The Architecture of Knowledge from the Knowledge of
Architecture
At the verge of the crisis of production and knowledge, the discourse of
university has shown how a modernist theoretical insight upon the nature of
subjectivity could have been integrated with a social concern. It is this concern
that also signifies the evolution of modern analysis throughout the inquiry of the
socio-cultural and political collectivity. The discourse of university in the
reinterpretation of the modernist production and knowledge, in that sense, not
only gives way to understand the societal volatility because of the problems of
disintegration but also reveals what is the real behind those problems. Although
their coexisting circumstances do not directly correspond to May 1968 events,
the engaged conjecture of the Free University of Berlin and Eishin Campus in
Japan are two very distinct campus projects that can be analyzed with such an
inquiry throughout the discourse of university. They are not only significant to
take a traditional or cultural mode of making into account of practicing, as
either modernist or vernacular, but also consequential for integrating the social
concern of a collective demand that having a very active role in the design
progress of those projects. It is such that, the projects give great clues about the
re-interpretation of modern mode of making and generation of knowledge under
the light of the transformation of subjectivity, as the discourse of university.
Accordingly, the novel interpretation of the spatial production that coexists with
the changing social and environmental conditions is necessary for the
assessment of the information age.
The Free University of Berlin has revealed a peculiar interpretation of
modernity in the post-war period. After the attentive CIAM experience that had
been active in urban design especially before the war, it is such an important and
exemplary project of contemporary campus design in the last half of the century.
With the claim of being humanized campus environment formed by its users with
an alternative educational approach after the post-war period, the Free University
of Berlin shows a fine outcome of the new interpretation of scale in the modernist
mode of producing environments in between singular architectural works, and the
planning of urban plots and blocks. With respect to this, the project gets a role of
infrastructural development between the plot and the society that it would
communicate. It is the idea of bdquo;Stem,‟ in that sense, not only taking into account
for the user and social community but also generates a flexible use of the modest
modernist interpretation of the tectonic aspects. The flexibility can be defined in
such a tangible condition that the structural elements has been decided as
demountable so that any change in the needs of space, tectonic aspects and
structure could be responded with that decision.
We are concerned, not with lsquo;architecturersquo; or lsquo;town planningrsquo;, but with the
creation of environment at every scalehellip; The problems which we face in
making our world are entirely new, for our society is entirely newhellip; The
concept of society towards which we strive: that of a completely open, non
hierarchical co-operative in which we all share on a basis of total
participation and complete confidencehellip; The realization, for instance, that the
scene of action of reality is not a three-dimensional Euclidean space but
rather a four-dimensional world in which space and time are linked together
in-dissolutive sets our civilization apart from any others.
Shadrach Woods, one of the designers of the project, declared that the reality
of changing perception of the world had been thrown into the relativity of things
and subjects in time. Accordingly, the project realized shifting spatial production
of changing scale and approach towards the practices of the built environment. So,
the Free University of Berlin Campus carries the claim of being an alternative
approach of modern designing – to show its capacity to accommodate the flexible
kind of approach towards the produced space – interpreted later by its users. So,
rather than directly dictating its functional propositions onto the user, it is designed
hypothetically and intentionally as a building complex integrating the similar
architectural qualities of modernity altered at the turn of the new mode of
planning. What can be regarded as a potential in this designing approach of larger
scale building complex within the smaller scale urban land is the elegance of this
modernity having been carried through the spatial practice after the world war
period.
Though similar to the idea of autonomy of the spatial production in the
creation of environments as changing habitats, the design is rather humbler and
introverted in its character of the architectural formation. So, it carries the idea of
the refined instrumentality of architectural spaces opening-up new possibilities to
its users rather than being a monumental structure or a mythical self-standing
form. Nevertheless, just with this aim, it carries a monumental approach of being
socially, and even politically conscious.[1]With this reclusive approach in language, however, it can still be disputed that the design could further provide
much more potentials of spatial experiences and a new phase for a cultural and
aesthetic emancipation just to left
