This collection by Beom Jun Kim is part of The Architecture of Virtual Space, an exhibition of immersive conceptual architecture, in The Unbuilt Gallery of Architecture.

WA.K Studio’s submission for The Unbuilt Gallery is a procedurally generated maze that is intended to leverage the possibility of a dynamic architecture in virtual reality. The maze is a random combination of four basic architectural walls that are procedurally placed providing users with a unique experience each time one enters it. The maze is placed in a virtual desert as a nod to Jean Baudrillard’s notion of the Desert of the Real and in an attempt to make the experience as intuitive as possible, the desert is juxtaposed with a lush green tree which serves as a landmark and the maze’s objective. Memory is also an important element in this scene as each player leaves behind a set of footprints that can be retraced or followed, creating a form of collective memory driven by architecture.
