Framing Dubrovnik


Some Rules for Students and Teachers by John Cage

RULE ONE: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for a while. RULE TWO: General duties of a student - pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students. RULE THREE: General duties of a teacher - pull everything out of your students. RULE FOUR: Consider everything an experiment. RULE FIVE: Be self-disciplined - this means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way. RULE SIX: Nothing is a mistake. There is no win and no fail, there is only make. RULE SEVEN: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things. RULE EIGHT: Don’t try to create and analyse at the same time. They’re different processes. RULE NINE: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think. RULE TEN: “We’re breaking all the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities.” (John Cage) HINTS: Always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully, often. Save everything - it might come in handy later.


TERM 2 CINEMA ARCHITECTURE Code No Title AR1006 Architectural Design 1 (AD1) Level 1 Compulsory for Course Co-ordinators

Methods of Assessment 100% Coursework Credits 70 BSc Architectural Studies Dr Cristian Suau (Chair Winter term) Sam Clark (Chair Autumn term)

Contributing Staff The following internal staff is going to support winter term: Juliet Odgers (regularly only Mondays), Prof Peter Salter (tectonic week), Dr Wassim Jabi (7 digital sessions), Sergio Pineda (6 digital sessions) and Nick Humes (6 digital sessions). The following external tutors have been appointed only for winter term (only Fridays): Maria Kramer, Catherine Pease, John Carter, Peter Feldmann, Marc Sustr and Andrew Faulkner Aims and Rationale Note the AD1 Module runs over two semesters. This preview should be read in conjunction with the annual AD1 preview, which consists of term 1, term 2 (inclusive fieldwork) and 3 (Vertical Studio). AD1 term 2 builds upon the design principles and methods previously introduced through the Design Studio (term 1) and DPM1 module. The winter term of AD1 is comprised of one design project called ‘Cinema Architecture: Cinémathèque Dubrovnik’, split into the following component parts: 1. Concept and Place 2. Spatial Sequencing 3. Framing 4. Story Boarding 5. Implementation Design Programme The module aims to explore parallel approaches to the conceptualisation and composition of place, space, time, materiality and narrative in cinematographic and architectural practices. Beyond drawing useful implications for design, films and buildings can be read and designed as ‘assemblages’ not directed to the formal expression of meaning, but to the framing of strategic and enabling conditions of emergent sense, realised within the tectonic and material conditions of the cinematic and the architectural as such. The Cinémathèque is a compact cinema club situated in the old city of Dubrovnik. It is an intimate and lowtech space restricted to one main staircase. In order to respond properly to the immediate surroundings, the film house is going to have up to 3 storeys. Student will design this building under the principles of simplicity, flexibility a playful game of double and triple heights. It is all about cubic meters rather that square meters. The height of the Cinémathèque’s front has to response harmoniously according to the cultural, urban and architectural streetscape. No car park and services are required. Up to 70% of the plot might be covered. The film house’s design has to consider an inner patio for cross ventilation and natural lighting and outdoor activities. The essential programme consists of: - Indoor Cinema w/ 36 seats (double or triple height) - Courtyard - Foyer (double or triple height) - Cafe bar (double height) - Archive centre (double height) - Toilets - Roof terraces - Central vertical circulation (one staircase)Review 2 (30.03.2012)

TERM 2 CINEMA ARCHITECTURE By the end of Term 2 (inclusive vertical studio) we expect students to:  Develop a range of representational and investigative conceptualisation, drawing and modelling skills.  Understanding of the poetic potential of ‘place’ in relation to the formation of architectural intentions.  Knowledge, understanding and skills in relevant basic IT visualisation and drawing packages  Ability to uncover, explore and present such potential through drawn, modelled and photographic investigations (analogic or digitally).  Ability to design a contemporary compact building, well contextualised and spatially rich, to resolve the design to an appropriate level in terms of conceptualisation, function, poetics of light and space, inhabitation and assemblage. Dubrovnik Fieldwork:  Study buildings in situ as a way of developing architectural understanding.  Specific emphasis on developing photographic, constructional and drawing skills through the use of on-site recording, measuring and sketching. Composition of Module Autumn Term: ‘Coastal Dwelling’ project located in Barry, Wales Winter Term: Major design project called Cinema Architecture: Cinémathèque Dubrovnik’; incorporating Dubrovnik Fieldwork (site visit and workshops). Spring Term: Vertical Studio. Programme During the winter term, AD1 is going to be supported by the following taught modules: Architectural History and Architectural Technology (AT1) - see attached timetable for specific details. Student portfolio reviews are undertaken at the end of each semester. Formal, summative assessment occurs at the end of semester two.

