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.

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. >>>>
