Red Folies. He maintains that ‘[w]hat distinguishes these projects … is the manner in which their programmatic dimension becomes as much a part of their architecture as of their use’, thus highlighting the necessity to replace ‘the static notions of form and function … by attention to the actions that occur inside and around buildings – to the movement of bodies, to activities to aspirations’ [42: p. 13]. ... counterpoint (between movement and space, events and spaces, etc.) Architectural Design.

Simultaneously Space and Event: Bernard Tschumi’s Conception of Architecture. This time, Tschumi brought together drawings, etchings, photographs, models and little books that focussed on the theme of ‘sequence’ and were created by Philippe Guerrier, Jenny Lowe, Lorna McNeur, Deborah Oliver and Peter Wilson. This has remained central to his work, where architecture must originate from ideas and concepts before becoming form, and cannot be dissociated from the events and movements of the living beings that inhabit it. Dieci Libri, Royal Academy of Arts; 1975]. I’ve been a luxury lifestyle writer and editor for 15 years, meaning I’ve met with today’s movers and shakers and gone behind the scenes to observe master craftsmen at work creating everything from Cartier timepieces and Moynat handbags to Rolls-Royce cars and Riva yachts.

Dieci Libri, Royal Academy of Arts; 1975]. I then decided to test these ideas in a real competition, my first. The notational strategies that Tschumi employed in The Manhattan Transcripts thus aimed to ‘trigger desire for architecture’, replacing function with fiction. Charitonidou, M., 2020. He also refers to the inseparability between ‘[t]he magic of space’ and ‘its theoretical discourse’, claiming that ‘[a]ttitudes play with language, and theories play with attitudes’ [37]. The importance of this exhibition for comprehending the role of space in Tschumi’s thought lies in the fact that it aimed ‘[t]o reveal a change in attitudes towards the theories and the language of space’, and thus to reinforce the contact of architecture with the very reality of spatial experience. The Screenplays aimed at developing a contemporary set of architectural tools. Bernard Tschumi, ‘The Environmental Trigger’, pp93-99. Achetez neuf ou d'occasion Bernard Tschumi is an architect who regularly related his works to notions of deconstruction. As was mentioned in the initial announcement sent to the potential contributors on 15th August 1974, the exhibition’s objective was ‘[t]o reveal a change in attitudes towards the theories and the language of space’. The circulation route takes the visitor through different historical archaeological periods via a three-dimensional loop that extends from the archaeological excavations, visible through a glass floor, to the Parthenon Frieze in a gallery with city views, and back down through the Roman period.

Particularly telling of his desire to challenge the cause-effect relationships and the totalities that made Modernist and internalist architectural discourse and practice dogmatic and non-relevant was the following statement – which would also be valuable for rethinking architectural design processes today – in which he declared that ‘today there cannot be any opposition between drawings, words and architecture. Tschumi’s pedagogical vision was focused on a critical analysis of the urban condition, inviting the students to reflect on points of convergence and divergence in understanding the dynamics of contemporary cities.

Instead, to place emphasis on the non-linearity of the architectural narrative, he employed the notion of an ‘aleatory narrative’, drawing upon Roland Barthes’ structural analysis of the components of literature. Deleuze G. Cinema 1: The Movement Image. Tschumi’s intention to conceive architecture as simultaneously space and event becomes highly apparent in The Manhattan Transcripts, whose ‘explicit purpose is to transcribe things normally removed from conventional architectural representation, namely the complex relationship between spaces and their use; between the set and the script; between ‘type’ and ‘program’; between objects and events’ [2: p. 80]. 2009; 14(3): 322–332. In his text for the exhibition catalogue, Tschumi wrote that his aim with ‘The Broadway Follies’ was again to couple a transformational and spatial sequence [53].
