1 ON IMPROVISATION, MAKING, THINKING JULIO BERMUDEZ! UNIVERSITY OF UTAH TOM FOWLER! CALPOLY, SAN LUIS OBISPO BENNETT NEIMAN! TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY Argument This paper investigates architectural design as a nonintellectual act. Today architecture is suffering from the hypertrophy of the intellect. What cannot be rationally articulated, either from theoretical or pragmatic extremes, is given little or no value. Even the most obviously irrational proposals are presented with logical justifications. Students and some faculty believe that by rationalizing the design act they will establish a higher level of architectural meaning. This panel offers improvisation as an alternative method that confronts the tendency to over intellectualize. This design work investigates the potential role of improvisation in architectural design. It intentionally proposes intuition over thought in the decision making process. It challenges the prevalent belief that thinking and control lead to understanding and problem solving. It is based on the premise that inspired design rarely comes out of a priori thought. It highlights issues often undervalued or ignored in current design teaching and research. It reminds us of important things. Good design advocates a construction 227
2 2005 ACSA SW Regional Conference Lafayette, LA process that materializes through the body and, as Peter Zumthor states, ultimately comes from insight and feeling rather than pure reason. In so doing, this panel re-situates the role of the intellect in architectural design. Some might say that current post-structuralist theory, particularly those dealing with rhizomatic ideas, has already taken care of disproving the solidity of thought, strict methodologies, and pure rationality. To an extent this is true. However, these efforts come through over-intellectualized argumentation that tends to freeze any action beyond words. Thinking, no matter how clear or correct, is not equal to actual doing. Exercising improvisation and intuition cuts through all of the pre-thinking and delivers us into ordinary processes readily accessible to designers, and therefore a more useful response to real world situations. Three different design investigations are offered as case studies: the cyberprint (by Julio Bermudez), the imaginedrealities (by Tom Fowler) and the bebopspace (by Bennett Neiman). Despite their distinct characters, approaches and results, all three are based on a technique of letting go of thought, (of explaining ) and instead using an intuitive process of making and thinking. All three follow the language of new media, building on the conventions of old media. In addition, they find common ground in their inspiring nature, seductively motivating by requiring the observer to remain in a state of fluid perceptual inhabitation. They demand the viewer s own improvisation and thus a committed participation. As a two-sided event, these works wake up architectural dreams in order to challenge, discover, and invent. As a result, they provide strong proof that an alternative architectural practice based on improvisation is not just possible, but preferable. These works are questions, not solutions. The goal is to open up an intellectual space aware of its own power and shortcomings to serve architecture. The cyberprint by Julio Bermudez The cyberprint is the architectural expression in digital space of an individual s lifespace in real time. The cyberprint is both a probing and representational system that brings together science and art through architectural design. The cyberprint provides us with the opportunity for expressing and exploring architecturally the improvisational nature of being alive.

3 Bermudez, Fowler, & Neiman On Improvisation, Making, Thinking More specifically, the cyberprint is an electronic bio-feedback system driven by physiologic data drawn from a performer via special sensors attached to the body and transmitted wirelessly to computers which, in turn, generate and project a specially designed and programmed audio-visual 3D virtual reality in real time. Since the resulting virtual artifact represents the individual whose biological data generate and sustain it, it is a cyber-print or personal signature of that individual in digital space. By enveloping its user through screen projection and/ or virtual reality technologies, the cyber- PRINT allows that individual to visualize, inhabit, and interact with others in unimaginable ways. It enables the performer and the audience to explore the creativity of non-intellectual, intuitive, and live design improvisation. Such architecture of being reverses the way we have hitherto interacted with and created architecture. In doing so, it opens new insights both into the nature of self, dwelling, design and making in the context of a totally new understanding of architectural improvisation. imaginedrealities by Thomas Fowler imaginedrealities is an unconventional methodology for integrating material in a building tech- Figure 3 imaginedrealities design work 229
4 2005 ACSA SW Regional Conference Lafayette, LA nology course and a third year design studio. Assignments in the linked design and environmental control systems (ECS) studios function independently yet converge thematically. A reiterative process is fostered where conceptual and analytical investigations of topics in the ECS studio such as lighting, heating and cooling offer frequent opportunities for students to reevaluate their design work by enriching and informing pre-established architectural vocabularies. An interchangeable use of digital media and physical material enable architectural explorations of rich tactile and luminous engagement. More specifically, imaginedrealities provides a framework that allows students to engage in early improvisations in both studios (design & ECS) that are strategically limited to predetermined issues, freeing students to explore and represent these issues in provocative ways, while not burdening them with all of the complexities of a building problem at the outset. It is not until the midpoint of the quarter that the design and ECS studios converge on an actual building project that is described in its entirety. The emphasis on the skin of a building skintegration - promotes a compelling dialogue between studios and offers a tactic for considering larger architectural questions. A building s skin profoundly influences the identity, character and poetry of the architecture (design studio) at the same time it mediates relationships between interior and exterior space, facilitating desirable penetrations such as light and views, while blocking undesirable environmental phenomenon such as direct summer sun and moisture (ECS studio). A focused range of intensive improvisations occur early in the quarter. This is balanced with a kit-of-parts understanding of the technical aspects of environmental systems, shaped and molded into an immersive of building design in the later stages of the quarter. bebopspace by Bennett Neiman bebopspace is based on the master and alternate takes of the bebop performance entitled Leap Frog, by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. The recording features a series of improvisational layers, one portion interacting and superseding the other. Representations of space, line, volume, and texture are implied in the music. The designer/performer hears the three-dimensional space of interpenetrating movements where primary and secondary precincts are juxtaposed and projected against complex geometries. bebopspace demonstrates a poetic design process as it happens. It uses the classic cinematic technique of compressing time, representing an overall tonality of the method s flexibility. The process is a cause and effect relationship, beginning as a simple underlying structure that grows with compulsion. The structure develops into a metamorphic labyrinth, as an open-ended, self-perpetuating continuum. The complexity is discernible, traceable back to the original order. Each drawing is a complex piece of resultant simplicity derived from an ordered language, constructing and articulating the elements of size, shape, treatment, location, and orientation. Similar to a masterpiece jazz improvisation, the designer/performer is unable to talk about the performance as effectively as the performance speaks for itself. At the same time, the observer 230
5 must listen and interact with speculative drawings, thus provoking an experience of improvisation. The designer/performer can interrupt the process at any time, allowing for the extraction of space from two-dimensional drawings into three dimensions at any scale, as a detail, as a building, or as an urban design.
