>>>Thursday April 10th at 10:15am in the Gym: Pin up

All students are requested to present material (i.e. models and drawings) developed in response to the [P4] assignment´s [S] scale requirements:
[S] 1:20 and/or 1:10 and/or 1:1 / detail(-s)
The objective is to explore and develop material qualities in one or more critically selected relation(-s) between the existing structure and the proposed transformative intervention. The selection criteria should be based on the materials ability to document proposed materialization(-s) of paramount interest to the chosen act of intervention.
Hand-in of material 8-9am.

Please note info-meeting on assessment in the Grand Auditorium 9-10am.

>>>Tue March 18th at 12-2pm: Pin up in the studio based on blogs

Introducing their initial programs 3 teams - or potentially students working independently - will be asked to present the current status of their project development. Additionally to present their plans for midterm review presentation keeping in mind that the midterm review should be utilized as a means of framing a discussion that is of paramount value to their further project development.
The pin up being based on blogs, please note that potential supplementary material (drawings; models etc.) should be organised for presentation before the start of the pin up (a projector and a PC will be provided).

>>>Phase [P4] Re-inhabitation

Following the development of individual programs defining act of transformation and art form, hence founding the development of a transformativel intervention proposal, [P4] emphasises a focus on investigations leading to concretization of their on-site materialisation.
Each team/student is required to perform the investigations in response to a final hand-in requirement of their presentation material in four different scales, XL, L, M, S:

[XL] 1:5000 or 1:10000 / territorial relations
The material should communicate
-      relations between the larger physical context and the structural organization of the planned and existing PRORA complex recording state (planned, but not realized; demolished; ruin; original state transformed during DDR rule; recent transformation)
-       the area which is subject of transformative intervention and its relation to / impact on the existing PRORA complex
The objective is to explore and communicate particular qualities in the existing structure-context relations, and the transformative intervention´s approach to the disclosed qualities.

[L] 1:1000 / local relations
The material should communicate
-       relations between the transformative intervention the adjacent physical context
-       distribution of programs disclosing in-between relations
The objective is to explore particular qualities in the existing structure-context relations at a local level, and communicate the transformative intervention’s approach to qualifying the disclosed qualities.

[M] 1:50 or 1:100 / in-between relations
The objective is to explore and develop particular spatial, material and immaterial qualities in the relations between the existing structure and the proposed transformative intervention.
Scale should be critically selected in correspondence with its ability to fulfil this objective.
The production of a model in either 1:50 or 1:100 is compulsory and is to be supplemented by drawings.

[S] 1:20 and/or 1:10 and/or 1:1 / detail(-s)
The objective is to explore and develop material qualities in one or more critically selected relation(-s) between the existing structure and the proposed transformative intervention. The selection criteria should be based on the materials ability to document proposed materialization(-s) of paramount interest to the chosen act of intervention.
