By looking closely at games, we can get more out of architecture than we do now.” This interview was originally published de Architect magazine themed ‘Digitization and Robotization, read the entire issue here (Dutch only).

This is inspired by the way that players in games can suddenly move from one world to another. You move from an alienating cyber world to a living room made of natural materials such as bamboo, or to a light office space.” This article was originally published in Dutch in de Architect magazine.

I made a space that inflates and adapts to the needs of the users.” Lesson learned from Frederieke: games are fast and changeable, architecture slow and permanent. Frederieke made something in between: wearable architecture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1604260908381-Y2JG5S9YLY9X63I5Y5MA/Giulio+Angeli%3A+The+act+of+waiting Teaching - Assignment Fort Pod Pods are everywhere. Our everyday life and public space are podifying. In the already legendary series ‘Love is Blind’ pods are separated by a thin wall, so you can see but not hear each other. Tiny houses function as living pods, soundproof pods are installed in open offices for quiet individual working. There are napping pods, gaming pods and holiday pods. Why this podification? Is it because we like to be in our own bubble, yet part of a bigger community? Do we want to have the benefit of private space, without having the responsibility to clean and maintain it? Do we crave the peace and quiet of secluded space in our evermore connected and stimulating world? Is it a substitute for the lost world of cells in monasteries? What is sure is that the pod is “not a home, but a single generic cell that belongs to the entirety of the metropolis” (Aureli and Tattara, 2018). In this project we are going to make FORT POD, a fortress turned into the epitome of podness, reflecting our love for pods and shedding more light on the phenomenon. The building can consist of a series of pods, or it can be one big pod. The program can be anything you feel deserves a pod, excluding the obvious choices: living pods and study pods are already there, we are going to make something that deserves a pod but hasn’t been thought of yet. img © Giulio Angeli: The act of waiting Giulio Angeli: “A pod for individual proactive waiting, like a private mental vent.” Lesson learned from Giulio: a very intuitive kind of Barbarella architecture, sometimes not overthinking architecture gives the best results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1602937736028-OZZG2BL2CJ6M9GB2KMLK/Anthea+Papp%C3%A0%3A+Blind+Light Teaching - Dwarf Fortress, losing is fun! 2019 Architecture project Academy of Architecture Amsterdam 1st year Master Architecture, Urbanism & Landscape Architecture img © Anthea Pappà: Blind Light Anthea Pappà: “How to translate the experience of being in digital space into a spatial experience? What is the identity of the ‘digital’ self? A landscape of shadows coexisting in digital space.” Lesson learned from Anthea: we don't have to feel restricted and can put a large amount of gaming culture, philosophy and world history in one single building design, with a strong result. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1602958499493-KWZL73UIRPUNY4AKMWWQ/Richard+Doensen%3A+Destination+Unknown Teaching - Assignment Dwarf Fortress, losing is fun! In 2012 the MOMA added a series of video games to their collection, including Dwarf Fortress. It lives in the basement, in a vault on a server. If a war would break out tomorrow and we would be bombed, we would still have dwarf fortress living in the dungeons of the MOMA. As a visitor to the museum, however, this doesn’t let you experience Dwarf Fortress. If the MOMA would place a computer in the exhibition rooms enabling visitors to play Dwarf Fortress, it would not make sense because you can play it just as well on your computer at home, in the train, wherever you are. You don’t need to go to a museum for that. This is why we will design a built version of Dwarf Fortress. An incarnated, solidified version, that you can physically visit and experience. This is not as easy as it sounds. Because the architecture in Dwarf Fortress is randomly generated, the layout is completely different every time you enter the game. So there is no building you can just copy and physically build. So you as an architect will have to dive deep into the structure of Dwarf Fortress, to figure out what is the essence of the game that you will make a built version of. img © Richard Doensen: Destination Unknown Lesson learned from Richard: translating game space into architecture can be done metaphorically, in this case, visitors to the pavilion think they have a free choice of direction, but in fact, they don’t, just like in the game Dwarf Fortress. https://www.dafnewiegers.nl/architecture daily 0.75 2021-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1602965534519-B80SS4OY070X5C9RBN6E/20++Champions+%2B+Chatbox+%2B+Phones+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Champions + Chatbox + Phones https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603028402000-V7JHSV3GO4Y1AQO4CGY0/33+Tunnel+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Tunnel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603036144773-34VMKMB45HGBU0AGWM8D/39+Phones+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Phones https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603036401526-PH5LE1XU0VOH7SC2F2MW/27+Champions+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Ceiling scrim rooms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603036886272-HNZAJPHJ84MP31VQNC6I/47+Hideout+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Hideout https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603037298261-V7DV56JR35DWYHD4X32A/36+Bottom+Lane+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Bottom Lane https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603044036265-S363URNSSM3ICSZA6YEG/09+Canteen+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Canteen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603044442832-6S1ZZXSH05E1HL2Y95UM/44+Open+Office+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Open Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603044973148-19I72R00O0XF4RW2CFIN/16+Chatbox+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Chatbox https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603045219473-83R7BWLF4OB8UEQU6FJU/02+Canteen+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Canteen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603045550517-Y1HL1KK63KQWFP5PC4NA/05+Server+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Server https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603045742280-Q9MQ6YOEFB10WQ12WUYF/25+Champions+AWTF-EU+AHH%26VenhoevenCS+photo+by+Teo+Krijgsman.jpg Architecture Team Liquid's AWTF-EU: Scrim Rooms https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1603048251177-T1QY7RNIEEA5X2M7P9VL/Gevel+Vosselmanstraat+Coda+Cafe+AHH+photo+by+Petra+Appelhof.jpg Architecture CODA café Apeldoorn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1604248266752-TD379CJOVWUEXVSAAAQ7/HomeOfLegendsFacade.jpg Architecture Home of Legends: Street View https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1604248433299-HYHI8SO9L032H75WF9US/HomeOfLegends.jpg Architecture Home of Legends: Wall of Fame https://www.dafnewiegers.nl/teamliquid daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://www.dafnewiegers.nl/coda-cafe daily 0.75 2020-11-19 https://www.dafnewiegers.nl/home-of-legends daily 0.75 2021-01-02 https://www.dafnewiegers.nl/dafnewiegers daily 1.0 2021-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1612706144588-2D0V52ZZ09KYOY6CZ0HO/arrow.png Dafne Wiegers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1612703866471-WFKCCKXMXDTVSTWV0XU2/2020P1aFrederiekeHakman2.jpg Dafne Wiegers - Teaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae9e2b905e322dcac16442/1605457507062-68YDOJ6LIIFVJWNNXSC3/PostCyberpunkDafneWiegers.jpg Dafne Wiegers - Thoughts.
