Multi Perceptions / Multi Portraits

Abstract

Since the appearance of movie, ‘reproduction’ of reality has become a characteristic of modern civilization. The emergence of Computer and Internet technology have made ‘complete’ portrait penetrated into every aspect of our daily life. Such phenomenon of infinite reproduction is referred as ‘multi perceptions’. As a star architect, Koolhaas used such ‘multi perceptions’ to ‘multi portrait’ the Bordeaux house he designed. In such a way, Koolhaas revealed the hardly detectable spacial and behavioral details behind a common dwelling, which inspired us that we should put more attention on exploring the relation among architecture, new media and new mode of expression.
