OUTLINE:

“Everything about this kitchen was typical of a traditional kitchen. There was nothing special about it. But, perhaps it was just the fact that it was so very much; so naturally, a kitchen that had imprinted its memory indelibly on my mind. [..] memories like these contain the deepest architectural experience that I know. They are the reservoirs of the architectural atmosphere and images I explore in my work as an architect.” -Peter Zumthor, Thinking Architecture (1998, p.7-8) When we as humans create a ‘place’, we define it in multiple ways. We attribute it with an importance and an identity. We select the siting of the ‘place’ in a geographical location, it’s activities, boundaries, and social neighborhoods, we give it meaning, infuse it with memories, and give it significance. While space is created by physical and notional boundaries, place is characterized by the forces that signify it with an “architectural atmosphere”. We could attempt to describe place as the complete human spatial experience – the spectrum of how one studies a place ranges from the abstract, physical/formal place, to the one that lives in one’s mind and memories. A place may be indoors or outdoors, permanent or temporary, private or layered until it becomes very public, imbued with history, meaning, values and memories or new, radical, rebellious and looking into the future. However, it is through the eyes of architecture that place is viewed at this semester.

COURSE OF STUDY –

The primary architectural goal is going from spaces to places. Hence contextual elements and factors influencing the built environment should be indentified and studied in detail. KEYWORDS – site/situation, neighborhood, memory, identity, belonging, defining characteristics/particularity of place(activity, need, function, scale, hierarchy, perception).

MODE OF STUDY

Course Outcomes:

To understand how architectural space becomes more than just a physical entity because of the way it has been located, sited, edged, layered, and imbued with values and meaning to transform it into its own entity or ‘place’.

SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

The enquiry through exploration and creation of a place from its bare spatial existence leads the architecture student to the next phase where he/she studies the particularity of the dwelling. All spaces “house” activities, whereas a dwelling has a deeper, and more specific character. As one progresses through the course, we move from a wider, more general study of architecture, to a more complex, specific, and nuanced understanding of different areas of architectural design.
