Mehrzeller Camper Prototype in Dusseldorf





They made the very simple assumption that the people who know best what the ideal camper needs are the people who will use it. On the Mehrzeller's project website, the designers explain (in German) that when their 'configurator' interface is fully functional in the spring of 2009, potential buyers can input their data and wishes, and order their unique Mehrzeller camper online. The name Mehrzeller can be translated as 'moreceller,' i.e. something with more cells. The name is fitting as the pods or units that form the Mehrzeller in various configurations do look somewhat 'cellular.'

The production will be based on the principle of mass customization, a
nd production costs will not be significantly higher than those of standard campers. The basic architecture and design parameters remain the same, while the customers get to choose pretty much everything else. Using the configurator interface, they input the number and age of the people and animals that are going to be using the camper. Then they input the usage of space - eating, sleeping, cooking, working, entertaining, relaxing and so on - and the relative importance of each function. The system will then determine the floor plan and generate a 3D rendering. Next, the buyers select the materials and appliances. The program then calculates the price and creates the production specifications.

Ghost House 2008 Japan

ATELIER TEKUTO Reflection of Mineral, Tokyo 2006

mineral_house_tokyo_01

Reflection of Mineral is a 480-square-foot (about 45 square meters) residence located in downtown Tokyo’s Nakano ward. Designed by architect Yasuhiro Yamashita Reflection of Mineral has received wide architecture and design media attention and numerous international awards.

Depending on viewpoint, the house looks like a bulky camper van about to take off. Or it seems to be the result of a giant’s frustrated attempt to fashion a house from a square box. Realizing that the site is too small and the wrong shape for his house, the giant just stuffed the house into the site by force. The whimsy of this beautiful residence is a big part of its charm. At the same time, the house is also an elegant expression of modern Japanese minimalism, and an example of brilliant use of a sparse site, a requirement in the tight space of downtown Tokyo.

Also beautiful is the way in which the interior appointments — the lines of the bathtub, the curves of the waste bins, the wavy length of the utilitarian shelves — respond to the lines of the building. This makes the interior seem larger and much less boxy than one would assume from the outside.

Yasuhiro Ymashita who was born in Kagoshima in 1960. He established Atelier Tekuto in Tokyo in 1991

A investigação inerente à escrita da tese tem-me levado ao encontro de artistas cuja obra tem tanto de consistente - material e conceptualmente - como de sedutora.
Gormley seduz pela forma incisiva com que se aproxima do observador: na escala, no movimento, no modo de representação. Elabora com perícia esta fusão entre corpo humano e corpo arquitectónico, explorando-o nas muitas possíveis variantes.

"Over the last 25 years Antony Gormley has revitalised the human image in sculpture through a radical investigation of the body as a place of memory and transformation, using his own body as subject, tool and material. Since 1990 he has expanded his concern with the human condition to explore the collective body and the relationship between self and other in large-scale installations like ANOTHER PLACE, DOMAIN FIELD, and INSIDE AUSTRALIA. His recent work increasingly engages with energy systems, fields and vectors, rather than mass and defined volume, evident in works like CLEARING, BLIND LIGHT, FIRMAMENT and ANOTHER SINGULARITY."

Captar elementos do banal, associá-los e reinventar o seu significado na concepção de um elemento sublime. Entre a descontextualização Duchampiana e a associação repetitiva de Warhol.
Resultado tridimensional, plástico, feminino.
JoanaVasconcelos


Permaneço imóvel na superfície quente de uma areia imaginada, num qualquer Verão a imaginar.

Sinto o incremento ameaçador da onda que me agride a cada instante, me desequilibra – sem que consiga prever a intensidade com que vai rebentar. Sinto a força agreste do vento que me arranha a pele e puxa os cabelos. Sinto a luz forte do sol que me ofusca e me queima a pele.

Resisto.

Frágil e delicado, o meu corpo tenta proteger-se e fugir a cada nova ameaça, mas a força do carácter fá-lo segurar-se ali.