Themes: Urban History, Croatian Architecture, Building Systems This trip to Dubrovnik is a splendid opportunity to make short films about the city. Students, in groups (9), would need to think about sequencing, framing, story boarding and implementation. Everyone has filming ‘latent’ capacities on their mobile phones and cameras, so no special technology is required. This process will help them to view the city in a different way.

‘I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies’. Le Corbusier

Preliminary sketch of Istanbul’s silhouette from the sea by Le Corbusier

Towards a critical and essential drawing: The point is not to draw pleasing looking perspective sketches, but to use your drawing to interrogate architectural and urban spaces. Finding a topic: Concentrate on using your sketch book to observe things which are relevant to your current studio project: Light, material, scale, material, and inhabitation. How do people occupy public and domestic spaces? The key figure interrogates the city from the seascape, the congested city of Istanbul offer a perfect amalgam between its topography and buildings. As result Le Corbusier fused the primal features of this cityscape: the fabric follows the geomorphological contour of Istanbul. Certainly it would be impossible to draw this outstanding sketch without a synchronised eye-to-hand coordination. Architectural sketchers do capture the space in motion, they are non-stationary observers. Use drawing to analyse light and shadows; forms; depth and spatial sequences; scales (urban and domestic ones); landscapes and greenery; flows and circulation; connections; and frames. Apart from your sketches, you will work in teams to investigate different facets of the city through streets, laneways, squares, pergolas, and so on. You have to study and measure a study are and a compound (plot) as well. Draw accurate plans and sections and details. Partial plans and sections can focus a study on one aspect. Use appropriate detail to the scale of the drawing. We do not expect hardline drawings. Nonetheless it is important to scan and represent the physical realm as complete as possible, so you can better understand the cognitive and sensorial experience holistically. Thus it is important to get proportions and ratios precise. Make ideograms to explore and represent concepts. Essential reading: ‘Voyage D’Orient Carnets’ by Le Corbusier. Phaidon Press; English Ed edition (June 24, 2002) Year meeting Meet on Monday 6 February at 09.00am, room 0.50 Exhibition: Montage: Pin-up: Pin-down: Jury: Opening:

Every student’s work is going to be displayed, inclusive tutor’s work. We will provide one frame per students. Group work will be freely displayed in A1 foam board; you have to select high quality pieces. The Sketchbook exercise consists on an individual and group event. It will culminate in an exhibition curated and erected by the students on Monday 06 February. The montage will commence at 11.00 and finalise at 15.00 (inclusive pin-up). You will have few hour to proceed, select, edit and frame your individual sketch work and also compose your on-site group work. The official launch will occur at 16.00 Mounting the exhibition Regarding the individual work, we have at our disposal 160 A4 clip frames: two for each student and tutors. You will have to scan or photocopy from your sketch book. Regarding your group work, select yourselves key plans, sections and various schemes or diagrams that refer to the study area and immediate site. You can also incorporate images in motion. Choose with the help of fellow students two illustrations from your sketch book that represent something that you wish to take forward into your design work this term. These chosen images might not be the ‘best’ but contain the essential element of your potential design. These reveal the primal aspects of your ‘proto-design’. It means ‘best’ as most interesting and relevant. You could select yourselves plans, sections and any diagrams. Judgement and awards From 15.00 to 16.00 Juliet, Sam, Cristian and our guest Prof Simon Unwin will judge exemplary student works. We will nominee the best individual and group drawings.

