PHASE 6 – JUNYA ISHIGAMI.Boundless forest - REVIEW

BOUNDLESS FOREST

Judit Lastres Aguilera + Alejandro Segarra Quiles

Abstract The P.R.E. course has a clear instrumental vocation aimed to equip students with the necessary tools for learning a basic architectural language that allows, therefore, to demonstrate purposeful relationships of some complexity.

The course assumes that the main feature and “Beauty” –or even better, the main interest or relevancy- of architecture is not talking about “Reality” per se but to speak of Reality only if done through architecture. This may seem obvious but, however, is not evident. This characterizes use and must differentiate us. The loss ofthis understanding and/orneed of what is essentially ours (the architectural) to talk about what is common instead (thereal) can lea dto a perversere placement: the(re) construction* of Reality by its mere narrative or fiction.

Our goal is not only to state “what is already happening,” but to propose guidelines for its construction. Similarly, our production has to construct reality (or at least hypothesize how to materialize it) and not just stage its reality or its transformation (in the best case).

*Construction is understood not as the search for a physical material execution but as the search for guidelines that allow the configuration / execution of an idea.
