Description

No sets, no artificial lighting, no special effects. As if the filmmaker were filming real life with his handheld camera. Hild translated the same rules to architectural education: away from digital castles in the air, where everything seems possible and nothing can really be built, into direct and everyday life. This was logically followed by a collaboration with a DIY store – a place, in other words, where the everyday house builder obtains his concrete materials in order to make his dreams a reality. With it had to be designed, drawn by hand, “without electricity”. The result of this are objects built 1:1 by the students themselves, exclusively from materials available in a hardware store.

What initially appears in this brief presentation as a striking actionist event has a very fundamental architectural-theoretical background that revisits a line of development in contemporary architecture that is currently still hidden behind star fetishism, computer credulity, lifestyle fashions and a “somehow modern”.
