2084 Narrative
In a future shaped by the legacy of the enigmatic relic, the counterculture of resistance unfolds against a pervasive virtual monoculture. The prevailing digital assimilation has given rise to a consumption-based society, where virtual experiences dominate, eroding the authenticity of human connection. Nestled in the ancient ruins of Roche Abbey, “Ciphered Haven Chronicles” becomes a testament to the counterculture’s resistance and resilience against this looming virtual monoculture within Neo-UK. This clandestine sanctuary, inspired by the Enigma machine, serves as the epicentre of countercultural defiance. The relic, a cryptic cypher, finds purpose within a carefully enshrined tomb, embodying ideals of secrecy, communication, and protection.
Spatial Concept
Their fascination leads to adapting the ruins into counterculture spaces, resisting the virtual monoculture. The challenge of this brief lies in assigning value to the relic midst archaeological discoveries. Through vigorous visual studies and research, I will become an expert on this relic which will fuel a future narrative of counterculture resistance and a design that befits the artefact. In response to the brief, I intend to thoroughly explore and research, ensuring thoughtful consideration, in order to craft a captivating narrative and design for the Abbey that is dedicated to the mysterious relic
