Engaging the deep challenges of human cognition with intellectual rigour, this thesis advances a bold and exciting architectural response in cultivating capabilities for wayfinding in future urban environments. It tackles the impending onset of artificial general intelligence (AGI) by arguing for the human need to elevate our cognitive abilities for augmented collaboration with future technologies. The rhizomic organisational structure echoes the complex interrelated neural links of our brain while creating visceral experiences for navigating realworld urban conditions. The exhilarating design reflects the intellectual ambition that befits an architectural thesis and speaks volumes of the student’s abilities.
