our being under light and enlightenment

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/oberlichtsaal-gallery 4/27
1. How relevant is the geometrical form of OLS from the Bauhaus aspirations it contains?
form vs. condition
2. How are intellection at eyelevel and spatiality related?
the intellectual third skin
3. How is the skylight (literally Oberlichtsaal) signicant to the Bauhaus enlightenment?
light & enlightment; the enlightening sequel
4. How can we integrate emancipating ideas into a continually progressing modernization internationally?
the open-source digitalization of exhibition; digital modernity
5. how to capture our environment, know where we are in relation to light & technological parameters of today?
analytical deconstruction of the present scene; unity of experience
Questions
the brief involves the following question:
to be elaborated in project description

Approach
a. the fundamental/ analytical nature of questions
b. the essential rationale
c. ergonomics of design, ‘as little design as possible’ - axonometric plan section elevation
d. usage denes its meaning, core to modern functionalism;anti-metaphor / anti-parametricism. What can an installation do for the Bauhaus Jubilee?

project description
„The Bauhaus was an idea, and I believe that the huge inuence that the Bauhaus had in the world may be due to the very fact that itwas an idea.“ Mies van der Rohe (1953)1
The “Staatliches Bauhaus“ was founded in Weimar in 1919 under the manifesto, ‘the ultimate goal of all art is thebuilding’. It explains the school’s mission to overcome the limits of disciplines and the fragmentation of modernism.Much in accordance with the modernists’ trial towards modernity, ideas at the Bauhaus had expanded, evolved andrenewed. Nevertheless, the underlying belief of the Bauhaus remains clear - a forward-looking rationalization of de-sign towards an inclusive modernization, impact of which considered as relevant as ever.
The Oberlichsaal has housed the history of the Bauhaus: a classical, skylight-litted gallery space designed by the pre-Bauhaus functionalist architect Henry van Velde. The Oberlichsaal gallery was where the 1923 Bauhaus exhibitiontook place, an exhibition showcasing the Bauhaus as a “laboratory of modernism”.
The short yet turbulent existence of the historical Bauhaus in Weimar has left its traces on the Bauhaus-UniversitätWeimar today. As we leads up to the centennial foundation in 2019, how can we possibly take the 1923 exhibitionas a point of departure, thus arriving at a point of new vigor and insight? Of all goals of art and all emancipating ideasof the Bauhaus, how can we critically assessed the potentials of these ideas, through our existence in functional builtform? What would distinguish a mythologization of a legacy, from an active evaluation, continued experimentation of
the unnished ideas?
The brief asks for a pavilion whose design be inspired by the 1923 exhibition at Oberlichsaal. Several reciprocal relati-onship between space and aspirations must rst be dened.

1. conditionWhat constitutes the essence of the Oberlichsaal? Its condition: a well-lit exhibition under diffused skylight; an ideallighting condition for exhibiting ideas. What constitutes the Bauhaus then? This brings us back to its all-time belief:the rationalization of design towards an inclusive modernization; an effort to put art, design, architecture and modernlife on a logical footing, in the spirit of Enlightenment that continues to the day of Rational Modernism.
2. the intellectual third skinSpatiality and intellection should not be mutually exclusive, as in the case of typical, two dimensional curatorial de-sign at eyelevel. What if an exhibition and its intellectual contents can surround us holistically, invokes all our meta-
physical as well as sensual understanding?
3. Light and enlightenmentEtymological meaning (light as a source of idea) aside, light connotes an enlightened conditon, when all understan-dings are clear and transparent. What if we can bring together light and enlightenment in one?
4. digital modernityThe challenges of our day has changed from the time of the Bauhaus. A mythologization of a legacy will deem us irre-levant; instead, a inclusive, extensive examination crossing spatiality, industrialization and digitalization, will bring us
to a more relevant response to the needs of today. We do not imitate the historical Bauhaus. We think Bauhaus.
5. safeguard thinking, quietude, creative activity of the individual and the broad practical work of the worldIn our time we do not run short of futuristic experiments. Nevertheless, how can we invest our creative activity in thelogical and meaningful areas, lest repeating the failures of past wishful thinking? An answer could be - an alignment ofour being and the world. To safeguard our existential thinking might be the most important task for architects today.

The Design
Why do we need an installation at all? What can an installation do?
An installation has its inherent limits. It cannot take the necessary role of publication nor manifesto. However, it couldprovide the best venure for our thoughts; in philosopher Martin Heidegger‘s term, space as spatium that opens up its-elf, let into the dwelling and being of men. Unlike any tectonic installation that lacks an insightful message, the designdeals with the emergence of an idea under light, and serves as a perception sharpener for the pedagogy of new desig-ners.
A site-specic installation in the Oberlichsaal Gallery. The design can be discussed in three parts –window as light bo-xes through a reoccurring appearance, the medial projection of an augmented presence, and the happenings aroundthe exhibition.
First, a long and wide strip of white fabric (2.5m(w) x 17m(l) ) forms a loop within the room; words are written on itin white sign-pen. Fabric lies in front of side and sky windows. The fabric moves slowly and gently controlled by rollerchain and gear. Whenever the content emerges in front of the window, the windows serve as a light box. Otherwisecontent is less visible.
Second, the fabric should be connected to a timber frame and base structure. The base serves as a light box/ over-head-projector simultaneously. Graspable objects will be held in hands and displayed. A real-time 3D scanner ordepth channel sensor to scan and lter the scene layer by layer. Digitalization of the exhibition content and an inter-
nationally connected exhibition.
Third, since the installation is mainly a blank fabric loop, it is expected to showcase only one artist/designer/architect’s work at once. He or she is expected to be present, and to pick, display and discuss his or her work withthe audience. The entire setting is much like a performance and live discourse. The artist has the creative freedom toexhibit whatever content.

Rationale
e. art & design - act of reectingreality through the artistic artefacts;a new design to connect the tactileand the visual
b. how might our presence in space(Oberlichtsaal) integrates spatiality
and intangible aspirations?
skylight
wall window
d. window as the light box; revealmessage written in white on blankcanvas; canvas slowly rotating;messages could be cleaned withalcohol
f. overhead projector/ depth channel reader: thescene of us grasping and engaging with artefactsis de-layered into an exploded axonometric. rst,our hands, then our work, design context... a newcomprehension
a. the design should search forpossibility beyond passive looking
at eyelevel
c. contrary to passive looking, a looping,fragmented content created by our own
imaginations and thoughts

FEEDBACK AND INTERACTION -students/professors each shares halfof the canvas, evaluate each other‘sdesign process; discuss explodedaxonometric, architectural model,design...etc. as if the explorationprocess on tracing paper is nowunfolded
Scenario
LECTURE -academic speech brought creativeand engaging. as a long speech orpresentation can be made moredigestable and be projected onthe canvas, a poetic yet lively andaccessible intellectual environmentis created.
IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION/ENFRAMINGenhance the sharp yet thin nature of themembrane, a gradient colour or projectionto play with light contrast and an enhancedperspective.
