The Architectural Association, one of the most prestigious and competitive schools of architecture in the world, wanted to explore the links between architecture and magic. Many of the effects that architects create can be considered using magical terminology - vanishes, appearances, transformations, levitations, penetrations, etc.
I created a series of hands-on workshops for them to explore the magical use of space, the manipulation of form and movement to create illusions, the control of focus and attention, and the potential of smart architecture to create magical experiences and mindreading spaces.
