03.10 - 03.12 _ Program/Concept Sketching _ Phase 3

Phase 3 outline:

  

Create a photo collage that describes, from the users' point of view, the space(s) you are looking to create.  The image should speak of the human scale of your project.

- make a list of the users of your project and take/find photos of them (within the city or on the internet - don't use your classmates)  

- take photos of an existing situation that simulates the space(s) you are looking to create

- combine users and existing situation(s) within a newly envisaged photo collage that reflects you current program/concept

02.27 _ Complex Building - Course Start

Plurality and Complexity

As a starting point to the Complex Building course, which focuses on Bergen's Lagunen shopping center, the notion of architectural complexity was introduced through a series of historical examples such as the Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy (left) and the Mosque–Cathedral in Córdoba, Spain (right). Evident in these examples is how plural conditions (culture, economy, climate, technology, scale, religion, politics, time, etc.) shape architecture and vice-versa. A main focus this semester will be to work architecturally with and within the plural conditions which form complexity.
