The slatted wooden second skin was created to pay tribute the wooden structures the Romans built during the battle’s era. The wooden skin also acts as a brise-soleil, filtering light as it enters the glass volume and casting patterned shadows throughout the visitor center.https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/bcs/1242/thumbnail.jp

Seis conceitos

Trata das questões que envolvem a arquitetura contemporânea e o modo como pode permanecer meio para exploração de novos territórios e para produção de novo conhecimento em um mundo estetizado e midiático, sem se limitar a um problema meramente de aparências. Desenvolve seis conceitos referentes à produção arquitetônica contemporânea que procura enfrentar esse desafio – desfamiliarização, choque, desestruturação, sobreposição, cruzamento de programas e turning point – defendendo o papel da arquitetura de proporcionar condições capazes de criar uma nova cidade e novas relações entre espaços e eventos.

The Scarlet Letter: A critical review

Nathaniel Hawthorn’s 19th century romance The Scarlet Letter centres on the simple transgression of adultery and its social consequences. Hawthorn’s narrative and story-telling skill, however, is far from simple; the author manages to subtly and cleverly set the tale within a framework of other transgressions. Ideas of space and other social constructions such including language and belief systems are tested and subverted in this description of a 17th century Puritan settlement. In this paper David Littlefield and Rachel Sara set out the transgressive qualities of this classic American text, putting it into the context of the theme Body + Space and demonstrating how the book pre-figures much 20th century thinking on the subject

Exposing the unconscious through the para-architectural photo-essay and prose

Para-architecture as a method of design exploits the creative potential within interdisciplinary practices such as philosophy, sculpture, cartoons, as a supplement to conventional design methodologies. This photo essay expands upon such methods originally highlighted within Bernard Tschumi’s Manhattan Transcripts (1976), in a parallel to unconscious principles of psychoanalytic “site-writing”, as proposed by Jane Rendell. Responding to the Hepworth Wakefield, United Kingdom, as the architectural object, photography and intuitive prose are explored as para-architectural tools of interrogation. Through an original series of photographs and developed prose, a diagnosis and analysis takes place – harnessing the potential of utilizing para-architectural methods to explore the unconscious of cultural architectural interventions. The future potential in subscribing to para-architectural inquiry affords for design ideologies and pedagogy within the discipline to advance the dimensions of prescriptive architecture; encouraging creative responses, whilst also considering the unseen cognitive burdens architecture often places onto communities, cultures, and cities.N/
