DIA L E C T IC A L [ U N ] C A N N Y Unfolding the duality of the space and its potentialities

INTRODUCTION The selected specific research method is framed around the idea that the particular situations[be it canny or uncanny moments, situations] have the embedded and coded potentiality to be unraveled through the architectural discourse. The triggers in the urban space are heavily subjective, however, the contemporary city allows overflow of these imprints.

Rather than understanding the city as a whole mechanism, the approach opens the possibility to encounter it through a fragmented perspective. The method suggests a more intrinsic and alternative path to unfold the character and the nature of the space. Also, this allows one to critically [re]assess the contemporaries that are happening in the city.

COLLECTING THE SITUATIONS

During the visit to Yerevan, it was essential to get estranged1 with the city.

As it is in the phenomenology field so is here: it is important to exploit what the phenomenon is rather than describing why it is. Therefore, the estrangement is selected as a tool to lose the specific prejudice that has been developed before coming to the place. Not only as an observer but also as an ‘actor’ in a nearly transgressive play could I notice the agents of the space that are embedded in the city.

To conduct the research and exploit the city’s characteristics the theory of Derive 2 was selected. The total of 8 walks were performed during the stay. For every walk, the pictures of the most triggering architectonic elements or spatial anomalies were captured by a camera.

However, as a digital camera has its flaws in pertaining a highly limited frame and scope the necessity to retrace and redraw the phenomenon to continue with the method emerges.

During this stage, the alienating drawings were developed. As a method, the new technique was applied to the frame and the new entity emerged from it. The lines, patterns and imprints became symbols to represent the situation. By re-tracing and re-drawing the map of situations, it allowed to go beyond the conventions of the frame. The scale and imprints that are embedded in the Cartesian understanding of the space were challenged. Superimposing, juxtaposing and layering was also used to explore the nature of the phenomenon.

This manifested in creating the new generation of the drawings.

REDRAWING THE PHENOMENON

Pic 6. Estranged picture. In this drawing, the reference to the original frame is kept minimal. Rather than showing pictorial nature of the picture the alienating effect works towards releasing the new spatial character and atmospheric setup of the drawings. The new emerging condition is here analyzed through lines and patterns and dependencies in between them.

SPATIAL [RE]TRANSLATIONS

During this phase, it was necessary to look for an architectural understanding of the space. By redrawing the situations multiple times to surpass and explore the spatial capabilities and open the design potential of the drawing.

The theme of alienation was one of the motives for the drawings. By extracting and excluding elements of the dĂŠrives and trans-projecting them into another context within the same range opened the whole new spatial setup. This estrangement of different elements, however, interlinked with each other and lacking the referential point was used as a method to combine it into the notion of the mapping. The mapping is itself alienating, however describing the phenomenon.

From this point, the research continued to explore the itineraries embedded in the mappings. The fusion of moments translated into flat models(pic. 9) and atmospherical projection onto a surface.

The experimental attempt to exploit and translate the spatial setups were emerging by the products.

MODI OPERANDI WORKSHOP During the workshop, the selected mapping was translated into a physical form. The decision to translate the mapping into a 2.5d model and a threedimensional model was a step to explore the drawing’s limitedness to express the dependencies and abstractedness.

The assemblage sketch model was a manifestation of the operations happening within the drawing. The stitching and stacking of separate materials(as moments within the drawing) and the operations of how the elements were interlinked with each other resulted spatially. One material was embedded into each other(alienating properties of how the material is used, ex. The transparent material was burned

into a static compositional setup = resemblance of superimposition).

The other assemblage model is an exploration of tracing and imprinting differences and properties of one material into each other. The dependencies manifesting by the chemical reaction of one material with another(ex. Juxtaposition of elements: curing of plaster = release of the heat, plasticine = by applying heat results in shifting form).

The atmospheric model was as a next generation by keeping the logic of joining/separating the materials with each other. The programmatic setup of the atmosphere allowed to incorporate/ explore the thematics of the mapping more intrinsically. Therefore, the conditions of imprints within the moments of [un]canny reemerged.

CONCLUSIVE MAPPINGS The final mappings were developed in two different ways. One as a questioning and the transition/superimposition/ juxtaposition between the situations.

This method allows to discover the embedded elements within the space discontinuity, jumps in terms of scale.

Re-emerging thematic in the drawing also offers different viewpoint and translation of the space into an intrinsic architectural statement.

The second mapping is a direct connection with the atmospheric conditions of the space. The duality of the drawing allows multiple readings of the same phenomenon. The fused mapping is a holistic statement of the space and also shares qualities and a potentiality for the architectural proposal. The mapping unleashes imminent moments within the suppressed framework towards the formidable statement.

12

The drawing is an exploration of the applied method. The transgressive elements seemingly join and interlink with each other formulating the new topology at their connecting pivotal points. Also, the drawing allows the jumps in scale, which are the resemblance with space itself. It explores the new emerging conditions of [dis]continuity.

