Stack

STACK has evolved over the past 35 years. The system is still
conducting the a/b split test on each program modules. The system
has adapted to the change of society and reality to suit the social
environment that surrounds it. The spatial configuration, quality and
use of spaces have changed and through iterations of the split test
the system realised the change and has adapted to meet the needs
of the users. The programs are no longer equally divided, over the
years the love hotel has slowly eroded the multi-faith, there seems
to be a dying trend of religion and belief in 2058. There seems to be
dying hoping during this time, it might be a mixture of the distorted
reality controlled by the images we see or that contemporary life has
changed so much since the past but we longer focus what is really
important to humanity, it seems like we are all taking part in this
‘arms race’ to reach the top, you bettering the person next to you
and doing anything to be better than others. Society is so fixated on
bigger, better, best.
The modularity of STACK has allowed it to expand vertically and
spread across the site, the flexible and dynamic nature of the
system has allowed it to adapt to the changing sociopolitical and
environmental landscape, enabling it to withstand the test of time,
(name of project) is timeless. The constant renewal of the modular
parts that form (name of project) means that the place you visited
last month would not be the same, through the iteration of modules
and constant change, spatial experience and interaction is always
different and changing.
In the beginning, foot traffic was diverted and redistributed towards
the new entrances, people started to take advantage of the laneway
as a refuge from the elements external to the site. Pop up markets
and shops filled the territorial space as the laneways transformed
from sprawl landscapes and began to take advantage of the vertical
nature of STACK. There is no longer an even split between programs,
multi-faith modules were not as popular as hotel pods or market
pods. The system realised this and shuffled the distribution of spaces.
