The New Citizens’ Forum
[Year 3 Building Project]

Bartlett School of Architecture
June 2025

CRAFTED FROM THE SIGHTLINES OF BERLIN’S SUPER AUDIENCE and rooted in the political nature of performative roles, the New Citizens’ Forum reimagines the relationship between public discourse, civic performance and audience spectatorship.

This building project is manifested in the dramaturgical concept of the ‘Super Audience’ and transforms civic engagement and political debate into an immersive, theatrical act where the boundary between participant and observer is blurred [using both isolated and indirect eye-tracking technology]. A subjective diagnosis of the building is then computed into binary gaze precision values and a correlated steam output enacts Brecht’s Verfremdungseffekt [alienation / distancing effect]. As steam obscures the known visual, an ethereal landscape is created, subsequently shifting political conversation, radio broadcasting and viewpoint experience.

A feedback loop of participation and observation.
