![]() ![]() Notes for me can build a narrative, retracing themes I previously deal within projects through my experience as an architect. To build an Atlas in that way is a research of experience to construct new meanings. To build an Atlas upon the definition given by Aby Warburg, who employs photos to build her own cognitive process: cut outs, reproductions used to organize a tale, then the charts produced are fixed through a photographic representation which determines an accurate place of the fragments, montages create sequences to be interpreted. SUNCHEON ART PLATFORM – collage on paper 2016 It’s true that in this way I have the possibility to re-organize fragments of reality to build my own Atlas. Taking notes is simultaneously a process of the project and a practice I try to develop in a methodological key. The archive is out of an affection for signs, a fragment, a space, an image striking us more than another, we store it, therefore to images we combine texts, quotes taken from books which are an integral part.Īnnotations aligned one next to the other form an interpretative Atlas of reality. The annotations are the first instrument through which we can put some order within the personal archive. Necessary operations to pose relative questions on a project that only at a later stage can be applied to architecture. Montage is used as an instrument to take note on ideas, produce a narrative strategy through simple operations: multiplying signs, the exchange of scale, reversals, grafts, superimposition and erasure. Structure, form, space, the necessity to use the architectonic shape as an expressive one, are secondary compared to the collected themes. Through his reflections the observer becomes the producer of content. They provide indications, create conditions to reflect upon, they exist as places of debate. Images which are conceived in this manner become models which don’t describe but underline resolute conceptual decisions on specific themes. Ungers tries to simplify the process of building the project, for the same reason I believe it is extremely important to not consider notes as formal references to the project but only as circumstances which invite us to reflect on specific themes, instruments of thought.Ĭoncept fot THE LIMA ART MUSEUM – Preparatory collage A theory as a reading of reality, as a conferring of other meanings to signs and consequently as an understanding of architecture as an instrument that translates theory. Ungers theory is one of the many ways of seeing and knowing the world. His thesis stands in opposition to the functionalism of the period when it was written. ![]() The model is an intellectual structure setting targets for our creative activities, just like the design of model-buildings, model-cities, model-communities, and other model conditions supposedly are setting directions for subsequent actions.Īs a result of images being the focal point of our culture, it’s very important to re-read the words of the German architect. Storing images goes hand in hand with creating images, which are then slowly transformed into something else, or once compared to each other define working models linked to specific themes. This school of thought accompanies the work of every architect. City Metaphors (1982) Oswald Mathias Ungers proposes a way of thinking and projecting through metaphors and analogies produced through images and demonstrates the idea through figures which can be reassembled every time with a project. The imagination creates semiotic links which do not correspond to the existing combination of images we register on a daily base. They create an imaginary which aims to undo the autonomy of the image.
