SELF-PRINT ARCH WORKSHOP

900 ALBERT ST. OTTAWA, CANADA

STUDIO 3

TIME: 1 MONTH

COORDINATOR: THI PHUONG-TRÂM NGUYEN

INSTRUCTOR: ERIC ARCHAMBAULT

SOLO PROJECT

An architectural workshop space to make large scale physical test models for students and professionnals alike. The space would be used to study 3d printing more specifically, as inspired by Carleton’s CSALT lab. This Y-shaped building would be built using the same 3d-printing techniques that would be studied in it once finished, which is why its roof resembles a piece of unfinished knit fabric, as if the building was in the process of being made.

The initial plans for the Botanical City envisioned a society that was not human-centric, but instead put the priority on nature and all it contains. Those utopian ideologies occurred over seventy years ago. Presently, the secluded living style and fear of losing the protected reserve has made the citizens beliefs more extreme and the forests they inhabit went from important to almost sacred. Biologists have the privilege of visiting the forests while others may only gaze through their capsule's window. Citizens who are not biologists must remain inside the mountains as a way of protecting the life of the botanicals. The societal hierarchy of this city is based on one's interactions and knowledge on Biology.

A single-room architecture, with energy self-sufficiency, created a capsule. a city, and a Graphic Novella to portray the final presentations and renderings.

PHOTOGRAPHY: JÉRÉMY MCDONALD SET OF 2 INTERACTIVE PROJECTIONS

This installation is composed of two distinct projections one with a ‘passive’ interaction, a reflection of the exhibition space i with an added effect, where viewers leave traces of their passage through space (middle images), as well as one with an ‘active’ interaction, being a motion controlled oscilloscope cube which also doubles as a musical instrument that can be played with both hands. By inviting viewers to manipulate the model, it suggests that the built environment is not a static backdrop for human activity, but rather an active participant. As we move through built spaces, we adapt our behavior to the constraints and opportunities of those spaces. In this sense, our physical environment is not simply a neutral setting for human activity, but rather an active shaper of it.

Part of the Kosmic 2023 "back from the morgue" event, this project is comrised of 5 different live, music-reactive visuals . The theme of the event being "A celebration of the notion of past work, incomplete ideas, failed attempts, and well-received endeavors. It draws precedent from the ‘deaths’ of major movements across time." In this light, we chose to illustrate the litteral construction and destruction of buildings animated to the rythm of the music performance on stage.
