El segon quadrimestre comença amb un taller intensiu sobre els habitatges treballats a la primera part del curs. Per grups es discuteix sobre les diverses formes d’habitar que s’estan proposant. Damunt les taules de l’aula hi ha les primeres propostes d’habitatges, informació sobre la ciutat on treballem i les entrevistes fetes als veïns.
En aquest moment, obrir les publicacions de Xavier Monteys i Pere Fuertes serà una bona ajuda. Aquí us deixem unes pàgines com a introducció.
Drawing.
Drawing is communicating, it makes visible what we are thinking in order to confront it with others and with ourselves.
We draw at the beginning of a project. Later, during its construction, we draw for the builder. And we can also draw to record the occupancy. The drawing that interests us is the one which researches and fixes our thoughts. It is not about skill.
One can explain a project only with words, but drawing sets a precise geometry that language cannot give. It fixes an option. A drawing brings to sight a thought. When discussion on a project goes into drawing, it incorporates dimensions and proportions, a scale in relation to things around them. Drawing testes what has been talked. To draw with measurements has to do with its materiality, and it brings our thoughts closer to construction, thoughts get prepared for the action.
This is a special aspect in architecture: thoughts and actions go together. Our architecture studio is not interested in intellectual speculations, we test our thoughts into a built reality, so they get into the freedom of interpretation of any built work.
