*** HOW CAN HUMAN AND MORE THAN HUMAN (NATURE, TECHNOLOGY...) CAN SPECIFICLY RELATE?
*** HOW DO YOU RENDER THE WORLD SENSIBLE IN OTHER WAYS?
HOW DO YOU GRASP THE WORLD? (WITH BODY, SENSES, TECHNOLOGY, DATA, NON HUMAN, MATERIAL, SPIRITUALITY...)
ANGELO'S RESEARCH: (how do you grasp the world?)
BODIES AS INFRASTRUCTURE = EMBODIED ARCHITECTURE (the body makes the arch)
SPACE is made of STRAIGHT LINES (pre-determined directions/actions) *Tim Ingold (book)
-how to break this pattern? how to "fluidify" the space? how to find our own way to inhabit the space?
-how space and material agency shape our body/thinking/making the world?
-what kind of infrastructure the body currently is and what kind of infrastructure it could be?
-different movements/actions of the body in this space define a different function of the space
-can bodies teach us something more about how to deal with architecture/the space?
-can the practice of "working with the body" change the perception of the public space/architecture?
-can scaffholds become a way of dwelling? of being present (in the public space)
-utopian architecture? decontextualize the objects (shift private/public)
-choreographing/body as a tool
OBJECT/BODY/SPACE = re-learn how to inhabit the public space =
INHABIT = concept of dwelling = private/public spaces = public shelter = scaffhold
Can scaffhold be a way of living the public space?
OBJECT/BODY/SPACE = means to create meaningful relationships with the environment
EMBODIMENT - BODY/MATERIALS - BODY SHAPES THE SPACE
HUMAN/ARCHITECTURE/MATERIALS/TECHNOLOGY - AFFORDANCES OBJECTS - CRITICAL MAKING - DIY CULTURE
idea:
PERFORMANCE INSIDE A SCAFFHOLD AROUND THE CITY CENTER?
(activities you would do at HOME cfr. Lucas Maassen - Milano DOPO Space "The living Room"), maybe staying there for a week?
idea:
SMALL SCAFFHOLD, PICTURES of the performance a an exhibition, bring some elements/JOINTS of the whole construction?
SCAFFOLD (AS A WAY OF DWELLING)
SCAFFOLD / BODY / PUBLIC SPACE
****grasping the world by changing its perception through body/objects/spaces
****relating as making more visible the affordances of our daily objects
view of my room;
am i already living in a scaffholding?
Inox scaffhold
elements and how to assemble
*POST PARANOIA:
-The scaffhold project can raise the question "how can we go back to live the public spaces?" that is as much a social and political question as a spatial one (Aristotele asked it when he was defining politics, and he came back to propose the model of the city); have a look at the time of the Roman Empire (people were living in the streets -teather, baths...);
-we are more and more detached from the use of the public space, need to recreate a relations with it

SHAILOH'S RESEARCH: (proposing a way of recalibrating relationships between human/technology/natural world)
The project (behind its rather utopian premises) serves as a vehicle to raise a theoretical investigation on the relation human/technology
-DIY culture (*Toaster project)
-you can move the structure and build it everywhere
-raises questions about our ability to recreate the technology that we take for granted
-new affordabilities/functions of everyday technologies
-affordances, critical making
-reflection on the ab-use of technologies
-privacy, vulnerability, exposition?
-ALBERO(tree)=HABITUS(appearance)=PRENDERE FORMA(to shape)=ABITO(transformation, to inhabit)
-istructions(*yoko ono SCORES/assembly instructions)

what can you do? what is the purpose?
critical making/working with analogies of elements
