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.).