Key Independent Cinemas in the UK Useful link: http://www.cinema-theatre.org.uk/listed.htm The Tyneside Newcastle upon Tyne The original 1930s newsreel screen still functions in the magnificent art deco auditorium, and you can bring in a cocktail from the circle bar for company and watch mainstream and arthouse films from leather sofas. The Digital Lounge masquerades as a private living ¬room with sofas drawn up round the big screen; for snugness there’s the Roxy, while the Elektra does stadium-like magnitude. The 1930s tea room remains intact. You can buy your tickets along with your wine at the bar to save on queuing. Courses on cinematic themes, including filmmaking, are ¬ongoing in the on-site studios. 10 Pilgrim St, Newcastle upon Tyne ¬(tynesidecinema. co.uk, 0845 217 9909) http://www.fletcherpriest.com/ tyneside-cinema1/architecture/leisure/ The Electric Birmingham This is one of the oldest working cinemas in the UK. It focuses on art films and the more intelligent block-busters and if your concentration needs a prod you can text a waiter to bring a glass of absinthe (one of the nation’s only absinthe fountains survives here) to your sofa seat. Feed off olives, scones and handmade chocolates from the art deco bar. You can hire a room to show a film of your choice, and the in-house orchestra plays along live to a screening a handful of times a year. Station Street, Birmingham (theelectric.co.uk, 0121-643 7879) The Broadway Nottingham A startling, glass-fronted palace with a programme of old and new, quirky and mainstream across its four screens. Cinema professionals are occasionally brought in to introduce a film, and there are special screenings for older people, people with autism and parents with infants. Paul Smith designed one of the revamped auditoriums, adding funky striped sofa seats where you can down the in-house beer (Broadway Reel Ale) and delicacies imported from the cafe. Broad Street, Nottingham (broadway.org.uk, 0115 952 6611)


The Cornerhouse Manchester As much a cultural forum as a cinema, the Cornerhouse shows what artistic audacity can do to an old furniture shop. With Helen Mirren and Damien Hirst among the patrons, it was established as a charitable trust in 1985 and houses three art galleries, three cinemas, a cafe and bookshop bar. The idea is to mingle filmmakers, artists and audiences to -debate ideas. The focus is on independent films, but you’re as likely to taste culture in the cafe, which is beloved of pop groupies and emerging bands. Oxford Street, Manchester (cornerhouse.org, 0161-200 1500

The Cameo Edinburgh The stately opulence is more opera house than cinema – the interior was restored to its original 1914 glory in the 1980s, while the bar is defiantly 21st century, with leather sofas and a lengthy cocktail menu (you can take your glass into the auditorium with you). Programmes, spread over three screens, tend to be a tour through ¬cinematic history, from vintage classics, through foreign-language films, documentaries, arty stuff and current hits. Home Street, Edinburgh (www.picturehouses.co.uk, 0871 704 2052)

Cube Microplex Bristol Film It is only part of the Cube’s -function. Founded as a notfor-profit co-operative in 1998 by a couple of stilt walkers and two colleagues, it is an experiment in wild music, cult and mainstream film screenings, off-the-wall exhibitions, festivals and -burlesque. “A pig bag” is how it -describes its programmes. The building began as theatre for amateur dramatics and the old stage is still well trodden, often with the big screen being used as a back drop.

WEEK 7 Cinema Architecture: Kinetic Tectonic Group & Individual 27 Feb – 2 March 2012 Module leader: Prof. Peter Salter Module leader: Prof. Peter Salter (PS) BSc1 tutor (term two): Sam Clark (SC), studio support Monday, Thursday and Friday Film and Architecture “Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theatre” by Roman Polanski Something I find very interesting is how closely the process of making a film relates to designing and making buildings. How similar are the two disciplines both in terms of concept and realisation? Film is usually a shorter process (but you can’t edit a building): We can redo but never undo buildings whilst in movies can always ‘rewind’? We can identify similar aspects in Film and Architecture: 1. Sequencing: The order in which a film/ story is conveyed to its audience. In architecture this can be seen as the experiential movement of a person through a building and how they might perceive a building as a result of this ‘journey’. 2. Framing: Many cinematographic techniques have been developed on how the scene is shot: long frame, close up, bird’s eye view, worm’s view. All these techniques can be applied in the same way to views inside and outside a building. 3. Story Boarding: This is about mapping out how a sequence of events will take place. You may not shoot the story sequentially in the way it will be viewed once it has been edited, but story boarding will allow the director to plan and to direct the film. In the same way designing a building is not always a linear sequence but something that has to be planned, chopped and changed before becoming a coherent final product. 4. Implementation: Having done the story boarding/ planning, the director will then have to ‘direct’ the crew and actors. This is in many ways like an architect managing a team of consultants and contractor. Good communication through drawings is essential to the smooth co-ordination of a project and successful teamwork. Period Monday 27 Tuesday 28 Wednesday 29 Thursday 01 Friday 02

