Enigmatic Reverie: Reimagining Roche Abbey in 2080
Enigma Machine
2084 Narrative
In a world where artificial intelligence rules, privacy seems like a thing of the past.Every element of our lives is meticulously monitored and analysed by intelligent systems, leaving no opportunity for discretion. A time when people are only nodes in a massive, interconnected web of data has arrived, despite the fact that this omniscient surveillance has been promoted as efficiency and security.
As the distinction between public and private domains become more hazy, algorithms trade personal data, rendering anonymity obsolete. There are serious societal repercussions to this persistent surveillance, including the loss of individual freedom and ongoing comprehension of artificial oversight. Even with the best of intentions, there are severe consequences.
Spatial Concept

This section provides a spiritual retreat from the AI-controlled world using positive and negative spaces alongside lights and movement to encourage self-discovery. The second part is an underground tomb accessed through hidden tunnels to restrict entry. The use projectors and rapid flashing images to invoke a hypnotic state to allow the visitor to connect with their history pre-AI the main feature of the tomb is the enigma machine that influences the design. Exiting through the tunnels into a pavilion that leads to the workshop whose exterior facade resembles the enigma machine routers. The space consists of computer-coding historical mechanics books and a workshop equipped for designing and constructing AI protective devices.
