Occasional Architecture for the ex Teatro Scribe : open studios in Turin.

Rel. Piergiorgio Tosoni. Politecnico di Torino, Corso di laurea specialistica in Architettura, 2009

Abstract:

Occasional Architecture

Proposals for intermediate states

According to the definition of the Metapolis dictionary, "Performance: does not ask how a form looks like but in what allows. Does not focus on what process was used to make the design but what was capable to generate during this process. Thus, performance changes the focus from essence to effect. The question is not what it is but what it does."

Time as a place:

"To develop the concept of time as place... someone who administers three objects in the territory of just two (...). The juggler is that one who finds a place in time". ("A tempo lexicon". Tempo catalogue, MOMA NY)

On the basis that the concept of time as a place is the one that governs the argument and the project developed here; it is necessary to define -first- what is meant by place, or even better for the architectural space. It is here where the definition of Christian Norberg - Schulz finds its place when he attributes to the architectural space the settlement of the existential space of human being turning this, at the same time, in "a relatively stable system of sensory schemas or images of the surrounding environment." In his book, "Existence, Space and Architecture" refers to the work of Dagoberto Frey, Rudolf Schwarz and Kevin Lynchn, highlighting its importance by referring to the existential space and architectural space specifically, in an effort to "build an intellectual bridge between man and his environment."

The speed of the new technologies that surround us at present; the haste with which we live; the speed in which things begin and end, condemns too many buildings to the oblivion, to the abandon and to the silence. Present at the core of any city, these spaces remain mute, blind and deaf to the urban life, waiting for a change that reinstate them again. This keeps the building passive, in an intermediate time between what it was and what will be. This temporary "in-between", according to the hypothesis projecting, could be taken to use them temporarily and re-insert this spaces to the urban life till now ignored.
