Bryce Suite – BUILDING MATERIALS – gostujoče predavanje v okviru poletne šole AA Nanoturizem

Vljudno vabljeni na gostujoče predavanje letošnjega mentorja poletne šole AA Visiting School Nanoturizem, Bryce Suite-a.

Predavanje bo potekalo v angleškem jeziku.

Predavanje je zasnovano kot razmislek na izbor izvedenih projektov, nastalih v okviru biroja Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in postavlja tezo, da delo biroja subvertira tradicionalna pojmovanja fizične materialnosti v arhitekturi. V predstavljenih projektih, koncepti, ki utemeljujejo osrednje arhitekturne ideje, ne postanejo le primarna gonilna sila, temveč prevzamejo vlogo ključnega gradbenega materiala. Kaj pomeni graditi z nearhitekturno materijo? Na polovici delavnice nanoturizem bomo razmišljali, kakšna fizična materija ima sposobnost tvoriti prostore izkušnje.

The lecture is a musing on a selection of built projects completed with Diller Scofidio + Renfro, positing that the practice’s work subverts traditional notions of physical materiality in architecture. Within these, concepts that underpin the principal architectural ideas become not only primary motivators, but also assume the role of essential building material. What does it mean to construct with non-architectural matter? At the halfway mark of the Nanotourism workshop, we’ll consider what kind of physical stuff can make up spaces of experience.
