DIFFERENTIAL FA(S)CIALITIES- Florencia
Pita
DEPARTMENT OF THEORETICAL AND APPLIED
AESTHETICS SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY (LTH)
Lund/Sweden
The charge of
the workshop is to extend this notion of differential faciality by developing
and deploying formal strategies that negotiate the desires and demands of the
architectural envelope. This includes the internal demands of "insulation
and immunization" (i.e., security, environmental control, privacy, etc.) ,
the external demands of legibility (i.e. symbolic, iconic, indexical), the internal
desires of atmosphere, mood, & sensation, and the external desires of
representation, posture, & publicity. Rather than formalizing these into a
dichotomous arrangement each project will seek to produce envelopes that
mediate a broad range of things (or
"attachments") into a complex assemblage. This raises an ongoing set
of questions in architecture regarding problems of differentiation; what
constitutes significant difference and how do we achieve it? The class will
focus on a specific set of digital techniques in relation to surface, lines,
volume, and mass that folds in information from a range of requirements such as
program, site, context, structure, light & ventilation, circulation, etc.
