Beskrivelse

The superformlab workshop aims to develop a series of architectural propositions at Spatial Design which continues the research introduced previously within the field of the privacy in architecture. Specifically, our agenda here is the relation between knowledge (how and where knowledge is produced and by which means it is represented and transmitted in architecture) and privacy. Moreover, we will discuss on how this relationship has inevitably been and is affecting the idea of history in which we locate and understand the architectural constructs (both physical and theoretical).
The interest in privacy comes from the focus of the ongoing research project held at the University of Copenhagen within the Centre for Privacy Studies (http://teol.ku.dk/privacy/) where a group of scholars on history of architecture, ideas, law and church are investigating its role in a historical perspective and within different contexts, therefore examining privacy as a contemporary notion and urgency.
The workshop focuses on the design / production of a series of ceramic, glass, plaster, concrete, steel and textile elements to be realised within the Superformlab: these objects are meant to trigger spatial implications within a specific cultural and architectural context, the interior of the Carlsbergfondet Bygning - Videnskabernes Selskab in the today’s setting.
These objects will be operative in place during the 3 days conference “Early Modern Privacy: Notions, Spaces, Implications” (9-11 April 2019) and, therefore, privacy is the topos from which the critical argument is to be found.
