Lecture 1.2 Time-Based Systems

 

1.2 Diagramming:  Time-Based Systems

Time.  While time in architecture may seem to follow a deep fundamental understanding of diagramming, analog parametrics and digital parametrics, time affects the critical aspect of variation in a systems understanding of unit , organization and variation.

How do we draw time? How can our understandings of time be used as a design tool?

The first day of class we spoke about how design communication can empower architects and interior architects to build architecture that responds to the values of the people it serves over time.  We will consider James Corner and Stan Allen’s ideas for an adaptive system (Not Unlike Life Itself) and Peter Schwartz’s idea of scenario planning (The Art of the Long View).  An including time in drawing may be seen in James Corner’s planting calender (figure 1) that relates material, planometric location and time.  Visualization of mapping stratgies was previously done at UPenn Landscape Architecture Chair Ian McHarg’s diagramming ecological conditions.

The technique of drawing plan and program in the same drawing but as distinct elements continues in the  drawings done with Stan Allen for the Freshkills Park, titled Lifescape. Allen and Corner follow a linear of Bernard Tschumi in drawings for Park de La Villette, discussed shortly, separating points, lines and fields in abstract diagrams applied to the real-world site of the existing landfill.

Screenplays
1976

“The Screenplays are investigations of concepts as well as techniques, proposing simple hypotheses and then testing them out. They explore the relation between events (“the program“) and architectural spaces, on one hand, and transformational devices of a sequential nature, on the other.

The use of film images in these works originated in an interest in sequences and programmatic concerns. (“There is no architecture without action, no architecture without event, no architecture without program.”) Rather than composing fictional events or sequences, it seemed more informative to act upon existing ones.
