NORTIGO ARCHITECTURAL ABSTRACTIONS

by architect and photographer Pygmalion Karatzas Vertigo is a sensation of feeling off balance. What about the opposite feeling? The experience of discovering our “true north”? I use the word ‘nortigo’ for such feelings of inner purpose, of alignment between the personal and the Kosmos. 'Nortigo’ photographic series is an exercise in shifting points of view as a gesture to reveal new and interesting information, compositions and feelings from spaces designed to form tangible connections between above and below, by looking straight up towards the ceiling, atrium or sky. The progression from indoor to outdoor spaces supplements the introvert/extrovert design polarity, while the pairing of classical buildings with modern, postmodern and cosmogenic architecture allows for comparative viewing experiences and a diverse showcase of architectural typologies.

Images are part of a larger project: ‘Integral Lens - multi perspectival approaches to the study and representation of the built environment’. A visual journey of contemporary architecture and cityscapes from United States taken during a 5-month visit, awarded by the Fulbright Foundation Greece with the Artist Scholarship Award and sponsored by the College of Architecture and Design of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. The accompanying academic paper, co-authored with prof. of architecture Mark DeKay was presented at the Integral European Conference and at the Trieste Photo Days Festival in 2018.

Selected images from this collection have received distinctions in international photography competitions Siena International Photo Awards 2018, Fine Art Photography Awards 2017, International Photography Awards 2016, PX3 Prix de la Photographie Paris 2017, Interior Design Best Picture of the Year 2016. The book collection from this series has received 2nd place at the Moscow International Fotography Awards 2019 in the category of Fine Art Books.

“Design is not always immediately perceived, nor is it meant to be fully understood. Design is not entirely definable even though the mind insists that it should be. Rather, design prefers the euphoria of epiphany and the steadfastness of growth. Revealed to consciousness through attachments and correspondences, design prefers to perpetuate an understanding between the seen and the unseen, between spirit and matter.” - Carl Garant, ‘The Tao of Design’

CAPTURING THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE IN PLACE

ARCHITECTURAL AND LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY IN GREECE An academic mini-term course abroad by the University of Tennessee Knoxville

CAPTURING THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE IN PLACE In May of 2019, 3 staff and 10 students trekked 2600 km of Greece by foot, bus, ferry and plane to study architecture and landscapes from the ancient classical sites to contemporary works, using photography to document, represent and express. Developed and conducted by professor of architecture Mark DeKay, editor and coach Susanne Bennett, and architect and photographer Pygmalion Karatzas, we shot only in RAW format and fully manual mode, post-processing in Lightroom and Photoshop. The course takes as a theme the human experience of buildings and landscape, particularly, the experience of nature and natural forces—in urban and village settings. Building on the instructors’ collaboration and scholarship of architectural photography, students engaged its expressive, editorial and documentary types, in the technology of digital production and the presentation of work. Each photographer developed a personal creative intention to guide the artistic vision. It was a time of breakthroughs, transformations and communions with people and place. The course was designed

to include landmark buildings and areas of the Greek capital, the mainland country-side and the islands within the three-week period of the mini-term. It was also structured to have classroom presentations, in situ workshops with the instructors, assignments to explore places photographically on their own, and guest talks / guided tours with local professionals in related fields. The fast-paced rhythm of dealing with new information, people and places required for our exterior professional advancement was counterbalanced with the contemplative and reflective mindset needed for our interior personal and interpersonal development. Learning objectives Educational goals 01. Experience Greek history and culture via architecture, interior design and landscapes. Engaging a new culture and place brings your own point of view to the forefront. 02. Learn to use and fully control a digital camera in manual mode. Mastering your camera places new tools in your hands for the study of

the built environment. 03. Develop facility in photographic post-processing with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, including working with RAW for maximum creative control. 04. Become familiar with the viewpoints of different types of architectural photography: The Documentary, Editorial and Expressive viewpoints. Being aware of the perspectives you take when using your camera empowers you to see the world in ways that you consciously choose. 05. Learning to use the long exposure technique with neutral density filters for architectural and landscape subjects. 06. Create photographic series and narratives using multiple images in a series or sequence to convey a larger idea or story. Editing, curating and presenting your work. 07. Understand examples of the relationship of buildings to sites, from topographic, symbolic and other perspectives. 08. Exercise of one’s artistic eye in expressing a scene and its engen-

dered feeling. 09. Learn a conceptual framework for understanding human experience of nature and natural forces in buildings and sites. 10. The experiences, skills and knowledge your develop in this course will give you a competitive edge. Instructors’ Scholarly and Teaching Collaborations Mr. Karatzas spent five months in the US as a Fulbright Artist from Greece. Prof. DeKay was his faculty sponsor and The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), the host institution. During this time Karatzas worked with students in design studios and in schoolwide workshops and gave a public presentation of his work. “Integral Lens” was the theme of Karatzas’s Fulbright project, and DeKay wrote a book called Integral Sustainable Design: Transformative Perspectives. Both use “integral theory.” Karatzas and DeKay collaborated on an extensive paper about an Integral theory-based approach to architectural photography, the first of its kind, which was presented at the Integral European Confer-

ence, in May 2018, in Budapest. DeKay and Bennett travelled to Greece in October 2017 to work on the collaborative project. The first mini-term proposal was an outgrowth of their shared creative and theoretical interests. DeKay and Bennett returned to Greece in June, 2018 for additional detailed planning for the first Greece miniterm, which was successfully run in May 2019 with ten students from UTK. By the end of the course, the work produced was uploaded and presented on a website for review and evaluation. In Fall 2019 the instructors curated an exhibition with student and instructor images from the course that displayed at the UTK School of Architecture and Design October 27-November 22. The next course is planned for May, 2021. Collective works will be exhibited at the 2020 Integral European Conference in Siofok, Hungary, next May.
