GIGA-mapping the Architectural Performance: Appreciation of New Coming Cultures

Original language description

Architectural performance in the means of architecture that reacts to its environment has its strong background in traditional oriental architecture. In the same time, it is perceived as a necessity of our future. Architectures can regulate its internal and external climate and atmospheres in dependency on its material properties and design. In the time of extreme conditions of climatic change, we need to generate environment friendly as well as habitable environments that can gain from previous generations developed in oriental cultures. Considering the refugees’ crisis, within western world, we shouldn’t ask what we lose by accepting different cultures, but how can these cultures enrich us. Tucson, Arizona has desert climate with exchange of dry and wet periods. Are there options to deal with night’s humidity as a potential of bettering the environment in hot and dry seasons? The hygroscopicity of wood or certain stone, natural ventilation, etc. has been widely used feature in the oriental locations. In the time this performance has been forgotten by modern culture, people who experienced them in everyday life can save us from the worst harms of coming environmental changes, thus gaining new identity in new homeland. The workshop will use the methodology of Systems Oriented Design (http://systemsorienteddesign.net/), namely GIGA-mapping, for mapping the socio-cultural as well as environment-performative potentials in oriental architecture for application in Tucson, Arizona.
