Non–Construction – An Architectural Gesture in Artistic Research

Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Non–Construction – An Architectural Gesture in Artistic Research by Ronny Hardliz redefines architecture through the tactile experience rather than traditional construction methods. The book explores architectural art as both a discursive practice and a spatial experience, employing a cinematographic documentary strategy to critically examine the intersections of art, theory, and architectural research. It invites readers to challenge visual conventions and engage with innovative concepts of space, sensuality, and decolonisation within documentary and cinematographic practice.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

By defining a concept of architecture based on the tactile experience and not on construction, this book allows us to explore both discursive practice as the study of architectural art and the integration of architectural art as a discourse of spatial practice.

In order to take on this new lens, Non-Construction utilises a cinematographic documentary image strategy that engages with a critical spatial exploration of current entanglements of art and research at the crossroads of art, theory, and architecture.

A challenge to visual conventions, this book offers conceptual and aesthetic insights into spiralling and voiding sensual experiences, with implications for the decolonisation of the documentary and cinematographic reaching far beyond architecture.
