The Reality of Virtuality - Axo

The Reality of Virtuality explores how architecture and immersive technology can shape new forms of public gathering and cultural rituals. The project imagines a future where competitive gaming, digital spectatorship, and augmented presence define civic space. Through modular inflatable structures and mixed-reality wearables, the work proposes a hybrid spatial system that bridges the digital and physical worlds.

This particular piece visualizes a speculative esports pavilion as both an arena and a ritual ground. It examines how infrastructure can adapt to fluid modes of engagement—where presence is networked, space is temporary, and participation is shared across screens and bodies. The work draws from both urban spectacle and intimate interaction, asking what role architecture plays in the emotional landscape of digital culture.
