ABSTRACT

This chapter showcases a series of design experiments in the form of physical models which involve projectors, screens and a miniature endoscope able to record in detail the fabricated spaces. The chapter deals with the notion of demonstration proper and examines the study's most crucial insights relating to the screen's investigation being a constituent of architectural space. They include the primacy of proportion over scale, the retroactive production of meaning in the act of visiting a space, and most importantly how the screen allows architecture not to propose an object through a process but rather present its process as object. In anticipation, the screen exemplifies how for architecture self-reference is a spatial distinction where the constructed elements are part of something to which they refer.
