Geometries of Time

In this transdisciplinary design-driven approach, the process of diagrammatisation allows for thinking how concepts, techniques, and technical objects work - how they engage with the environment, landscape, associated milieu - rather than what they are or represent - it enables to explore them through technicity.

Accordingly, architectural diagrammatisation is understood as material-discursive practice which is not isolated from theory but is intertwined with it. Theory is not instrumentalised to justify practice, but rather the production of concepts (that is, theory) and the production of spatio- temporal configurations, designs, and compositions (generally understood as practice) run in parallel, or more precisely, are entangled. Lastly, the diagram is trans-spatial and trans-temporal, allowing to cut across and link different spatial and temporal coordinates.

The audiovisual installation, in turn, is a continuation of the process of diagrammatisation, whereby the audience becomes part of it. Sound, light, video projections, drawings, and scale models are all employed to understand architectural space in terms of operations and intensive properties, and allow for a multidirectional mode of abstraction, composing spatio-temporal manifestations in a dynamic, instant, and real-but-abstract way.
