For Chiharu Koda, spaces are not rigid shells but living processes: they flow, condense, dissolve, and emerge anew. Movements, history, and encounters shape them. But what happens when space is not thought of as static, but like a river – shaped by external forces and constantly changing?
During her ten-month residency at studio hö, she described the location as a “Delta” – a river fork where the social and cultural currents of the city converge. From this perspective, three projects on the theme of space and water were developed.
The final project, Delta, transfers the dynamics of a river delta to an urban context. The entire studio becomes an interactive installation: sensors track visitors’ movements, while modules made of wood, bioplastic from the Rhine, 3D-printed elements, and ceramics respond mechanically. Algorithms process the data in real time, creating an “urban delta” – a layered, constantly changing space that not only reveals architecture but also makes the movements, encounters, and currents of a city tangible.
