Geometrical analysis
The idea of casting started with sketching out the simple concept of addition and subtraction of material for form generation. What are the different methods and processes that allow these possibilities?. It started with looking at Peter Zumthor's processes of how he works with the idea of phenomenology and how space making practices are the result of the process at Bruder Klaus where the whole building turns into a furnace with the burning of wood that shapes the built space inside a cuboidal concrete volume.
The initial idea with sketching led to imagining a 3 D space frame functioning along 3 axes where this process will take place. The idea was to separate the conventional unitary logic of space-making practices. This led to another idea where fluid volumes are imagined into the hard formwork where the solid void relation of space will take place. Further, this process developed into how do we control the form of these spaces and control the geometry of these cavities which were created. Can we imagine a grid framework to control the scale of different spaces ?. The idea further developed into can we imagine a new form or can we scale up the building where this simple experiment of cavities actually turn out into a section of the building can it inhabit people and be used for different purposes. The next stage was about studying the phenomenological experiments that work on associations. Phenomenology is the idea of how different associations can be imagined in the context. How does the space become kinaesthetic in its experience what is the role of light in shaping the surfaces?. How can we control the form of light its geometry?. The central question of Phenomenology was an outcome for how can we create a process that generates a surface which reacts to light in a specific manner and generate different experiences.
