The most common perception
of a volcano is of a conical
mountain, spewing lava and
poisonous gases from a crater
at its summit. This describes just
one of many types of volcano,
and the features of volcanoes
are much more complicated.
The structure and behavior of
volcanoes depends on a number
of factors. Some volcanoes have
rugged peaks formed by lava
domes rather than a summit
crater, whereas others present
landscape features such as
massive plateaus. Vents that
issue volcanic material (lava,
which is what magma is called
once it has escaped to the
surface, and ash) and gases

gases) can be located anywhere
on the landform. Many of these
vents give rise to smaller cones
such as Pu’u ‘Ō’ō on a flank of
Hawaii’s Kīlauea.
Other types of volcano
include cryovolcanoes (or ice
volcanoes), particularly on some
moons of Jupiter, Saturn and
Neptune; and mud volcanoes,
which are formations often not
associated with known magmatic
activity. Active mud volcanoes
tend to involve temperatures
much lower than those of
igneous volcanoes, except when
a mud volcano is actually a vent
of an igneous volcano.

A volcano is an opening, or
rupture, in a planet’s surface or
crust, which allows hot magma,
ash and gases to escape from
below the surface. Volcanoes
are generally found where
tectonic plates are diverging or
converging.

Subduction zones are places
where two plates, usually an
oceanic plate and a continental plate, collide. In this case,
the oceanic plate subducts,
or submerges under the continental plate forming a deep
ocean trench just offshore.
Water released from the subducting plate lowers the melting temperature of the overlying mantle wedge, creating
magma. This magma tends to
be very viscous due to its high
silica content, so often does
not reach the surface and
cools at depth. When it does
reach the surface, a volcano
is formed.

These so-called hotspots, for example at Hawaii, can occur
far from plate boundaries. Hotspot volcanoes are also
found elsewhere in the solar system, especially on rocky
planets and moons.

Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and
thinning of the Earth’s crust (called non-hotspot intraplate
volcanism), such as in the East African Rift, the Wells
Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift
in North America. Volcanoes can be caused by mantle
plumes.

Fire and Earth
The Cell
Earthquakes
The cell is the functional basic
unit of life. It is the smallest unit
of life that is classified as a living
thing, and is often called the
building block of life.
An earthquake (also known as
a quake, tremor or temblor) is
the result of a sudden release of
energy in the Earth’s crust that
creates seismic waves.
It was discovered by Robert Hooke and is the functional unit of all
known living organisms. Some organisms, such as most bacteria,
are unicellular (consist of a single cell).
At the Earth’s surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by
shaking and sometimes displacing the ground. When a large
earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed sometimes
suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami. The shaking in
earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic
activity.
Other organisms, such as humans, are multicellular. Humans have
about 100 trillion or 1014 cells; a typical cell size is 10 µm and a
typical cell mass is 1 nanogram.
In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to
describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon
or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves.
Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults,
but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear
experiments. An earthquake’s point of initial rupture is called its
focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter refers to the point at
ground level directly above the hypocenter.
The largest cells are about 135 µm in the anterior horn in the
spinal cord while granule cells in the cerebellum, the smallest, can
be some 4 µm and the longest cell can reach from the toe to the
lower brain stem (Pseudounipolar cells). The largest known cells
are unfertilised ostrich egg cells which weigh 3.3 pounds.[3][4]
In 1835, before the final cell theory was developed, Jan
Evangelista Purkyně observed small “granules” while looking
at the plant tissue through a microscope. The cell theory, first
developed in 1839 by Matthias Jakob Schleiden and Theodor
Schwann, states that all organisms are composed of one or more
cells, that all cells come from preexisting cells, that vital functions
of an organism occur within cells, and that all cells contain the
hereditary information necessary for regulating cell functions and
for transmitting information to the next generation of cells.

