Spaces as a Sequence of Events

Architecture and Film as moving images.

Aim is to solve the issues of uncorrected vision by creating a sustainable access

Brief

Developing an architectural Design Process by extensive looking at spaces in Films and Architecture hrough a common lens

Architecture and Film as a Moving Image

Developing character of Moriyama House, designed by Rhue Nishizawa, through series of images. Sequence from ‘Moriyama San’, Beka-Lemoine

Developing the character through series of images of objects in a space, Sequence from ‘Rear Window’, Alfred Hithcock.

Movement Image and Time Image in Film and Architecture

The understandings from Gilles Deleuze’s theory of Movement Image and Time Image would be used in developing architectural spaces

Movement Image

As the name signifies, these images bring movement in a narrative.

Time Image

These are the images of recollection and imagination. They take the viewers back and forth in time

A Sequence of Images from ‘Spellbound’, Alfred Hitchcock

Time Image: Depicting the never-before feelings experienced by the Female Protagonist

Sections cut through Different spaces in Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya, Charles Correa

Time Image: Bench facing the courtyard where I can contemplate the experience of the Sangrahalaya

Sectional sketches of the Design

Based on Time Image & Movement Image and their manifestations.

.. So there’s a fusion of Hindu craftsmanship with Persian Architecture in many of Ahmedabad’s ancient buildings.

Yes! One such example is Sidi Saiyyed Mosque in old city. Ahmedabad has a rich history in terms of art and architecture

It’s intriguing how inner conflicts and our “choice-less identities” gives rise to larger conflicts across the city.

All the inequalities that exist in urban life such as gender,caste, profession are all interconnected in complex ways.

And these civil society institutions are important for these inequalities to be looked at consciously

Yes of course! Art has a great strength to touch a person’s Consciousness.

Art has become such an integral part to address so many diverse topics` for civil society institutions.

It’s so central to this institute and it’s ambiguity is what makes it the core of the institute

The Courtyard is a place for so many diverse events and activities.

They also have a space where one could work on their own art or have jamming sessions or anything.

Their Studio is so open and flexible. This is how institutes work space should be.

We have organized a talk on the Art and the Society here on the terrace and our fellow artist Mr. Jani is going to lead the talk

Well it’s a very good place to connect with each other and to know about each others’ beliefs,works etc.

This space is completely dedicated to the visitors. You can put up anything, a poem, an essay, a sketch, a painting or maybe a sculpture, in a way to leave your mark in the institute.

I think it’s a good way to contemplate about the experiences of all the events encountered during the visit and experience of this place as a whole.

So this is the place to meditate and contemplate about all the your experiences and then maybe objectifying your experience in visitor’s gallery.

After you have put up your experience objectively at the visitors’ gallery, this space gives you opportunity to refine your thoughts and to put it up consciously in the way of living. At the end that’s what this institute aims at.

Definitely. It’s actual a nice approach of including the conflicts in history of the city as they too influence it.

Lets Connect.

Learnings

Looking at Architecture through the lens of Films offered fresher perspectives about space design. This demonstrates that analogy helps in addressing a subject from a different point of view thereby creating unique solutions.

Initially I was lacking clarity about the direction or the intended outcome of the project. I found clarity through research on related topics and by examining Film and Architecture from reciprocal viewpoints. I realized the following: Curiosity will lead to questions, while research and analytical thinking will help in addressing those questions.

I had a notable revelation when I was able to derive the Design program and spaces by designing different experiences for various users. This underscores the role experiential design plays in addressing various attributes of the project.
