Thematic Studio 1 | Digital Studio | Soundscapes
[5
credits]
Tutors: Visiting Professor : Arch. Christophe DM BARLIEB, Digital Workshops Coordinator : B. Des, M.A. Efrat GILBOA, Theoretical Seminar : Dr. Noa GEDI
Prerequisite: Introductory Studio
Purpose of the course: Experimental use of digital
tools. Acquiring systemic thinking and developing the perception of
built space. The act of design as a product of parametric analysis and
its essence. Conceiving the computer as a design interface used to
conceptualize composition and create spatial structures.
Subjects of study: The studio focuses on design
processes derived from theoretical and pragmatic concepts in the digital
media. The study process is based on a series of exercises studying
spatial transformation over time in set territories, movements, and the
transference of forces. In a sequence of exercises, the students test
the translation of fundamental concepts of digital media to a model and
to a virtual context in interior space. The virtual context serves as a
central tool in determining a conceptual design, space configuration,
movement, composition of different typologies of interior space and
presentation. Three dimensional models, animation, simulation and
digital analysis are used as tools for design, documentation, and
presentation of space.
Methodology: The theoretical seminar accompanying
the design studio provides conceptual analysis of key ideas relevant to
the general themes and the broader understanding of digital tools in
design; it is based on selective reading from the course bibliography
and joint in class discussions with the participation of the studio
instructors. The primary goal is to develop analytical skills for the
articulation and presentation of the conceptual elements involved in the
design process, as well as elaborate on the design intent in writing. A
series of exercises in design and simulation of complex spaces leads to
a final project based on a virtual model as a design idea: 8 hours
weekly of studio, introductory lectures, seminars and individual
instruction.
Grading: 30% Script illustrations documenting the
design process, 20% active participation in seminar sessions and
submission of written assignments, 40% portfolios (Design Development),
10% attendance.

Etude #1 : The Color of Sound
Analysis / Research
Tutors:
Visiting Professor: Arch. Christophe DM BARLIEB
Digital Workshops coordinator : B. Des, M.A. Efrat GILBOA
Theoretical Seminar : Dr. Noa GEDI
Task:
The properties of sound appear to extend well beyond the physical
realm. Sound may play a major role in our everyday well-being. The task
of the first exercise researches a special feature attributed to sound.
The exercise should not merely playback a sound recording it must be
analytical.
By analysis or analytic we mean: looking into the sample to explore
possible logical structures, flavors, patinas, qualities, relationships,
etc.
It should include the following qualities:
•
Poetical
•
Emotional
•
Philosophical
•
Architectural
•
Atmospherical
You are to define those features and present them visually and
precisely; communicated to us in written, visual and verbal form. We are
interested in your conceptual and analytical approach to the research
and therefore encourage you to think outside the box. Most importantly
please choose an element of sound that you feel connected to, this may
help you overcome the difficulties in tackling such an abstract concept.
Please prepare a 5mins slide show of your research in Adobe PDF and
or PowerPoint PPT format and please be sure to embed the sound source
into the presentation. Please carefully craft your presentation so it
reflects the qualities of the research and the element of sound you’ve
chosen.
Etude #2 : Source
Code
Symbolic & Syntactic Research
Tutors:
Visiting Professor: Arch. Christophe DM BARLIEB
Digital Workshops coordinator : B. Des, M.A. Efrat GILBOA
Theoretical Seminar : Dr. Noa GEDI
Task:
Language is a system of linguistic signs or symbols, the abstract
form of speech used to communicate and articulate concepts, emotions,
thoughts, etc. The second study focuses on developing an
individual language, a Source Code
encapsulating the Colors of Sound. The new language requires you to
discover its syntax and vocabulary.
The transformation of your initial research and idea may require
exploring time based Soundscapes versus punctuated
ones leading us towards mapping the visual syntax of the code
onto a specific site.
The purpose of the exercise is to familiarize you with logic and the
construction or formulation of logical systems.
We expect you to submit a series of drawings
revealing the language / source code generated using digital tools.
In addition, please be sure to print your work on A2 (Vertically).
Your digital presentation should feature your research process.
Etude #3 : Digital Mapping
Time Based Events
Tutors:
Visiting Professor: Arch. Christophe DM BARLIEB

Theoretical Seminar : Dr. Noa GEDI
map⋅ping
-noun
1.
the act or operation of making a map or maps.
2.
Also called correspondence, map, mapping, transformation. a relation
between two sets in which one element of the second set is assigned to
each element of the first set, as the expression y = x2; operator.
The act of mapping events, spaces, coordinates, forces, etc. should be
familiar to you. We are introducing two sites located within Tel Aviv’s
busy landscape: One is situated to the north along the “natural”
Hayarkon River; it functions as a multi-layered bridge and border (Namir
Bridge).
The second is located at Arlozorov-Savidor Central Train
Station. It could be perceived as a skywalk over the mechanical river of
Israel flowing from the north to the south of the country.
Task:
You are to select one of these sites and fully document it over the
course of 24hrs in 4D space using digital mapping techniques and
concepts familiar to you found in Greg Lynn’s text Animate Form. The
exercise should submitted by 18.11.09.
Transient urban spaces
2 Bridges | Natural River | Mechanical River
15.11.09 – 18.11.09
24 hrs Site Documentation should include snap shots, movies, sound
recordings
site drawings | site plan, tunnel plan, sections, etc.
22.11.09 – 25.11.09
Digital Mapping Process | Time based tracing based on Digital tools
2.12.09 – 6.12.09 | Mid Presentation
All of the materials must be submitted on December 2nd.
Midterm Presentation: Submission

Theoretical Seminar : Dr. Noa GEDI
6.12.09 – 9.12.09 | Midterm Presentation
All of the materials should be submitted by the studio on December the
6th.
The list of presenters will be determined by the tutors.
4 boards / posters | A2 Format (Vertical) | one for each phase:
Etude #1 – The Color of sound
Etude #2 – Notation
Etude #3 – Mapping (2 boards) | Emphasis on 4D time based documentation,
evolution etc + 2 Conceptual sections + 1 conceptual plan, regarding
the selected site proportions.
The information displayed over your boards should be coherent and
reflect clearly the essence of each phase, research and development as
well, including (selectively) Sketches, Drawings, Inspirations, Key
Concepts, Schematic diagrams; Graphical language should represent your
conceptual idea.
3D conceptual Model
3D conceptual model generated with laser cutter. The model should extend
your time-based research on the selected site, site proportions and
dimensions; you can also generate a sequence of models.
Conceptual Text
Report No 1: You will be asked to describe conceptually (in writing and
in accordance with the MLA system) the phase of research you are at, in
light of a theoretical framework, a methodology and relevant terms and
concepts and to draw initial conclusions from this phase as a basis for
further investigation. You will be required to refer to the texts we
have discussed (Lynn and Grosz). Further and more specific instructions
will be given separately on the Wednesday seminar.
Digital Presentation
Digital slideshow (PPT / Adobe PDF Formats) including relevant
additional materials, sounds embedded inside (please verify that it
works properly before you present).
It is highly recommended to separate each phase with a blank headline
slide and to correspond with your poster’s design language.
Web Documentation – Blogs | Ruby 70
All the above materials (including posters documentation, sound files
etc.) should be located at December the 6th on Ruby 70 in a personal
folder, and of course uploaded to the blog as well.
Good Luck!
