MAKING IT PRESENT BEFORE THE EYES: THE NEED FOR ATTENTION

The aim of this course is to enable future architects to develop and refine their representations of reality, the context and the environment in which they have to think. To represent is used here in its most obvious sense, which is to show, to stage. But it also has the meaning of the same semantic origin, which is to make appear, to make present before the eyes. Faced with the seriousness of democratic, ecological and social challenges, we need to reinvent our practices, and one way of doing this is to focus on the question of attention.

Pratiquer le dessin permet de développer une attention envers le milieu dans lequel l’architecte va intervenir. Pour ne pas se limiter à la petite échelle, nous allons rapidement aborder le grand format afin de saisir la dimension spatiale du geste. Ensuite, nous aborderons la notion du corps et comment le mouvement nous permet d’explorer d’autres dimensions de l’espace. Léna Massiani, artiste chorégraphe, nous accompagnera sur 3 séances. Cette rencontre nous permettra de mettre en place une déambulation au sein de l’école : elle sera présentée lors des journées portes ouvertes.
