The Knotted Construct
Selected Student Work:
Matthew Hickey
Kathryn Schaubhut
Beginning with the notion of the body, as a fundamental aspect of the discipline of architecture, the studio was structured as a laboratory of constant exchange and experimentation. Over the span of the semester, students were immersed in a sequence of exercises that allowed for the direct and immediate engagement of the body: eventually moving toward forms of abstract representation of these bodily relations. A series of films, photographic stills, drawings and models, were the means of exploring the above spaces.
Each student began by choosing a partner, in which to literally connect him or herself, for a limited period of time. The method of connection was to be invented by each pair, and served as an initial architectonic component, to be developed in successive exercises. These initial bodily connections were documented and later interpreted in other materials, such as basswood joints, and analytical drawings. These artifacts led to a culmination of primary architectonic relationships, leading to a series of inventive structural and spatial prototypes, capturing the memory of the initial investigations.
