To begin, this thesis attunes to the role of drawing in the presence of an event, in locating a protagonist and participant. In a city of forgotten acts, architecture theatricises the everyday through the movements of a performative protagonist who resides in a series of spaces. This sequence of spaces is designed within the city: in two modes that enact the everyday in fragments in the city. One dispersed for the extrovert and one collected for the introvert. Each space becomes a setting for an activity of domesticity: all of which reminds us of the private and intimate conditions of everyday routine. The protagonist inhabits these spaces daily as a performance artist, while the participant takes on the role of an intended visitor, and the public are those drifting through the city in the traces of her treads. A strange poignancy is perceived in the absence of the protagonist's inhabitation; her presence is evident in the remnants of her activity. The architect plays the role of the playwright, the composer of spaces, in this architectural discourse through the practice of making and series of transcriptions between design acts. A catalogue of design exercise orchestrates the thesis through continuous sets of transcriptions that initiate ways of mapping the bodily expressions and gestures of routines through drawings practices which interrogate the body's relation to space and time. By using objects as prop and the city as stage, the components of scale and event create a series of spatial propositions that inspect domestic and private typologies. Drawing and scenography become tools of inquiry, extracting the design and program, in proposing a scheme that highlights the infra-ordinary: the unnoticed poetics of the everyday and the unquestioned spaces of dwelling. The proposed events cast architecture as apparatus, in which narrative and theatre assemble architectural vessels for commentary and holding human behaviour. A fleeting existence passes through the event spaces, drawing attention to the seemingly banal infra-ordinary that is otherwise forgotten and lost. |
