During the studio we work on contemporary architecture. Along the three themes as mentioned above, the ambition is to create a project which activates a “threefold presence”: it articulates a dealing with the presence of the past, the presence of the present and the presence of the future in one singular moment “. We explore this idea, once coined by the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur, by means of architecture. The studio is divided into three parts: for a start a clear geometric diagram will be developed, by means of section and/or plan for the interior: building up a clear spatial narrative. Subsequently, the diagram is confronted with the context, the plot, and in the end the formal aspects are charged with a material layer.
