Visceral Intricacy II
Architecture as Performance
Experience Driven Architecture of New Urban Sacred Places
Carl Fredrik Valdemar Hellberg
After a successful studio exploring the potential and future of experiential mega malls in Dubai, Visceral Intricacy II continues the pursuit for new experientially driven design methods, but this time with new urban sacred spaces dedicated to the world religions. The studio will explore the possibilities of architecture as performance (not architecture of performance) by pushing the boundaries for human - architecture interaction. The challenge for the members of the studio this term will be how to bring architecture to life to a level where it can expand communication and exchange between architecture and its inhabitants to unknown levels. We will create intelligent and active structures that perform and acts according to its own “experience” and responds to the human activity inside, a form of communication bond between the architecture and its occupants. We will explore the possibilities of a transformable architecture as the means for this strange communication and analyse existing examples of kinetic and movable structures.

More soon. theCFVH 27thMay-9th June Fredrik Hellberg and Lara Lesmes will be in Macau China with 16 students from Chulalongkorn University Bangkok. The research studio aims to study, explore and analyse the internal fantasy landscapes of the largest and most ambitious entertainment spaces in the world. The Casino’s and entertainment complexes of Macau, China. 27thMay-9th June  Like cities, these single, endless, seamless and sealed buildings grows at ever
increasing speed, reaching beyond our comprehension. Limitless, disorienting, glittering, desirable, revolting, impossible to ignore, yet impossible to understand, they are indisputably a new species of building, nameless and wild. These spaces and buildings are a new frontier in architecture, and we will be its explorers. 2011.09.30 futuregiraffes President’s Medals//Epic Fail No.1 OR a speculative research in the middle of nowhere  "Anyway, just after revealing to you both Part 1 & 2 President’s Medals Winners we have a series of projects which have caught our attention.

He therefore brings us in a small vertigo that question the notions of reality and dream. |
