proposed experience a façade event or a distinct screen-based presentation?

A repeat event becomes part of a building’s program

Casa Batlló records Living Architecture façade presentations on May 7, 2022 and May 5, 2023. Its account frames the moving imagery as an interpretation of Gaudí's building and describes the public gatherings around those events. This makes the work a useful precedent for a cultural host returning to a digital commission within its architectural program. For another site, the planning discussion could connect repeat presentation, public viewing positions and interpretation of the building, while keeping each event’s timing and audience arrangements explicit.
