WHAT: Everyday establish itself, things matter little. This project is to study rhythms of everyday life with inventing new measuring tools and analyze them with repetitive process linked to homogenous time. There is diverse spaces as geometry and diverse temporalities as rhythms in the concrete; the body. Over time the sensitive body of space goes into a modification process with rhythmic change; so do architectures. The project not oly concentrates on human activities and events, but also observe their temporality in which these activities unfold. It aims to explore the alignment of rhythms in repetitive time periods. The alliance of function and space changes at different speeds and as a result, environment and architecture fuse and a polyrhythmic or arrhythmic arrangement occurs. The question is how the rhythm of the self and the rhythm of others are oriented and distributed? In other words, how the beating hearts of the body and the connections between these hearts are revealed to disclose the trace of beating over time. This project looks at the architectural translation of the object often contained between the dynamic body and its trace in the world. Imagine a kitchen full of connected utensils from Alfred Jerry’s anti-matter which is sensitive to very small rhythmic changes, “change amplifier bodies,” that leave a trace on the timeline, itself and its environment.
WHY: Whereas there is interaction between a place, a time and an expenditure of energy, there is rhythm. Architecture is also not a static object. In other words, an architecture over its life occupies more than a topography, it occupies a timeography, a period over time in which it is affected by forces which alter the body and become in tune with these changes. Architecture does not sublimate only the functional or aesthetic rule it also has ethical function. In its relation to body, to the time, to the work, it literally illustrates qualitative life of body. Rhythm appears as regulated time, governed by rational law, but in contrast with that is least rational in human being; the lived, the carnal, the body which wraps itself in rhythms of social or mental function.
HOW: Design a system of combination of series of rhythmic objects in a kitchen in connection with a garden in a circular rhythm, developing the idea of surface and geometry between things of objects tracking the lost geometry of everyday repetition which makes the rhythm more tangible; as there are only things and rhythms. The site is the kitchen in the magical realistic novel; “Like The Water For Chocolate” by Laura Esquivel. It’s about a girl who is only able to express her passion and feeling through her cooking- the everydayness effect. The project is about exploring how to track and map the rhythms of her activities through a series of pieces and sculptures which their combination compose a sensible effect of her everyday life in the body of space. These devices are imitating and simulating her everyday rhythms in order to reflect a quantitative sensible data. Designing the series of pieces and sound sculptures linked to the functional tools will re-compose the music of everyday life which is neither natural nor artificial as architectural space. Objects are moving and vibrating constantly under circular and linear external forces. Exploring the forces that are in contradiction and resistance with each other distinguishes between the experience of time as a process, as “in-formation,” and as an instrumental notion of time that is “metronomic” or “progressive”; circular or linear. There are four kinds of alignments between rhythms: Arrhythmia, Polyrhythmia, Eurhythmia and Isorhythmia which are considered in design process.
