ROOMS AND SCALES OF A CITY

The seminar started with the notion of rooms and scales in the city to introduce the collaboration of the body with its environment. The act of mapping is a human construction that provides an understanding and explanation of this environment, and it has been the very first step to our work.

The following artefacts/models (1) were created to share our comprehension of a set of information that was embedded in the maps. Information was diverse, related to history, art, human existence, sociology, time and space, cultures, and politics. Entering this year was to undertake a process-oriented work, that would create a new realm for developing ways of thinking architecture. The context has been elaborated through our vertical models (2).

These models embed our first intentions for both archives and maps. The 7 resulting models of our groups were then assembled to create a broader set of information to be later extracted through sections and elevations (3).

“ There is perhaps an underlying archaeological process to the archive, by uncovering the documents and work of the past. Yet, as the archaeology of uncovering and exposing is predictably seen as linear, archives often form correspondences that are entwined, and further postitioned in multiple layers that form context, and which resonate within the time and space in which archives are being consulted.”
