"Unpredictable Spaces" is a Web3D virtual exhibition, a collaborative project with Kiwook Jang(Void Architects) design studio at the Korea National University of Arts. Aim of the design studio is to address issues within the city of Seoul, proposing a new and imaginative spaces that goes beyond conventional experimental urban design, by excluding all the pre-existing architectural assumptions on redesigning the physical environment.

Ersatz converted students' design submissions into web3D spatial contents, and crafted the main exhibition page which is linked to each submissions. To convey the theme of design studio intuitively, the main page has 2 constrastive spaces; a real space expressed with sunlight and shadows and a virtual space depicted with glowing wireframes. The real space and virtual space has identical position and geometricla shape, and user can transit between real and virtual. The real space encompasses the problematics posed by entire studio itself and individual student's submission, while the virtual space is structured to showcase solutions and suggestions.

Additionally, the main page itself was planned to function as a discourse platform for urban architecture. In the real space section, a bulletin board feature was added for students to engage with visitors about their works. Upon transitioning to the virtual space, AI-summarized communication content, along with extracted keywords, is displayed, allowing a quick overview of the discussions on the bulletin board related to each submissions.
