Exploration (22 h)

Crossing the threshold: spaces, passages and viewpoints

This course offers a visual and cinematographic exploration of the notion of threshold – as a passage from one space to another, from one state to another, from one condition to another. Through the viewing and analysis of film extracts, students will reflect on how the image brings into play the relationship between the filmmaker and what is filmed.
Each group chooses a place with a threshold dimension (architectural, social, symbolic) and makes a short film from a situated point of view, experimenting with distance, framing, camera and sound recording.

Pedagogical objectives:
-Understand and analyze the notion of threshold in architecture and the visual arts.
-Experience the filmic point of view as a plastic and critical construction.
-Develop the ability to position oneself in relation to a space and others.
-Discover and apply audiovisual tools (camera, sound recording, editing software).
-Learn to work collectively on an artistic project.

Goal:

Help students conceive and produce a filmic object in which the notion of the threshold is considered not only as a subject, but also as an experience for the viewer. The aim is to learn how to stage a passage by choosing a relevant filmic device (distance, framing, rhythm, sound), while developing creative and critical autonomy.

DUE TO COVID MEASURES, THESE EXCEPTIONAL PROVISIONS :

This course in computer room 103, we need internet, is at 19h15 on Tuesday evening, your courses of PROJECT or ARCHI, ending at 18:30, but they always last longer, so this 19h15, which leaves time for previous courses.
To fit in with the school’s logic of face-to-face and distance learning, the students present in physics every 15 days, this face-to-face course is divided into 2 groups, A and B, alternating face-to-face, which fits in with your PROJECT or ARCHII face-to-face courses.

FOR PEDAGOGICAL OBJECTIVES :

Without matter, there is no light. Matter transforms and reveals the light wave, light is radiation, light without matter is invisible to man. Man perceives only 25% of the natural light spectrum. This is how the object of matter, material, matter/light, naturally imposes itself on our visual gaze, in our everyday environment. Light defines visible matter, volume, the color of matter, light refracts and diffracts, light changes the spatiality of space. Due to a lack of light culture, this light, the result of transformation by matter, is little exploited and remains, in the conceptual use of architects, a secondary, not to say tertiary, artifice. However, in painting, sculpture, photography, the arts and other fields of plastic creation, light is a major part of the plastic and creative result, as in kinetic art. The plasticity of light transforms architecture, so that this complex and multiple object is multiplied…
From the natural light object, the sun, to its technical artifice, the electric light bulb, from the metaphor of art object/light, to literary, cinematographic, plastic, aesthetic, social, architectural, urban, scenographic, theatrical, philosophical and political writing; materials, shapes, transparencies, opacities, technological effects; the field of light creation is vast. Materials carry the essence of the idea of plastic light design.
Understanding the nature of sunlight means understanding its energy, power and light waves. It also means understanding the future resources, applicable to the creation of light, that technical sciences hold out hope for through the creation of new materials.
Exploiting the relationship between matter and light goes back a long way. Light is part of the architectural aesthetic and sculpture of the architects of Greek temples, who thought of this light, this pure white matter, the marble of the Parthenon, the shadow of light…
Today, architects propose their projects accompanied by nocturnal images, dynamic illuminations, light and sound scenography. A decisive light in the presentation of a competition project…
Mastering the light/matter phenomenon means understanding the characteristics of the human gaze, the capacities of the eye, its physiology, the different visions of living species, and the technological images and views produced by our machines, such as the infrared camera image…
PVC, glass, fiber optics, lasers, flames, UV, gamma rays, neon, photosynthesis and more are all subjects of experimentation, enriching the creations of architects, urban planners and landscape designers.
We need to know the costs, uses, durability, energy consumption and implementation – all essential conditions for transforming the project into a built reality.
Advances in technical equipment now make it possible to link light to sound and image, and video to produce extraordinary plastic objects…
The most beautiful lights, are those dreamed lights, at the price, of the reality of this course!

Final mark established by 50% of the attendance mark and 50% of the mark for the design file of the light/sound object produced by the student.

Production of a conceptual and technical dossier for a lighting/sound installation on a chosen site/subject. This file is produced, point by point, chapter by chapter, in chronological order of the course.
A real desire to acquire the basics of the technical culture of the lighting/sound designer in the service of architecture and urban planning.

A desire for light and sound, if possible as a preamble to this course, reading the book ‘Sons et Lumières’, published by the Centre Georges Pompidou, available from the ENSAPLV library. and By nigth, lumière et architecture, Montse Borras 2009-.

