FAST-ARQ

Zusammenfassung

Fast-Arq is an experience for learning Architectural Design III and IV of the third course, which is linked to the creative fields of architecture. During 2016-2017 there were 9 Fast-Arq students. Students and teachers have responded mostly by contributing their time and skills to the project. The dynamic is free and voluntary. The students are advised which instruments they will need for the work two days in advance. They then carry out the work in a common classroom with full interaction. In architecture, the ideas come from desires that are sketched from sets of data. At the start of the project the accuracy doesn’t matter so much, but essential to the process are actions inspired by any detail, almost intuitive, automatic, fragmented and imperfect. In the practical sense, it deals with training in the skills of a trade that moves in increasingly complex professional settings. Fast-Arq also teaches how to react quickly to opportunities. The realm of reflection also develops problem solving skills in the architects, who so often have to come up with a piece of wisdom as if by magic.