Cinema Architecture - Cinémathèque Dubrovnik Architectural Programme The module aims to explore parallel approaches to the conceptualisation and composition of place, space, time, materiality and narrative in cinematographic and architectural practices. Beyond drawing useful implications for design, films and buildings can be read and designed as ‘assemblages’ not directed to the formal expression of meaning, but to the framing of strategic and enabling conditions of emergent sense, realised within the tectonic and material conditions of the cinematic and the architectural as such. The Cinémathèque is a compact cinema club situated in the old city of Dubrovnik. It is an intimate and low-tech space restricted to one main staircase. In order to respond properly to the immediate surroundings, the film house is going to have up to 3 storeys. Student will design this building under the principles of simplicity, flexibility a playful game of double and triple heights. It is all about cubic meters rather that square meters. The height of the Cinémathèque’s front has to response harmoniously according to the cultural, urban and architectural streetscape. No car park and services are required. Up to 70% of the plot might be covered. The film house’s design has to consider an inner patio for cross ventilation and natural lighting and outdoor activities. The essential programme consists of: - Indoor Cinema w/ 36 seats (double or triple height) - Courtyard - Foyer (double or triple height) - Cafe bar (double height) - Archive centre (double height) - Toilets - Roof terraces - Central vertical circulation (one staircase)


A. Essential Spaces Indoor Cinema The main cinema room will have a seated capacity of around 100 with space for wheelchairs, and will feature digital projectors and surround sound (double or triple height). The cinema will also act as a multimedia performance area. Courtyard Due to the climatic and cultural conditions of the building, the building has to have an uncovered space. Despite it should provide natural ventilation and lighting to educational and social rooms, it might be occupied as an open air cinema or exhibition at night, preferably during summertime. Foyer The foyer has to contain the ticketing and info box. It is connected with the café bar. It performs as the main spatial distributor (double or triple height). Cafe bar The cafe bar will offer a range of food and drink, with free Internet access and Wi Fi (double height). Archive centre The centre is part of the Cinémathèque building and have one office, one store and one filing rooms. It contains the largest archives of films, movie documents and film-related objects of Dubrovnik city and the region of Dalmatia. (double height). Toilets The allocation of public toilets (2) should be located close to the cafe bar, foyer and cinema room (single height).


Roof terraces The Cinémathèque Dubrovnik should offer the occupancy of some roofs to contemplate the roofscape and seascape of Dubrovnik and also offer open air visual projections for a reduced audience. Circulation The vertical circulation consists of one staircase.

B. Additional Spaces Apart from the basic programme, your Cinémathèque should include one of the following supplementary facilities in the design development: 1. Recording studio The recording studio will include live rooms (2) suitable for recording a variety of groups and bands, and a control room kitted out with the latest digital recording equipment (single or double height). 2. Rehearsal areas The Cinémathèque Dubrovnik will have 3 areas for a range of rehearsal uses including bands, DJs and drama groups. These rooms will make it suitable for dance groups too (single or double height). 3. Multimedia production suite A well specified multimedia production suite will be provided for film, TV, web design, animation, digital arts and music production (single or double height). 4. Education facilities The Cinémathèque Dubrovnik has been designed with education in mind: the cinema can be used as a lecture theatre, the recording studio has a large control room to accommodate music technology students. The multimedia suite is suitable for training and there is a dedicated 20 seat teaching room - 2nd cinema screen (double height).
