Beschreibung:
Expanding Design: General
The seminar “Expanding Design” focuses on a wider notion of architectural design, conceptionally as well as methodologically. Art and significant theoretical positions within the humanities are hereby important points of reference. The seminar departs from the influential essay “Sculpture in the Expanded Field” (1979) by art theoretician Rosalind Krauss in order to explore possible expanded dimensions of architecture and gain relational (design) knowledge.
In the seminar, students will experiment with different media and techniques (drawing, photography, film, objects, text) with the aim to broaden their field of (inter)action. Each summer term, a different topic and focus will be introduced at the beginning of the seminar.
(This summer, the seminar will take place in connection to the HafenCity Lectures’ third edition of “Relations.”)
Thematic emphasis SS20
Expanding Design: Interior
This year’s theme of Expanding Design will explore conceptually the notion of the Interior.
Because one thing the current global pandemic reveals the most are our interiors in various aspects.
Just to speak in architectural terms, one emphasis is now shifted towards the interiors of our homes by speaking to more and more people through the cameras of our digital devices.
This means, the façades are now turned outside-in and make our interiors the new facades.
In the Belgian Pavilion of the 14th Architecture Biennale in Venice, the curators decided to focus on Interiors, specifically Belgian Interiors, and presented a systematized catalogue of the architecture of Interiors: “The concept of the interior is fundamental in an chitectural design. Yet there are very few studies that approach it as a separate field of inquiry. Behind the permanence of buildings’ façades, all sorts of transformations, adjustments and modifications are carried out. From this perspective, a study of our interiors provides valuable information about the new challenges to which architectural practice must rise.
Obliging us to counter the notion of modernity as an all-consuming phenomenon, it reveals a vernacular architecture in which modernity itself is being consumed and absorbed.“
(Text taken from www.interieurs-notes-figures.be)
Concerning this aspect, Expanding Design reverses its notion this time and expands towards the “Interior”. By reversing the outside and the inside, we will look at ideas of revealing and excavating an interior in various different aspects. Our discussions and actions will be herewith enhanced through aspects of transgressing borders. This could mean for example, transgressing the border of a house, transgressing objects to reveal their interior or also the transgressing of a body could fall into this category. Specifically interesting hereby is first and
foremost the notion of a border, which relates in architectural terms to a shell or a container or simply a body. There are various interesting examples in architecture, art and theory which will be then discussed accordingly – probably through our web cameras (if possible).
On Tuesday April 21st, we will start at 2:15 pm with the set-up of a Zoom-video conference. We will then check if everything technically works; This will be first and foremost a test. More importantly, I will share with you documents for the introductory reading, the proposed timetable and the exercises.
