SilenceTop: an interactive microarchitecture responding to social to non-social silences
SilenceTop is an interactive microarchitecture that exhibits different responses to silence, depending on the surrounding conditions. Silence, as a phenomenon, is not a tangible entity but rather recognized in the absence of social activities and sounds. The interpretation of silence varies among individuals based on their cultural background and the context in which it is situated. The interactivity inherent to SilenceTop does not hinge upon a predetermined objective or defined purpose; rather, it offers an experience characterized by openness, analogous to the multifaceted interpretations of silence.
