Dramaturgy and Choreography of Architecture

In collaboration with SED-network members Reuven Halevi - theatre and cinema director - and choreographer Michael D’auzon we are deepening a narrative, dramaturgical, choreographical and visual editing art contribution to SED’s experience design:

towards a dramaturgy of architecture

experience design meets the architecture of narration and body expression; intentional behaviors lasting in time and space face the daily living flow.

 

We cannot stand the way a city is conceived and lived.

We cannot stand the way a city is conceived and lived.

We cannot stand the way a city is (not) conceived and lived.

ATTENTION vs DISTRACTION

FORMAL ARTICULATION vs NOISE

INTERACTION vs RUNNING AWAY

An expanded notion of landscape requires a new set of tools in order to describe it and plan its transformations. How to design city cultural landscapes and the interaction between man and architecture through narrative and symbolic arts.

Symbolic tools for a new city planning.

Operative lines of reflection for an experience urban re-design,

- deterministic interaction: inquiries, information and entertainment;

 

- street and urban signals: a study for private and public communications through visual and audio signals (static and cinetic);

 

- multichanneling sound diffusion; locations/denotation, representation/functions, expression/possible behaviors;

 

- environmental interaction and the perception of a living extended public and private body;

 

- immersiveness as a direct communication tool: MEDIA OASIS. Strategic location of symbolic languages landmarks;

 

- media narrations suggests experience behaviors: radio cultural noise masking programs and poetical narrations of the city life;

 

- collecting multimedia narrations of the transfigured perceptual lives: aesthetic genesis from bottom up. Setting up of systematic archives of “city life witness statements”;

- acoustic mapping. Acoustic typological areas; acoustic planning;

- social and public utilities: i.e. financial redistribution to the artists community and arts schools community of publicity incomes and profits due to the commercial communication activity and sponsors visibility services.
