Phase III; Reprogramming

Programming the project - modeling

With inspiration from the existing building and the visited buildings in Berlin and a study case from phase I, I will be working with the two acts of transformation; infiltrating and intertwining.
I have been inspirited from the very strict organization of the existing building complex and want to work with this as the base for my development for a place for Berlin University of Arts.
I will be working with a very strict and homogenous grid as a base then develop different spaces by applying walls and customize it due to the different need of activities within the building.
This is an inspiration both from Redbull Music Acadamy having these very diverse and independent rooms within one building and also an inspiration from Neues National Galerie where the structure was very strict and change-able and diverse application was made.  And at last Berlin Holocaust Memorial also as an inspiration to the base of a grid but also how you can create very diverse room/spaces in between and go from having open/public spaces to more closed/private rooms etc.

Phase II; Reflective site readings - collages

Berlin

Six buildings investigating relations; 

existing/new

space/body/environment

exhibited work(s) of art/space/body

Bringing originally fragments and new additions together (Neues Museum)

Monumental Simplicity; creating a ceremonious atmosphere to the exhibition (Neue Wache)

Reflections of the environment (Gallerie Lafayette)

Simple original structure and change-able additions (Neue Nationalgalerie)

Point of orientation (Fernsehturm)

Interaction between topography, spaces and the human body (Berlin Holocaust Memorial)

Prora

Investigating relations; 

outside/inside

space/structure

space/body

space/environment

serial/unique

Multiplication of building modules and unique additions by human and nature

Body - Building Complex

Body - A building module
Body - A room 

Homogenous on the outside 
Diverse on the inside

Section of environment

Structure and distribution of space

Transformation

Phase I; Study Case - Las Palmas Parasite

4th. semester project; Transformation

Site: Prora - building complex

Four different acts of transformation; 
Infiltrating (;From INFILTRATE: enter or gain access to (an organization, place, etc.) surreptitiously and gradually (of a liquid) permeate (something) by filtration).
Intertwining(;From INTERTWINE: to join or become joined, to be or become very closely involved with each other)
Parasiting (;an organism that lives  in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense)
Masking (;From MASK: to cover or hide something so that it cannot be clearly seen)


Brief:
The Berlin University of Arts have decided to expand its activities to Prora and inhabit part(-s) of the Prora Complex including having these facilities; 
A housing unit and work space for 12 artists 
Common spaces (such as a small library, 2 seminar rooms etc. – with publicly open or
partly open access)
In- and outdoor exhibition/performance spaces
Storage (materials, workshop(-s) and exhibition)
Potential connections to the exhibition spaces, research centre and archive of the ProraZentrum

Revit Course

One week Revit Course - for beginners

The result of one week; sketching and developing a dream house

Time-scripting; outside/inside Aros

Two weeks theory course; Trying to capture time at our site and make a work which can explain something about the space. We were working with the traffic outside Aros and the movement inside Aros and try to connect these two spaces - how different time is experiences whether you are walking outside and just is transporting yourself from one place to another or when you are at a museum and are dwelling and staying in the same place for a longer amount of time. We both tried to capture this by diagrams and as our main work a film from outside and inside of Aros comparing these two different experiences.
