    ResearcH JournaL 2016 / VOL 08.02 www.perkinswill.com Crafting Architectural Experiences 03. CRAFTING ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCES: Exploring Memory Places Damineh Pegah Dehnadfar, LEED Green Associate, [email protected] ABSTRACT This article discusses the importance of perception of spaces, and involvement with spaces during the design process. Over the last decade, mapping the relationship of architectural spaces to human experience has become popular as a successful design methodology. The beginning phase of the design process is characterized by perceptual integrity; unfortunately, this integrity often fades away or is even eliminated once the spaces become real and occupied. The availability of advanced visual representation techniques has created a realistic clarity of visual experience in space. However, emphasis on the visual has resulted in the possibility that other sensory modalities will be ig- nored. The goal of the craft of architecture as a profession is to create experiential qualities. If well designed, an architectural space can effectively shape experiences and evoke feelings. This paper focuses on design processes and outlines a series of phenomenological arguments that arise in contemporary architecture. These arguments are presented through literature reviews, theoretical interpretation, and the building case studies that support findings. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the importance of imaginative perception in architecture, and to demonstrate how ideas are developed for the creation of impressive architectural spaces. KEYWORDS: experience, memory, imagination, perception, design process, interstitial 1.0 INTRODUCTION: complete satisfaction in users’ experiences of spaces.

  • Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Breaks Ground for Nancy and Rich Kinder Building
    MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, HOUSTON BREAKS GROUND FOR NANCY AND RICH KINDER BUILDING Houston, TX: June 1, 2017 - The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has broken ground on the Nancy and Rich Kinder building for modern and contemporary art, designed by Steven Holl Architects. The new 164,000-square-foot museum building is shaped by gardens of horizontal porosity and is open on all sides. Seven gardens slice the perimeter, marking points of entry and punctuating the elevations. The largest garden court, at the corner of Bissonnet and Main Street, marks a central entry point on the new Museum of Fine Arts, Houston campus. “This is indeed an exciting day! It's my first groundbreaking in 40 years of practice with the first third of the campus design already built up to the second floor - instead of a parking garage, it's a new Glassell School of the Arts beautifully crafted by a great team. They will build the Kinder Pavilion breaking ground today!” - Steven Holl The Texas sky opens 180°overhead above a luminous canopy covering the new building. Concave curves, imagined from cloud circles, push down on the roof geometry, allowing natural light to slip in with precise measure and quality, perfect for top-lit galleries. The undersides of the curved ceiling become light reflectors, catching and sliding the light across each unique gallery experience. These curved slices of light shape the gallery spaces organically in a unique way related to the organic qualities of the lush vegetation and water characterizing the new campus. Rather than mechanical and repetitive, the light is organic and flowing, like the movement of the galleries.

Titled Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House, the exhibition unites noted architects and landscape architects and is curated by The Olana Partnership with guest co-curator Jane Smith, AIA, of Spacesmith. The exhibition addresses one of the great mysteries at Olana -- the Summer House – and it runs from August 14th through November 13th, 2016 in Olana’s Coachman’s House Gallery. Olana is the 250-acre creation of American landscape artist Frederic Church and exists in the birthplace of America’s first native art movement, the Hudson River School. Considered Frederic Church’s great masterpiece, Olana combines art, architecture, design and conservation ideals. In the 1886 “Plan of Olana,” a detailed blueprint of Church’s vision for his large-scale designed landscape, the plan’s details are largely accurate, yet it contains a structure labeled “Summer House”, which doesn’t exist today. Lacking documentary evidence to demonstrate the design and style of this structure, 21 architects and landscape architects were invited to participate in public interpretation at Olana.

This paper is one of a set of lessons prepared for the Daniel Libeskind, Bela Bartòk, course of “Theory of Architecture” (Faculty of Architecture – Steven Holl, Peter Cook, Ernest “La Sapienza” University of Rome). The didactic aim was to Bloch, golden section present – to students attending the first year of courses – some methods for the beginning stages of design and their applicability to any kind creative work. The brief multimedia hypertext quoted at the end of this paper was carried out in collaboration with the “LaMA” (Laboratorio Multimediale di Architettura) as a test for new educational tools applied to first our “e-learning” experiences. Introduction The analogies, coincidences, affinities and bonds existing between architectural and musical compositions have been the object of research since ancient times. Traveling through the history of this theme is very interesting, especially when it is possible to identify the social and cultural aspects that are interpreted in the different forms of composition: pictorial, poetic, musical and architectural. In this regard, for those who are interested in the study of the ways in which the contemporary architect works, one question appears central: How do projects (often very well known and in some way part of the collective cultural memory) that are explicitly declared to derive from musical pieces, pursue that intent? The academic approach seems to fluctuate between scientific operative methods and an aesthetic method, where a subdivision between the practical and theoretic spheres is still acceptable.

Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/PAJJ_a_00363 by guest on 28 September 2021 The Architectonics of Music Steven Holl A composition is like a house you can walk around in. John Cage usic, like architecture, is an immersive experience—it surrounds you. One can turn away from a painting or a work of sculpture, while music Mand architecture engulf the body in space. The “Architectonics of Music” portfolio includes a selection of four projects that test new architectural languages, formed by the cross-disciplinary link between architecture and music. Tesseracts of Time, the collaboration with the choreographer Jessica Lang, was pro- voked by the fact that architecture and dance are at opposite ends of the spectrum with respect to time: lasting vs. ephemeral, but could merge in a compression of space and time. The music, by composers David Lang, Morton Feldman, John Cage, Iannis Xenakis, and Arvo Pärt, was chosen for its geometric potential. Looking at music composition, the Stretto House, built in Texas in 1992, was created as a direct analogy to Bella Bartók’s distinct division between heavy and light in his work Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste. For this project, I made an equation to explain the condition where sound is to time as light is to space: material 3 sound material 3 light 5 time space Bridging music and architecture can form a very unique and dynamic experience of space. For the design of the new Maggie’s Centre, currently under construction in the historic center of London, the building’s colored glass façade was inspired from neume notation of Medieval chant music of the thirteenth century.

Nowadays, the concept of Feng Shui has gradually been introduced to some western countries. And some experts have found that the traditional Chinese Feng Shui theory is similar to the western concept of sustainable development in many ways (Mak and Ge, 2013). It can be seen from the analysis results of the building cases; the western sustainable design perspective focuses more on the physical characteristics of the building. However, the focus of Chinese Feng Shui is on the exterior and interior of the building space, and the connection between people and the surrounding living environment (Mak and Ge, 2010). Today’s interpretation of Feng Shui principles has incorporated Western concepts of sustainability, but some of these effects are difficult to measure (Mak and Ge, 2010). This situation also shows that if architects can consider the concept of Feng Shui when designing buildings, and combine it with Western sustainable design concepts, it will be conducive to enhancing the development and application of sustainability.
