Grafting Architecture

Architecture, the way one thinks about architecture and the way architecture is used, is always in change. But the already existing concrete buildings do not change along. This mismatch is the starting point of my research. There is a shift in thought needed when thinking about what is mentioned above. There is need for a switch from looking at architecture as determined, finished buildings (objects) to start seeing buildings as capacities that are recognizable parts of their own continuous design process (assemblages). For this, one has to be more aware of the fact that an architect never has direct access to a building, like a sculptor has- One has to be more aware of the changing processes in time- One has to be more aware of the limit(lessness) of spaces. This research will show options that make architecture not more flexible (transform-ing its nature) but more able to understand and react on its own complexness by ques-tioning its own frames and boundaries. It is not about creating new forms of architec-ture, not about making it able to transfer a geometry into a totally different geom-etry, but about creating different scenarios within óne building. It is about the stable buildings as we know it being able to look beyond itself. It is about designing from the (three-dimensional) section instead of solving a programme in plan. It is about the complex interactions between spaces and the complex interactions between the ele-ments that form the spaces. It is about the fact that the limit of space is not the wall
