Design manifesto

Spatial qualities beyond the program work as an architectural installation.

We see the plot as an public node, an interactive space. As it is not a centre

in the terms of logistics, it can be an alternative public centre, a sub centre

with a characteristic theme. After the given character we can add the building,

the space will be holding an identity.

The characteristics of the site will be given by the installation. It is targeted

to students. We should connect this group with the site in a new way, we should

not repeat the functions in the city or in the campus. It is possible to guide them

to the place, by making it more visible for example if they pass by.

We can seek for alternative spatial qualities in Delft and in the architectural

context of today. To make this place meaningful and adaptable for any moment we

are proposing to do something with time. The technological means to achieve this

Henri Bergson, the author of 'Matter and memory'

Our philosophical position is related to Bergson's concepts about the time - the

conflict about the measurable time and the real time, the mathematical and the

duration itself.

We are looking for a possibility to build public space, that connects the past

and the present. We are also seeking for the means to integrate the speculation

of the future in a certain way. We want to make the users aware of time.

Through memories.

Our aim is to create the space with the memory. The memory is the repetition

of the moment - a repetition after a measurable duration.

When the measurable duration follows the rhythms of the users, it is creating

and interactive relationship between the space and the user. Daily, Weekly,

Monthly and Annual repetitions can be seen as urban phenomena.

The users visit the place to record themselves, they record there Friday night

actions to laugh at themselves next week. On birthdays, campus days, new year's

evenings, and on every other annual event our space has the last years presence.

The space starts to function in the same rhythm as the student life in the campus.
