Undoubtedly the way in which we inhabit a building is different from the way we use an object, especially as far as timing is concerned. Although we are part of the architecture the same way that objects are our most immediate and artificial extension, they are (usually smaller than that of an architectural construction) those who construct discontinuously our intratemporality. This communication, through the proposed analysis, demonstrates the importance of knowing (and therefore understand) the time scale that defines and enables our objects. Only through the tool that is the consciousness of his reality we will be able to get to optimize our designs in order that our intentions are expressed through our objects.
TIME-BASED DESIGN PARADIGMS, 2022
Spaces are not inanimate volumes fixed in time. When we live in a space, we stay with all the senses and we experience many times, not just the present. Time must be stimulated, involved, to become tools for designing the spaces, to be part of the experiential performances. We have to learn how to analyze, to map and to design with time, reshaping the forms and writing systems of notation to describe the experiences, the rhythms, the duration of our experience in the spaces. First the digital revolution and then the pandemic, have made it clear that new forms of time – simultaneity, co-presence, slowing down, displacement, extended spaces, etc. – are designing the spaces of physical presence and absence. The objective of the chapter is to return, to senses and time, the role of key ingredients in the architectural design of places. The dimensions of architecture are multiple and complex: the known metrical coordinates of the surfaces and volumes; the more complex psychical plans of the mind; the anthropological dimensions of the social experiences; the sensitive quality of the human body. The involvement of time in spatial design will be managed between the linearity of Cronos and the fluidity of Kairos, but in both cases, we need to design new measurements, chronotopes, to help designers to Copyright © 2022 by FrancoAngeli s.r.l., Milano, Italy. ISBN 9788835140580 82 answer correctly to the new places. We need a semantic of signs and symbols to represent and express the qualities of time. Notation is not only an instrument of relief and storytelling, but also the way to start the project, because the construction of sense-time language is the first design choice to involve them in the DNA of the next spaces. We dwell in time as much as in space, and architecture mediates equally our relationship with this mysterious dimension, giving it its human measure (Pallasmaa, 2016).
Time Semantics As an Expression Form in Architecture, 2001
The concept of Time remained one of the unanswered subjects in philosophy generally, and architecture especially. But, unfortunately, neither philosophy nor natural sciences finalised a specific deliberation that comprehends Time. It remained floating between the shores of philosophy and experimental sciences. Philosophy developed such ideas as eternity, historicism, essence, immediacy, and continuity. Empirical sciences maintained ideas about movement. In architecture, deliberations concerning Time remained limited. No research presented the time concept directly. Yet, these concepts remained in the shadow of movement, change and formal interpretation. In architecture, though, time concepts faced concepts of space, change and transformation without deeply understanding philosophic or scientific significance. This research attempted to consider Time as a form of expression, as well as spatial and functional. Expressionism in architecture appeared on two levels: • The purpose of expression. • Means used by expression.

This paper defines an exploratory pattern that, employing time as a key factor, reviews its recent dynamics, evolutions and interpretations critical to the field of Design, to establish which are urgent issues to be challenged and to select and map relevant approaches, methods and agencies. Starting from an analysis of the obsolescence of the linear conception of time, based on the Modernist ideal of progress and undermined by the manifestation of humanity as a planetary-scale geological force (Anthropocene), it is proposed a contemporary characterization of it. Time is presented as Object-Oriented, Archetypical and Topological and it calls for updated design roles, methods and objectives beneficial to a sharp understanding of our present. Para-fictional and Material Speculation are proposed as suitable approaches and sustainability, information and hybridization as crucial issues for our time. They are explored through the time parameter: Time and Objects, Time and Knowledge and Time and Making. Some case studies are selected to discuss which design practices respond to the contemporary time challenges. This recognition identifies also some tools and modalities which support and help the design to accomplish its critical, reflective and political role.
The paper is a theoretical approach regarding digital architecture, performance and time. It tries to reflect on the philosophical taxonomy of time -cosmological, phenomenological and narrative- and how digitally conscious architectural design developed by architects, media artists, engineers and multidisciplinary teams address the engagement of the architectural space in real-time. The traditional static conception of architecture is altered through performativity and the ideals of permanence and endurance radically questioned. The research also constitutes a reflection on interaction, participation and performance in an ample sense with regard to performative architecture and some urban implications it may entail. Various examples addressing these topics mainly installed or built during the last decade exemplify the different issues that the paper reflects on. A critical reading of the installations and the intelligent-façades commented is posed to the reader together with the conceptual implications the different performative approaches involve and the goals they may achieve. The question remains if buildings instead of being or meaning should, more than ever, perform.