A R C H I V E F O R S PAT I A L P H O B I A S The graduation project

INTRODUCTION The Graduation project focuses on fusing the research phase and a design phase into an outcome of an architectural manifestation and an attempt to frame part of the spatialities and their multiple subjectivities.

The project is based and aims to conclude the research and a search for a method to explore the intrinsic possibilities in a dialectic canny/uncanny environments.

A design which is proposed is seen as an outcome and a synthesis of an architectural research.

Therefore, the method is framed around the idea that the particular situations [spatial practices of an urban environment] have the embedded and coded potentiality to be unraveled through the architectural discourse.

The project puts a focus on a dual (multiple) understandings(readings) of the spatial emergencies. The design and research is also an exploration and a dispute of the itinerary potentialities of the urban conditions. The line between one becoming another gets into a blurred zone, unclearness. Therefore, the new entity could be seen as an emerging topology for the design.

Architecture could be seen as an inbetween factor to release one’s spatial triggers. Therefore, the research becomes a mental exploration of the phenomenon.

The irrationalities embedded within the spatial understanding of the situations manifest themselves through selected methodology. Throughout the research phase analytical models and drawings were produced to incorporate the approach into a coherent design synthesis.

ARCHITECTURE OF SPATIAL PHOBIA With the project I intend to integrate the notion of derive and estrangement into an architectural design of mental understandings of the space. An idea that a built up spatial entities embed the qualities and capabilities of being several things at the same time. All depending on personal visceral factors.

The architecture therefore is understood as an active agent in terms of releasing the itinerary embedded in the factors.

However, the spatial phobias are nested round and directly linked to the elements by which the architecture is made of.

Mixed, juxtaposed, superimposed, joined and fused the construct makes perverse and determined spatial understandings of the spatial equivalents. A bodily positionings in space.

From there architecture of phobia derives. The manifestations of the spatial elements and an in-between which is in this case architecture itself are seen through the most fluctuating point of view. The phobia in itself is an irrationality and by facing it various discontinuities in spatial understanding of the space are embeded.

DYNAMIC AND SEQUENTIAL UNDERSTADING Architecture therefore becomes: the program the agent the solution the paradox Hence, the abnormalities result in specific phobias when exposed to an extreme amount of one or other element.

The irrational fear of elements becomes a driving design tool to overcome a closed statement. On one hand, there is a limitedness and abundance of phobias within themselves depending on a specific personal level.

However, to exploit and unravel the paradoxical project happens when abnormalities are joined together through a sequential and dynamic understanding.

24

Therefore, the paradox is that the phobia can never be avoided in terms of an architectural construct.

Here is an attempt to indicate and accumulate some specific phobias within the previously mentioned construct. The phobia hereby becomes a dynamic object and interchangeable factor. The framework here becomes nearly an archival method in the sense that the phobias can always be located and pointed out, but always can reaper differently and dual.

DYNAMIC AND SEQUENTIAL UNDERSTADING From the phobia construct the emerging need of an archival typology is becoming unavoidable. As the synthesis, a proposal of non-directional and dynamic phobia archive is understood in a more poetic and[or] conceptual sense.

Therefore, the project gets embedded and framed around sequential and also perversed scattered way. But organized by spatial accumulations and situations.

The overall image of the building is seen as a sequential experience within its construct and context.

CONTEXTUALISATION

The city of Yerevan has undergone vast and rapid changes in its built environment. The traces of interchangeable past and geographical location are quite embedded within the city.

The project site is already on a level of conceptual irrationality within itself.

The ravine which divides the city quite dramatically is integrated into the project. The amusement park is nearly an exploration of the topic and also the tunnel which connects the site to the inner city is manifesting in an oxymoron.

Site implantation here within the context happens through the organization of the park and nature elements.

The archive is organized as a sequential folly type of structure. The site was and still is implemented within the context of the western world planning ideas of, for example, the green belt city and also shares the typology of the European garden-park typology, the follies is a continuation and a modern construct of the complex-site relationships.

MULTIPLE APPROACHABILITIES TO THE PROJECT Pertaining to the unnatural and the irrational a phobia is heavily subjective, meaning that one factor might trigger or result in a different way.

This requires a certain degree of commitment to explore the generated effect. As in the phenomenological research, the key to analyze it is to see what it is rather than understanding why.

ENCOUNTERING AND EXPLORING THE BUILDING On the other hand, nearly a transgressive method and a certain level of playfulness is required to perform while encountering such structure. As in a derive method it is hereby interlinked with the design.

The person becomes estranged by his presence, therefore, the switch in the perspective(scale) happens and he is becoming an active agent himself, a performer, not only a passive viewer.

SEARCHING/FINDING/DEFINING THE ENTRY BUILDING AS SEEN FROM THE EMERGING PLANS Therefore the internal organization of the building is seen more as a folly type pavilions interlinked and interjoined together to form a sequential understanding of an archive. A simulation of reoccurrences plays a huge role throughout the complex.

