Materiality of Parkour
Engineer, artist, and theoretician Zoe Laughlin presents the new functions of existing materials in public spaces in relation to parkour, an activity which reinterprets the urban landscape. Her ideas focus on the materiality of daily life: how matter behaves, its sensorial qualities, and how people react to it. A member of the Division of Engineering’s Materials Research(...)

Projects
AP198.S1
Description:
Series consists of records documenting two of Kivi Sotamaa and OCEAN North’s projects: the Open Arena – Töölö Football Stadium and the Terra Cultura – Jyväskylä Music and Art Centre. Both projects were international architectural competitions worked on concurrently in 1997. The collaborative process around these projects allowed exploring design methods through the usage of digital tools. Records, for the most part, consist of digital files and show the design process for both projects. In discussions with Greg Lynn, Johan Bettum and Kivi Sotamaa have expressed that they had broached Töölö as a landscape and Jyväskylä as a cloud. Altogether, this vision is visible in the digital drawings for both projects, although more predominantly in the Jyväskylä records which also includes detailed plans. For both projects, digital drawings and models were created using CAD software (Microstation, form*Z, 3D Studio). Many drawings were saved exclusively as raster or vector images. Project records include physical drawings. For Töölö, drawings show mainly the work on the shape of the structure and include printouts from CAD drawings. These are partial plans and sections. The records for Jyväskylä include sections and plans of the different levels of the building as well as an annotated sketch. Textual records in Series 2 provide more context for the design process and the creation and use of methodologies such as particle streaming, used in the design process for Jyväskylä, and Channelling Systems, used in the design process for Töölö.

The Other Architect
For as long as architecture has been reduced to a service to society or an “industry” whose ultimate goal is only to build, there have been others who imagine it instead as a field of intellectual research: energetic, critical, and radical. From a set of varied approaches drawn from many people, places, and times, the other architect emerges: searching for different(...)

AR1996:1001:231
Description:
- The inscribed titles on two drawings by Théophile Fahrland indicate that the subjects are a "tambour" [drum] (AR1996:1001:232) and details for a "tambour" (AR1996:1001:231) for Notre-Dame de Montréal. The subject of these drawings is identified as a "bearing wall [?]", since the definition of a "drum" - a vertical wall, either circular or polygonal in plan, that carries a dome - apparently does not apply in this case (Art and Architecture Thesaurus). Further research is required to determine the subject of these drawings more precisely.

Ábalos Herreros constructed landscapes—or, more precisely, assembled them—by crudely juxtaposing a cast of semi-familiar characters. Novel to Spanish architecture in the 1980s, this pragmatic method of appropriation was developed and consistently employed as part of their design process. Borrowing, incorporating and transforming allowed ÁbalosHerreros to absorb the(...)
