Pathological Space
Decodeine - Liquid Architecture
Architect and digital designer Dr. Margot Krasojevic has worked with Zaha Hadid and run studios at the A.A. and Bartlett as well as schools around the world. Her research and design practice is focused on time sequence, palimpsest and spatial narratives. During the past five years she has been engaged in work, publications, exhibitions and research on "pathological space" as displayed on her websites: Decodeine.

Dr. Krasojevic explores the perception of context as an environment of force and motion, a continuous seamless contextual metamorphosis rather than as a neutral vacuum, to question auto-pilot responses to our built environments. Both websites explore elements of projects which look at criteria's such as chemical imbalances in the brain, genetics and subjective interpretations of space, altering our perceptions and appropriations of the physical world.

The project shown here, 'Swimming Pool', use simulation, dynamics and time sequence analysis to capture the characteristics of light interacting with different materials, becoming the new context into which the pool is designed. The context is treated as a non-static condition and the architecture attempts to capture a non-hierarchical state which has no prescribed or automatic reading of the spaces allowing for multiple perceptions and continually changing views into and through the architecture, in this way breaking with ritual and presenting us with virgin territories. The architecture becomes a new context into which the true subconscious state affects the way in which the untrained body uses and experiences that space and the physical world, hence no forward masking.
