DAV _ Touch the space, catch the light!
This week we were constructing one very personal space that we can connect to the "membrane" task.
I played with words, colours, shapes, shadows and of course light. I wanted to model the light to create different emotions.
This is the result ... A "light box" full of different shapes and shadows, cosy or maybe not.
I catched the light, didn't I?

Touch the space, catch the light!
DAV / Vis str. connected to ”Invisible space”
26-30. April 2010

Short tasks:
Touch the space!
Fine a -for you- valuable space at BAS (inside or outdoor)
Examine it, look at it different ways and make drawings showing different values, what you have discovered.
Touch it! Show it by a simple action.
Catch the light!
Use the same kind of process as already described.
Catch, capture light you find (preferentially natural light) and show it.
Main task:
Sensual meeting space for 2 persons.
Find your preferred place at the school.
Choose a main kind of activity for the meeting.
Special focus: space qualities like size (narrowness, height, wideness…) light, openness / closeness, materiality and additional important qualities related to the selected activity.
(It is not a matter of decoration but of fundamental spatial qualities.)
Reinforce existing qualities, complement, add or take away, clean, mark… etc.
Show the space, do it visible and demonstrate the use.
Output: Show the real works at reviews - not models.
Main task: Use at least body size, preferentially size related to architecture.
Your process is important as well as the result. By taking part in each others reviews you can learn a lot and help your colleagues. So, it is important that all of you are really active during the whole process, all the week!
Schedule:
Monday: Intro, lecture, questions, start working
Tuesday: Morning meeting, short review, individual talks
Wednesday: Morning meeting, working individually
Thursday: Morning meeting, working individually
Friday: Individual work, 13.15 final review
Please note: Times for the short reviews (in between) can be changed during the course.
We start every morning at 9.15!
Please meet precisely!
You will need some simple equipment to make drawings and maybe for building / constructing like a hammer, nails, screws, marking materials and probably something more. We don´t know yet what. You should be observant for free materials and possibilities in general.
You should expect to work intensively at school all this week.
Friday we keep on until the review is completed.
I will be at BAS available for you every day this week.
Enjoy your work!

Introduction
We see, hear, feel and move through space and the experience and our body is in constant dialogue with the physical form in which we exist. Aware and unaware we constantly register form, texture, scale and movement and in doing so we perceive seen and un-seen architectural intentions and quality in a never ending dialogue with space.
Universal design is a new design concept focusing on physiological diversity and equal rights. Universal design points to the responsibility of the architect to design spaces for all, spaces for participation and social interaction – and spaces for experience! Often functionality is considered the core issue of universal design but in this course we will focus on the senses – vision, hearing, touch and the kinaesthetic senses – and through these discuss the balance between aesthetics, functionality, architectural quality and universal design.
As architects and humans we will look at our potential for inspiring socially sustainable living. We will discuss how to coexist in our complex urban environment, and how to stimulate social solidarities. Social sustainability is the examination of the social processes underlying sustainability: particular, universal and their interdependence.
We will explore the use of our body and our senses in the experience of architecture as well as investigate architecture's invisible details as an enhancing factor for social interaction and bodily awareness.
Studies will be based on universal design theories and methodologies as well as readings on social sustainability, perception, architectural experiences and sensory disabilities. Through 1:1 exercises and collaboration with impaired users we will explore aspects of architectural space which are invisible to the eye.
The semester will take us through 4 phases of studying form and space as facilitator of the meeting between diverse individuals using Universal Design as a design tool to investigate the relation between the individual and the general in architectural design.
