„Not only are the processes that bring things into existence and keep them there aesthetic in nature, but so are the processes that relate things to one another, as well as those that destroy them.“ 

(Spuybroek Lars, The Sympathy of Things, 2011)

The project is addressing the idea of a process-orientated perception of space and possible ways of depicting it. The investigation is based on the nature illustrations of Ernst Haeckel which were published in the book „Art forms in nature“, in 1904. The world we are living in is increasingly becoming more complex. We are gaining access to a steady growing diversity of informations and on the same time experiencing an ubiquitous and ongoing theorization of our everyday life. We are constantly acting in a space that is composed of a multitude of dimension but we are capable of perceiving just a fraction of this coexisting spacial realities by our senses. However, it is an intrinsic desire of humanity not only to be aware of this complexity that is surrounding us but to strive for techniques and methods to illustrate and depict it. The focus of this project is to understand and to image space itself as a product of variety of virtualities and simultaneous existing events. That means to perceive architecture and form as active entities that are in a constant process of transformation and change. Furthermore, this approach will be enriched by an aesthetical theory that links the concept of an active space to a notion of sympathy within an architectural context.
