Task Description

In the four-week intro task, students will be working in pairs to produce analysis on selected precedents with augmented representation. A technical package of AR, physical modeling, projection mapping, and rotoscoping will be introduced for the representation of users, flow and time in space. The precedent analysis will focus the concepts and will define a library of agents for use by everyone.

For the final deliverables, groups will need to produce videos where physical models are being augmented or filmed with post-process, with analytical information illustrating certain spatial strategies.



Concept Statement

This semester we will work with a very new understanding of site and program. In the best case, it is typical to loosely define shapes based on areas and position them in terms of adjacencies so that architecture is thought in terms of room plans.

Instead of defining activities with areas, for example in square metersand clear height requirements, we will define activities as duration of movement, for example how slowly someonemoves for a duration of time defining a location. The organization plan is defined by functions arranged adjacent to one another with paths through and between them.

Instead of paths connecting functions, for example with circulation, we will quantify different durations of movement(duration is the distance travelled over time as a method of defining space rather than as static dimensions) by defining agents with modulating velocity.

It is important not to think of stasis and circulation as two modes but insteada continuity.The curriculum this semester will be based on an understanding that program is not areas and adjacencies; program is an algorithm.
