PRIMARY IDEAS AND CONCEPTS
PLACEMAKING
environment
dictated by the user
Spirit of Place
Thoreau (1845) states that the highest form of art are those that affect the quality of man's everyday life, including its little detail.
Andrei: What kind of methodology must be done to assure active participation between the architect, the user, and the ever-growing influence of technology? How can they synergize effectively?
Kobler (2016) quotes Renzo Piano's statement that one of the greatest beauties of architecture is that each time it is like life starting all over again - a metabolism of experience.
Users create an emotional and psychological attachment to the spaces, creating a memory that reminds them of a certain point in their time.
Wright's philosophy of 'organic' architecture (1970) implies a harmonious relationship between site and structure.
A structure must be respectful of the site - it must not feel out of place.
Poetics of Architecture
map out the effects of structures culturally through flowcharts
data (inputs/outputs)
a change in one aspect can affect other aspects
Diego: Will people react differently to an algorithmically designed structure from a naturally designed one? Can people tell the difference? Will it affect their perception of the space?
Ria: Can these aspects and their relationship to each other be translated to a formula?
Koolhaas (1995) in S,M,L,XL explores how the cultural influences of an area can influence the architecture and how it can be used. While the forms are usually unique and stand out, through intrinsic placemaking and abstraction he is able to make good designs.
Diego: we always see design processes as creative outputs, but in reality they are factors and data in design concepts out. Why not a study into making a data driven study of prominent architects and how in a flow-chart data driven pattern the qualitative can be expressed as quantitative factors for the future.
data in, response out
Diego: Perhaps a parametric program that uses qualitative factors instead of the quantitative as a method of exploring a new methodology to the design process?
PERCEPTIONS OF SPACE
Culture and psychology
Space always considers the needs of the users. Le Corbusier (1923) states that form follows function, an idea that has ever since guided the designing of spaces.
A collectiion of user needs expand to a community-wide response (Urban Planning)
Maser (2000) emphasizes the role of natural and human diversity in sustainable land use planning through eco-efficient planning processes.
Ganis (2015) explains Milgram's small world experiment as an important theory in understanding the connection of each user with one another and how each take part in each other's life.
relationships between users exist in the designed world
Gab: Are user needs actually addressed in all instances of new architectures? How often do we see out-of-context structures in our local setting?
contetually appropriate architecture
Andrei: The coping mechanism of Filipinos to Metro Manila's current urban setup includes the rise of Multi-use development areas such as Eastwood or Bonifacio Global City, satisfying the financial, creative and business sector. If a solution such as this exist, what kind of urban planning can satisfy the agricultural and fisheries sector?
Augustin (2009) stated how the littlest of details within the space would heavily impact the user's perception of comforatbility and sense of place
similar sentiments
Patterns in the environment or field where man is found affects his actions (Lewin, 1936).
similar trend
Historically tied and culturally responsive
De Botton (2006) The architecture of happiness explores this through historical anecdotes, literary abstraction and a reflection of the self into architecture. **
Diego: A study like this but rooted in examples in the Philippines?
This changes over time, but the same trends can still exist and persist.
Caruncho (2012) explains Manosa's architecture as a modern rendition to the vernacular Bahay Kubo symbolizing the impact of culture and tradition to respond to sustainability issues.
PARAMETRIC DESIGN
economic
A progressive tool helpful in architectural education
A Technological tool for form-finding spaces through effective user response
It stems from the consideration and analysis of different natural, socio-psychological factors
the core nature of parametric design, data driven
two types of data gathering
Ingels (2017) BIG is a big user of parametric design. They respond heavily to quantitative factors and use that to make an impact on the qualitative factors.
BiG uses BIM modelling and grasshopper scripts
Heavy research attitude gained from Ingels' time under Rem Koolhaas
BIG designs are usually geometric and sleek in nature, often looking more computer generated than built by a natural hand.
Diego: Perhaps a study on the feasibility or current status of parametric design in the Philippines, perhaps through quantitative research of existing practices or through a conceptual approach by showing how introducing parametric design could improve, change or affect existing structures in Manila
An architect interprets the algorithim and translates this to design
Sustainable development
goes hand in hand with poetics
Gab: What are the factors that must be considered when proposing plans for sustainable architecture and urban planning in the Philippines? What are these considerations when looking at Metro Manila? What architectural solutions can be proposed in the local context?
needs in the long run
emotional connection (cultural)
developed over time
coding
patterns and repitition
computer driven
includes a high level of quantitative data
Mass customization
