Shape algorithm of narrative strategy : magical realism, 2022
Research Proposal

Type: Academic
Involvement: Personal project
This section illustrates a rough research proposal for graduate studies. I want to convert literary narrative techniques into architectural form-generating algorithms.
Particularly, I am interested in a narrative strategy called "magical realism".

1. If you look around, you might find an unfamiliar world.
2. You will need delicate eyes because the world is buried in familiarity.
3. However, once you find it, make the world fill the canvas; The new space is there.

General form generating algorithm



Magical shape algorithm


A form-generating algorithm is basically the number of combination cases of primary shapes. So, in the case of the magical
form algorithm, the combination logic should be designed in a way that contradicts our shared sense of shape formation.
Below sketch is my proposal to create a nonsensical form-making algorithm.
