Architectural Thinking

2013-04-18

This work started from the conditions. Defined through Abilities, the Spaces got specific in conditions. Everything in this project, the process and the product, is about to Be and to Move simultaniously. To Be forms the condition and creates a possibility to Move and have Experiences that allow and invite you to UnLearn. At the location all different layers merge together in the way that they do not exclude an other layer, they don’t have to include the others either: ‘the lucky accident’ emerges. The final result is the total mass of the building: a landscape of Asignifying Affordances in the Assemblage. While reflecting back I found out that the approach in the process of this design is more similar to a Landscape design than to any more traditional Architectural Approach. This because “landscape methods could summarize a whole range of apparently different approaches towards architecture”. This layering of many different fragmental aspects is exactly what I needed to succeed my project in the way I demanded.