Fire and Earth
The Earth’s
internal
structure
The Earth has an outer silicate
solid crust, a highly viscous
mantle, a liquid outer core that
is much less viscous than the
mantle, and a solid inner core.
There are three different
metatypes of eruptions. The
most well-observed are magmatic eruptions, which involve
the decompression of gas
within magma that propels
it forward. Phreatomagmatic
eruptions are another type of
volcanic eruption, driven by a
the compression of gas within
magma, the direct opposite of
the process powering magmatic activity. The last eruptive
metatype is the Phreatic
eruption, which is driven by
the superheating of steam via
contact with magma; these
eruptive types often exhibit
no magmatic release, instead
causing the granulation of
existing rock.
The interior structure of the Earth, similar to the outer, is layered.
These layers can be defined by either their chemical or their
rheological properties.
Scientific understanding of Earth’s internal structure is based on
observations of topography and bathymetry, observations of rock
in outcrop, samples brought to the surface from greater depths by
volcanic activity, analysis of the seismic waves that pass through
the Earth, measurements of the gravity field of the Earth, and
experiments with crystalline solids at pressures and temperatures
characteristic of the Earth’s deep interior.

During a volcanic eruption,
lava, tephra (ash, lapilli, volcanic bombs and blocks), and
various gases are expelled
from a volcanic vent or fissure.
Several types of volcanic
eruptions have been distinguished by volcanologists.
These are often named after
famous volcanoes where that
type of behavior has been
observed. Some volcanoes
may exhibit only one characteristic type of eruption during
a period of activity, while
others may display an entire
sequence of types all in one
eruptive series.

Group A are a medium-sized
architecture and urbanism office
based in Rotterdam. In many
ways they represent the Dutch
architectural practice at its best
– a strong international staff and
an open concept non-hierarchical
workspace. They even hire a chef to
cook up meals for their communal
lunch hour. Showing a great respect
for the architectural legacy of
Rotterdam, they have resurrected
and redeveloped a heritage site in
the port, the Diepeveen, to call their
office home.

How did you find your current studio space and what were
the deciding factors that ultimately led you to choose it as
a space to run your practice out of?
Esempio pagine per la
sezione relativa agli studi
e ai loro progetti.
In terms of representation, how do you fashion your studio
to convey the right message to your clients when they
visit?
— 15 years ago we were looking for an office space. We ended up at
the Diepeveen building, a national monument. The building, formerly the premises of ironware company Diepeveen, was designed
in 1929 by architect W. Kromhout. The prominent tower has a spiralling staircase, which had no function other than advertising the
company name to ships passing on the river and harbours nearby.
The neighbourhood, situated on the outskirts of the city next to
the harbour, is a bit shabby and rough, but it is also an inspiring
place, full of energy, venture and change. This characterizes Rotterdam, as a trade and business city. We like this atmosphere.
— It’s renewing, fresh and light, as the character of GROUP A.
There is a good balance between the monumental character of
the building and the modern refurbishment. This is the message
we radiate to our clients.
In what way do you interact with your surrounding neighbourhood, and are there locational advantages to being in
the neighbourhood you’re in?
— The boldness and intensity of our neighbourhood inspire us
to create more beautiful architecture. In addition, there is an
abundance of ventures in the local area, mostly small cultural
businesses: we are in the middle of inspirational people. For
some projects we like to team up with other enterprises. For example a copywriter next door is working with us on a book at
this moment.
What is your general work method and approach to architecture?
— We have always been motivated by a desire to learn. Working
on different architectural typologies and collaborations with new
clients has always given us the opportunity to develop our skills.
This dialogue, the challenge of the new and the learning process,
which are related, support us to continually make further progress
in our work. Progress and change are at the core of our existence
as architects: nothing is to be considered as static, as an inescapable fact. Our approach of dialogue and exchange of knowledge is
the principle mindset for our office and provides us with the opportunity to approach each design project as a fresh and dynamic
process. The way people live, work, relax is dynamic, which requires an open mind. Because of this attitude GROUP A is able to
think laterally without being restricted. This enables us to clearly
think out of the box and arrive at fresh and unexpected design
solutions that define and expose the essence of the commission.
In what way does the city in which you practice effect
the day-to-day work of the studio and the work that you
produce?
Nothing is to be
“considered
static,
as an inescapable
fact
”
— Rotterdam has a profoundly modern architectural tradition,
mainly because the city centre had to be completely rebuilt after
being destroyed during the Second World War. This also meant a
chance for architects and urban planners to create something altogether new and different. This culture has remained dominant
ever since. Rotterdam is a city that is perpetually changing, in
permanent motion, which is, of course, also at the heart of the
culture of GROUP A.
In terms of functionalism, how do you fashion your studio
to meet the demands of your own particular work method?
How has communication technology changed the way your
studio operates?
— We consider our office space as a manifestation of our approach
and culture: it’s an open space, light and airy. The team effort is
central to GROUP A and the design of this studio. It is an inviting
space, which inspires people to improve their own specific talents,
to develop themselves and the office as a whole. The complete
ovearhaul of the interior is exemplary of the ‘hands-on’ approach
we hold dear: we managed everything - from design straight
through to the execution of the whole project. The end result is
an office with an inspiring atmosphere, in which our colleagues
enjoy their work, can relax, and even cook up a meal together.
— We have always been interested in the progression of communication technology. Besides our website, that shows what we do,
we have our Blog, GROUP A LIVE, that shows the social and
cultural aspects of our studio. Everybody in our office is welcome

