  • Aarchitecture 33 Consider Architecture in a Sensual Form
    AArchitecture 33 Consider architecture in a sensual form – a form made to seduce you, a form that is not concerned with physicality but potential. A form that arouses you from mere expectation. This is the pleasure of architecture and the architecture of desire. For this issue, AArchitecture presents the position of desire from within the blurred realms of art and architecture. Architecture historian Adrian Forty describes human desire as ‘a single idea, which comes across as so familiar that we find ourselves supposing it to be exactly what we ourselves had always thought’.→ 1 This suggests that with desirability comes intention. It takes a sense of feeling or experience to replicate a particular allegory within an object, building or artefact. Desire In ‘The Pleasure of Architecture’, Bernard Tschumi discusses the idea of pleasure through the 1951 filmA Streetcar Named Desire, writing that ‘desire was never seen. Yet it remained constant’. He characterises the presence of desire in this film as ‘the movement toward something constantly missing, toward absence. Each setting, each fragment, was aimed at seduction but always dissolved at the moment it was approached’. → 2 Tschumi is saying that the very essence of desire is that which cannot be attained. ‘To desire’ is to want or to anticipate, and therefore the moment of satisfaction is also the termination of desire. The ‘architecture of desire’ must then be a choreographed apparatus for anticipation, and the architect or artist becomes the erotic curator. In this issue Penelope Haralambidou writes about her analysis of Marcel Duchamp and her depiction of the architecture of desire through his work and her own drawing technique.

Rabboh1,* Ali A. Elmansory1 1Canadian international college, Al Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. Abstract The Arab architectural identity is characterized by the originality of the various Arab cultures. Islamic culture is what makes Arab societies unique and it is what inspired Arab architecture. Consequently, the Arab architecture encounters contemporary challenges. If modern architectural trends influenced Arab civilization, it could then obliterate its identity over the years. Moreover, positively interacting with modern architectural trends must take place rather than negative interactions. The aforementioned reasons leave this phenomenon the subject of discus- sion and research and thus the lack of update and development of the vocabulary of Arab architecture. The proposed study discusses the problem of the correlation of deconstructive architecture with the architectural and Arabic identity through the end of the 20th century until 2017. In order to arrive at the definition of the philosophy of deconstruction architecture and the appropriate relationship between it and the Arab architectural identity, the study utilizes a qualitative descriptive methodology that tries to give a generic image of philosophy and characteristics. Deconstruction architecture attempts to link the positive aspects of architecture and Arab identity through the analysis of the frameworks of this philosophy of particular architectural works of various architects who adopt this philosophy of architecture.

  • Bernard Tschumi's Conception of Architecture
    Charitonidou M. Simultaneously Space and Event: Bernard Tschumi’s Conception of Architecture. ARENA Journal of Architectural Research. 2020; 5(1): 5. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/ajar.250 HUMANITIES ESSAY Simultaneously Space and Event: Bernard Tschumi’s Conception of Architecture Marianna Charitonidou ETH Zürich, CH [email protected] This essay examines the way in which Bernard Tschumi understood and discussed the concept of space during the 1970s, interpreting it in conjunction with his relationship with the so-called ‘London Conceptualists’ whose concern was to embrace spatial experience. Tschumi’s exchanges with the conceptual and performance art scene in London are pivotal for understanding his conception of space at the time. Special attention is hence paid to a number of exhibitions that epitomized the cross-fertilisation between architecture and art, such as ‘A Space: A Thousand Words’ held at the Royal College of Art in 1975 and co-curated by Bernard Tschumi and RoseLee Goldberg. The importance of this exhibition for comprehending the role of space in Tschumi’s thought lies in the fact that it aimed ‘[t]o reveal a change in attitudes towards the theories and the language of space’, and thus to reinforce the contact of architecture with the very reality of spatial experience. The essay examines the evolution of Tschumi’s concerns about spatial praxis, addressing core issues of his 1970s pedagogical and design practice. Particular emphasis is placed upon his teaching strategies at the Architectural Association (AA) in London, and on an ensemble of projects on which he worked during his first forays in the United States of America such as The Manhattan Transcripts, The Screenplays and The 20th Century Follies.

