Spatial Fragments
“Don’t play what’s there. Play what’s not there” Miles Davis, 1959
The course pursues the development of the idea of space as a concept. Space, when read alone, becomes an abstract word which spells both ambiguity and impenetrability. Yet when associated with a description, i.e. Spiritual Space, Public Space, etc… space immediately becomes tangible and understandable.
Each class of this elective will analyse an articulation of space (fragment), investigating the reciprocity between built and un-built space. The three canons of investigation will be threefold: Matters/Absence/Light.
