2D drawing

Begin by drawing and painting like the old masters. After that do as you see fit—you will always be respected.

through a filter, to look for what you can’t see, find the DIRT aspects of the city.

These are the contents that have characterized the installation of the students' show1. On November 8th each group has re-presented the selected city through a magic box which showed the DIRT approach that they have interpreted in the analysis trip.

In the section places the analyzed cities .

in the photos below some details of the magic boxes

4 examples of intermediate design landscapes project

Spatial Design > design activity for the design of spaces [ interior | exterior ] and its related tools/equipments system - for the widespread inhabited urban realities of the third millennium - through innovative relational and configuration strategies, progressive and regressive, even systemic.

There is an opportunity for SPATIAL DESIGN to give value to specific URBAN EXTERIOR, consideredOTHER SPACES, that are all those INTERSTITIAL PLACES, constituting the THIRD LANDSCAPE, marginal and residual generated by the urban sprawl.

Misbehaviourist Manifesto by Frank O’Sullivan

Our starting point is to acknowledge the complexities and paradoxes inherent in orthodox architectural practice in order to unearth the dubious simplifications and missed opportunities that result from the tendency to fictionalize future use and impose fixed boundaries upon space, practice and occupation. In anticipation of ‘The Creative User’ our proposals originate from a close focus on the existing condition, paying particular attention to local takeovers, autonomous occupations and the blurring of boundaries of ownership and programme.  When considering questions of technology, we are driven more by intuition, desire and chance than by precedent, economy or established practice.  Our intention is to push the boundaries of Spatial Design practice, not simply in pursuit of technological data or technology transfer but to explore the potential for creative innovation that comes from a shared understanding of alternative design processes, modes of representation and methods of fabrication.

Placeshaping

encounters with others – competing vision, networks & innovation clusters, GRAND(iose) plans, confrontations with our own prejudices, playful interventions and humility

People from different areas and disciplines can work together, collaborate, for different approach and better results. Cross-disciplinarity becomes a fantastic opportunity.

A German philosopher, Hans-Georg Gadamer tryed to understend interdisciplinarity how to bring people together : An encounter with an other is an opportunity to understand the prejudices  engaging with: uncertainty, ambivalence and complexity.  habits of knowing and the project of art (design?)

Learning from Place

Usually many people from architecture make something beautiful and then drop it into a place, without really consider the place.

What we are going to do is try to learn from the place. And then develop a project.  Architecture interventions are serious issues, it is important to play with the place, try to learn observing what comes, try to develop some strategies engaging with place, involving very different disciplines.

Spaces in between For example Venice is built on the lagoon, that is a kind of space in between. It is hang between two possibilities: one becomes land and the other becomes water. The difference at the same time is the fundamental identity of this place.

In the design process, mostly we try to go back to our habits. A project of artist is to disturb or unsettled habits, sometimes unconscious art-work.

What is interesting (for people designing places) is just to think about innovation, cities forming, ideas travelling, trading routes, people meeting, new constellations, energy intellectuality, creativity, innovation... Suggestion that we need to bring together, multiple, sometimes conflicting, to stack your ideas in innovation.

There is not just one solution, there are many... Any combination becomes possible bringing together the differences.

Quotes

Challenging problems don't usually define their adjacent possible in such a clear, tangible way, discovering what those spare parts are, and ensuring that you are not just recycling the same old ingredients. This, then, is where the next six patterns of innovation will take us, because they all involve, in one way or another, tactics for assembling a more eclectic collection of building block ideas, spare parts that can be reassembled into useful new configurations. The trick to having good ideas is not to sit around in a glorious isolation and try to think big thoughts. The trick is to get more parts on the table. Steven Johnson

The patternthat connects Gregory Bateson

You can't control a system, only disturb it Fritjof Capra

The key thing is that once you've released your toys they're autonomous. You're only affecting the system from the margins. It's a little chaos machine: unexpected thing happen, and you only control it from the edges  Erig Zimmermann

Wrongness now means singleness. The constructs of right and wrong imply an either/or world, not the polysemous one of images (PLACES). When we realise the inherent multiplicity of meaning in the image (PLACE) itself, we cannot force the dream into any single truth. James Hillman

Emergence The creative coming into being of form that resolves a complex problem or explores new potential for relationship that are mutually beneficial

[isdirtmatteroutofplace-blog]

The territory of the third millennium is transforming the ways in which the users inhabit the space. To focus on the new ways in which space and places are lived is a creative opportunity that offers challenging areas of experimentation for the design disciplines which are constantly operating in a continuous process of analysis,predicting and understanding the various needs that define contemporary living, proposing solution that can becamespaces, objects or ways of living.

Design disciplines, referring in particular to those related with spatial issues, always confront themselves with bordering disciplines such as architecture, communication, arts, urban planning, cultural geography, landscape design and territorial marketing, as well as other fields, creating contamination and continuous exchange of codes and languages that enriches the ways in which we design and think of contemporary urban spaces. In fact our contemporary dynamic and complex condition calls the need to identify new design tools, as advanced as the context where applied, that must be capable to express new poetics, qualities and meanings for the relations system of nowadays widespread territories, their various urban environments generated and their configurations, to create “Intermediate Design Landscape”. The STUDIO will investigate and develop Spatial design concepts with the DIRT approach, where DIRT views “dirt” not as repulsive but endlessly giving, fertile, adaptive, and able to accommodate difference while maintaining cohesion. Dirt is a design tool. This dirty perspective, in fact,  sheds light on social connections, working processes, imaginative ideas, physical substrates and urban networks. Dirt can become a real design matrix.

These are the key points to start the search of the DIRT place.
