Abstract

Today, architecture is primarily consumed through interfaces like Instagram, on-line journals, websites, video games and print publications. This is in part due to the fixed geographical position of architecture. Images allow architecture to be distributed to a broader audience. However, images also represent a problematic disembodiment of the built environment. The complicated relationship between architecture and its image is explored in the first section of this paper, Mnemosyne Field through an interrogation of Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas. The second section of this paper, Atlas Materia investigates material qualities as conveyors of architectural identity through fieldwork. The material adjacencies and observational imperfections of fieldwork result in an equivocal architectural experience that takes place at the intersection of a city’s physical qualities and the phenomenological response they produce. This paper describes the pedagogical outcome of sensorial mapping strategies that provided a visual and tactile representation of the city of Buffalo, New York. Based on the experience of material properties, the ultimate objective of Atlas Materia is to help establish a link between phenomenology of perception and urban spaces through a material-centered strategy.

《材料地图集:材料城的实地工作经验》

如今，建筑主要通过Instagram、在线期刊、网站、视频游戏和印刷出版物等界面消费。这在一定程度上是由于建筑的固定地理位置。图像可以将架构分发给更广泛的受众。然而，图像也代表了建筑环境的一个有问题的实体。在本文的第一节《Mnemosyne场》中，通过对阿比·沃堡的《Mnemosyne地图集》的询问，探讨了建筑与其图像之间的复杂关系。本文的第二部分，Atlas material通过实地调查，研究了作为建筑身份传递者的材料质量。实地考察的物质邻接和观察缺陷导致了一种模棱两可的建筑体验，这种体验发生在城市的物理品质及其产生的现象学反应的交叉点上。本文描述了感官映射策略的教学结果，该策略提供了纽约州布法罗市的视觉和触觉表现。基于材料属性的经验，Atlas material的最终目标是通过以材料为中心的策略，帮助建立感知现象学与城市空间之间的联系。

期刊介绍： ZARCH adopts a double perspective. Firstly, a global vision, that is international, although with its headquarters in our university and in the Spanish and European sphere, which implies coming to terms that most of the contributions are published in English, even though it seems compatible with a special attention to the Latin languages, not only in Spanish but also in French, Italian, Portuguese and others. Secondly, an interdisciplinary, transversal approximation with integrating visions, starting from the architectural field but open to other disciplines according with the changing limits and situations that today characterize the architecture field and urban studies. This leads us to the acceptance of close disciplines, from social sciences to technical visions, with logic condition of the scientific quality of contributions, previously evaluated by a rigorous system of arbitration. In any case, the Scientific Council''s advice to the magazine, guarantees the rigour and the attention to the standpoints and methodologies more innovative in our fields.
