ARKAIK_ is an interactive-architecture piece which allows users to navigate through a virtual space, visually inspired in the main hallway and archs of Barcelona’s Convent de San Agustì, a structure from 15th century. This transit space, as architectural design, is already of a conceptual/constructive nature. ARKAIK_ is an exploration of the 'transformations' and 'modifications' that every space experiences through the changes of its use in time. A 3-dimensional environment responsive to the viewer, transformable through user interaction in real-time.
