Craftsmanship in Architecture
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2014) Herres, Uli Matthias; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
In my dissertation at the ETH Zurich and the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, I examine the role that crafted production of buildings plays for architectural space. A crucial point is the question of specific forms of knowledge. On the one hand, both craftsmanship and architectural design rely heavily on tacit forms of knowledge (skills, experience) in addition to communicable knowledge. Secondly,the erection of built architecture can be seen as a system of distributed knowledge,where the transfer of knowledge from the architect towards the craftspeople is crucial for the successful implementation of an architectural concept into physical space. The methodology includes the investigation of case study buildings. One aspect of the survey could be named "Reverse Design". Here, the process of the making of a building is re-experienced to be able to consciously reflect upon design decisions and problem-solving strategies. One aim is to make aspects of the tacit knowledge (experience) of the construction process communicable.
