Studio Project: "Porosity"

   
     Following on a previous post regarding the study of wool in terms of porosity, today I will show the process of translating the different models into technical drawings that better demonstrate the object's attributes.
     I will, however, start by showing a more detailed documentation of the exploration of  the material as well as different techniques and later jump on the final three iterations varying in porosity which will in the end be translated into drawings.









The final Iterations and Drawings

"Building, Dwelling, Thinking" Heidegger- Review

Image
     In this essay of Martin Heidegger we manage to get a real glimpse on the context of the time it was written in, as well as Heidegger's own philosophy of life and beliefs. Being one of the most authentic philosophers of the 20th century, Heidegger has pursued his writing on  "Building, Dwelling, Thinking" during the wake of the shortage in housing systems after the WW2. As an existentialist himself, Martin Heidegger has devoted his philosophy to the study of being,  relating it to the relationship between thinking, dwelling and building, which he believed had been severed by the modern world. He goes on through his writings trying to re-teach us the proper way of dwelling .      The essay starts off with an explanation regarding the two-way relationship between building and dwelling. It is regarded that it is a simultaneous means-end interrelation where to build does not necessarily mean to dwell, whereas dwelling is necessarily linked to b...

Space, enclosure, context and technologies Tutors: Nacho Marti and Argyris Angeli Building: Naoshima Port Terminal Architecture office: SANAA Year: 2017 Main materials used: Timber and Fiberglass The aim of this brief was to put emphasis on understanding structure, materials, geometry and spatial qualities by a careful survey and analisys of 19 pa- vilions. In order to fully understand and analyse the assigned pavilion it is necessary to try and reproduce it as a tectonic model as well as translate it into archi- tectural drawings. The first thing to do is research and gather enough infor- mation on the pavilion in order to acquire some base knowladge that will help in organizing all the following steps. After evaluating the best informa- tion (images, drawings, videos, books) it is important to note it down and simplify it into diagrams. The next step is drawing plans, sections and eleva-...

The Memory Theatre of Giulio Camillo ; Renaissance Memory

Image
     Giulio Camillo, born in 1480, was an Italian philosopher best known for his Memory Theatre in the sixteenth century. His fame knew many ups and downs after his death but was reestablished during the 1900s by the British historian Frances Yates in her book on The Art of Memory which opened up new research possibilities in these areas.       The way in which Yates approaches Camillio's Memory Theatre in her book is through his own quotations or through the words of Viglius Zuichemus, a friend of Erasmus. Such a dualism of representation makes reading the book quite interesting, as we are first hand observers of two different schools of thought which divided the Renaissance thought at the time, trying to decipher the byproduct of occult philosophy; The Memory Theatre. On the one hand we have Giulio Camillo, a Hermetist, who tries to construct a physical representation of   the sort of mental memory palaces that had been crucial to ora...
