The Recorder builds up on a broad imaginary of return that consists of numberless personal fantasies and intentions for the citys future life. Instead of proposing a top-down model with predefined relations and urban hierarchies, we investigate a bottom-up design where the whole is formed by local rules that interact and retroact with their inevitable external boundaries. We start by setting the basis for a public negotiation of the emerging conflicts before the point zero of the citys reinhabitation. A website locates each users desire on a virtual model of Famagusta and adjusts the system accordingly, applying a set of cellular automaton rules

that produce each time a different virtual image of the city. The parametric system allows us to preserve change as a programmatic condition, to create a machine of becoming that potentializes the relationship between the city and its inhabitants and balances between the common and the personal desire. When Famagusta is finally returned to its inhabitants, this virtual collective intelligence digital space is materialized and dispersed in the city fabric, providing a network of physical monads [commons] that foster an open dialogue on the settlement of the urban space.

: Intervention on existing apartment /refurbishment

The application of the cellular automata rules in the city fabric produces spatial differentiations within the existing structural infrastructure that are expressed with mass customized components, avoiding the formal uniformity of the pixel. The produced voids are either dedicated to public space/greenery or to energy/water