The interdependence of time and space is never more evident than in the manifestation of sound. The space constructed disrupts the acoustics of the pre-existing site, and alters the way it was perceived before the intervention. The mode of sound propagation reveals the space, and in turn, the constitution and configuration of the space shape the sound.The workshop will enable students to reflect on experimental music and the place of sound in art, by tackling the notions that opened up the field of music in the 20th century: noise, silence, indeterminacy, interpenetration, spatiality. We’ll be placing particular emphasis on this last aspect of sound (spatiality), because sound waves have to go somewhere once they’re emitted. Sound is spherical, but when we listen to it, it seems to have only two dimensions: pitch and duration. The third, depth, we know exists, but it escapes us. We’ve forgotten how sound traverses space and occupies it. Each place has its own character, which tends to modify, displace and/or fix sound.

50%continuous – 50%test

Students who have completed the ‘Urban Sound Workshop’ (CITD 711 or 911) or who plan to take it at a later date cannot take this intensive course, which is a condensed, more focused version.

Intensive, production of a sound document of 5 minutes maximum.

How do we design? Are we aware of the thought processes involved in design? Do we have the space to think before we do? The aim of this course is precisely to give ourselves time for these reflections; deconstructing the black box of architecture means we don’t have to put up with it. This course therefore aims to develop an awareness of the project process. The objectives are as follows:

– Learn to recognize a method and the relevant tools for creating a project
– Learn to define a project method and understand its stakes and limits
– Gain freedom and autonomy in your architectural design processes
– Know how to imagine several alternatives in the way you do the project to gain in ease
– Learn to anticipate the material consequences of your choices
– Master the coherent articulation of means to ends

Continuous assessment, attendance: 50%
Individual production including a report and presentation: 50%
Supervised sessions will be dedicated to the progress of this production.

Work in sessions + final rendering: based on a project image, invent an original process that could have led to this image, and a process that extends it to take it further, with attention to constructive materiality. This representation of the process should reflect the tools and methods used by the designers. Rendering in the form of a diagram or graphic.

“While the subordination of the individual to the division of labor, his subordination to a specific activity that is imposed on him, has been widely denounced since Marx and Engels, no attention has been paid to his subordination to imposed housing, some of the consequences of which we will examine.”

Colette Pétonnet, On est tous dans le brouillard, Ethnologie des banlieues, Paris, Éditions Galilée, 1979, p. 188

The aim of this course is to take a critical look at the relationship between those who theorize the modern ideal habitat for others, then impose a new form of living and the imaginary that underpins it on the majority, and those who organize and take charge of their own way of “inhabiting” by managing contradictions and inventing their everyday lives.

Between the Second World War and the early 1990s, a multitude of collective housing projects of various types and sizes were planned and built all over the world. Their construction was made possible by the industrial turnaround in the construction sector, and justified by policies to modernize housing conditions in order to “accommodate” more and more people in cities. At the same time, the destruction of the countryside and this process of urban concentration led to the emergence, in or on the bangs of cities, of large working-class neighborhoods considered by the dominant powers to be “illegal”, “informal” or “illegitimate” (shantytowns, gourbivilles, ranchos, invasions, barrios, barriadas, squats, slums…). They preceded, accompanied or complemented the creation of collective housing complexes. Block-building was imposed as THE ideal solution for eradicating these neighborhoods – but also other older neighborhoods and villages in the city – and the only viable recourse for managing their populations.

We have inherited this situation, and its generalization now leaves no room for other forms of living, other living spaces, that are not a priori disqualified by planners.

The main objective is to explore places through the scholarly cross-referencing of identifiers. The photographic tool appears as the instrument of spatial and heritage analysis with a view to contextualized re-intervention during the project as well as thematic identification and reflection for the dissertation.
The strategy employed is that of carrying out photographic urban journeys in order to lead the student to immersion in situ in order to understand the character of mutation of the human, urban and territorial entities analyzed and to enable him to reveal a problematic narrative of the territory according to a personalized thematic point of view.

QUESTION OF THE EXISTING

The course deals critically with India’s traditional, modern and contemporary history (800 years of colonization), culture, architecture and urban planning. Students will be invited to take part in a reflection on Indian modernity as part of a 10-thousand-year-old tradition, a young democracy looking towards a possible future identity after 70 years of independence.
India is experiencing a major rural exodus, linked to population growth and difficult living conditions in rural areas. This rural exodus is leading to overpopulation of the cities, around which gigantic shantytowns have sprung up. Faced with their proliferation, the authorities have chosen to equip the shantytowns with basic infrastructure – sewers, drinking water. Most cities suffer from severe air and noise pollution. Since 2015, India has been aiming to build or redevelop 100 “smart cities” in this giant country of galloping, nightmarish urbanization. Half of the world’s 20 most polluted cities are Indian, and a third of the urban population has no access to tap water.

