1) Upenn Course<\/span><\/h2>\n

We are in a situation to develop a museum of an Art-Cultural movement, the \u2018Surrealism\u2019 which is by nature incompatible with the statement of its Mind values, from psycho disorder to \u2018pataphysic approach\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

The passage of two juxtaposed realities, to play strategically the incoherencies between real and fiction, dream (nightmare) and logic\u2026seems unreachable, un-manipulable ?<\/span><\/p>\n

The tooling of the Architects are mainly oriented to a positivism instrumentation, dedicated to a domination of a situation\u2026exclusively condemn to be stuck in the visible spectrum\u2026at the opposite, to avoid to answer, meaning to avoid to symbolize what is not \u2018representable\u2019\u2026we should accept to slipper in our \u2018psychopathology\u2019, our idiosyncrasy, with or without Mescaline (the psychedelic\u00a0 alkaloid of some Surrealist)<\/i>\u2026as a protocol of (un)knowledge, engaging a degree of individual and collective masochism, to abandon the preeminence of the territories from where we use to justify the position of knowledge, master-planned. We are condemn in this case to develop unpredictable, uncertain scenario, for a constantly mutating sequence of possibilities (add a morsel of a difference and the result slips out of control, shift the location for action and everything is different), as the ideal occasion to evaluate the fundamental gap between systems that base their development on scenarios and those that base their development on planning.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, we navigated in a suspended time, balancing between improbable scenario applied to situations and probable technologies, with computation and machinism.\u00a0 The narrations, vector of design process are reevaluating \u2013 requestioning the \u2018reason of being\u2019 of their existence, without to deny the unreality of their permanencies, as an architecture able to die, programmed to die.<\/span><\/p>\n

A surrealism museum is genetically a misunderstanding from where we could create the possibility of a manifesto about the illusion of its incarnation\u2026as the choice to NOT BE\u2026 \u00a0drifting in another zone\u2026through a kind of \u2018Malentendu\u2019 (French word in the middle of Mishearing and Misunderstanding).<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

For something which self disqualifies its existence\u2026. But at the condition to be formulated with an extreme manipulation of Science-Geometry-Computation-Substance-Robotic, which underlies the appearent logic of its intentional non reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preliminaries<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The studio will be in the pursuit of the previous Opus (visible on\u00a0http:\/\/www.new-territories.com\/laboratoriesteaching.htm<\/span><\/a>) Including materiality of the construction by \u2018\u2019computation and robotic process\u2019\u2019 developed more precisely in this following text and integrating a notion of \u201clife span\u201d, as a protocol of death and life, of \u201cEros and Thanatos\u201d, this new Opus will be the occasion to develop from two novels (High-Rise by J G Ballard, and ZOO by\u00a0James Patterson, \u00a0Michael Ledwidge) \u00a0scenarii and a design process which will stutter between the pathology of an architecture (High-Rise) including the multiple disorder of its inhabitants and the anarchic behavior of the other species from the nature (ZOO).<\/span><\/p>\n

This antagonism, the dilemma, the confrontation (sympathy, empathy, antipathy) between human and animal\u2026will be located in Bangkok, at the place of an existing ZOO (on top of a department store \/ see pictures).<\/span><\/p>\n

Conditions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

-Reading or flying in the two novels, at the first week agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n

-Developing a design scenario as a meeting point between species on High Rise syndrome, symptom, and potential of failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Research within the media culture field about similar dialogue or \u201cmalentendu\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

-Impermanency of the substances at the base of the emergences, as \u2018\u2019things which necrose\u2019\u2019\u2026both in the movie and the structure\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

-Uncertainty and unachievment (of each invidudual living part and collective structure), both in the movie and the structure\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

-Local negotiation \/ no global control (on view, on air, on access\u2026) for local adaptation, variability, as a \u201cdesirable machine\u201d, both in the movie and the structure\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

– Measurement and strategy of colonization (no panoptic references but XYZ positioning \/GPS), both in the movie and the structure\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

– Strategies of bio-mechanical robot (from low tech to high tech) \/ strategy of construction\u2026even deconstruction \/ reconstruction -Neighborhood protocol (human animal swarm intelligences!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Situation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Location in BKK \u2026the site is able to affect the \u201cconstruction process\u201d or by the specificity of the situation (chemical\/morphological\/topographical) or by the possibilities to use recycling material of construction from the site (garbage, existing forces and conflicts, transitory substances, anthroposophic exchanges\u2026) or by the (de)-organization of living species, sheltered by the structure. From the machinistic, passing by the chemical to the visceral, some of the processes that the entrant might consider in elaboration of this new Partial-Total Ecology are: screwed, chewed, shat, sweated, swallowed, vomited, pined, secreted, woven, knitted, extruded, staggered, scattered, coagulated, aggregated, welded, pinched, braided, spidernetted, bonsaied, crystallised, calcified, excreted, expanded, branched, pulped, smeared, coagulated, excavated, assembled and disassembled, bended, blended, and their machine picked, spiked, pinched, caressed, embraced, sliced, cut, laminated and loved…<\/span><\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The high rise project was a maniac obsessive topic in the architecture field of this last 10 years. Students, teachers, young architects who pretended to book their posterity were addicted to plan and over design the last Abu Dabi, Dubai, Shanghai, High Rise superstructure, fascinated by the symbolism of the phallic symptom (even twisted, bent, parametrically decorated, with techno windmill on the top, and greenish alibi\u2026). Could we re-evaluate this na\u00efve \u201cblind and deaf and mute period\u201d\u00a0by questioning the social-aesthetic condition of its own failure, in term of meanings, of \u201cgestalt\u201d, to de-infantilized the temptation to deny the condition of its production (from a kind of childish techno\u00efd architect to a Petit Bourgeois-Upper-Middle Class client). At the opposite, could we negotiate the opening of a Pandora box, from where the design and the disease and the consciousness of the both are contingent, co-substantial? Far away from the gate community delusion, which illusionary seems to protect us against the \u201csavagery\u201d and the alienation of the system, the relationship-aesthetic of antagonisms and conflicts cannot be ignored anymore. We will touch a degree of \u201cbeaustrosity\u201d, done by co-dependencies, co-relationship, and co-pathology between \u201cMal\u201d and Animal. We will use narration, computation, 3D print, scenario\u2026to finalize the work through a presentation which could borrow the format of an exhibition. Program of the \u201curban structure\u201d A \u201cpolitic\u201d small community, both collective and individualistic, as a social and fictional experiment, utopian, dystopian, atopian, as a TROPISM<\/span><\/p>\n
