Metodologija raziskovanja prostora skozi skico – risanje kot način mišljenja arhitekture

Stell Pičman, Margerita Voulissa (author), Ostan, Aleksander (mentor), Čeferin, Petra (comentor)

Magistrska naloga odgovarja na problem, s katerim se soočamo tako v procesu študija arhitekture kot tudi v arhitekturni praksi: opuščanje prostoročne risbe kot medija za razmišljanje o arhitekturi in oblike mišljenja arhitekture. Naloga zagovarja arhitekturno risbo kot avtonomno orodje za razvijanje arhitekture, ki lahko postavlja uhojeno arhitekturno prakso pod vprašaj in odpira možnost za njeno preoblikovanje v skladu s spreminjajočim se časom. Vpliva torej in soustvarja grajeno arhitekturo. Opuščanje risbe povezujem z opuščanjem iskanja pomenljivih prostorov. To pa so tisti prostori, za katere si je treba in vredno prizadevati. Zaključno delo sestavljata uvodni teoretični del in praktični razmislek o arhitekturi v mediju risbe. V uvodnem delu je skiciranih nekaj fragmentov zgodovine risbe in nakazan razvoj arhitekturne skice. Izpostavljenih je nekaj primerov iz obdobja poznega 18. stoletja, ki so redefinirali vlogo risbe, nato je povzet pojem avtonomije arhitekture kot pomemben pojem (tudi) za razmišljanje o arhitekturni risbi, uvodni del pa je zaključen s prikazom stališč enega modernega in dveh sodobnih arhitektov Edvarda Ravnikarja, Juhanija Pallasme in Alvara Size, ki v svojem delu kažejo na pomen prostoročnega risanja za razvoj pomenljivega prostora. Osrednji del naloge predstavlja dokazovanje pomena risbe v arhitekturi kot orodja in oblike mišljenja v moji lastni praksi risbe in refleksije te prakse v mediju besede. To je neke vrste odgovor na obravnavano problematiko: grajenje imaginarnega sveta v iskanju pomenljivih prostorov. Prikazani so sklopi skic, kategoriziranih glede na vrsto prostora, ki ga skica raziskuje in namero oziroma usmerjenost posameznika tekom tega procesa. V zaključku naloge so predstavljene štiri metode risanja, ki so bile razvite z namenom, da arhitektom služijo kot orodje za raziskovanje imaginarnega sveta, preko katerega lahko iščejo podobe pomenljivega prostora. Poudariti je treba, da kategorizacija skic nima absolutno začrtanih meja, temveč služi lažjemu razumevanju predlaganih metod.

• Title: A methodology for exploring space through sketching - drawing as a way of thinking architecture

Abstract

This Master’s thesis addresses a problem faced in both architectural education and practice: the neglect of freehand drawing as a medium for thinking about architecture and as a form of architectural thought. The thesis advocates for architectural drawing as an autonomous tool for developing architecture, one that can question established architectural practice and open possibilities for its redefinition in a changing era. Thus, it influences and co-creates built architecture. I link the abandonment of drawing with the abandonment of the search for meaningful spaces. These are the spaces that are worth striving for. The final thesis consists of an introductory theoretical part and a practical reflection on architecture through the medium of drawing. The introductory part outlines some fragments of the history of drawing and indicates the development of the architectural sketch. It highlights some examples from the late 18th century that redefined the role of drawing, then summarizes the concept of architectural autonomy as an important concept (also) for thinking about architectural drawing. The introductory part concludes with a presentation of the views of a modern and two contemporary architects— Edvard Ravnikar, Juhani Pallasmaa and Alvaro Siza—who, in their work, demonstrate the importance of freehand drawing for the development of meaningful space. The central part of the thesis demonstrates the significance of drawing in architecture as a tool and a form of thought within my own drawing practice and the reflection on this practice in the medium of words. This is a kind of response to the problem under consideration: building an imaginary world in search of meaningful spaces. It presents sets of sketches, categorized according to the type of space they explore and the intentionality or orientation of the individual during this process. In the conclusion, four drawing methods are presented that were developed to serve architects as a tool for exploring the imaginary world, through which they can seek images of meaningful space. It must be emphasized that the categorization of sketches does not have absolute boundaries but serves to facilitate the understanding of the proposed methods.
