reading detail & poetry
1. 1. As the technique of detailing changed from the hands of the craftsman to the tools of the architect, how has the resulting construction of details changed? Explain in terms of scale, material and cost.
-It has changed in that the craftsman skills and the uniqueness of that piece is now lost. Each piece even though it looks the same they both are unique and have small differences. Now a daze a detail could be mass produced, losing its value and uniqueness, making it easy for everyone to have the same piece.
2. 2. How does "geometrical relationship" of individual details provide an understanding of the whole building if "indirect vision" localizes the viewer and "habit determines to a large extent even optical reception"?
-It is set so that we understand the large field of vision and the way we understand a building through the experience of walking through it.
3. 3. Carlo Scarp's details are a "result of an intellectual game" where the Open City buildings are constructed from an act of poetry. Describe what role the detail plays to "tell-the-tale" in each of these environments.
-It comes together in the way that the details of a craft are not used in a literal sense with the “open city.” What is literally seen in “tell-the tale” as a visual detail the “open city” lets it to your imagination and is poetic, this gives you the freedom to interpret thins your way.
4. 4. Pendleton-Julian writes about the Open City as emerging from and being in the landscape. Does allowing landscape to initiate "the configuration of territory and space" challenge Western building notions, and how so?
-I think it in a way it does because we tend to keep inside and outside separate. We try to keep the inside of our buildings clean not allowing the elements to get in. In some cases we do attempt to put them together by creating some type of courtyard that connects into the building but they are still two separate parts.
5. 5. Describe some detail conditions of the Open City that convey "lightness" as Pendleton-Julian refers to.
-The lightness of the way that the building is built, the way the building merges with the site. The lightness in which the building does not affect the site and becomes one. Another lightness would have to be the structure of the building. This can be viewed conceptually or literally.
