M4: FINAL PRESENTATION

As a final task, we presented our individual works on the chosen architectural theory. Some of the approaches were analyzed and re-formulated in hipotetical scenarios, like Adolf Loos on Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Bernard Tschmumi on FourSquare or Daniel Libeskind on The Matrix. At the same time, there was some emphasis on analyzing the role of technology for this architectural theories, as well as the different interest towards technology therein, as we can see in J. Christensen’s... Read More

Also, we had one ‘input’ lecture for our analysis from Andrei Rodin on Objects Without Structure, a philosophical introduction... Read More

M4: Week 1. Reviewing students’ work

During this first week, based on documents, papers and manifestos, we all presented the architect of our preference to work on. From Adolf Loos to Cecil Balmond, this week goal was to analyse and find key concepts and anchor-points. A series of questions from our perspective had to be made in order to understand their theory and start constructing our own attitude. _ Find students’ work here: Aleksandar Lalovic (Audio) Hideaki Takenaga on Metabolism (Audio & Presentation) Jesper... Read More
