Site: Mercat de Santa Caterina
Assignment: THE CONTEXTUAL DETAIL
"When the materialities of the details forming an architectural space become evident, the haptic realm is opened up. Sensory experience is intensified and the psychological dimensions are engaged." Steven Holl
"Using a conceptual analogy, it is possible to define architecture as a system in which there is a "total architecture," the plot, and a detailed architecture, the tale. The joint, that is, the detail, is the place of the meeting of the mental construing and the actual construction." Marco Frascari
"Beauty is the concinnity of all the details in the unity to which they belong." Leon Battista Alberti
exercise
In the interior space of the Mercat de Santa Caterina you will explore details, the joining together of two materials through a series of thumbnail sketches. Please consider how the joint tells the tale of the construing and conceptualization of the architecture.
