Unit 3’s main issue was the boundaries between Public and Private and exterior and interior. While considering architecture as “first and foremost an art of exclusion”(Wigley, 2002), of setting boundaries, of establishing order, we asked the students to firstly be aware of these aspects in their own design and secondly to try to imagine projects where these boundaries are transgressed. These investigations, we hoped, would lead to innovative and more inclusive architectural designs.The architectural production was conceived through the aspect of interiority, as discussed within Foucault’s and Bataille’s notion of transgression and de Certeau’s criticism of the distant and external view of space taken by architects and planners. Tschumi’s assertion that “there is no architecture without program, without action, without event… [and] t hat architecture is not a matter of style and cannot be reduced to a language” was the motto of the unit. Consequently, the unit concentrated on architecture as event and as a space of inhabitation rather than architecture as an object and the emphasis was put on socio-political aspects and the role of users. All these were developed via eccentric programmes, detailed site research, and the use of narratives. In the first project “The Transborderline”, the students were asked to design and then build, in groups, life-scale structures which were at once devices to cross a segregated public space (Russell Sq. at night), ephemeral shelters and socio-political manifestations. The inspiration for the project was taken from a work by the Italian group Stalker and Tschumi’s teaching methods during the 70’s. The project emphasised both the theoretical and socio-political aspects of urban public space, “learning by doing” and technology. It was exhibited at 66East – Centre for Urban Culture in Amsterdam in April with the support of the British Council and the Netherlands Architects Fund. The second term project, “the Outdoor Room,” also dealt with the issue of Public / Private, and Interior / exterior but this time on a larger scale and with a more complex programme and designs.The students were given an open brief and were asked to design a structure or an environment that had mixed use programmes - private and public ones. The structure would also transgress physical and visual boundaries between the interior and the exterior.The students’ innovative architectural designs were conceived through the combination of unlikely programmes and through the diffusion of the structures’ boundaries with its environment. To complicate the matter, some of the students chose to re-design existing buildings. By critically investigating these structures and transgressing the logic of them, the students opened up the present architecture to new ways of inhabitation.
