Architectural Design III: 333%. - (P)re-Zu-rich (J. De Vylder)

Abstract

In semester HS / III, a simple exercise will explore the development of the same program in the two different contexts of NEW-USE and RE-USE. On a given free plot versus a given build plot, the same project will be designed. In the FS / IV semester, the same simple exercise will test the results of the previous semester on a subsequent change.

Objective

It is clear. As good as the whole realm is on track on Re-Word today, a critical moment must be ambitioned. But not just to be critical. But to give the idea of Re-Prefix a chance to go beyond the tendency and give a chance for a truly different Future of Attitude. And not just a Pragmatic Future, but a Future to Dream about. d-RE-AM. About.

The 333% studio is a studio on the scale of the BA SEM III & IV expectations. At the same time, the 333% studio is part of a broader ambition shaped by the title 3.33% 33.3% 333%. In fact, these 3 sets of 3 numbers are 3 different studios but sharing the same interest 3 times. The interest of RE-USE. In the 33.3% and 3.33% studio - MA SEM I, II and III - the idea of economy, ecology and ergonomics is explored with a gesture of 3.33% or 33.3% of the normal 100% investment. A true belief in the under-explored capacity to really do less. Or said: needing less. The 333% studio takes the perspective across two semesters - HS / III and FS / IV. In semester HS / III, a simple exercise will explore the development of the same program in the two different contexts of NEW-USE and RE-USE. On a given free plot versus a given build plot, the same project will be designed. In the FS / IV semester, the same simple exercise will test the results of the previous semester on a subsequent change. Both projects from the previous semester will be challenged with a new program, twice each time. One can say: it is a matter of RE-USE - semester FS / IV - of the RE-USE and the NEW-USE - semester HS / III -. We introduce the word (P)RE-USE here since the NEW USE - semester HS / III - will still be tested in its first concept for its ability to be prepared for the next RE-USE. Likewise, the RE-USE project will be evaluated for its ability to change once more. We will talk about many more RE-PREFIX words. The RE-WORD - once started with the word RE-USE - is everywhere and always today. The RE-word is omnipresent and in many ways. Many RE-words have now been found and defined. And many more must and will be added. Never is it a play on words. Always it is another angle. Or to explore the idea more and more. And to discover yet another entrance. re-use re-store rest-ore re-pair re-act re-cycle re-care re-accept re-sumptions re-compress(ions)* re-economy* re-love re-leave re-less re-confirm re-silience re-vive re-live re-veal un-re-vel re-collage re-configurate re-observe re-call re-read re-focus re-draw re-practice re-detail re-invent re-question re-strategy re-confront re-venture re-re At all. We will find out together that in the end, taking into account all these RE-WORDS, it is and will be more a matter of RE-ATTITUDE. USE words in account. Attitudes must be changed. At all. RE-THINKING-RE is the alter ego of the 3.33% 33.3% 333% studios. If we are not critical, RE-ERA may only be a trend, but in fact it is and will always be an eternal URGE. The urge of u-R-g-E. It is clear. As good as the whole realm is on track on RE-WORD today, a CRITICAL moment must be ambitioned. But not just to be CRITICAL. But to give the idea of RE-PREFIX a chance to go beyond the tendency and give a chance for a truly different FUTURE of ATTITUDE. And not just a PRAGMATIC FUTURE, but a FUTURE to DREAM about. d-RE-AM.
