Poly-Seasonal Architecture 2:
Horizontal ambiguities
Poly-Seasonal Architecture 2 - Horizontal Ambiguity examines the university as a historically evolved physical space for learning and more generally for intellectual interaction. Universities have long been a cradle of new building types serving better learning, teaching, researching, assembling, celebrating, etc. (library, auditorium, laboratory, mensa, etc.). Digital communication and AI drastically changes the spatial needs of universities. Contemporary spaces of learning tend towards spatial flexibility and programmatic ambiguity. How can architecture contribute to the academic culture of questioning the status quo rather than clinging to architectural types? The university as a campus, though often located within the city, is typically spatially segregated from it. How can ambiguity help to establish new ways of interacting between these specialized places of learning and the city?
Students will use architectural tools and methods to create spatially ambiguous conditions allowing for a complex array of possible uses, interpretation and interactions for learning, both within, and in relation to the city.
Students will start with in-depth research on relevant reference projects, whilst building a skill-set of tools and methods to be applied to their design projects.
The strategies distilled from this research will be applied to the site through adaptation and testing of anticipatory design strategies.
The projects will investigate the topic of horizontal ambiguity and its application for contemporary spaces of learning through structure, skin, materiality, (indoor) topography, light and orientation.
