With Detroit as my playground I see unique opportunities to speculate, experiment, and create. As a city ages, it isseen as a procession of phases, and in these phases it must learn new techniques in order to survive. New buildings and ideas can be inserted into the context of the city; old buildings and ideas can be used and injected with new life and energy. Through a series ofexperiments with new techniques and innovations this thesis will attempt to re-consider the way we perceive sound and the way this experience can be enhanced through the interaction with architecture. How can we heighten our senses toward sound orchange the way we traditionally experience sound and how can this influence and ultimately create an architecture? Abuilding can be experienced beyond the simple look ofits facade. it can become acanvas oran instrument for sound. This investigation will address sound as the tool of innovation , seeking to render a relationship between the human experience and architecture. THESIS PAPER I Sound +Architecture 02 Through a series ofexperimentswith new techniques and innovations this thesis will attempt to re-consider the way we perceive sound and the way this experience can be enhanced through the interaction with architecture . Howcan we heighten our senses towa rd sound orchange the way we traditionally experience sound and how can this influence and ultimately create an architecture? A building can be experienced beyond the simple look ofits facade,it can become a canvas or an instrument forsound . This investigation will address sound as the tool of innovation , seeking to render a relationship between the human experience and arch itecture. Sound is a un ique med ium, which travels through air, water, many building materials and the earth '.Asound is percei ved by our ears, felt by our bodies and understood inour minds. The experience of a particular sound can leave us with a sm ile on ourface, a tear in our eye, ora dance inour fee t. This idea of sound has caused me tospeculate about its mysterious qualities that have the potential tocreatean atmosphere, affect our emotions so easily, and cause an experience to be remembe red forever. The question I began wondering about was if this idea of sound could somehow influence an architectural response . Coulda new way ofconsidering sound be a means ofexperiencing and developing a richness in architecture? Could the human experience be enhanced through the interaction with sound and architecture? What else could be learned in the process? Sounds, simply stated , are vibrating particles that create a small change in the atmospheric pressure and can travel great distances. Tiny vibrating particles are forced ina direction causing them to bump into other particles and that particle into the next and soon. Each particle moves only an infinitesimal distance and th en returns to its original position, this distance traveled is called a cycle. The number ofcomplete cycles each particle moves inone second is the frequency of vibration . The ear can detect sounds over awide range of loudness and frequencies" Architecture creates a setting that becomes the mediumforsound to be heard and remembered. As stated by Architect Steen Eiler Rasmussen , in his book "ExperiencingArchitecture", "The architect is a sort oftheatrical producer, the man who plans the setting forour lives. Innumerable circumstances are dependant on the way he arranges thissetting forus. When his intentions succeed, he islike the perfect host who provides every comfort forhisguests so that living with him isa happy experience'." In this instance sound creates a setting and is seen as the place, the THESIS PAPER I Sound +Architecture 03 architecture isonly a backdrop for this event tooccur. The architect must then manipulate this room to create the perfect sound orthe desired sound for that place so that it can be experienced fully and to its utmost potential by all its participants. Once the architecture has been created , the sound can then be controlled and enclosed orconcealed within a space depending on the design and the intent. The architecture becomes a way ofenhancing this experience through precise moves and material selections. The look ofthe space then becomes very important in the design . From the punctures in the wall to the volume of the space to the connections of materials, no detail should be overlooked and no moment is less important than another. Certain materials have qualities that are considered good for absorbing sound and can be used to keep the sound within a room while others are better for reflecting ordirecting sound throughout a particular space. The room can be designed to magnify orincrease the distance sound travels inside a space. The architecture can focus the sound toa specific point, or amplify the sound toward an area in a room. The sound can be scattered throughout a room creating resonance orreverberation , engulfing the room with sound and energy. The space can be designed tolet the sound flow out ofa particular space and into another orthrough the circulation corridor. Th is occurrence of the sound traveling through the building could be a way of progression within a space orthroughout the whole building. Hearing this sound throughout the spaces could create a sense ofintentional or accidental eavesdropping creating a sense ofconnection between all functions and all those within or around the building . Sound isonly limited by distance orinterruption. This idea offers a wide range of unique design possibilities to be explored throughout the process ofexperimentation . Dutch architect Wiel Arets talks about the idea ofexperimentation in architecture,"If surgery is all about 'reparation ,' then architecture is about 'experimentation'." This is the attitude I adopted as I have continued through the process; toexperiment, looking atnew ways tosee the experience, the materials, the body's interaction within the space, to test and re-test. "Arets buildings are instruments which enable the inside and outside world to be quantified and experienced'." There isa blurring of the two worlds with a seamless precision . In determining a program I looked for certain functions that could both incorporate sound into the architecture and celebrate and allow an interaction with the body through this experience in order to enhance it. Two ofthe main program spaces are sound recording studios and dance studios. The recording studios will be a place tocreate and produce sounds or music. They will address spatial opportunities in creating a unique space for this richness of the act of making sounds. While much is known about the acoustics of recording studios and how this has informed an THESIS PAPER I Sound +Arch itecture 04 arch itectural response, I intend toreconsider those momentsin hopes ofenhancing the space through speculation and experimentation with new ideas and innovations. "Architecture is seen as virological ; it operates invisibly as a catalyst of events"." Th is quote from Wiel Arets, speaks of arch itecture asa background for th e human interaction , my studio spaces will bethought of in the same manner. I intend to create these spaces to still accommodate the sounds and the process of recording, but only to look at new means of this production and design. However, I donot want the arch itecture to be an obviousfeature, but toact asa player in the same realm and as a spark to the fu nction (not the fu nction itselt). In looking for a wayto create a space that celebrates the body through these ideas of sound and architecture, I beganto speculate about the movements of ones body(how the body could be mapped through the sound orthe architecture itself, or how the bodycouldleave its impression on a place) . I then incorporated the idea ofdanci ng into the scheme; this could be looked at as one form ofcelebrating the body. As the body moves, its trail could betraced thus creating a mapping . By taking those mappings and overlaying them with sound , we can begin to see another layerof the mapping which is ampl ified by sounds. Perhaps the ground or the wallscould move with a certain rh ythm created by the music and the body's impact with the floorbelow. Each studio, however, shou ld belooked at as separate entities fromthe recording stud io spaces. They should feel lighter, with much more of a transparent nature, not asa heavy concrete, such as is necessary with the recording studios (at times) . These stud ios will have a sense of a translucency, a type of floating light box, creating a skinof sorts with silhouettes of the dancing bod ies within. The light and shadows of this space become veryimportant in creating almost a natural setting or a stage fora performance to beseen orcreated.

