Part II
Based on the line of inquiry continuing from last term, the goal of this studio is to emerge with a comprehensive design of a sensing building. In my case I will be working with the nature of vibration and its material consequences. The objective is to bring the ideas of last term into the context understanding the consequences of as a building. I will be closely examining material connections of wire to wire, or to steel bars, etc. Through adding and subtracting materials and details filling the space of the silo. The studio will also combine a comprehensive technical aspect.
Major Objectives:
1. Responsiveness and Interactivity
-Starting to explore the question of responsiveness at several levels, in which something has its own behavior. Buildings have systems that not only seem life-like, but also respond to activities of life. This implies a complex set of behaviors including place, social program and temporality.
What is it going to do?
What is the significance?
What is its purpose?
How do people behave?
How does it become an institution i.e. demands interaction with the public and is imbedded in the public sphere.
4 Steps
Material consequence of vibration, historical background, examples of work that work with this consequence, material expression and something that has sensing to it.
Step 1: Build Framework and Substrate
The site: Montreal Silos
Framework/Substrate: 1/8" Steel Cable in tension and 3/4" bent steel flat bar into rings delineating silo dimensions.
Step 2: Program
Looking at the event state of what interactivity is going to be about, ie. wireless networks in the Black Box to establish program a developed building elaboration to bring things into focus and architectural.
