DESCRIPTION:Andrea Zanderigo - Frédéric Frank\nCatherine Gay Menzel\, G
 ötz Menzel\, Alexandros Fotakis\, Claartje Vuurmans\nTravelling to Triest
 e gave us the opportunity to discover and to discuss the plural languages 
 of architecture. For this we made the selection of 15 vestibules stemming 
 from different epochs of the city’s history. Vestibules accumulate a pan
 oply of architectural elements in a relatively small space (doors\, floors
 \, walls\, stairs\, etc). Their different articulations tell us about the 
 spirit of the time they were conceived in – their reoccurrence of the pe
 rmanence of architectural principles.\nWe surveyed the vestibules on site 
 and composed analytic drawings which are here on display. Furthermore we m
 ade short films  - subjective documentaries – as a sensorial survey of 
 these spaces. What can be appropriated for a project today? Two conceptual
  model were built for each vestibule. They embody the potential of an arch
 itectural idea found in Trieste that can be transposed elsewhere. People a
 nd ideas move. These ideas are the nuclei for the design of small housings
  in Lausanne\, which we will work on during the remaining weeks of the sem
 ester. In the summer semester we will then elaborate projects for Trieste.
  GayMenzel Studio’s approach perceives architectural intervention stemmi
 ng from a site and a first desire\, by defining its character in advance. 
 We call it contextual imaginary.
