Sense/time_based design

Sense-time_based design Designing the forms of time in contemporary spaces. Keywords: senses, time, digital If the architecture of the 20th century was dedicated to the design of the forms of space, one might think that the architecture of the 21st century is already working on the design of the forms of time. These are temporal architectures within spatial architectures that already exist, but through the design of time are re-functionalized, re-invented, reconstructed to contain all the times of living. A part of the future is already underway in the ways we inhabit spaces, using new media that include simultaneity, ubiquity or the new faster and faster means of transportation that can deform the coordinates of space. Temporal architecture composes other hierarchies than traditional architectural logics because the possibility of subverting the consecutio of spaces means working on the folds of time and the future. The Thesis Incubator Studio (#TIS) investigates 20th century architectural typologies by trying to imagine how a temporal approach to space design might reconfigure or redesign them. The typologies explored so far are museums, residences, stores, offices, therapeutic places, hospitality places, train stations, entertainment places, etc. Methods The methodology of research and project involves the following phases: . typological and functional research. A spatial typology is adopted, and its formal, dimensional, and distributive adequacy is analyzed with respect to its contemporary use. Research of case studies. Research is carried out on a long, medium, and short time span of the life of a space and its potential. . sensory, temporal, and digital analysis. Sensory qualities are analyzed (light, air, flows, materials, soundscape, density, perception, etc.); temporal qualities (on-off, presence, crossing, night/day, etc.); and digital qualities (speed, mode of transport, digital footprint, etc.). . construction of diagrams and chronotopes. Sensory diagrams and chronotopes are constructed on different time frames and digital coordinates are identified that have an impact on the space considered. . Recompositing of functional layouts and flows. Mapping and recompositing of distribution and flow layouts. . Redesign of spaces or redesign of existing spaces. Redesign or design from scratch starting from the intersection of these variables and more. . Monitoring and self-evaluation. Through kpis decided by the designer and agreed upon with communities and clients, the consistency of the project with what was stated at the beginning is self-evaluated. Results The results of the theses developed in #TIS constitute an atlas of spatial chrono-types that derive from an intersection between sensory and temporal analyses and the management and control possibilities made available by the new digital devices in the hands of the inhabitants. From this integration emerge important indications both in design and in the dialogue with clients and inhabitants. An important contribution that also goes in the direction of sustainability in terms of better governance and management of the built heritage available. Bibliography - Barbara, A., (2012).
