Corpora in Si(gh)te project was chosen to represent Hungary on the the 11th International Architecture Exhibition, from September 14 through November 23 in the year 2008. This webpage providers detailed information on the development of this project ans also offering a wide arrange of materials to study for those who are further interested in Corpora.
The Corpora is an algorithm and a virtual living mechanism in the same time. Corpora evolves over public spaces by using the data collected from hundreds of its sensors, and builds up a ‘harmonic’, ideal environment based upon these results.
(…) Human-made structures, most of today’s buildings are made like unitary organisms: they have a predetermined plan which is to be implemented. Small modifications are sometimes possible, but it is not desirable to elicit continuous alterations according to a changing environment. In contrast, the structure of the Corporant is similar to that of a modular organism: it perceives stimuli from the outside world and adjusts its growth according to them.

With the advance of nanotechnology and the use of computer coding, not only William Gibson’s vision – the almost instantaneous rebuilding of Tokyo with the help of nanotechnology after an earthquake – but also responsive spatially manifesting transformations such as Corpora can be realised.
