BRUTHER
CAEN RESEARCH CENTER – NEW GENERATION
Designed as a landmark, the project is intended as a layering of spaces, atmospheres, and climates. It revisits the image of the vertical shed saving space on the ground. It also ensures the continuity of views and establishes a close and respectful relationship with its neighbours and context. Offering an infinite combination of spaces and flexibility of use within the most significant possible volume, it explores the concept of the megafloor. As a public space, it creates the opportunity to expand uses, build bridges between functions, and facilitate exchanges between users.
This lecture is part of the School Lecture Series
COMMUNITY VOL.1
Seven exemplary projects and case studies
Community is an ambivalent concept. It involves both gathering through shared customs and exclusion. Some claim that inclusive communities do not exist. Recent history shows people more often unite through exclusion than inclusion. However, communities are not sealed. Philosopher Roberto Esposito explains that community 'is not a property or territory to defend but a void, a debt, and a gift to others, reminding us of our otherness.
This lecture series explores the topic of community through architecture. How does architecture explore, define, or enable communities? Can architects collaborate directly with communities, bypassing institutional entities? How can design convey a collective experience? Seven emerging and established architectural figures respond to these questions through their work, which spans film, exhibitions, and communitarian buildings.
