Darmstadt - Frankfurt/M- Stuttgart, Germany

Unit 4 testing the boundaries between public and private space in order to speculate on the expansion of public territory to enable the emergence of social interaction and an extended programme of urban practice.

This workshop operated on both digital and analogue level. Over the last two weeks, we attempt to examine spatial and geometric construct through a topological set of ‘glasses’; exploring property of connectivity and directionality which is outside the language of Euclidian geometry. Through Rhino scripts, we generated variation starting with basic ‘species’; using simple operation like folding / weaving / field bundling / mobius, looking for point of singularity within each successive generation of computational parameters. Students created parametric machine which enable them to examine the topological similarity and differences. Workshop run by Paul Loh & Tobias Schwinn; special thanks to Tobias for his patient and energy!

Diagrams from Research brief 2 conducted in collaboration with Sarah Manning (space syntax/space agency). Students re-examined the circulation and territorial shift of the existing urban structure of E&C as well as the proposed masterplan by MAKE architects. Using existing data and the development framework as the bases of our research, we forecasted, speculated and extrapolated data from the research and translated them into diagrams from which urban strategies are formulated to re-articulate the masterplan.

Special thanks to Sarah for her energy and invaluable input!

]]>Research Brief 1: Spatial Territorieshttp://www.diploma-unit-4.net/event-happening-0809/2008/11/5/research-brief-1-spatial-territories.htmlUnit master2008-11-05T14:24:58Z2008-11-05T14:24:58Z

Images from research brief 1, where students examine public and private territories in Elephant and Castle site. Using both soft and rigid recording techniques, students observe everyday situation and translate these data into maps and diagrams. We will use these spatial research as the bases from which students are to formulate their own design thesis.
