For the 9th Biennale of Venice, architect Peter Eisenman created an installation in which visitors may observe and interact with a X3D virtual space that mirrors the physical space. The X3D model allows a user to navigate into the virtual space and to analyze, step by step, the genesis of design. “Our installation ... takes as its trajectory a narrative from Palladio to Piranesi to Terragni and finally to my own work. But rather than present this work in images, models, or a narrative text, we have proposed a spatial construct that attempts to disjunct, displace, and destabilize any continuous or sequential ‘promenade architecturale.’”
