This passage explores an intriguing idea by comparing "inflation," an economic phenomenon, to a "reverse architectural act." Inflation, although lacking a physical form, significantly impacts society and is strongly felt by the public. This contrasts sharply with traditional architecture, which uses physical spaces to influence users' behavior.

Our experiment for Xsite is pushing the boundaries of this concept.

The idea suggests that architecture can actively respond to and reflect collective behavior, challenging the conventional one-way influence of buildings. Instead of passively being shaped by architecture, people gain the power to control and interact with it, ultimately experiencing the cumulative effects of collective actions through the built environment. This approach redefines architectural authority and deeply explores how design can enhance the interaction between people and space.
