The Ghosts of Architecture Point Clouds, Affect and Collaged Hauntopias
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Clear+Park (C+P) use 3D laser scanning to create works that operate across architecture, installation, and media arts. C+P capture, edit and manipulate point-cloud data to document spaces, create speculative projects and spatial propositions; creating digital images and animations that engage with and respond to specific site narratives. In their work, C+P create complex assemblages that combine 3D rendering and post-production effects to create spatial collages that operate between the actual and the virtual. Using the veracity and verisimilitude of the scans opens a powerful opportunity to critique traditional forms of representation where conceptions of authenticity and specificity of place can be radically questioned. In the same way, the images of architectural photography do not simply reflect the inherent qualities of the architecture but actively construct those qualities. Author Biographies Nic Clear, Professor of Architecture & Dean of School of Arts and Humanities, University of Huddersfield Professor Nic Clear is a qualified architect, writer and curator. He is Professor of Architecture and Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities at the University of Huddersfield. He was a Professor of Architecture and Head of the Department of Architecture and Landscape at the University of Greenwich, having previously taught at the Bartlett School of Architecture for over 20 years. In 2015, he was the Inaugural Professor for Research in Visionary Cities at the Institute of Fine Arts in Vienna, and has taught in the UK, Europe, the US and Canada. Hyun Jun Park, Course Director Postgraduate Architecture, Leeds Beckett University Hyun Jun Park is a practitioner, writer, curator, fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Course Director for Postgraduate Architecture at the Leeds School of Architecture, Leeds Beckett University. Prior to this, he was Course Leader for the Master of Architecture at the University of Huddersfield and taught postgraduate M.Arch design studio at the University of Greenwich. Before he came to the UK, he was an associate architect at SAMOO Architects & Engineers (SAMSUNG Corp), Seoul, Korea. He was awarded M.Arch by the Bartlett School of Architecture and finished his BA and first master’s degree at Hongik University, Seoul, Korea. Clear + ParkClear+Park use 3D laser scanning to create multidisciplinary works that operate across architecture, installation, and media arts. Clear+Park use 3D scanning to capture spaces and create spatial representations and narratives that engage with, and respond to specific site histories and spatial practices. Through their research Clear+Park explore ways in which architects and artists can reproduce, develop, manipulate, and represent spaces using advanced digital technology in ways that engage with non-specialist audiences.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
