Скачать или смотреть Architectural Institute Public Lecture Series: Mariabruna Fabrizi, “The Construction of Imagination”

The lecture explores architectural imagination as a structured and deliberate process. By connecting architecture with research in cognitive science, it proposes a new framework for understanding how imagination can be systematically constructed and directed within architectural practice, using specific tools and devices that draw on internal cognitive structures.

Moreover, by analysing the mechanisms underlying imaginative thought, the research demonstrates the cyclical relationship between imagination and space: imaginative structures emerge from interactions with space, are then externalised and spatialised, and in turn influence the very foundations of imagination once again. A series of projects by Microcities, both built and theoretical, provide an ongoing demonstration of the potential to spatialise imagination.
