Conceptual Design for a School for Contemporary Craft and Related Technologies in Bitola, Macedonia - A Dialectical Design Approach for the Repurposing of and Existing 19th Century Building, the Former

Pepovska, Eva (avtor), Robinson, Paul O. (mentor)

The two starting points for this thesis are the problematic of cultural descending in the town of Bitola addressed through the programmatic content of the project - a school for contemporary crafts and related technologies, and the many vacant buildings in the town addressed through the selection of the site - an existing 19th century building - the former "Art School of Crafts", with its later warehouse addition. Both artisanal and industrial craft have been a predominant economical factor of Bitola that has declined to a near extinction as a result of the onset of industrial manufacturing and its effects on craftsmanship and industry. Many consider craftsmanship and industry mutually exclusive and separate. Yet, certain industries embody qualities that have arisen from artisanal craftsmanship. Certain problems began to arise at the line where intangible values were lost e.g., diversity, appreciation for aesthetic uniqueness, dedication to quality and dexterity, to the efficiencies and profit proffered by mass production. The conceptual intentions of this project emerged from the location of the existing structures in the town and the relations within it. The school is intended to teach people, of any age, the skills of crafting wood, metals, stone, glass, and clay through an informal approach by facilitating workshops conducted by local and foreign craftsmen.

• Naslov: Idejna zasnova za šolo za sodobno obrt in sorodne tehnologije v Bitoli, Makedoniji - Dialektični pristop k načrtovanju preurejanja obstoječe stavbe iz 19. stoletja, nekdanja

Izvleček

Izhodišči za to delo sta problematika kulturnega nazadovanja v mestu Bitola, ki jo obravnava programska vsebina projekta - šola za sodobno obrt in sorodne tehnologije, ter številne nezasedene stavbe v mestu, ki jih obravnava izbira lokacije - obstoječa stavba iz 19. stoletja - nekdanja "umetniška obrtna šola", s poznejšim skladiščnim prizidkom. V zgodovinskem kontekstu mesta je bila obrt prevladujoča komponenta gospodarstva, ki je zaradi različnih okoliščin v zvezi z industrijo postopoma nazadovala do skorajšnjega izumrtja. Mnogi menijo, da s? obrt in industrija izključujeta, ter tako zavračajo medsebojno povezanost, ki sta jo skozi čas delila. Vendar industrija vsekakor ima številne lastnosti, ki izhajajo iz ideje obrtništva. Določene težave so se začele pojavljati takrat, ko smo v masovni proizvodnji izgubili vrednosti, kot so raznolikost, spoštovanje estetske edinstvenosti, predanost, spretnost. Konceptualne zamisli tega projekta so izhajale iz lokacije obstoječih struktur v mestu in odnosov v njem. Šola bi bila namenjena neformalnemu učenju ljudi vseh starosti o veščinah obdelave lesa, kovin, kamna, stekla in gline z delavnicami, ki bi jih vodili domači in tuji obrtniki.
