Michael Yoshimura
This exercise is a reminder of the phenomenological origin of lines as three-dimensional entities possessing unique materiality, weight, geometric propensities, structural properties, sensorial qualities that are time and culture specific.

LABYRINTH LIKE
A labyrinth-like space for the body and the mind-made of 111 sticks.

A series of explorations question the modularity and dimensions that are generated by the metric and the foot and inch systems pondering the difference between dimensional and proportional scale.

As a way to become aware of the significance of chosen tools, their intentional and unintentional narrative capacity, and bearing on design, this exercise reconnects us—one by one—and 1 : 1 with the drawing’s ability to generate drawing-thinking and not mere illustrations of architecture, to tell a story.
This exercise relies on a tension between the shifting notion of footprint and plan counterposing them on two sides of a sheet of Mylar.
Building on the notion of “disegno rilevato” (relief drawing, Antonio Averulino Filarete) students build a

CONVERSION
The idea of architecture in conversion can be read on multiple levels to account for the meaningful assimilation of unexpected chance events, material transmutations, multimodal reception of synesthetic experiences, and the turning of corners to unravel a story.
