Untitled Studio


The studio proposes to investigate a territory straddling the work of art, the research prototype and the architectural project. Of particular interest will be the potential of electronic information technologies to affect our perception of architectural space.

To start the semester, each student will identify an information flow typology and document it with an information flow diagram. From there, a physical/electronic model/prototype which demonstrates the information flow in question will be designed and built. We will use information scanning devices such as: magnetic card readers, bar code readers, key boards, image scanners and video cameras; displays including CRT displays, plasmas, LCD and LED displays; and PC computers as processors. Analysis of the model/prototype will determine the potential of its deployment in the architectural project. Subsequent operations which alter the model/prototype will be performed and the information flow diagram, in accordance, modified. This iteration between the model/prototype and information flow diagram with the intent of producing an effect on architectural space will proceed through the first half of the semester and will be presented at the midterm review.

Following the midterm we will analyse a site on Canal Street just west of the West Side Highway. We will briefly look at the urban context and the New York City Zoning Resolution. With this and our information flow diagram developed in the first half of the semester, we will develop a program diagram and a architectural design for the site. We will develop still camera animations to present the project for the final review.

The result of this process is expected to produce effects on architectural space as achieved through the incorporation of electronic information technologies that previously might not have been anticipated.
