This project tries to investigate and
question the spread and impact of
fake news and conspiracy theories
by making a space that already
with its title negates any factual
relevance of what happens inside.
The project uses an existing airship
hangar, housing performance spaces,
a series of theaters, and meeting
rooms as well as not programmed
areas, that can be easily transformed.
Through the massive volume of the
existing structure, the main areas are located within the thickness of the
steel structure, allowing a entirely
evacuated central space. The visitors
are inclined to participate, occupy
and even live within this building,
as it is based on the word-of-mouth
transfer of nonsensical information
and beliefs.
