BRIEF
Course Description This seminar will focus on ideas of ‘play’ as an entry into architectural language. We will develop a vocabulary of forms and materials that will unravel living spaces and landscapes embedded with color, texture and ornament. For all that is odd and mundane, there is an architecture full of stuff, and an aesthetic of familiarity and cuteness. In Sianne Ngai’s book ‘Our Aesthetic Categories: Zany, Cute, Interesting’ she presents the notion of ‘cuteness’ as one of ‘mute poetics’, were language detaches from experience and propels a ‘deverbalizing effect’, an aesthetic experience as an act of submission, as an access to the enchantment of form and material.
‘We have seen how cuteness cutifies the language of the aesthetic response it compels, a verbal mimesis underscoring the judging subject’s empathetic desire to reduce the distance between herself and the object’. - Sianne Ngai
Project Overview The design process will be done by a recursive feedback between analog mediums and digital ones. We will begin by creating fresh paint brushes that will be digitally reproduced by a sequence of steps: paint, photo, scan, mesh & print. The last step will be to print the images on fabric and 3D print the brush strokes. An array of softwares will drive this process, such as Maya, ZBrush & Adobe Substance Painter.
