By exploring the parameters of immersive space, the work explores the possibility of manipulating perceptual inference sets to infer amplified agent-environment behaviours and operates to dissolve the barrier between environment, perception and reality, but also aims to establish an alternative model for architectural analysis and experimentation. This model aims to establish an architectural process that is more greatly attuned to ‘mutual causal connectedness’ (Harries-Jones, 2002: 37) and speculates on the ability to manipulate the interrelationships between perception, affect and feedback as a relational system to advance extra dimensions of spatiality. This less linear, more dynamic hypothesis aims to determine new methods for facilitating an enhanced state of ‘spatial intelligence’ (Schaik, 2008), making space visible and open to experimentation and promotes transactional methodologies to gain enhanced modes of spatial acuity to extend the repertoire of architectural practice. The epistemological position of the work is that of ‘practitioner as researcher’ (Gray and Malins 2004: 21), whilst the perspective of the enquiry is orientated towards and includes informed collaborations from Dr Anthony Morse and Dr Frank Broz from the Centre of Robotics and Neural Systems, Plymouth University.