Rotterdam as a typical “architectural minded city” has many developers. We are in frequent contact with Rotterdam based institutes
like the NAI (National Architectural Institute) and AIR (Architecture Institute Rotterdam). Amongst other things, AIR organizes
architectural tours, which give people a chance to see buildings
in a different way, and gives us a chance to show our work to the
public.
We have been asked by one of our clients, BP Refinery, to design a
new head office at the refinery terrain in the harbour of Rotterdam.
We had to design a building that was “blast proof”, in itself an interesting challenge. In addition we are thrilled to have a chance to
build in the harbour district, the quintessence of Rotterdam.
At the moment we are realising an office building in the historic
city centre: Blaak 8, commissioned by the developer Blauwhoed.
We are very proud to see our own creation in the middle of the city,
making a change in the skyline of Rotterdam.

BECHARA HELAL
In 2001, the educational curriculum for the students of the School of Architecture at the Université de Montréal was transformed as a Professional Master’s Program in Architecture (M.Arch., 3
semesters, 45 credits) was introduced in addition
to the existing undergraduate Bachelor Program
in Architecture (B.Arch., 6 semesters, 95 credits). In the context of this new graduate program,
which is compulsory to gain membership to the local professional association, the students have to
choose a specialization between six different orientations: Explorations in Architectural Design,
Conservation of the Built Environment, Project
Management, Computer-Aided Design, Urban Architecture, and Building Systems. Following the
pedagogical model of the undergraduate B.Arch.
program, each of these orientations is organized
around a series of teaching studios. It is in this
context that Professor Jean-Pierre Chupin, teacher in charge of the Explorations in Architectural
Design specialization, set up the Ouvroir de Projets Potentiels (OUPROPO), the main teaching
studio for this specialization and the last studio
before the Final Thesis Project which concludes
the academic education for the future professional architects.
However, visiting the OUPROPO and witnessing the uncanny operations of its students, one
would be hard pressed to recognize in this learning space administratively labelled as a studio any
of the usual characteristics or dynamics of the
traditional architectural pedagogical model. Because, as is implied by its name, the OUPROPO is
not studio: it is an ouvroir.