He is married and has two children. Arets' work is generally characterized by a minimalistgeometric and austere approach that responds to local contingencies in a flexible way, with Arets explaining:. Subsequently, Arets organized the first European exhibition of Tadao Ando's work. With the decline of industry the city lost most of its status as an industrial area in Limburg and Frits Peutz faded from architectural prominence. As a student Arets undertook extensive research in the archives of Peutz's office, eventually producing the monograph 'F. J Peutz Architekt ' and an accompanying traveling exhibition. While in Japan Arets visited and interviewed several prominent architects including Fumihiko MakiKazuo ShinoharaItsuko Hasegawa and Tadao Andolater publishing these interviews and articles in the Dutch architecture magazine de Architect. All of this was achieved without abandoning for the moment the minimalist expression of an architecture degree zero, derived in part from Sol LeWitt and in part from Tadao Ando.

    Wiel Arets: ‘Ik vond het niet makkelijk om bij mijn huis mijn eigen opdrachtgever te zijn’ door Bernard Hulsman 26 PRO10/06 Lange tijd had het architectenbureau van Wiel Arets alleen een vestiging in Zuid-Limburg, eerst in Heerlen, later in Maastricht. Maar sinds 2003 heeft Wiel Arets architects en associates, zoals het bureau officieel heet, een dependance in Amsterdam, in De Lairessestraat om precies te zijn, niet ver van het Concertgebouw. Arets bureau, dat in 1984 werd opgericht en waarbij Bettina Kraus zich in 1997 als partner voegde, heeft nu dan ook veel werk. Wiel Arets: ‘Ik vond het niet makkelijk om bij mijn huis mijn eigen opdrachtgever te zijn’ door Bernard Hulsman Ook over opdrachten in het verleden heeft Arets Arets begon zijn carrière, als zovele architecten, met kleine opdrachten. Toch beschouwt hij weinig te klagen: zijn oeuvre is indrukwekkend zichzelf niet als een archetypische architect die klein begint en groot eindigt. “Ik zie mezelf en vooral ook divers. Hij ontwierp onder meer niet als een klassieke architect”, zegt Wiel Arets in een ruime kamer op de eerste verdieping politiebureaus in Vaals en Boxtel, een Academie- van het pand in De Lairessestraat. “Dat wil zeggen: als 7-jarig jongetje wilde ik helemaal gebouw en kantoorgebouw in Maastricht, geen architect worden. Ik ging dan ook eerst natuurkunde studeren in Eindhoven. Ik had zoals woontorens in Amsterdam en Rotterdam, een iedereen op tv de landing op de maan gezien en wilde daar op een of andere manier deel van kantoor- en bedrijfsgebouw voor Lensvelt in uitmaken.

