Blocks to Blocks
Give a kid blocks, and he'll build a city.
Bjarke Ingles talks greatly about how space can become the narrative. He sites sources such as Legos and Mindcraft as inventive tools that allow people from all walks to create their own world. The special fact here is that, we as architects, get to do this everyday. As Bjarke Ingles put it, "Architects have the possibilities and responsibilities to create the world we want to live in."
The overlap between the Doppler reading and "Worldcraft" lies in the interpretation of space and all the possibilities. In the Doppler reading it's quoted, "...an atmospheric interaction. It foregrounds the belief that both the subject and the object carry and exchange information and energy." And in a way I think Bjarke wants to portray the same thing with his concept of space making.
The 3 images I have chose to include show what I think the overlap of these two concepts can be.

| Habitat from 1967 World Exhibition in Montreal. Bjarke Ingles referenced this structure as an example to "Worldcraft". |

| WW's Intracenter shows how overlap in program can be addressed within a singular space. |

| BIG's diagram for the new Google Headquarters shows this similar idea of multiple spaces within one. |
I think the notion of creating "a world we want to live in" might not always be the best option. With consumerism on the rise the place we want to live in are becoming more and more "disneyfied" Is that the solution?
ReplyDeleteThe atmoshpheric interaction and the exchange of information and energy from both the subject and the object is a refelction of another statement regarding different user understandings and engagements. I think these interactions, all across the board are the past, current, and future "momentary echoes" that give a space their character, their frequency. This is where the social and programmatic focus seems to stem from.
