Participate in the crowdfunding campaign for the translation of the book "Soft City: Building Density for Everyday Life," authored by David Sim, creative director and partner at Gehl Architects
The daily rush prevents us from seeing and experiencing our cities. Whether by bus, subway, car, motorcycle, bicycle, or on foot, we are constantly rushing, failing to realize that time is our most valuable asset. In this haste, cities go unnoticed. Our focus is simply on commuting, day after day.
Form and void are inseparable concepts in Japanese culture. This course proposes an analysis of selected architectural works, supported by the aesthetic notion of Ma, to explore different conceptions of space-time in Japan. The course aims to present the conceptual, spatial, and material aspects of these projects to foster an understanding of the potential relationships between form and void, as well as to approach the void as a form of potential rather than an absence. The course is intended for anyone interested in architecture and Japan in general.
This work is designed to provide educators with didactic strategies applied in the first design studio of an architecture program: Architecture Studio 1 (PA 1).