  • 1 John Biln This Essay Considers the Significance of a Body of Early Work
    L INES OF E NCOUNTER John Biln This is an unpublished combination of two articles which appeared separately in print form. Biln, John. "Translating Tactility.” Azero 1 (1998); Biln, John. "Lines of Encounter.” In Ben van Berkel: Mobile Forces, edited by Kristin Feireiss. Berlin: Ernst and Sohn, 1994. This essay considers the significance of a body of early work by the Dutch architectural firm of Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, known now as UN Studio. Their design program is positioned squarely within the complex and shifting field of contemporary urban culture. Here, the architectural work is subject to conflicting and mutable economic, social, regulatory, technical, and programmatic demands. Van Berkel and Bos acknowledge that architectural works can no longer claim any sweeping powers to enact social change. Although architects cannot be entirely sure of the social effects their works may produce, Van Berkel and Bos neither despair over lost visions of social effect, nor appear willing to abandon a direct engagement with the various human uses, activities and practices that situate the architectural object. In part, their design program derives from a critique of the apparent unwillingness within architectural culture to seriously address human activity and lived experience. The work of Van Berkel and Bos suggests that the power of architecture lies in very real, but perhaps necessarily unstable, social impacts of the architectural object. The investigative agenda set out by Van Berkel and Bos – firmly rooted in form-making – begins to open a space for reconceiving the relationships, and related design strategies, by which architectural forms and social practices may once again be linked.

  • Appraisal of the Works of Bernard Tschumi Riya Paul 4Th Year (LSAD) Lovely Professional University, Punjab
    Appraisal of the works of Bernard Tschumi Riya Paul 4th Year (LSAD) Lovely Professional University, Punjab Abstract: "Any relationship between a building and its users is one of violence, for any use means the intrusion of a human body into a given space, the intrusion of one order into another." Tschumi in Architecture and Disjunction This paper discusses the works of Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi, commonly associated with deconstructivism –on the basis of his philosophies and presents a general analysis of the role of concept, context and content in architecture. This paper also looks in detail, at the role played by Tschumi in overcoming the site constraints by infusing them in the concept of the buildings designed by him. Two projects have been selected under the similar approach for deeper analysis to get a better understanding of his thinking. Keywords: Bernard, Tschumi, deconstruction, concept, context, content, museum, Athens, New Acropolis Museum, Museum of African Art, competition, works, Event-Cities 3 1. INTRODUCTION Born in 1944 in Lausanne, Switzerland, Bernard Tschumi comes from a French and Swiss parentage and is the son of the well-known modernist architect, Jean Tschumi. He studied in Paris and at ETH in Zurich, where he received his degree in architecture in 1969. In the 1970s, while he was teaching at the Architectural Association School in London, he came up with a ‘strategy of disjunction’, which was based on his belief that architecture and contemporary culture can be best explained through fragmentation and not through unity. Inspired by the linguistic theories of Jacques Derrida, he began to deconstruct the various elements of architecture.

  • Bernard Tschumi – Six Concepts
    Bernard Tschumi - Six Concepts Excerpt from Architecture and Disjunction CONCEPT I: Technologies of Defamiliarization In the mid-1970s small pockets of resistance began to form as architects in various parts of the world -- England, Austria, the United States, Japan (for the most part, in advanced postindustrial cultures) -- started to take advantage of this condition of fragmentation and superficiality and to turn it against itself. If the prevalent ideology was one of familiarity -- familiarity with known images, derived from 1920s modernism or eighteenth century classicism -- maybe one's role was to defamiliarize. If the new, mediated world echoed and reinforced our dismantled reality, maybe, just maybe, one should take advantage of such dismantling, celebrate fragmentation by celebrating the culture of differences, by accelerating and intensifying the loss of certainty, of center, of history. In culture in general, the world of communication in the last twenty years has certainly helped the expression of a multiplicity of new “angles” on the canonic story, airing the views of women, immigrants, gays, minorities, and various non-Western identities who never sat comfortably within the supposed “community.” In architecture in particular, the notion of defamiliarization was a clear tool. If the design of windows only reflects the superficiality of the skin's decoration, we might very well start to look for a way to do without windows. If the design of pillars reflects the conventionality of a supporting frame, maybe we might get rid of pillars altogether. Although the architects concerned might not profess an inclination towards the exploration of new technologies, such work usually took advantage of contemporary technological developments.
