Tilde(~) - Forensic Research Institute aims to question the role of architecture in the field of dialectical perception. In this project theoretical framework is formulated as a doubling of two different philosophical schools of thought: epistemology and phenomenology. They converge as a bigger theoretical constellation in order to interpret how architecture phenomenon is constructed in the city of Bucharest. The following findings are then converted into series of different mappings, 2.5 models and assemblages. They address the question how architecture and in particular its representation can be used to express this dialectical mods of understandings... Yet it's only a refraction of a larger phenomena. This methodology of creating visual apparatus reflected in the final architectural design. Form follows refraction is a architectural design manifesto where architecture is an assemblage of various transparent materials and their various physical characteristics that can refract, reflect, mirror, blur, architecture space. This architecture can't no longer be perceived as a whole and is creating an oligopticon where you can read only a small piece of a larger panorama. So the final architectural result operates in a very similar mods as does Forensic type of work but this time operating on architecture itself. Bridging theory to design.
