Goal
The goal of the course is to to experience a dimension of design between architecture and interior, a dimension big enough not to be a product, small enough not to be architecture.
In the course we will investigate our proximal space examining relations between body and space.
Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects exist and events occur and have relative position and direction.
Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime.
What
Students will design a space traslating one of the followign concepts/activities into space:
Love, Rest, Contemplate, Meditate, Play, Listen, Eat, Pray
Dimensions
2x2x2
The installation of the students will take a maximunt amount of space of 2m x 2 m x 2m, everything has to fit this maximum space, there is no limit for about the minimum space.
Basic Attributes of the designed Space
Light – Heavy – Light – Dark – Open – Closed – Smooth – Rough – Empty – Full – Sunny – Shady – Orderly – Chaotic – Silent – Noisy – Natural- Artificial – Warm – Cold – Sharp – Soft – Private – Public – Calm – Excited – Comfortable – Uncomfortable
Where
Barceloneta
Any given public space is good to insert the project.
The students will determine ahead the location.
They will think about how they experience the space:
How do you enter?
From where?
What do you do inside?
For how long?
What happen outside?
What do you hear?
Are you able to see outside?
Are “they able to see inside”?
Process
- User Observation: Experience your proximal space, map your movement and body.
- Work on shape get to know costrains of building a shelter: joints, structures, stability, feasability.
-
Inspect
modules.
- Build it up