Bechara Helal is a doctoral
student in Architecture at the
Université de Montréal. He
graduated in engineering at
the École Polytetchnique and
holds a Masters in architectural
design. He has worked for
prominent architectural firms
such as Saucier + Perrotte
and is regularly involved in
teaching in graduate studios
in architecture, such as the
OUPROPO studio directed by
Prof. Jean-Pierre Chupin. The
research thesis he currently
works on within the framework
of the L.E.A.P (Laboratoire
d’Étude de l’Architecture
Potentielle) deals with the
notions of experimentation
and the laboratory as mental
and physical spaces for the
production of architectural
knowledge.
Workshops, Studios and Pedagogical Process
The OUPROPO, which can be roughly translated
as Workshop of Potential Projects, is a clear and
direct reference to the OULIPO (Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle), a sub-committee of the Collège de Pataphysique cofounded in 1960 by writer
and poet Raymond Queneau and engineer and
mathematician François Le Lionnais. The word
“ouvroir” in the naming of this experimental literary group is used in the original sense of the
term, namely a “place where many persons work
together, in particular in a military arsenal.” This
definition implies two main characteristics for
this workspace: first, a type of work related to the
manufacture of objects, and second, a structure
of work based on collaboration. In this sense, the
best translation in English of “ouvroir” would be
“workshop” for which the Oxford English Dictionary gives two definitions: “a meeting for discussion, study, experiment, etc., originally in education or the arts, but now in any field” and “a
room or building in which manual or industrial
work is carried on.”
By contrast, a studio is traditionally defined as
“the work-room of a sculptor, a painter or a photographer” (Oxford English Dictionary) or as “a
place for the study of an art” (Merriam-Webster
Collegiate Dictionary). It is a place directly linked
to the artistic field.
Both the workshop and the studio are places of
production and learning, but by comparing them,
one can highlight two major differences.
The first difference touches on the type of work
carried out. The activity in the studio can be seen
Vollor repedi qui il in consequi
occulle ssimusc idundeb
itinctem. Num, ventium, accus
repuda nonecaborum quat
quis dolupta turempedi officte
ndipsam ut fuga.
as focused on the production of a unique artistic
object seen as an end-result. This is in contrast
with the activity that takes place in the workshop, which is concerned less with the result of
the production process than with the industrial
structures that will make possible the production
and manufacture of goods and objects in larger
quantities. In other words, work in the studio
can be best described by the resulting product
whereas work in the workshop is better defined
by the production processes structuring product
manufacturing.
The second difference addresses the relationship between the actors working within the spaces. The studio is where the artist creates in solitary
confinement. If more people work in the studio, it
usually is as part of a hierarchical structure dominated by the central figure of the master who dictates his intentions to his assistants and disciples.
In stark contrast with this “pre-determined vertical chain of authority that works from the top
down” as experimental architect Lebbeus Woods
defines hierarchy, the internal structure of the

The Architects’ Studio

the Inner and Outer World

This essay has its origins in conversations between creativity researcher, author and practicing artist Derek Pigrum and the interior architect and designer Marcus Koerner, in the
ambiance of a traditional Viennese café- a place
that in itself has played a role in the creativity of
artists, writers and architects past and present.
The quotations from Koerner are from his written account that Pigrum has translated from
German. In addition to this are excerpts from
recent interview notes with Koerner.
The reason why so little attention has been
paid to the role of the studio as the site of architectural practice is that, like all such places, it
has the quality of a second nature, of ingrained
habits and an intimate familiarity. We tend to
overlook the role it plays in the extraordinary
creative activity that produces much of our built
environment. The role of the studio space in the
creativity of architects reveals a dependency on
the nature of the place of the studio as an intermediate area, as what Koerner describes as
a ‘switchboard’ between the inner and the outer that promotes the generation, modification
and development of ideas (see Pigrum 2001 and
2009).
The way the architect orders the studio determines the world of things encountered every
day - things ‘readily available’ and ‘ready-tohand’. This essay attempts to show that the studio is a third place between the subjective inner
world and objective external reality. The things

why his M.A. thesis investigated
the uses of architectural
sketching. His particular interest
is the sketching process in art,

