atelier de la conception de l'espace   ALICE

The atelier is focusing on the relations between language and object of language that exist in the process of making in architecture: for example treating the construction of a drawing before drafting.

If architectural space is conceived as a primary property of architecture and as prior to two or three dimensional representation, as well as prior to structural enclosure or object serving functional needs, what will be the essence of that space and how can we explore its depths with the tools that can be employed by the architect? ALICE offers critical approaches to the questions that rise when we look at architecture both as a cultural praxis and as a profession in the socio-political context.

We will examine specific conditions imminent in representational tools and techniques. Representational tools, such as architectural models and plans, or digital constructs like Google-Earth, possess their specific qualities. At the same time they both have their hidden and apparent limitations. To give an example: While simulating time and space, Google-Earth is also a constructed (virtual) interaction, a collage of disparate, strongly manipulated, frozen moments.
