Om emnet
  • How to embody history within our time?
  • How do we define an individual position as architects in relation to the history of architecture?

Studio Position’s pedagogical approach aims towards a radical understanding of architecture through a critical approach to the creation of architecture – radical understood as asking new questions, thereby expanding the realm of architectural discourse with regard to contemporary philosophical positions.

To be radical requires the critical thinking or rethinking of what something is, and what made it what it is. With this aim, the studio engages with new ontologies and the ways they can be made operational and manifested in architecture, in order to take care of and renew building knowledge, social structures, and contemporary theory.

The studio aims to deconstruct architectural and social norms – and to develop and renew architecture through the critical study of selected case studies.  Through a radical approach it is possible to reach a renewed and holistic understanding of architecture in relation to culture, by building on technical, functional, social and sensual aspects to reform the way architecture is understood and made.

Structure
Based on subjective analyses, the students are asked to position themselves in relation to architectural qualities in the given case-studies (existing buildings) through a semester project and in a continuous written reflection to be discussed in plenum.
With these starting positions, the semester is divided in two main parts; 1. WORK; Architectural design, and part 2. REFLECTION; workshops, discussions, written reflections.

Part 1. is subdivided into three phases where the students work towards an architectural project:

  1. Framing an architectural concept
  2. Imagining a life (scale, materiality, activity, accessibility, structure)
  3. An architectural project

 

Læringsutbytte

The students will develop skills based on:

  • work based, and theoretical research
  • practice knowledge through case studies
  • translation between concepts and architectural practice
  • material knowledge
  • artistic creativity and critical and innovative thinking
  • ability to discuss architecture in relation to a wider cultural discourse, including historical, philosophical, ethical, theoretical, social, and architectural knowledge.