workshop can be best described as “a spontaneous lateral network of autonomous individuals”,
in other words, a heterarchy.
The design studio that is found at the core of
architectural education can be traced back to the
French Beaux-Arts tradition and is closely related to the artistic studio model. In the context
of the architectural design studio, the student is
faced with a design problem – usually consisting
of a site and a program. He will work towards the
formulation of an adequate solution to this problem under the guidance of the studio instructor.
Following the hierarchical structure of the artistic studio, the master/teacher is at the centre
of the process and the disciple/student acquires
knowledge by being in contact with this holder of
professional expertise through some kind of osmosis. As Dana Cuff writes, “the studio instructor
will be [the students’] semester-long guide into
the mysteries of design.” Traditional architectural education is largely a repetition of this process of assisted problem-solving, with the student
left alone to build a personal method for solving
20 | StudioSpace | Training Architects
in the studio, the instruments, paper, equipment, tools, materials, drawings and resources,
are at some level of consciousness continually
taken into account. The ‘round-about-us’ of the
studio involves a continual acquaintance and
a preference for certain schemas that enhance
creative possibilities and solutions.
The architect Steven Holl states, ‘My office is
as messy as an artist’s studio but in the mess
I see something that will become a part of my
creative process’ (Krasny, 2009, p.70). The architect Yona Friedman has an ever-expanding
collection of bricole that stretches across the
walls and ceiling of his work space (see Krasny,
2008, pp. 52-57). Bricolage activity in the studio often takes the form of a kind of aside or
displacement activity, a polar relation between
intense activity and the repose necessary to the
architect’s idea generation and development.
Thus, in a sense, bricolage leads the architect
away and then back to his immediate concern.
Pigrum has written about this phenomena and
the relation of gathering and thinking in the
studios and workspaces of writers, composers
and artists (See Pigrum, 2011).
Koerner’s prefers to call his studio his ‘workshop,’ and classifies the objects and images it
contains as follows:
• ‘objects of an informational character
• objects that aid inspiration
• objects that involve representations of
•
•
•
different kinds from photos to sketches
objects that aid unfocused inspiration
objects of a documentary character
objects that serve as tools.
Koerner goes on to state that ‘the overlap between these various objects determines the studio space’. Koerner drew the diagram below to
show the relation of these objects within the
studio.
Koerner states that:
‘at the beginning of a project I gather
information on the one hand in books,
journals, catalogues and so on, and on
the other hand, material directly related to the project such as plans, photos
etc. In this phase of seeking inspiration
the focus is widened to include previous projects, material samples and
found objects as well as autonomous
artistic works’.
These artistic works are most often related to
the theme of time and with a clear compositional character, and according to Koerner, ‘act as
a kind of bridge or coupling device to his idea
generation and development’. On one occasion
quite recently, he brought a small stone to our
meeting stating ‘that it usually lies within view
on his shelf, and acts as a source of inspiration, and, on the rare occasion when I pick it
up, it acts as a kind of coupling in that part of
the process that concerns formal and material
questions’. Whatever way the stone is turned it
has a schematic resemblance to something; now
a crocodile, now a bird.
Koerner states
‘in some ways this stone works like
Freud’s collection of ancient figurines
that he kept in view on his desk. It
leads to a solution without providing
one itself but simply as a means to conduct a first search and to ascertain their
relevance to my present concerns’.
Koerner went on to state that