36

As the phenomenon is a nonlinear process the notion of entrance and approachability plays a major role in terms of the architectural construct.

The building is built in a way of interconnecting seemingly separate smaller scale objects.

ENTRANCES/ARCHITECTURAL GESTRUES The sequential and a transgressive method helps one to find entries that are created within the field of phobia nature.

The building is not active until certain visceral points of the trigger are awakened. Moments of what defines the entry and approachability of the building.

As the project is offering an open use of it, the controlled elements are incorporated via making architectural openings, frames, guides and connections with the elements. Therefore, it remains a continuous experience.

THE MATERIAL ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT A link back to the construct of the complex is needed to address the issues of materiality.

The whole design is solved with the use of only one material. This helps to evoke and challenge the material to its limits.

Also, by use of one material only it is possible to explore unravel and address the architectural emergencies at high exploiting level in order to test and push the limits of the material.

TEST OF THE MATERIAL

From the drawings to a scale models metal is put to a test in order to contribute to the architectural manifestation.

The material properties of metal open the possibilities to execute the specific tectonic and tactile aspects of the building.

For the whole building complex, there are four metals that are used: steel, copper, aluminium and brass.

The materials are treated and assigned to one category because of their properties and also characteristics. Even though, every material stands and reflects upon different specific thematics and purposes within the construct.

ARCHITECTURAL MANIFESTATION THROUGH THE DETAIL The grounding of the follies is one of the major aspects of the structure. The use of metal allows to ground the building within the rocky surface of the site.

The idea of the detail of 1 to 1 is that the materials themselves do the work.

Rather simplistic detail of bolting metal plates to the stone and adding vertical structure to hold the horizontal loads makes the material work itself.

Tension, grounding and tectonics here meet and juxtapose themselves as within the archive the structural elements manifest in space and create the architectural notions for phobia.

ARCHITECTURAL ATMOSPHERE THROUGH DETAILS Through the material aspects, it is also essential to address the design state of the project. All the details were selected specifically to endorse and sustain the construct of the spatial phobia archive.

The techniques by which the material is treated is also sequential. The created atmospheres are heavily dependent on many aspects of both the treatment of the material and the weathering conditions.

This allows the dynamic flow of the building. The building is embedded within and through the landscape in a way that it sometimes pierces it, digs into it and goes throughout it.

JUXTAPOSING THE SPATIAL CONSTRUCT Various juxtapositions and discontinuities happen by controlled architectonic elements. The condition of the tactility is also explored throughout the building.

By various perforations, finishings, transparencies it frames the building and makes it accessible, self-guiding, dynamic.

BUILDING IN THE CONTEXT OF WEATHER CONDITIONS. WINTER SITUATION Walkability through the building and general usability is at extreme importance. Having in mind the extreme weather conditions happening in Yerevan.

The previous image and this one implements and addresses the issue of traction and friction within the project and its’ grounding.

While the floor is made from metal plates the finishing is always different.

The specific patterns and bumps are applied to the floor, therefore, it is possible to move even with the freezing temperatures. Where floor seems to be even or slippery the idea of continuous railing is applied.

Also, the corrugated and corroded metal absorbs the sunshine and becomes warm even when exposed to relatively cold temperatures. This allows a person to still be able to mingle with the building.

BUILDING IN THE CONTEXT OF WEATHER CONDITIONS. SUMMER SITUATION Another important situation is when the temperature reaches the peak high.

In order not to overheat and still the building to be bearable the structural piping system is installed.

Excessive tension rods are made hollow, in order to ensure the collected water circulation when it is too hot. Sprinkler system is also attached, so this allows the building to be cooled down by pouring the excessive collected water.

This also creates the additional atmospheric condition of the fog moving through the building since the water evaporates.

The details are mere reflections of the research in material properties within the architectural and functional aspects of design and program. The Archive is created in the way of dynamic sensory experience.

THE ARCHITECTURE AS A TOOL TOWARDS EXPLORING AND EXPERIMENTING WITHIN PARADOXICALITIES OF THE SPATIAL DISCOURSE The broader viewpoint on the graduation project is seen as an exploration of spatial anomalies and the position of architect and the field of architecture.

The scientific framework and the design proposal questions the fundamental notions of aesthetics in architecture, the canny and uncanny moments within the built environment and an attempt to decipher out a person’s psyche.

ENDNOTES: 1. Here, the reference is to Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht. He was the creator of the ‘epic theatre’. In here the estrangement technique comes at work by alienating effect developed by him. The observer of the opera was forced to become a passive performer.

The roles of the actor and observer were switched. As in the developed method the suggested estrangement technique manifests into spatial understanding of the urban encounters and the shifting role of the architect. Benjamin, Walter. Understanding Brecht. London: 1973. Pp.Xiv, 18 2. Theory of derive as in Situationists(Guy Debord).

It is an experimental way of performative exercise to experience and encounter the space. It allows the person to get rid of the silent observer state and invites him/her to act as a protagonist.
