Flexible Systems & Wooden Constructions for Challenging Environments
Like any other art form, architectural visualization has the power to move your audience, whether it be the design client, potential customers or future tenants. When they can actually experience the design, they’re more likely to interact, collaborate, and comment long before the final version, giving them a sense of contribution to the whole—all while providing you with confidence that the design is really what they want.
Architecture performs through bodies. Its
conceptualization entails choreographing
bodily movements. Drawings are spatial
scripts, to which bodies perform in
conformity, transgression, re-appropriation, or
indifference. Performances can be corporeal or
phenomenological, planned or spontaneous,
everyday or a singularity. They charge
architecture with vibrant energies disrupting
the exigencies and politics of built spaces.
The 10th issue of Room One Thousand,
“Body + Performance,” seeks for performance
to expand and challenge our understanding of
architecture and its impact. Performance can
be understood as an object, phenomenon,
commodity, or metaphor. The convergence
of architecture and performance captures
the corporeality, tactility, and sensuality of
a space. How can architecture be read
through the lens of performance? Who is the
performer, the building or the body? What
are the design implications of highlighting
the agency and plurality of bodies? What
happens when architectural practice shifts
from performance to production? How can
performance be a methodology in design?

One person’s wishlist is already another person’s problem. Prime Day is cruel and you can’t afford the bag your culture is printed on. This persistent materialism is contributing to social inequity and climate crisis alike and from quarries to distribution centers to construction methods, architecture is implicated at all scales of this material overproduction.