‘the process of representation leads
to a change in the physical appearance of the studio itself, because now
the relevant photos, newspaper cuttings, sketches, plans and models are
placed in a collage- like arrangement
on panels’. The architect Jon Jerda
adopts much the same procedure when
he states, ‘the colored print-outs that
show local characteristics hang beside
each other, indeed sometimes over each
other, so as to develop solutions to
problems by means of visual clusters of
themes’ (Krasny, 2009, p.75).
architectural problems after having been exposed
to the sometimes similar but often different and
even opposing methods, theories and ideologies
of a multitude of studio instructors.
As Jean-Pierre Chupin notes, this is “a system
that tries to teach architecture but sometimes
forgets to train architects.” It is with this major
limitation of the studio model in mind that Professor Chupin set up the OUPROPO, in 2001 by
exporting the model of the OULIPO in architectural education.
The OUPROPO is not a studio because there is
no architectural problem to solve and therefore
no formal solution to find. As Marcel Duchamp
– himself an OULIPO member – famously stated:
“There is no solution, because there is no problem.” Instead of being confronted by an elaborate program and a physical site, the OUPROPO
student is only given a general theme. Over the
years, the themes have greatly varied, from the
more specific (“The swimming pool as a place of
the body in Montreal” in 2001) to the more general (“The future in three moments: 2027, 2047,
Lefebvre states:
In Koerner’s studio almost all the furniture
and containers are mobile and easily moved
from one place to another such that, according
to his needs, things can be arranged in ways
that facilitate the study and development of the
project. In the sketch he made below only the
table on the left is a permanent fixture.
Koerner states:
‘the surface of my vintage “drawing
machine” can be tilted horizontally;
an aeroplane trolley is used for storage purposes; a serving trolley where
project information and models are
placed; the prototype of a table I designed that is easily assembled serves
to put things on that are not in immediate use. From my desk in my direct line
of vision I have a panel with magnets to
which I can attach pictures, clippings
and other material’
‘Space is continually produced and
reproduced, and as such is to be understood as active: the analysis of the
production of space does not concern
the ordering of material objects and artifacts, but rather the practical, mental
and symbolic in their relation to these
objects’ (in Schmid, 2010, p.321).
As Koerner states ‘the architect’s studio is not
a “frozen’ space” but rather one where every
change within it produces a new configuration
of possibilities and potentialities that presents
us with a range of metaphorical meanings’, a
space permeated by ambiguity, that in its indeterminacy constitutes a space of possibilities
and potentiality and the move from potentiality
to actualization.
Koerner states that, ‘after the transformation
of the studio there usually follows a phase of unfocused seeking for inspiration during which he
listens to music, looks through books and journals, thumbs through magazines, and sometimes watches TV.’ He is particularly interested
in the way the architect Gary Chang conceives
of film because ‘it lets you connect all the key issues you are thinking of, you find the references
much more quickly’, (Krasny, 2009, p.50).
Koerner states:
The philosopher Martin Heidegger (1962) suggests that every entity that is at hand has different conditions of closeness: the ‘present-athand’ where things are not proximally given,
(Heidegger, 1962, p. 135) and the ‘ready-tohand’ where the thing and our immediate concerns converge, (see Pigrum, 2011). Very often
the ready-to–hand of note-paper, newsprint, envelopes or the reverse side of printed matter, is
not only reliably available in the work environment but is something that can be left around,
re-found, recovered or destroyed (see Pigrum,
2009, 2011). These are ways of working based
on an immediate sensory and imaginative

