The idea of
transformation in terms of changing uses or functions is nothing new, neither
is the idea of programmatic hybridation. The dynamic environment we live in challenges
us to think relationships that go beyond the fixed as in becoming dynamic and
mutable. Through this optic, program
and typology refer less to fixed
functions, but rather relate to strategies responding to variable conditions,
enabling multiple, fluctuating relationships.
In this context,
[P3] is to be understood as a
mapping of potential strategies of transformation
in relation to the existing structure (one selected section – court yard – of
the visited building). The mapping of formal strategies should be performed in
dialogue with the introduction of new uses, and reflect upon their potential
spatial - and hence social -interaction. This should include thoughts on their
relation to the surrounding landscape; on potential particular relations with
existing uses; on potential facilities to be shared and the investigation of
use-specific requirements.
Performing the
studies in groups of 2 students, 2 chosen actions of transformation analysed in
the [P1] – Parasiting, Infiltrating,
Masking, Intertwining – are to be explored in relation to the existing
structure and new potential programs. In regard to the latter and in response
to the provided brief, each of the two is to choose an art form to which she or
he will relate their investigations (meaning that each team will deal with two
different art forms).
Announcing
intentions regarding their planned act of inhabitation of the existing
structure, each team is asked to create two scenarios (corresponding to the
chosen actions of transformation) and to produce spatially programmatic models focusing
on:
>Relations
between the existing structure and the strategy of potential inhabitation
In this context,
the existing structure is to be seen not only as a structural system, but also
as a material system that presents a spatial logic and an existing internal
organisation of particular relationships.
>Relations
between the fixed and the flexible
>Relations between
the generic, potentially serial and the specific
>Relations
between inside and outside
The character of
the models as well as the used materials depend on the nature of the performed
studies, however the models should not exceed the following dimensions:
29,7x29,7x29,7 cm.
Each model is to
be supplemented by a 3d axonometric drawing (A1 format in vertical) exploring
spatial relationships between body/structure/space, interior as well as
exterior.
The 3d drawing
is to be understood as a visual narrative of developed scenario(-s), involving the
production of new material, as well as utilizing material collected during the
study trip [P2], and the model production process. The drawing is to be
supplemented by a text explaining relations (max. 10 words), as well as announcement
of sources (texts; photos).
Both model and the drawing are to be given a short and precise preliminary
title announcing their embedded programmatic intentions.
The production
of models is introduced by a course in utilizing digital workshop equipment (the
water jet, laser cutter et. al.).

Following the
collective documentation and analysis of selected examples of transformation and
prior to the spatial interventions, the second phase [P2] turns to the individual analysis of the site. With a focus on extracting
spatial and environmental potentials, as well as utilizing the historical facts
and archival material as a potential foundation for further explorations and
specific design decisions, the investigations will be performed on–site where two-days
workshop will be organised in collaboration with the ProraZentrum. During that
visit the following relations have to be analysed/mapped/registered:
>
outside/inside
>
space/structure
> space/body
>
space/environment
>
serial/unique
Furthermore,
during the study trip to Berlin existing renowned examples of architectural
transformation will be visited, providing insights into
restoration/transformation strategies and practices, complementing previously
developed taxonomy.
6 buildings
chosen from the list included in the Study Trip Guide will be analysed with
particular attention to the relationships:
> existing/new
>
space/body/environment
> exhibited
work(s) of art/space/body
Each student is
asked to process the produced/collected material (drawings, photos) during the
study trip, communicating the results of the performed investigations in
Seawhite Sketchbook (A5 format) using collage technique.
Two parts will
compose the notebook:
[P2.1] Berlin – two pages per visited
building:
Page 1. Title defining discovered relations/ maximum 10 words
Page 2. Collage
[P2.2] Prora – two pages per analysed relation:
Page 1. Title defining mapped relations/ maximum 10 words

>>>Phase 1 [P1]: Relational taxonomy

Langarita
Navarro arquitectos: Transformation of
RBMA headquarters at Matadero Madrid Nave 15, Madrid, Spain (2011)

The [P1] is to be understood as a mapping
of potential strategies of transformation,
building an exploratory framework which may inform the subsequent
architectural propositions. In this context, the studied works will constitute a potential guide for approaching the
existing building in Prora, as well as serve as a key to interpreting its
potentials, and later on to choosing the design strategy.
In this context,
following potential actions of transformation are to be studied:
>Parasiting
>Infiltrating
>Masking
>Intertwining
Performing the
studies in groups of 4 students, 1 chosen work – associated with one of the categories
– will be analysed with particular attention to the relationships:
>Between the
existing and the new structural system(s)/materials
>Between the
existing typology and the new program/strategy of inhabitation
>Between
climatic/ambient conditions and inhabitation (dynamics of use) in 12 month
time-scale and/or 24 hours time-scale
The above-mentioned
relations, as well as the potential cross-relations, will be illustrated and
communicated through collages and diagrams in A1 index-sheet. No text (except the title announcing character of the
analysed relations) is to be used. No image/drawing (except one representative
image) will be used without being previously processed/re-worked – meaning in
their original state.
The layout and
the character of the index-sheet will
depend on the nature of the produced and/or collected material. However, conceived
as a laboratory, in which the
collective inquiry and production transcends the scope of individual interests
and insights, [P1] aims at constructing
a collective archive of case studies, which will establish a foundation for
further discussion and project development. Thus, the students are asked to
adjust their material to the following format:
>A1 sheet (in
vertical) folded (zig-zag) in 4 sections
>3 sections will
correspond to the studied relations
Maximum 10 words title will be assigned to each analysed relationship.
>1 section
will contain as follow:
action(s) which the analysed work is
associated with
1 representative image (announcing the source)
title of the work
author(s)
year of construction and transformation
location
climatic zone
names of the students will be placed at the lower left section of the A1
sheet.
>font: Times
New Roman
Each team should
at least involve one newcomer/exchange student, one 2nd year student and one
3rd year student.
All produced/collected
material should be available at the presentation.
All used
material – quotes, references, images etc.– must announce source according to
the provided reference system.
The final
catalogue is to be delivered both on paper and as a PDF document uploaded to
the shared folder. >>>>