Cada onda, cada rajada, cada raio de sol, trazem consigo partículas cristalinas quase invisíveis mas infinitamente resistentes. A cada instante, os cristais colam-se ao meu corpo e vão formando superfície dura e sólida de mineral. Aos poucos, o rebentar das ondas vai deixando de doer, o vento deixa de me fazer balançar, o sol deixa de queimar.

E eu permaneço imóvel até o Verão acabar.

No final dou um passo lento, forte. E encho a areia de pegadas nítidas que apontam a firmeza do percurso e o local onde quero chegar.




Sempre volto à praia que me dá a dureza de mineral . coral . cristal.

A minha perspectiva arquitectónica vê-se alterada a cada instante, girando sobre si própria em ciclos regulares e pousando altimetricamente sobre patamares em forma de antítese (regra geral, um anula o anterior). O meu gosto, esse, balança como pêndulo entre o deslumbramento com a expressividade formal e a segurança que o zelo funcional permite.
Se por um lado me emociono irremediavelmente com a beleza sedutora da forma - sobretudo quando desenhada qual delicado objecto de escultura - por outro lado, reconheço um incontornável poder de sedução em edifícios duros de aspecto atípico, cuja aparente objectividade se reveste afinal de uma ambiguidade macia e inquietante: capta-nos o olhar e não nos deixa desviá-lo, como se ali estivesse pedaço de enigma a decifrar.
Se por um lado me revolta a "endless discussion" que sucessivamente e a cada instante refuta e invalida verdades "agora" absolutas e "segundos depois" absurdas - regra geral fruto do efeito de uma qualquer retórica bem estruturada - , por outro lado cativa-me a recusa do óbvio e o desdém por formas vazias de intenção e significado .
Se por um lado me parece ridícula a incansável, intensa, i-n-t-e-r-m-i-n-á-v-e-l discussão que leva a decisões de forma e programa, por outro lado, é com facilidade que me envolvo nelas e que de repente lhes reconheço toda a legitimidade e importância (porque para se ter uma estrutura inquebrável, todas as pequenas peças têm que ser rigorosamente produzidas e montadas).
Hoje, neste instante, a minha noção de qualidade arquitectónica aponta edifícios erigidos em bases simples e sinceras, que não surgem directamente da vontade de criar uma peça formalmente sedutora, mas que, fruto do tempo, do amadurecimento de ideias e da sucessiva necessidade de resposta a problemas de ordem funcional e construtiva, acabam por constituir uma peça de especificidade e beleza difíceis de refutar.. E por ser tão sólida, tão pura e consistente, esta arquitectura adquire a resistência e legitimidade de "elemento natural".
Verdadeira. Forte. Sedutora.

2009.03.08 VOLTEI.

Voltei exausta a Basel, depois de poucos mas intensos dias em Portugal... E estou finalmente de volta ao blog, depois de uns penosos meses sem internet. Fez-me falta o ritual de me alimentar diariamente com imagens inspiradoras... e dói-me o vazio destes meses sem registos no blog, tão contrário aos meses repletos de acontecimentos que tenho vivido. Fez-me falta ter-vos "por perto" no msn e saber do que vos vai acontecendo.
Por tudo isto, e apesar dos horários de trabalho e da dificuldade de conciliá-los com uma tese que tem que ser escrita até ao final do ano, prometo voltar a dar vida ao blog... E renovo o desejo de fazer dele um espaço de registo absolutamente pessoal e egocêntrico, onde fixo a naturalidade daquilo que me cativa, onde me descubro à medida que me vou construindo, onde guardo ideias e momentos que quero fazer prolongar no tempo. E para compensar o facto de estar longe, convido-os para uma visita sempre que quiserem saber de mim.
Vemo-nos por aqui. :)


Movo-me a energia solar. Determina-me a superficie dos dias, a felicidade da pele, dos olhos e do ar que passa a ser meu a cada momento.