produce links to the experimental stage of the
project, of formal and material relations where
I begin to see something in these objects as
something else’. The studio as a ‘switchboard’
between what is put there and what we need for
our creative concerns, between the inner and
outer world is based on an understanding of the
studio as a variation on what Donald Winnicott
(1971) termed ‘potential space’.
The term ‘potential space’ was coined in the
post-Freudian psychoanalytic theory of Winnicott (1971) on early child development as
having the explanatory power to identify the
roots of human creativity. Winnicott’s theory
has gained adherents from a broad spectrum of
people involved in creative activity (see Pigrum
2009, Nussbaum, 2001 , Giddens, 1991, Rudnynsky 1993, Agamben, 1993). While it is beyond the scope of this essay to address this
theme in any detail, it is of great interest that
Winnicott’s ‘potential space’ is closely linked
to the ‘readily available’, ‘transitional object’,
and dependent on a physical and emotional environment conducive to the mediation between
the inner and outer world that is characteristic
of the architect’s studio. The architect’s studio
is a ‘potential space’ for things that are the intermediate products of creative activity: sketches, concepts, models, reproductions, montages
and other inspirational objects and tools that
serve as discursive media that enrich the information at the disposal of the drafting process.

encounter with the concrete given of the scrap
of paper, or the object.
Lefebvre(1991) developed ideas on space eminently applicable to the architect’s studio. The
architect develops the ability to locate the body
in its immediate surroundings producing over
time a ‘practico-sensory realm’; a dense network of ever-changing relations between the inner and outer that exceeds the Cartesian model of space, divorced from experience, where
things are isolated, static and arranged on lifeless co-ordinates, but rather as a ‘lived space’
that houses objects imbued with meaning, that
makes possible the perception of links and interactions between things, of the wresting of
ideas.
2107” in 2007) or the more technical (“Research
laboratories on the architecture of life” in 2011).
The OUPROPO theme is a general context with
minimum limitations that is seen as a simple pretext for the student to develop a personal understanding of the processes of architecture. This is
done through two successive sets of operations.
Instead of being asked to propose a final formal
solution to a design problem, the student must,
in the first phase, through a series of divergent
explorations, identify a specific research question
based on the proposed theme that will allow him
to build a personal architectural problem. During
the second phase, through a series of convergent
explorations, the student designs the principles
that will structure and frame potential architectural projects in relation with the problem he previously set up. In a way, the OUPROPO students
are similar to the OULIPO authors which Raymond Queneau likened to “rats who build the labyrinth from which they plan to escape”.
By refocusing the attention of the students
away from the dynamics of problem-solving and
‘I do not consider this to be work but
am aware that all the time I keep the
first phases of idea development in
view. This was also the time in which I
think of the project as ‘transportable’,
because it is uppermost in my mind and
can be carried around as a tangible representation. In this phase I also talk to
other people, not architects, about the
project. Conversations that involve the
‘sketch on a serviette’ where, as I talk
and draw, new ideas come to mind’.
A colleague of Alvaro Aalto reported that he,
‘considered these “napkin sketches”, as having,
‘just as important a role as the ones made on
the plain backs of the packages of his favorite
cigarettes’ (ibid, 2009, p.17).
During this phase Koerner states, ‘that other
objects related to my personal history take on
a renewed significance because these objects

”
Koerner states:
‘I use prototypes and developmental
models, visualizations, project information from past commissions and
pieces of art to document my work.
These can serve as information and
inspiration for future projects or as
the basis for the further development
of ideas that were never realized, or
only partially completed, but are also a
mode of introspective exploration’.
Denis Scott Brown talks about ‘the long history of the office in the form of sketches, plans,
models, slides, collected objects and publications’ (Krasny, 2009, p.127) or ‘the interaction
of the existing and its potential’ (ibid). In Koerner’s view ‘this gives rise to a kind of museum of one’s own production in the real sense
of communication. The knowledge gained from
this documentary research activity flows into
new tasks providing a foothold for further work’
Koerner states that, in his studio:

Come si testano i
terremoti
1.
LA TAVOLA VIBRANTE
A.
Tavola vibrante
Slitta superiore
Ogni tavola misura 24 metri
quadrati. La caratteristica
principale è quella di riuscire a
lavorare con le 4 tavole separate
(due coppie di 70 e 30 ton) per
testare strutture come ponti e
strade. In ogni caso possono
unirsi formando un unica tavola
vibrante dalla capacità di 200 t
Ogni slitta scorre su quella
immediatamente inferiore in virtù di
un sistema di sostentamento
idraulico.

La mappa dei terremoti
Il sistema di tavole vibranti è
caratterizzato da 2 tavole a pianta
quadrata con lato 3 m del peso di 63
ton l’una, spostabili sul piastrone in
modo da simulare effetti di
asincronismo dell’azione sismica PLACCA
