Beschreibung:
towards an anthropocene baukunst_ experimenting polyphonic aesthetics.
In this experimental research and design seminar we will explore and speculate on representations of alternative aesthetics in the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene as new geological epoch can be characterized by three phenomena: latency, clash of scales and entanglement. We will therefore challenge the question on how a new design modus operandi can be developed within this borderless planetary framework of transscalarity and interconnectedness.
How can we interact and design with and within those metabolic manifestation? How can we decode, translate and make tangible this complex web of (latent) entanglements? How can we learn to design and experiment with those latent processes and materialities of a specific space/landscape? Which new aesthetics stem from this hybrid approach ….?
The seminar is thus structured around 3 iterative fragments: discussion & abstraction (literature & artistic practices) // filter & speculation (polyphonic cartographies)// experiments (material experiments)
The spatial focus of the seminar will be Hamburg. We will work with and around 3 existing public spaces, which portray the complexity of the city’s hidden layers and processes, entanglements and metabolic interactions with its attached (planetary) territories.
The results of the seminar will be a collection of design principles and experiments towards this new “art of building”, by working with the revealed complex assemblages, ambivalences and polyphonies of contemporary spatial formations, shining light on speculative spatial atmospheres and hybrid images towards a truly polyphonic city.
