CREDITS
“Common Landscape” is a project-prototype developed in 2021 by formAxioms —
Federico Ruberto, Eva Castro and Jacob Chen.
formAxioms was established in 2018 by Eva Castro and Federico Ruberto as a research
framework, agency and teaching cluster part of SUTD — ASD, Singapore University of
Technology and Design — Architecture and Sustainable Design. formAxioms’s agency is
promoted by a research based on speculative narratives that engages de-sign focusing on
two scales: territorial and architectural assemblages. At both the laboratory research is
computationally driven and it integrates VR/AR in its pipeline: at territorial scales as means
to edit-alter-display structural information and to create participatory practices, at
architectural scales as means to problematize narrative-sequences-experiences by
questioning/hybridizing the space-time of the subject by way of challenging its frame, by
altering the dyad “digital/physical”. The studio’s interest in the redeveloping of the relation
real/ideal, post post-modern thought, is carried forward through first a critical engagement
with fiction and by adhering to an ontology of modelling: two pathways for creating
syntaxes that allow for both, the constitution of (a shared) structure and the divergence
from it.
