Narrative structure in architecture? tangible intangible Room Movement Ground light & Dark Walls Rough & Smooth Character of architecture Percy Pithawala's Constructivist approach Thresholds of art and architecture As the Russian constructivist architecture is a narrative of revolution such that revolutionary narratives lead from art and literature to architecture. Abstract (One ofthe fundamental concepls of modem architectural theory isthe idea that architecture isa form of language. IFnarratves ‘exist as Ronald Barthes ond others concludes, as a written, oral, visual discourse in an ‘infinite diversity of forms, then architecture ‘ond cities become agents that can be studied for their narrative significance ino presented or mediated form as unmediated ‘existence ie. actual space Thus fo examine how the ordering mechanismsin literature and ar can informs the Development of Experience in Architecture actions objects movements eile 4 Bernard Tschumi’s Book the Manhattan transcript se! of heoretel drawings developed between 1978 ond 1981 Tschumi uses the ‘tiportite mode of notation’: movement, event, and space. His work revolves around the aspects of sequence/ program ofthe images, the movements that occur from the sequence and the form that comes of The inlent seems to be to explore architectural narrative os something other than an architectural encoding of writen text - ie. e native language for architecture based onspace and eventsrather than form! or function’ Wassily Kandinsky’s Book Point line to Plane The theory Point and line to plane, he explored the interrelation between color, form, line direction and intensity ofthe pointio create an aesthetic experience. In this way the artist engaged the sight, sound and emotions of he public. The theory about points, dots create @ reference point in relation tothe space around ita line is el about movement. The line con diect you towards and move you away from point. However, he figures motion as an element itself without invariably representing that which moves or has moved ing pa Wassily Kandinsky’s Book Kandinsky’s development of mastery over the Expression of Motion intrigues me to work alongside Tschumi’s definitions of Movement and Space in architectural representation Ultimately it generates the exercise to see simple forms and images of expression, the skill which becomes essential when forming and manifesting a narrative, specially in age of information and communication. Aim To investigate the art & literature expressiveness, such that it leads to generate a process for tural design and thinking. Objectives To identify the threshold between art and architecture To identify the traces between the theory and design praciice in Parc Lo Villette by lschumi To analyze the narrative theme from the book ‘The Manhatan lranscrip’ & ‘Point & line to Plane’ To derive a patterns from abstraction in form of illustrations and models To observe and analyze the spaces through the lens ‘of derived process Research Questions Does Narrative fulfills the gap between Fiction and fictional? How narrative os part supports the detailing of space How linear and nor-linear understanding would help figure out what is missing in todays narration for architectural future? What is manifestation of intellectual and experiential understanding?
