An interactive research project on the relationship between intention and result
within the process of urban transformation that constantly reshapes our cities.
Each dialogue is shown in a split screen, allowing the content of one reaction to complement or contradict another one.
By establishing these relations we can better connect approaches and content and therefore,
create new perspectives on the way we look at our reality.
You are invited to start using and rotating the slide of the interactive index to explore the dialogues!

Act I
Brief
Representation of intentions
The mechanics of perception, communication and persuasion that are needed to help envisage the intention of an idea, a transformation. The focus of this act is to understand the different ways that are used to simulate a reality that is still not existing – or that exists only as idea or plan – and to imagine the potential impact that the intended transformation might have when realized within its context.
Approaches
The dialogues have been created by the moderators team to find similar or contradictory approaches between contributions.
For now, the authors have opened up a wide conversation tackling the brief "representation of intentions" as announcement; suggestion; imposition; seduction; glorification; information; propaganda; camouflage; approximation; virtual reality; prediction.
New authors joining every week to expand the conversation.
Act II
Brief
Revision of intentions
What happens when the intention encounters/ meets/ clashes with its real context (an immediate, physical site; values, meanings and local ‘prescriptions’). What is the result of this interaction? Context might re-define intentions.
