What happens to architecture when gravity disappears?
Not as a thought experiment—but as a real design condition.

Multiple people can occupy the same volume, moving in different directions, performing different tasks, without ever sharing the same “ground.”
But this freedom comes with a strange constraint: if you can’t reach a surface, you can’t move.
In a space that is too open, a person can become physically stuck—unable to generate motion, suspended inside architecture itself.
At the same time, architecture is undergoing another transformation.
Most of us will never experience these spaces physically. We will encounter them through images, renderin ...
