TANGO SPACES
SPACES, NOT THE BUILDINGS In this Porto Academy workshop we would like to propose you to focus not on the architecture pers se: buildings, volumes, facades; but on the spaces between or around them. These spaces are created by the buildings, and normally considered as transitional, public, or supplementary spaces. We would like to argue that programming these spaces and designing their usage is one of the key roles of the contemporary architect. WE NEED NEW SPACES BUT WE WASTE THE EXISTING ONES On one hand, cities constantly need to grow and expand. This causes new construction, urban sprawl, growth and constant new development. On the other hand, within the existing city fabric, there are plenty of underused and wasted, idle spaces. An these are not only the evidently „abandoned“ urban lots, but also the spaces which are often under-used. They work solely for one function, or for solely one short period of time. What happens to office spaces out of the working times? REGIMES OF USE: MULTIPLE PROCESSES INSTEAD OF NEW BUIDLINGS In order to solve this paradox, we propose to explore the possibility of intensification of use of urban spaces. We speak about intensification not as an economical tool of rationality, efficiency and profit-oriented economy, but as a tool of reduction of environmental impact of architecture. We as architects, should propose how to cleverly use what we already have, instead of endlessly producing new structures, of growing wider and higher. „TANGO SPACES“ One of the key design challenges as well as the assets of the project is the temporal (in time) layering of the spaces. Like in the dance of Tango, where dancers circulate in the same space together, each one following his/hers patterns and trying to avoid crashing with the others, this coexistence creates complexity and beauty at the same time. Public/outdoor spaces are formed not only by physical matters such as materials or architectural elements but also by the regulations. Some of the best designer spaces can be completely dead when over-regulated, or privatized; and on the contrary: some generic pieces of land can be extremely rich and lively if properly curated. Overregulation and privatization of public spaces are one of the biggest issues of their performance. MAXIMUM EFFECT WITH MINIMUM MEANS How much do we need to design public space and organize its‘ processes? Sometimes, not much, and even just a layer of paint can serve as a powerful spatial tool. We propose you to look at the materialsand solutions which get to maximum effect with the minimum of means. This can be: canopies, greenery, urban furniture, umbrellas, tape, paint, partitions, barriers etc. etc. NOT BUILDING / NOT BUILDING MUCH: ARCHITECT AS A CHIEF CURATOR OF SPACE In the context of shortage of open space , overpopulation, and environmental hat if architect should be not the „CHIEF BUILDER“ (archi - chief; tekton - builder; from Greek) but a „CHIEF CURATOR of THE SPACE“ which proposes how can architectural tools shape the flows of people and different processes. TEMPORARY STRUCTURES Time is an important component which you should take into account in your project. Temporary character makes the intervention less intrusive, more adaptive and at the same time allows to use it as a testing ground, that can transform and adapt.
