Beskrivelse

The superformlab workshop Space Oddity addresses the overall semester theme of Production and Practice. In this workshop, we find, interrogate, manipulate and/or create new material constructs that perform as an agency for the (re)production of space. Our point of departure, at Spatial Design, is the interior or rather interiority which we perceive not only as a field dedicated to a specific profession of interior designers or architects but also as a practice that involves different actors and conditions: different cycles of economies, cultural preferences, historical background, political calculations, technological advancements, climatic adaptations, uses’ appropriations and so forth. Questioning how the interior space, or rather space itself, is produced (and produces) through this wider lens, we aim to develop a series of spatial elements focusing on the relation between the production of spaces and material practices.
The workshop focuses on the design/production of a series of ceramic, plaster, and concrete 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 Vor Frue Kirke in the today’s setting. These objects will be operative in place during from the 24 February to 20 March 2020.
In the 3 weeks of the workshop you are asked to approach the complexity of the religious architecture of Vor Frue Kirke, detecting the reciprocal influences of the Christian liturgy with the C.F. Hansen’s concept of space: 1) recognising the material traces left by the enacting of the rituals on different scales; 2) registering the chosen trace adopting the most appropriate technique; 3) solidifying the trace registration into a material element in 1:1 scale, and: 4) finally, exhibiting the piece within the same church, triggering a spatial relationship with the chosen micro-context.
