Architecture And The Experience Of Architecture By Bernard Tschumi

Bernard Tschumi was a one of the few architects that connected with the people and essential focused on the inhabitants. He did not care how you should inhabit it, but what you experience from it. These experiences essentially become stories of events that are eventually retold events. Tschumi argues that these events or in other words sequences that establish a memory of the proceeding frame or space. These sequences often tell a story or follow a scenario. The architecture itself becomes part of the experience and therefore, becomes a script and tells a narrative. Architects often find themselves telling a story within the design concept as well. Now Superstudio, focuses on the reconstruction and metamorphosis of an object. This object can be influence the social communication to become a form of reality and can essential become a direct experience of reality. Which relates to the creating spaces in a building to have scenarios that can be interpreted in many ways. This relates back to Tschumi relation to sequences. However, through the use of scripts Superstudio tells a narrative of the architecture and the experience of reality. One example that we see a narrative being told through, is the reflection from the window of the Continuous Monument, which is a superstructure that runs through the city of the New York. This Continuous monument reflects upon the ancient skyscrapers and essentially preserves a memory in time were cities were built.

Bernard Tschumi primarily focused one the situations, which he refers to them as sequences and claims that they are cumulative. These frame of sequences come from side by side and they essentially establish a memory of the prior frame and often connect to an experience. But also to follow a...

... have scenarios that can be interpreted in many ways. Superstudio describes that Continuous Monument as, “… a form of architecture all equally emerging from a single continuous environment: the world rendered uniform by technology, culture and all the other inevitable forms of imperialism.” The continuous monument serves as a testimonial that architecture is the center of the relationships of technology.

All in all architects are referred as sort of authors of buildings. They create scenarios for life itself. Even when it comes to the design process an architect places a scenario or a character to develop the design further. As stated by Neutelings Riedijk Architects, “Spaces in a building relate to each other like scenes in a theatrical performance”. Architecture is the telling of a story. The buildings itself are the backdrop of in which life is represented.
