This project critically examines the potential of text to architectural mimesis, imagining a situation in the current text-driven artificial intelligence (AI) world where a door is a page, a building is a book, and a city is a library, where architectural and literary dexterity run in parallel. The project proposes a move to reinvent the potential of text and the book within a global media landscape, as a tool for spatial exploration. This is particularly poignant as text-to-image software is becoming increasingly implemented in creative endeavours. The world is entering a period where images are becoming arbitrary, given the endless possibility for almost instant iteration from a single prompt; all the while text-based information acquires ever greater relevance.

The change described above is taking place at a pivotal moment, when textual input interface AIs are closely retracing elements of the earlier text-based adventure game genre, which in itself was an offshoot from earlier interactive fiction. This project questions what the architect can offer to current text-based media systems in the spatialisation of text, that to date has only been tested in two dimensional print.
