We were the first group who started the marathon. The first day we started with first 6 points, taking as a concept ideas of creation of space near kitchen, thinking about visibility issue for 2d floor offices, using the existing constructive elements to hang on, providing the space for cars to pass through.
More information seen in the video,
A machinic architecture with an underspecified material, spatial, performative and programmatic
goal, able to evolve in real-time within the IAAC post-industrial void. The void is filled
with trajectories, densities, intensities and processes; it is converted into a new systemic
“FUN PALACE”.
-
The workshop operates as a machinic protocol for the syntetisis of the PALACE whose
“rooms” coagulate from raw materials, organisational principles, individual experience as
well as group coordination, all in real-time.
The construction process runs as a cultivation experiment, rigorously in 1:1, from digital
diagrams to prototyping and installation. Loop after loop the protocol will unfold non-stop in
a marathon lasting 3 days and involving 5 groups of 6-7 students each, working on shifts
for a total of 891 man*hours of cultivation.
-
Relentless manufacturing, layering, testing, playing, discussing [with readings of Cedric
Price’s original Fun Palace], resting and back again another loop, another group breeding
new material articulation and programmatic differentiation. No undoing is possible, only
more overlaying, incorporation, negotiation with what is already there.
