Lives of Spaces
In working through the proposals each student carried out a series of responses to the question of how to create a new piece of the city. Successive pieces of drawing and models combine, as in a film-based montage.The simultaneous processes of designing a single room for the chosen site and setting out strategic intentions, allowed an instinctive response to the site - attempting to articulate ideas about views, materiality, quality of space and light, while considering how to respond to contemporary needs and provide an armature for future occupation.
Film-based pieces were made to explore in detail the lives of spaces, temporal scales, and to suggest narratives of use contained within the proposals.
"Architecture exists, like cinema, in the dimension of time and movement. One conceives and reads a building in terms of sequences. To erect a building is to predict and seek effects of contrast and linkage through which one passes... In the continuous shot/sequence that a building is, the architect works with cuts and edits, framings and openings... I like to work with a depth of field, reading space in terms of its thickness. Hence the superimposition of different screens, planes legible from obligatory points of passage which are to be found in all my buildings"
Jean Nouvel.
