Navigation Toolbox

studio inscape

This navigation tool is to distract a researcher from their day-to-day work at the university or institute and give imagery and gravity to their research. The final goal of the toolbox with compass is to help to create a network in which you can position yourself as a researcher.

Toolbox

The globalising world has been tried to capture in data. Numbers, charts, codes are methods to describe global flows and trajectories and are linked to climatic changes. The extraction, growth and distribution of materials is an important indicator of human impact on the climate. Scientists currently work through climate models that shape projections of possible futures. These projections are described in reports that influence policy all around the world. As architects, designers and builders we feel the influence of the policies written. In contrast to the data driven projections, the data is touched and experienced from closeby. Yet, we know little about the influence material extraction has for global climate change. In this project we questioned how we could bridge these two worlds. What are the tools of the scientist in relation to the tools of the architect? And how can we navigate these tools in a way that they create complimentary narratives?
