Kurzbeschreibung | Architecture is often communicated through precise drawings and final models, carefully designed books and curated exhibitions. However, architecture is more than an object to be mediated on — it should be told through stories that can communicate with wider publics, giving architecture the opportunity to be understood as an argumentative, discursive practice. |
Lernziel | The course is aimed at teaching students to identify and design architectural arguments introduced through narrative, inviting a wider audience to respond and interact with their ideas. Students will first research pressing social topics, frame their relevance in architecture, and develop compressed arguments for final architectural proposals. |
Inhalt | The students will gain insight to the history and theory of film, video, and television, with a clear focus on different methods of storytelling. Together we will think about the relations between subjects, human and nonhuman, and discuss ways of translating architectural knowledge to time-based media. The students will therefore construct narratives that communicate architectural, social, and political concepts more directly in the context of a wider argument. The course will be structured through input-lectures with accompanying discussions, aimed at developing individual perspectives on the course topic. These reflections will include economic, political and philosophical aspects and will lead to a coherent collaborative project, that will be carried out as a group. |
