Multiplicity
Building Material

Multiplicity refers to a plurality of facets, implications and ramifications any question, even seemingly simple, can have. This layered reality, if fully embraced, verges on hyper-complexity, but can also be considered a productive entanglement, a richness.

HS19 - Now and Then #3
Sicily
Writing an Island

Sicily. The island has been a much coveted centre of the region for millennia: a crossing point between Africa and Europe, between Eastern and Western Mediterranean.

HS19 - Denkraum #5
Empathy
Building double

Empathy is the ability to project oneself into someone else’s position and take their perspective for a while. An understanding based on the temporary weakening of the limit between oneself and ‘the other’.

HS18 - Now and Then #2
Marrakesh
Scenography of a city

Marrakesh. Layer after layer, a complex ground has been assembled, serving as a base for a country currently contemplating its diverse heritage: the Arab, the Berber, the European within.

FS19 - Denkraum #4
Ambiguity
Building Giotto

Ambiguity. The capacity of an individual object or idea to be perceived in multiple ways. A status which can be seen as unclear and confusing, or as valuable in its complexity and richness.

FS18 - Now and Then #1
Athens
(New) beginnings

Athens. In a city where the—literally—towering bygone days are always looming above the city, we wish to look at the present condition of Greece in the light of its past.

HS18 - Denkraum #3
Consistency
Building constraints

Consistency. This semester we will adopt the attitude of consistency. We will explore how we could actually free architecture by tightening its rules even more.

FS 18 - Denkraum #2
Exactitude
Building character

Exactitude. An attitude orienting choices towards decisiveness, a posture in which everything is weighed, measured, examined and determined.

HS17 - Denkraum #1
Optimism
Building Europe

Optimism. Can we use this term without feeling embarrassed? It seems naive and light-hearted. Can it be appropriate today? We believe so.
