Atlas Mnemosyne - Aby Warburg
Cecilia Puga: work shop leader Maria Souto de Moura: workshop assistant This is an exercise around the material condition of architecture. The workshop proposes the students to understand the material issue in architecture, as a projective operation, which have, at their core, the desire to build a certain quality of environment that would define the user’s experience. Therefore we arrive at the project’s material system obliquely, as the result of a search to build a particular atmosphere, a specific sensory, visual, acoustic and cultural experience. The workshop practices with the students the ability to read, understand, interpret and dissect different environment qualities to then -through material manipulation and experimentation - create spaces which have a precise and relevant character, from the point of view of the experience they build. The arrival to the architectural form is the result of the articulation between Relations, Atmosphere and Material System. There is no thesis, but coherence in the construction of a visual memory capable of communicating projectual intentions, objectives and strategies coherent with one another. We operate starting from images association games, understanding, on one hand, that all projectual design practice is part of a cultural context determined by the Architectural Institution and on the other hand, there is an associative and open way of knowledge, of multipleentry, non-linear and chaotic from which the projectual exercise is tributary and where the world of visuality and image is a powerful vehicle for communication and learning.

RELATIONSHIP SYSTEMS Relationship systems include the program’s organization and the relationship between the parts, the organization of spaces and volumes which make up the building. They determine the degree of privacy and control and the kind and the quality of social interaction that the project proposes (and the work materializes).
ATMOSPHERE SYSTEMS The atmospheric systems refer to the qualitative conditions of architecture, to the sensuous, sensory and emotional definition which define the user experience. The light, shadow, texture, color, sound, etc.
MATERIALS SYSTEMS Finally, the material systems relate to the physical condition of Architecture, this understood as a body defined through the material, the structure, the construction system and generally by operations or strategies ordering these three elements. The material system is the one which gives body to the atmospheric system.