The main idea aimed in this dissertation is to deconstruct the transposition process of the concept of time from a term of art history into that of architecture. Thesis begins with the transforming effects of the art historical space conceptions in the 19 th century German architectural theories on the formation of 20 th century modern architectural space conception as "Space-time." Space-time is termed by the avant-gardist architectural historian-critic Sigfried Giedion in the beginning of the first quarter of the twentieth century to characterize the morphological and structural forms of the new modes of spatial experience, temporal consciousness and self-evidency as the new characteristics of architectural Modernity. Apart from the Swiss art history tradition he has been trained, Giedion undertakes a leading role and owing to his historian background, constitutes a model both in establishment of historiography of modern architecture and in shaping the role of an architectural historian. Within the framework of his dual programmatic roles of Avant-gardist architectural historian and of mediator historian, suggesting the unification of architecture and life, Giedion renders architecture as the origin and apparatus of the holistic cultural renewal he has been striving to realize. In line with his Hegelian Telos of Unity, in order to justify his unification ethos he has proposed in every field of life between "feeling" and "thought," Giedion invents scientific and artistic footings. Giedion sets on his Hegelian understanding of history as Zeitgeist to support the self-evidencies of scientific and artistic indications, which are operatively selected and connected by himself. Under the effect of this unification ethos, having made an attack on transposing the concept of time into architectural realm as "Space-time," Giedion has constructed it to characterize the architectural Modernity and at the same time, has paradoxically started to equip the meaning of his "Space-time" invention with the therapeutic ideology, which aimed to dissolve "tensions" and to eliminate all symptomatic "illnesses" of the modernization process. Within the context of the operative historian figure of architectural Modernity, the thesis reveals how Giedion has constructed the Space-time conception throughout his book Space, Time and Architecture written in 1941 and with continuous additions to the book, how he has transformed the concept both in terms of content and meaning. This dissertation presents under which traditions, conditions, motivations and mentalities Giedion has invented the Space-time concept, deciphering how the content of the concept has been transformed through deconstruction of persuasion mechanisms and narrative techniques used in order to render this invention as selfevident. Within the framework of this demystifying and deconstructing approaches, thesis examines how the idea of space constituted and framed by the psychology, physiognomy and Gestalt theories of the 19 th century have been transformed into spatial experience at the beginning of the 20 th century and how Giedion transposes this spatial experience into "Space-time" as the morphological, spatial, temporal and syntaxial characteristics of modern architecture. This dissertation presents how the diversified traces of time theorizations ranging from the 19 th century pseudo-scientific fourth dimension theories to non-Euclidean Geometry theories, from Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to anthropomorphic time conceptualizations in philosophy are continued by Giedion have been deciphered. Transforming the static relationship between subject-object by suggesting the mobilization of Subject and the disengagement in syntax between the parts and totality of the Object, Giedion addresses the Cubist painting as a shift in the reception of "hidden" and "unseen" fragments of the Reality and it's "contemporaneous" Einstein's General Theory of Relativity as the scientific footing for the temporal characteristic of the spatial experience. Elaborating the 19 th century art-historical space conceptions, the principles of a-perspectival view in the new mode of visual perception theories, which include time consciousness within the spatial experiences and the fragmented totality of the mentally constructed images of modern space conception in post-cubist reception theories, this dissertation scrutinizes, the techniques of expanding the meaning of Space-time conception and the mechanisms of persuasion that convert the meaning into a metaphoric narrative and the representative instrument of Modernity in the last edition of the book Space, Time and Architecture. Consequently, it has been analyzed how the two important concepts of Space and Time have undergone changes and transformations until they have been reached to Giedion, and how he has adopted this intellectual heritage and transformed it into "Space-time" that amounts to the modern space conception of the 20 th century.

In this paper, we introduce and discuss the itinerary of a 2nd year architectural design course, led by ourselves at Beykent U's Dept. of Architecture. The terms of our discussion traces Deleuze's reworking of Bergson's theory of duration. We retain the critical, hermeneutic and creative moments of Deleuze's selective reading of Bergson while appropriating these moments as our own means of problematizing duration in the context of architecture through performance. In the first part of the article, we follow through the methodological implications of Bergson's three rules of intuition so as to be able to propose a critical outline of “the metric logic of architecture” as an architecture-of-space. Characterized as it is by a lack of precision, this logic fails to regard for the singularity of the body by adopting repertories of knowledge that are static, mediated, and too general. In the second part, we describe the three individual yet inter-connected stages of our design studio process, with references to several student projects in detail. Our main aim here is to counter-attack the logic of metrics with the basic premises of a “parametric logic,” an architecture-of-time, which is inherently performative in nature and is based on dynamic, immediate and singular repertories of knowledge. In the third and final part, we try to highlight those aspects of intuition that in turn may provide us with a model of teaching and learning that capitalizes a re-engagement of architecture with duration. Our guiding questions in elaborating each part are: (1) What does it mean for architecture to embody time instead of representing it? (2) How can intuition turn into a design method and an experiential model in architectural education? (3) What kind of a relation between instructor and student is evoked by elan vital when taken as a pedagogical principle?