    Sketchbook of thoughts Having words, provocative titles, challenging themes, critical analysis and theo- retical considerations are an intrinsic part of architecture according to Arets. Mapping landscapes, portraits and travel impressions are, according to architect Álvaro Siza, the ideal tool to develop acuity of vision. However, Wiel Arets believes that sketching with words is the ideal architect’s tool, enabling him to see and understand. It is not the architect’s artistic pencil that is crucial, but an archi- tectural thinking that develops and reacts to a cultural context is what matters to Arets. It is about the power of knowledge you can develop as architect in dialogue with others; how a meeting with a mayor, a banker, a contractor, a resident, a curator, a philosopher, a colleague architect, a student, an architecture critic, an investor or project developer, drives the way of thinking forward and presents new opportunities in architecture. I have no idea whether Wiel Arets, like the architect Le Corbusier, describes the architect in his passport as a Homme de Lettres (Man of Letters); in any case, Arets’ architecture is about ideas and he writes just as much as he builds. This is why Arets is of the opinion that the crea- tion of architecture magazines, publications and research at architectural insti- tutes such as the Berlage Institute1 and the University of the Arts are an intrinsic 618 part of the profession. 619 If you are prepared to theorise about your work, it means that your work con- tains ideas. Arets believes that architecture without ideas is no Architecture at all, but just building.

  • Revealing a Digital Tectonic Intelligence of Digital Fabrication, A
    revealing a digital tectonic intelligence of digital fabrication a poetics of detail A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture in the School of Architecture and Interior Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning April 2014 Andrew Thomas Glass Bachelor of Science in Architecture Ball State University, 2008 Committee Chairs: Michael McInturf, M. Arch First Member: Aarati Kanekar, Ph. D Advisors: Terry Boling, B. Arch Nick Germann (informal), M. Arch Abstract Digital architecture must transcend its current preoccupation with surface, volume, and form and rise to the tectonic; face the reality that construction is an assemblage of parts and components that have joints, intersections, and details. Let it be poetic. As a reaction against the generic standardization of the architecture- industrial complex, the techniques articulated by Branko Kolarevic, Lisa Iwamoto, and others have done well to explore the spectacle and visual novelty of a digitally fabricated architecture. However, these projects have neglected an underlying tectonic sensibility that understands the reality of 21st century construction and its ability to similarly exploit these contemporary tools and techniques. By a review of precedents that demonstrate exceptional understanding of material, assembly and construction realities, and through intensive material and assembly investigations, a project will be designed and a sample component fabricated that discovers how these techniques can advance an architecture of engagement. Assembly investigations begin with thorough analysis of detailing approaches that have received critical acclaim, particularly by architects at the turn of the 20th century experiencing a similar industrial revolution such as Otto Wagner, Peter Behrens, and Carlo Scarpa, and through the notable text of Marco Frascari, Kenneth Frampton, and Ed Ford.

  • Creating Reality. the Work of Geert Bekaert María Teresa Muñoz
    Creating reality. The work of Geert Bekaert María Teresa Muñoz In her speech at the Critic/all conference at the School of Architecture in Madrid (spring, 2018), the Belgian professor Hilde Heynen referred to one of her first anthologies under the title of Dat is Architectuur (2001); she pointed out that it was written exclusively in Dutch, a minority language to which all her collaborators had to adjust in order to write about the suggested theme:what is Architecture. On the other hand, Hilde Heynen herself wrote an introductory note in her most well-known work Architecture and Modernity (1999, this one already published in English by MIT Press), stating that one of the most important concepts that she would handle in her book -about Mimesis-, derived from an essay on imitation by the critic Geert Bekaert – also of Belgian nationality. However, at no point throughout the development of Heynen’s text does the figure of Bekaert appear, therefore, it is impossible to establish the nature of this connection. Geert Bekaert was born in 1928 in Kortrijk, Belgium, and wrote extensively about architecture throughout his life, mostly in his language (Dutch); his essays have been collected in nine volumes published between 1985 and 2011. That same year – 2011 - five years prior to his decease in 2016, his disciple Christophe Van Gerrewey edited a book, a compilation of texts in English under the title of Rooted in the Real. The following comment refers to this last work. The four parts into which Geert Bekaert’s book is divided in are preceded by an extensive introduction by the editor, written in white typing on a black background, which examines the career of the Belgian critic.

The book will kill the building. That is to say, printing will kill architecture. - Victor Hugo The idea of accumulating everything…of creating a sort of universal archive, the desire to enclose all times, all eras, forms, and styles within a single place, the concept of making all times into one place, and yet a place that is outside time, inaccessible to the wear and tear of the years, according to a plan of almost perpetual and unlimited accumulations within an irremovable place, all this belongs entirely to our modern outlook. Museums and libraries are heterotopias typical of nineteenth-century Western Culture. – Michel Foucault STUDIO STRUCTURE: The Second Core studio poses three challenges for the semester: Who (and how) we envision as our architecture’s subject today? What use might a disappearing institution have for its architecture? And finally, how do we understand and manage disciplinary lineages in an anachronistic time like ours? Each of these issues is meant to prompt different modes of contextualizing and to enable definitions of criteria for a design of a synthetic architectural proposition. The semester is structured in terms of two longer problems that dove tail together, without requiring the students to carry all the lessons of the first shorter exercise into the second longer design problem. The site (an active public transportation node) remains the same for both design problems ensuring that the students’ understanding of the urban context (cultural and formal) builds up over the course of the semester.
