_TOPIC:
Anomalies Innsbruck is part of a series of
international workshops organized by studio Soqotra in which ones we will
research new possibilities for digital design within the current discourse of
the discipline of architecture. This time students will be designing an outdoor
facility, Music Pavilion in the Hofgarten, Innsbruck.
With the arousal of a new architectural
movement in the 90's, along with a new understanding of form, classical
arguments such as proportion, composition or beauty shifted to much more intricate
concepts as aesthetics or genre. The workshop will be researching the possibilities of
new spaces based in the blob as a geometrical ontology. Architects like Greg
Lynn (Embryological House), Friedrich Kiesler (Endless House), Peter Cook
(Kunsthaus Graz) or Antti Lovag (Palais
Bulles) have been exploring the qualities of this specific form. During this
workshop we will explore digital techniques to produce, manipulate and develop
further innovations within this topic.
Classical arguments such proportion,
composition or beauty shifted to much more intricate concepts based on
aesthetics genre. Genre triggers more interesting possibilities for classifying
a category of artistic endeavors having a particular form, content, technique
or the like, than the classical typologies. Design proposals become even more
provocative when the result combine qualities of different genres without
sacrificing its condition to belong indistinctly to both of those primitive
genres. Opposite genres come together to produce novelties in the creation of
new entities which never were combined before. Strange objects which their simply
definition is incongruous because the accumulation of adjectives can't be
pictured.
