The module introduces advanced practice-based methodologies in<br />
critical creative problem solving and communication. Students are<br />
encouraged to explore a range of different art practices. Through<br />
representation of architectural projects and through shifting between<br />
different media – such as drawings, models, video, sculpture, interactive<br />
digital media, installation art – the students learn new ways to identify<br />
questions, to address them, and to communicate to audiences that have<br />
differing understandings of what architecture is or could be. The course<br />
also aims at initiating reflections on the differences and commonalities<br />
between Chinese/Asian and Western aesthetic positions, so as to<br />
facilitate a better understanding of a cultural context’s influence on<br />
positions and expressions in architecture and its relation to questions of<br />
representation.<br />
In this year’s course, texts reflecting thoughts on practice-based<br />
knowledge, on art, design and architecture were read and discussed in<br />
weekly seminars in relation to works of architecture and design, films,<br />
examples of creative writing, and artworks - such as paintings, sculpture,<br />
installations, and performance works, to initiate a critical engagement<br />
with ways of knowing through practice. Through a series of exercises<br />
in the remaking and translation of Architecture, students engaged with<br />
questions of experience, and of documentation and presentation of<br />
spatial principles, as well as with the practices and theories of practice<br />
that are discussed in the weekly seminars. They learnt to understand<br />
this engagement as a form of critical enquiry into architectural practices<br />
of presentation and representation.<br />
