A board game (i.e. ‘generative device’) is designed, built, and played multiple times. The results of the game are interpreted as abstract two-dimensional diagrams, and later as basic organizational volumes. These become the formal and operational premises for an architectural proposal.

The resulting spatial order is injected with program: a 60,000 sq ft Kunsthal for the display of contemporary video art. Thus, the resulting building is not based on typological or programmatic precedents. Instead, it is an artifact that results from a sequence of rationalized formal operations.
