SEARCHING FOR RHYTHM, DYNAMICS AND SPACE IN THE URBAN FABRIC

Earlier visual structure tasks has been fun in search of the unknown and desired...

It could be useful to work on a drawing over a longer period – to learn to see. As one (ASP) gave name to the theory ”Open Form” in 1959 on the TEAM X-congress of the traces this is row of practicing, from simple expressions of a few elements in a in Otterlo, Nederland. Oskar Hansen has worked directly from this scheme on closed space, to complex expressions in open form with various objects. the different projects him and his wife Zofia Hansen has developed. He evolved and clarified the visual language through his didactic work, and through his visual structure–“form of space”: engagement at the sculptural classes by the Art Akademy in Warszawa. He has advanced the subject visual structure and worked in order to make a dialog in As professor Oskar Hansen taught it – Looking and Seeing, this is training the ability between and to incorporate together the different subjects -space/ landscape/ and of seeing. As with most of the practices in visual structure, this refers to a situation sculpture. Oskar Hansen had introduced the topic, visual structure and taught the already given, or which is created during the process. Looking and seeing – what subject Visual structure at BAS. What makes you choose what you do? Show it! Here at our school we are operating with a term called DAV (Den Andre Verden time–space: = the other World) – DAV is the key to visual understanding. “Visual Structure” is included under this umbrella. Visual Structure is built upon the teaching of that it is important to create a reflected and controlled relationship between person and form, at the artist academy in Warsaw, by the professor Oskar Hansen*. object, seeing the object walking around it. BAS normaly teach visual structure as an introduction to the 1st year students, visual structure–contrasts: and then more advanced courses throughout the 2nd and 3rd year and as group courses in our 2.

Of size, of shape, of heavy and light, all presented visually. visual structure–the concept of pressure and tension Bas X was a master course for a mixed group of people coming from other architect schools from different parts of the world. Alle students had a minimum visual structure–open form, dynamic expression, continuity and simultaneity. of 3 years of architect studies before they came to BAS. In one semester we had to go trough every task BAS-students normally takes from the first to the visual structure–by the great number of elements: third year at BAS. But on the basis of our earlier architect studies we already understood the traditional language of architecture. It was an very interesting Making a great number of identical elements legible by adding more elements in a and challenging learning curve understanding the philosophy and thoughts of visual structure, not taking away existing elements. open form and visual structure. The richness in this expression lies both in the number of elements and in their character. The readability lies in an expanding order by a visual structuring. The quality of all the forms, as well as the richness of the whole, would get lost if we take away elements to make it readable. An open form as this will loose its qualities if the elements were restructured into a geometrical order.)

  1. thank you for summing this up Laura.
    Now think of how you apply this to a 1:1 experiment in Wergeland.
    did you find some interest groups? buy some seeds?
    you've got what it takes - start plotting, prepare for action and jump in!
