Discrete Experience

How to discretize a museum?

by Anton Klyshnia, TU Wien, 2022

This bachelor thesis explores a new approach to museum design by treating the building as a series of discrete experiences rather than a continuous volume. The project uses Monoceros and Wave Function Collapse to distribute three types of spatial modules - exhibition, learning and circulation - into a coherent whole, where programme, space and form are considered on the same level.

Developed at TU Wien under the Äquivalente Architektur studio (Christoph Müller and Manfred Berthold), the design generates a modular tower whose internal circulation paths and spatial sequences emerge from the WFC solver, creating a unique museum experience with every aggregation.