n the last years digital representation had influenced the whole architectural design starting from the conception of ideas up to the building drawing. Some new tools of 3D modelling have approached the terms of drawing and design, leading them again to the etymological root, the Latin word designo (which meant both to draw and to design). The introduction of the dimension “time” into the traditionally static representation methods constituted a new powerful medium both in concept phase and in communication of design. As new medium, architectural animation, is related to many disciplines, like Communication Sciences and Cinema Engineering and have to face to the traditional and consolidate peculiarities and techniques of film production. This engages critical discussions on the ontological nature of films, on their narrative form, on their character of exploration of human emotions and involves the attention of architectural movies about perceptive aspects produced by the dialectic relationship between people and space. The high complexity in creating and animating three-dimensional digital models has to face an unusual separation of jobs and responsibilities between atelier activities and modelling / rendering / animating / compositing works. The relationship between atelier and rendering studios is accomplished in different ways: sometimes is made out of the atelier only the video compositing, some other the whole 3D work modelling. For this reason, sometimes, rendered images of 3D models and video haven’t the same efficacy and don’t transmit the same message of other graphic works produced inside the atelier. Moreover specific creative languages and visual communication styles characterize the work of the main rendering studios overlapping to the architects’ languages and styles. In this paper we present the results of our researches about digital representation in contemporary architectural design. In particular we will develop some considerations about the elements of novelty introduced by animations in communication of design thinking. We will analyze, starting from significant case studies below specified, different conditions and phases of project in which digital animation, sometimes accompanied by a limited level of interactivity, plays a central role as method and tool of communication. In architectural ideas competitions 3D digital animation represents a powerful tool for increasing evaluation capability by jury members, about a design thinking not yet developed by building drawings. In public presentations of masterplans as well as in architectural project, 3D digital animation allows different viewers to comprehend, analyze and appreciate the form and the perceptive effect of a work, already completely defined. In some of the top architects’ web sites is possible to verify the quickly increasing presence of short architectural movies for divulgating the masterpieces of the team also when the idea has become reality. Purpose of this research is to express some proposals useful to the professionals involved in the architectural processes, in order to increase the communicative and expressive capabilities of their works.

This paper questions the need to introduce into the design methodologies and education, the temporal dimension in architectural design. It questions the need, to introduce methodologies and protocols to be able to define, design, and measure the variables involved in the actuation of spaces. While in the history of design, spatial qualities have been central in the search for techniques and tools, temporal qualities have entered, with the advent of the digital revolution, as qualities capable of deforming, compressing, reconfiguring spaces and supporting new ways of living. The paper investigates various time-based approaches developed by scholars and designers from different disciplines, and the consequent proposals that have been developed so far. The directions that time-based design has explored concern: Spaces: Digital technologies of algorithmic design/production have made spaces and components adaptable in order to guarantee kinetic or sensorial performance over time through ...
The study delves deeply into the historical contexts of the countries involved, examining how the idea of cultural heritage and its protection under international law has changed through the years and in various social, economic, and political climates. When preserving cultural assets under public international law, we also consider the humanitarian aspect of this phenomenon. The study examines whether people and groups limit a state's power to act beyond limitations imposed by other states and international organizations. This research further examines the role of international human rights laws in this setting, the preservation of the individual's connection to cultural products, and whether or not an individual becomes a significant player in international law. The study's findings provide conclusive evidence of the pivotal catalytic role that UNESCO and similar international organizations play in the worldwide preservation of cultural heritage. UNESCO is the principal venue for monitoring whether or not states are adhering to international protection principles. Whether or not UNESCO can be effective without ratification processes for cultural preservation has to be investigated more deeply. The study's findings indicate that protecting cultural assets involves a wide range of aspects, including the rights and responsibilities of governments and the rights of cultures. In addition, our research suggests that the ever-evolving international legal system can improve its framework, which is relevant to preserving cultural treasures.
