>>>>> Window in a valise- final crit

“(...) Here again, a new form of expression was involved. Instead of painting
 my aim was to reproduce the paintings and objects that I liked and to
 collect them in a space as small as possible. I did not know how to go
 about it. I first thought of a book, but I did not like the idea. Then, it
 occurred to me that it could be a box in which all my works would be
 collected and mounted like in a small museum, a portable museum, so 
to speak (...).”[1]

Barkow Leibinger: Atlas of Fabrication [1]

>>>>>9.00-12.00

As a final presentation is to be designed to communicate the process and final results, each student will be asked to analyze and organize the results of the research and production undertaken during the whole semester. The works presented in the next phase [Window in a valise/ portfolio] should be processed, comprehensive and coherently organized [documentation related to the different stages: analysis/ case studies, investigation/probes, prototypes/final result].

Some questions to be addressed:

What is the outcome of the research?

What documentation is important for the construction of the narrative?

Which documentation is to be developed and which re-elaborated in order to explain the scope and the richness of the research?

How to construct the narrative?

How will you organize the work in the last phase?

Studio Mumbai: Work-Place Exhibition, Lausanne 2011 [1]

“(…) Windows are almost unnecessary in the Indian climate. Studio Mumbai buildings and rooms are more often enclosed by shutter screens allowing the passage of air and, like Japanese paper screens, a variety of relationships between inside and outside. The agents of movement, crafted 
bronze rollers, hinges and clasps are Studio Mumbai products, they transform the house into a responsive and adaptive machine
 where entire walls fold together like the pages of a book. When windows do appear, their horizontal format recalls the Eames House or other high points of modernism in India (including Pierre Jeanneret's experiments with domestic cross ventilation in Chandigarh). The beautiful and ingenious opening mechanism and hand-carved grips operating the horizontal windows between bedrooms and veranda in the Utsav House, for
 example, are close relatives to the pivoting horizontal louvres that cover the three-floor facade of the 1935-1942 Golconde Dormitory at the Aurobindo Ashram 
in Pondicherry by Antonin Raymond (…)”[2].
