Square E5!

The white square is the element that unites everything into one system. It symbolizes the basis on which each game is built. The white beginning applies to all three games.

The game «An infinite World». White represents the possibilities and potential for creating an unlimited physical space of the city. The flat surface of the white sheet has acquired a volume that is infinitely transformable and where each next step can lead to an entirely new assemblage of space. Just as the flat surface of a white sheet acquires volume through folds and cuts, so the urban space is transformed through architectural scenarios.

The game «Prediction». White acts as a symbol of unforeseen possibilities that may arise in the future urban landscape and its scenarios. Architectural space is not only what has already been created, but also what may yet emerge as a result of spontaneous decisions and unexpected influences. The white square here is the uncertainty of the future and its unwritten scenarios.

The game «A place for a step forward». White symbolizes a place for a new development of the city's space, a void that calls to be filled. The absence of space, is as important as presence. The empty space is an invitation to action. This absence makes us think about what can be changed or added to the world around us.

An infinite world is a beginning.

Prediction is an uncertainty.

A place for a step forward is an emptiness.
