The Collegium Hungaricum Berlin aims to presents a modern and European picture of Hungary, expanding
and deepening cultural and scientific collaborations. It becomes the physical host for the 'Corpora', a cellular, fluid and generative architectural organism created by the transnational art and design group doubleNegatives Architecture (dNA). A meshed network structure of urban sensors and cameras monitoring, collecting and distributing real-time environmental information including temperature, brightness, humidity, wind direction and sound feeds a system of nodes, each making local decisions independent of a central architect. An intelligent corpus augmenting the reality of the .CHB's urban environment, Corpora in Si(gh)te gives rise to a new architectonic and artistic entity.

In this comedy of errors, they find themselves questioning their values and putting their willpower and, ultimately, their happiness to the test.
