Shaped Touches

Shaped Touches explores architecture as a meeting point between what bodies can sense and the information around them. It considers how healthcare and wearable technologies can extend sensory abilities while climate change reshapes expectations of future environments.

The game considers experiences such as seeing near-infrared light, accessing layers of augmented reality, hearing plants communicate in low-frequency sound and empathizing with people whose senses differ from your own. It presents architecture not as a single objective form, but as overlapping sensory spaces that people access in different ways. Sharing a physical space does not necessarily mean experiencing the same architecture, a difference that can enable creativity while also fragmenting public space.
