[P1] // The Assignment and notes
Climate and architecture
Architecture as an interface between the human body and the environment.
Covering - operational layer between constantly changing environmental conditions
- performative, relational and affective element
Meteorological phenomenon :
[rain] [wind] [sunshine] [thunder] [snow] [frost] [fog]
Relations between conditions and effects, The material and the immaterial
Unravell how the apperance of space is affected trough these relationships
"(...)
One should actually surrond oneself with all kinds of phenomena and
constructions in which universal laws bekome visible. Why do I suggest
this? Because then we can produce, whenever we like, the phenomenon,
which conveys a bodily experience of the correspondence between the
inner and the outer world. (...)"
- Hugo Kükelhaus [1]
"(...) Notations go beyond the visual to engage the invisible aspects of architecture. This includes the phenomenological effects of light, shadow, and transparency; sound smell or temprature, but also - and pherhaps more significantly - program, event and sosial space. Notations are not pictures or icons. They do not so much describe or represent individual objects, as they specify internal structure and relationships among the parts. Inasmuch as the use of notation signals a shift away from the object and towards the syntatic. it might open up the possibility of a rigorous, yet non-reductive abstraction. The use of notation marks a shift from demarcated object to extended field. (...)"

" (...) As a creative practice, mapping precipitates its most productive effects through the finding that is also a founding; its argency lies in neither reproduction nor imposition but rather in uncovering realities previously unseen or unimagined, even across seemingly exhausted grounds. Thus, mapping unfold potential; it re-makes territory over and over again, each new and diverse consequences. Not all maps accomplish this, however; some simply reproduce what is all ready known. These are more 'tracings' than maps, delineating patterns but revealling nothing new. (...)"
