DYSLEXIA_LITERATURE_IMAGINATION
/ YEREVAN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY AND ARCHIVE
A
collection of 20th century novels form the conceptual basis of the
thesis and a series of abstract allegorical artworks attempt to translate
visceral ambiguities of the imagination into abstract two and three dimensional
space. Each artwork responds directly to individual and collective themes and
scenarios within the novels; exploring space, atmosphere, composition,
ephemerality, form and colour.
Initial
research of language and literature lead to site selection in Yerevan, Armenia,
a country with a tumultuous past that has origins at the very beginning of
recorded history. A period of Intensive contextual analysis revealed a country
is saturated in vibrant colour and aroma with a rich, complex history of
language and literature and a diverse cultural grain which is reflected in the
physical environment and its native people.
The
program is derived from ideas explored within the design studio and as a
response to the unique political and cultural context of Armenia and the city
of Yerevan. The building is fundamentally a repository of knowledge that
distributes and provides access to information, fulfilling its archival purpose
of preserving knowledge and its public purpose of accessing knowledge.
The
supremacy of the book has been challenged by the digital revolution. Now
knowledge is virtually everywhere: it has broken free of the constraint of
buildings. Electronic knowledge is nowadays available to everybody, practically
everywhere, however, just as the printing
press changed access to knowledge, information technology has revolutionized
the library. The library is no longer a functional container but a cultural
icon, a symbol of intellectual regeneration and metaphor for contemporary
zeitgeist society.
Architectural
composition draws on the exploitation of spatial and architectonic qualities
inherent within the artworks. Certain scenarios within the novels are manifest
within the architecture and it is possible to imagine distinct situations in
terms of their unique spatial relationships. The building is conceived as a
complex network that establishes a series of interconnected relationships
between; scenarios within the novels, programmatic, departmental and ancillary
functions of the building, intricacies of the libraries collection, predicted
events within the building and their fusion with the cultural and physical
characteristics of the site.
