Heylighen","doi":"10.1080/13602365.2021.1959380","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13602365.2021.1959380","url":null,"abstract":"Architects tend to design following their own values and concerns. As such, designing for imaginary users, especially disabled ones, may pose major challenges. Drawing on aspects of focused ethnography, we show how the architect Stéphane Beel’s anticipation of using a wheelchair in the future due to a progressive-regressive disease influences his willingness and ability to empathise with, and design for, wheelchair users. We study a museum building in Belgium that he, as part of a larger design team, helped to restore, renovate, and expand, paying special attention to (wheelchair) accessibility. We rely on interviews, observations, design documents, and two tours guided by Stéphane. Our findings suggest that Stéphane’s ability to empathise with users benefits from his flexible use of his embodied self, and his moving between positions in various design stages. Foregrounding bodily resonances with wheelchair users seems to facilitate incorporating the other as self and reaching affect. At the same time, thinking of the self as other promotes looking at designs through someone else’s eyes. Empathy brought Stéphane to design inclusive environments, not because he has embodied knowledge derived from his use of a wheelchair or his technical knowledge as an architect, but because he feels affected by his own future possibility. Set against indifference, this affect triggers a powerful response in his architecture.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"2 1","pages":"912 - 937"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83668290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a matter of fact, he travels through their pictures no less than through the land they depicted. Their fusion of topography (satisfying learned curiosity) with suffused Stimmung (for an immersive recollection of what usually remained a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of idealised landscapes) returns with a twist in Wilson’s version of a guidebook in which his own experiences as an architect insinuate themselves into the account no less than his watercolours bridge the gap that separates us from our precursors on the road.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"28 1","pages":"769 - 781"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90474280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Responding to Wilson’s characterisation of the Villa Auto projects as ‘type noire’, this article interrogates his drawings in a forensic manner drawing on Ernst Bloch’s ‘A Philosophical View of the Detective Novel’ and Paul Auster’s City of Glass. By doing so, it uncovers how, through a series clues, traces, and red herrings, Wilson situates his persona into his work as he develops his own distinctive architectural language.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"1 1","pages":"639 - 658"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89593950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific account it develops is constructed around the entries Wilson produced for the 1978 and 1988 Shinkenchiku Residential Design Competitions. What makes this a comparison of particular interest is that the competitions, a decade apart, were run under nearly — but not quite — the same brief. The first was set by Peter Cook, who called for projects for a ‘Comfortable House in the Metropolis’. This idea was then taken up for the second by Toyo Ito, although he inflected it with an emphasis on the ephemerality of the physical under the effects of new electronic communication technologies. Drawing on Barthes’s observations, the article argues that — across these years — Wilson’s work moves from an approach grounded in metaphor to a mode that is increasingly ideogrammic, and that this is supported by, and reflected in, the way that his drawings change. Here, I claim, the submarine — allusions to which become prominent in Wilson’s work in the period — comes into focus as the key transitional device. Importantly, Wilson’s submarine is not a tool for plumbing depth conditions; rather, it is quite the opposite, insofar as it acts as a figurative cipher, an ideogram in its own right, for the act of screening out relations and drying up metaphoric fluidity. In its conclusion, the article brings the 1988 project into contact with earlier ideogrammic experiments within modernity, including the drawings of Henri Michaux and the reflections of Sergei Eisenstein on cinematic montage and compound ideograms.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"101 1","pages":"688 - 709"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79158242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dorrian","doi":"10.1080/13602365.2021.1948746","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13602365.2021.1948746","url":null,"abstract":"This special issue of The Journal of Architecture has its beginnings in a symposium that was organised jointly by Drawing Matter and the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, and held in Edinburgh between 9 and 10 April 2018. Recent accessions to the Drawing Matter collection had included drawings and sketchbooks by Peter Wilson, such as his 1998 Eurolandschaft — A Dérive, drawn in a Japanese concertina sketchbook, and it seemed an opportune time to linger with his work. The aimwas to take a long view, revisiting the drawings, texts, and projects in order to explore continuities and transformations across them, and to examine, with a new closeness of attention, their force and consequence. Considerations thus spanned from Wilson’s early speculative projects through those developed during his longstanding collaboration with Julia Bolles, which started in 1980 and that led, with the award of the competition for the New City Library in Münster in 1987, to the establishment of what would in due course become known as Bolles +Wilson, as the practice continues to be called. While the symposium — and this is reflected in this special issue — was especially interested in questions of drawing, it was so in their connection to architectural thinking and the way that graphic techniques inform and shape processes of design. The intention throughout was to reflect upon the interrelationship between Wilson’s drawings and writings, and the designs that he has developed both individually and collaboratively. Born in Australia, Wilson studied at the University of Melbourne before travelling to London in 1971 to join the Architectural Association (AA), which he entered the following year — a period explored in the first part of the extended interview printed in this issue. Although the school was in a precarious state, in the grip of a funding crisis that had threatened its independent status, this was, at the same time, a significant moment of transformation that released great energy. Wilson’s arrival in London had coincided with the appointment of Alvin Boyarsky — whose celebrated unit system was introduced at the start of Wilson’s second year at the school — to the newly established role of AA chair.

Listing idiosyncrasies of Wilson’s work and reasons for delving into its multi-layered nature, the article decodes conceptual, figurative, and tectonic references from which Wilson derived his architectural vocabulary. Scanning Wilson’s oeuvre requires traversing distant territories and intimate thresholds, looking simultaneously backwards and forwards, and moving through spatial practices of writing, drawing, and building, which together define its productive complexity. Accordingly, defying a chronological narrative, the article explores a series of built and speculative projects, drawings and installations, offering a transversal reading into accumulations of tropes and relations that underpin Wilson’s work. His categories ‘Appropriations’, ‘Juxtapositions’, ‘Narratives’, ‘Choreographies’, ‘Adjacencies’, ‘Artefacts’, ‘Objects’, ‘Fields’, ‘Material Assemblages’, and ‘Atmospheres’ offer a particular projective taxonomy. The article presents them as a collection of plays, each with a set of rules and its own micro-narrative; each with its own mask. Masks recur in Wilson’s work as both figurative and procedural frameworks embodying his concern with finding a role for the architectural object in the performance of everyday life. Uncovering these masks, the article argues that even though Wilson’s work has distinct evolutionary stages, they cannot be seen as a diachronic succession. They rather fold into each other in a process of constant deviation from their own rules, rejection of fashions, or revalorisation. Such a process of internal folding mirrors Wilson’s consistently provocative and experimental nature. It is one of the reasons why Wilson’s work retains a particular allure, calling for an exploration of its conceptual complexity as well as spatial sensibility, and awakening our imagination.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"12 3 1","pages":"575 - 598"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82736868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Performance in architectural design is related to building behaviour, which can be computed by models based on physical phenomena. Performance issues can be evaluated from a range of perspectives associated with the different problems that arise (Mahdavi, 1999). Buildings must, therefore, accommodate certain performance criteria. These criteria cover technical matters (e.g., health, safety and security), functional concerns (e.g., efficiency and workflow), as well as behavioural, psychological, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions. Performance analysis usually requires engineering or other expert knowledge to apply performance algorithms and interpret the results.","PeriodicalId":44236,"journal":{"name":"METU Journal of the Faculty of Architecture","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73579470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