Over the past fifty years, academic exchanges between Japan and the rest of the world have grown considerably. Contemporary Japanese architecture has become a benchmark, confirmed by the numerous awards received by the country’s architects. Publications and exhibitions on Japanese architecture are now commonplace. The teaching of architecture and product space in Japan is also very present in schools of architecture and landscape design, and in universities, notably in France, Europe and the English-speaking world.

But is there a specificity to the teaching of space in Japan? Why does the space (architectural, urban, landscape) designed and produced in Japan benefit from special considerations and attentions that distinguish it from other geographical areas? Has this territory, located at the end of the Silk Road, concentrated the quintessential architecture of the Asian continent? Did the rapid modernization of the archipelago over the past century give rise to an unusual architectural, urban and landscape modernity? Did Japanese architects develop discourses, imaginations and projects that would have been unthinkable elsewhere?

On these questions, and others that are sure to be raised during the course of the cycle, this seminar-course on “Teaching about space in Japan” aims to take stock of the state of teaching about Japan in architecture and landscape schools, art schools, universities, art history, geography, anthropology, philosophy and the various fields of the human and social sciences. It is intended to be inter-institutional, interdisciplinary and international, bringing together lecturers and researchers from these different establishments, in France and Europe, in Japan and in other countries, notably English-speaking ones.

Grading will be based on attendance (50%) and the quality of the final file (50%).

Personal file dedicated to a Japanese spatial concept and its exemplified analysis (text and graphic documents).

Catastrophes and multiple transitions are spreading across the planet.

As a result, these risks and mutations lead us to radically question not only the physical functioning of these heavily anthropized spatial entities, which have been superimposed and interwoven over time, but also to positively reconsider their weight and centrality as anchors and as memorial and civilizational foundations, as well as conceptual bases for bifurcating and frugal futures.

Together, they are the bearers of vernacular and universal, popular and scholarly know-how, leading to the development of renewed blue and green territorialities that are both inventive and responsible.

The aim here is to familiarize students with the challenges of environmental transition through an approach to hydraulic and vegetation structures and systems, grasped and analyzed in their global diversity.

Interrogating and shaping the reasoned and symbiotic anthropization of environments through the care of the earth and its open veins enables students to deploy the multiplicity and sedimentation of angles of grasp and thought, as well as the amplifying interweaving of knowledge bringing together present, past and future temporalities.

Hydraulics and vegetation will be explored and restored as foundation stones for living to the full, driving spatial planning and central project vectors. Blue and green identities and transitions will be addressed through international case studies, with the aim of identifying, mapping out and restoring Mediterranean, Asian, African and Latin American situations, as well as – and including – those of emblematic and exemplary territories of the extreme, from the hottest to the coldest, as well as from the most arid to the wettest.

The themes are numerous and are renewed from semester to semester, such as the reconciliation of cities with their ports, the restitution of coastlines, the dialogue between rivers and forests, canals and plant cover; the recovery of watersheds as well as the resolution of surface and infiltration pollution, the mitigation of catastrophes such as floods, fires and droughts, the impact of oceanic and climatic exchanges on the good life, the symbiotic habitability of blue and green worlds.

These courses take an “objective” look at the rural environment, constantly moving back and forth between the “micro”, the scale of an element or component of the territory, and the “mega”, the scale of the whole in which it is involved. By comparing these two scales, we understand that the rural territory is a veritable construction articulating topography, hydrology, infrastructures, the presence of vegetation, whether cultivated or not, and built-up areas.

It’s not the apparent or real modesty of these structures that’s remarkable, but the articulation of their different components, the context of these territories (the way in which the different parts of a whole are assembled), what they enable, what they engender. The dike, for example, refers to the land it protects, makes viable, and enables its occupation and use, while the village situated on this land does not obviously refer to what enables it to exist.

This rural context, which was very clear until the middle of the 20th century, has been thwarted by the evolution of our society, which is striving to adapt the living and the land to industrial and economic requirements.

Today, this “industrial” agricultural model is being called into question for its economic, social and ecological dysfunctions. Successive agricultural crises are calling into question the future of production and, beyond production, the development of the regions that support it and the resulting landscapes.

The question of societal expectations with regard to leisure landscapes is added to the agricultural question. The inhabitants of these areas have their own expectations, the consumers of local produce have others, and the consumers of induced landscapes have still others. Rural areas are thus the bearers of seemingly irreconcilable challenges. It’s a real quest for identity, to which the architect can respond, through his ability to define the possible transformations of places, in respect of heritage, economic, societal and aesthetic notions. Alternative agricultural models (agroforestry, permaculture) imply a different territorial functioning, a construction that it’s up to us to support.

As a preamble to our proposals, we need to understand the situation: ‘why and how did we get here’, what are the issues and questions in rural areas, and how can we reinvest these areas with the knowledge and know-how of the architect?
