Architecture shape collage3/24/2023 One could consider this as a montage of façades in layers. This led to the discovery that the façades at the location we were researching were not necessarily a reflection of the function of the buildings in the site-specific, but rather a means to convey a certain impression e.g. This part was rebuilt as a model in three dimensions. After drawing the existing façade, students zoomed in on a segment. Montage: In the second phase, the study focused on the scale of the façade and the detail of a typical representative building in the researched areas. Each different card formation led to a different interpretation of the location, sometimes static, sometimes dynamic. The students kept playing around with positioning the cards, with the shapes becoming more extreme: lines, cubes, even a card house. First, the nine cards were arranged in a square, then students tried to decide what the interaction of the cards, in this shape implied. What was interesting was the unpredictability of the students’ actions when they started playing with the cards. By studying three typical locations in the city, students created an interpretation of that part of the city. Together all these collages provided a good representation of the character of the location. The other collages were based on discussions, impressions, and drawings. The first was a very rational and well-considered drawing, the last one was a collage made intuitively using leftover materials. The students worked in groups of three and took a whole day to make the first collage. The workshop: 3 actions We structured the process in three phases, namely collage, montage, and assemblage.Ĭollage: In the first phase, students were asked to make nine collages on cardboard cards of 20x20 cm2, as a reflection on the scale of the city, by studying a 200x200m2 part of the city. We’ll explain our approach through the description of a design workshop activity carried out in the city of Ankara (Turkey) within the Erasmus+ program titled ‘Materiart’. The goal of this paper is to use the “collage, montage, and assemblage” techniques in order to re-connect the architect’s creative process of analyzing and designing the building with the ‘making’ of the building. They look like objects resulting from collages, montages, and assemblages of different approaches from various disciplines that have been unified through computer programs, e.g. In the contemporary city, a lot of urban blocks and individual buildings give the impression that they have been simply constructed on their site without any connection with their close environment. Compared to the past, thus the architect is no longer a key figure in the architectural design process, but the process itself. Introduction: In today’s world, the architect is no longer the leading figure in the design of a building but mainly an expert ‘figure’ within a large group of specialists. Collage (as a noun) A two-dimensional object resulting from the superimposition of images and materials of different nature Collage (as a verb) A method of representation and production of space replacing the sketch Montage (as a verb) The action of layering several and different materials or parts in order to create a two-and-a-half-dimensional object Assemblage (as a verb) A method of production of space by assembling building fragments to create a three-dimensional architectonic object.
