“As a starting point, it is useful to look at three basic ways in which concept and context may relate.
1.
32-67
Indifference, whereby the idea and
its siting are superbly ignorant of one another—a kind of accidental collage in which both co exist but do not interact.
A
B
Poetic juxtapositions or irresponsible impositions may result.
C
D
2. Reciprocity, whereby the architectural concept and its context interact closely with one another, in a complementary way, so that they seem to merge seamlessly into a single continuous entity.
3. Conflict, whereby the architectural concept is strategically made to clash with its context, in a battle of opposites in which both protagonists may need to 1 negotiate their own survival.”

LIKE ANY OTHER ABSTRACTION, A CONCEPT-FORM LOSES ITS’ AUTONOMY AS SOON AS IT IS POPULATED BY REALITY

Sited in Prague within St. Anna’s church, the OISTAT competition called on entrants to define a type of performance and propose the space to support it.
Through the process of translating context and concept, each proposal is rooted in its’ definition of the site and program.
The task of acting on these distant sites reminds us that the context is still a matter for interpretation.
If the site is remote and our knowledge is limited, what information is valuable and how much research is needed to validate a proposal?
Acknowledging a collective detachment, the following have been further de-contextualized to reveal their explicit and implicit themes.
