The urban “bath house”, “spa” or “water facility” will be a place capable to house leisure, pleasure, health or hygiene, but essentially will be an immersive space to engage water. This artefact (a kind of social condenser) “that promotes the dynamic coexistence of activities and create through their interference unprecedented experiences” (Rem Koolhaas, Content, 2004) will be located in/on/ above an already built urban plot in Switzerland, reprogramming an urban pre-existence. The Studio will operate associating and assembling collections of images, as main design devices and practical working tools in order to articulate and conduct discourses on the projects visually. Beside of the Atlas of images, drawings and models, the use of motion images or video will be promoted as an effective design tool. Professional support for the specific technics will be provided. Additionally, a studio-related seminar week will introduce traditional crafts to enhance refined model making throughout the course. In between a series of six review workshops during the semester, the studio will keep a regular video connection to Santiago de Chile to ensure rich and regular exchange with the guest lecturer. “What my eyes beheld was simultaneous, but what I shall now write down will be successive, because language is successive.” Jorge Luis Borges. The Aleph. "Architecture is always the ultimate realization of intellectual and artistic evolution, the realization of a phase of the economy. The architecture is the end point in the performance of any artistic endeavour, because the architectural creation involves building an environment and establishment of a way of life.

Lernziele 

Students will be encouraged to conceive their projects as laboratories for spaces and environments that might redefine experiences for collective life, stressing current forms of leisure spaces to develop new contexts for social exchange. In order to create such scenarios, the Studio assumes that the spatial experiences of the user –and the memories they generate– result from the articulation of three architectural systems: Relations, Atmospheres and Materials. We are interested in Architecture’s ability to establish “a collective way of life” and, in a more intimate scale, how it relates to sensual experiences, personal affections and to particular spatial memories: ultimately, how the architectural pursue of certain atmospheric qualities conducts personal research on material and building strategies.
