HOME TO SLEEP TO COOK TO EAT TO TAKE A BATH TO LIVE TO WASH TO READ BED STOVE TABLE BATHTUB TO LIVE TO DRY COACH DARK WARM LIGHT GARDEN LAUGH CLOSET LAMP ETC These strange times. For weeks we stayed at home. For weeks we could really experience what it is like to be at home. Even, experiencing it differently over time. Objects we knew very well turned out not to be known enough. Habits could be deciphered. Discovering unexplored movements. All that was daily, and actually never got more attention as it always has been daily, became particular now. Particularly close. Particularly confidential. At the same time particularly desiring. It maybe became different. Maybe even new. This studio wants to start from those daily experiences. How did we experience cooking and eating? How did we experience sleeping, but maybe even making love? Did we take a shower for the daily refreshment or did the bath also become a mental refreshment? How did we plan our daily or weekly agenda of washing and cleaning and didn't ironing also become a form of relaxation in the end? In the meantime, did we read a book in a different place and which lamp accompanied it? Not just these questions. But also endless other questions. Of that nature. The studio focuses on the own living environment. In a first movement of the exercise we observe the daily objects around us. A chair. A table. A window in the corner of the room. And a bed or a bath. We observe our very own everyday world. Probably different. In a second movement of the exercise, we weigh those objects against other objects. References. Which we collect. We bring our daily objects and these references in relation to each other. We understand our own everyday world from the perspective of a broader culture. In the third and final movement we design a new environment. Starting from the observations of our own environment and the insights of the broader perspective, we dare to arrange everything in a different way and develop a new context. *** The exercise is realised in close cooperation with ETH/gta the chair of Tom Avermaete and ETH/gta-exhibitions with Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen. *** The exercise aims not only at the debate but also at the mode of imagination. Rather the mode of imagination than mere representation. Drawing by hand but also making scale models are key. *** The exercise runs in 14 weeks. The first exercise 3 weeks. The second also 3 weeks. The last movement 8 weeks *** Presentations and debates will be held alternately, at table or at the wall. It is recommended to follow all debates at any time. Each end of a movement is seen as a moment of evaluation. *** Given the circumstances, the studio aims to take place one week a month in the atelier. This will always be the third week of the month. The other weeks the studio will be held digitally. The exact working method of this will be further elaborated.

Lernziele 

re-practice prac-teach Re-practice and prac-teach underlines the idea of ‘teach-ing’ and ‘re-search’ from out of a practice based perspective. A perspective which is about making and meaning. About realising and reflecting. About meandering between the making and the meaning. But also between worlds—finding other universes—and ideas—ongoing and revolving—and cultures—the journey in between. universum carrousel journey Some sets of words. Words of a studio. Words of this studio. Words of your studio. Words of a universum. Words in a carrousel. Words on a journey. The universum architecture can be. The carrousel architecture will be. The journey architecture need to undertake. Universum as a personal world. Carrousel as an ongoing world. Journey as a discovery of the world. This studio is called universum carrousel journey. This studio’s atelier will be given the title universum. The lectures will be held under the title carrousel. And the travels will be named journey. But they will be interchanged at times. As the studio is named universum carrousel journey. object subject context * the atelier The studio environment is a place to debate the production since the last studio moment. Presentation and reflection are the keywords of the studio meeting. All material since the last studio moment is available as also eventual specific presentation material illustrating that production. Students will attend each studio moment. * you can draw you can make you can write The studio embraces the drawing. Making handmade drawings is part of the ambition. Making large scale paper models is the other ambition of the studio. Debating by drawing and modeling. Modeling and drawing as a process. * practising a practice Things that seemingly have nothing to do with each other all of sudden have something to do with each other. A practice. This atelier. The Studio * the atelier A studio in quarantine, you’re quarantine. All students will work individually. * learning skills group / individual four pin-ups imagination / reality two reviews thinking / making focus / periphery and so much in between detail / horizon temporary / permanent Making is thinking and thinking is making * travel Given the circumstances, there will be no travel during Seminar Week. * epilogue Architecture is not a matter of architecture. in A+U 561 2017:6, architecten de vylder vinck taillieu, ja+u publishers, Tokyo **autonomy Perhaps it is a matter of autonomy. Autonomy of the architect. Yes, scale. Yes, context. Yes, references. Yes, materials. Yes, colours. Yes, as much as it is always the case. But to find a distance all of a sudden. And to celebrate the autonomy. Which makes a difference. **universe Perhaps it is a matter of the universe. The rearrangement of what can be rearranged as a new world. A different world. Or at least as a different perspective on that world. A world known by no one but desired by everyone. **bravoure Perhaps it is a matter of bravoure. A matter of always and everywhere making things possible again. As possibilities no one expected. As to make possible that which was not and could not be expected. **life Perhaps it is a matter of life. A matter of how life can be understood and how life can be imagined. How it can and should be differently imagined. But how it really makes life. How it is allowed to make life. As a part of making life. And doing so. ** wending Perhaps it is a matter of wendung. A matter of going somewhere and bringing things found along the way. The wendung as the direction where to go. **pleasure Perhaps it is a matter of pleasure. The pleasure of seriousness. The seriousness of pleasure. With pleasure things go better. And become better. Giving more pleasure afterwards. **making Perhaps it is a matter of making. The making of things. How to make them. How to make them just so differently. Differently, yes, but definitely as making.
