Highlight Modul Architecture & Material\u00a0\u2013 Parallax <\/strong>Semester work by Elion Bytyqi, Lindon Bytyqi, Tobias Furter, Art Lubishtani, Rinor Rushiti<\/h3>\n\n\n

Close one eye, and with the other, open eye view the screen displaying the text you are reading. Now close the open eye and simultaneously open the closed one: the screen appears to shift several centimetres \u2013 back and forth, back and forth \u2013 as is evident from its relationship to the background. This is parallax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term \u2018parallax\u2019 (ancient Greek: \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03ac\u03bb\u03bb\u03b1\u03be\u03b9\u03c2 par\u00e1llaxis change, alternation) describes the apparent shift or change of an object when the observer adopts different positions. Applying this phenomenon, which seems to be merely a shift of one\u2019s own perception, to reality itself reveals the inconsistency of the world. Inherent antagonisms are materialised in objects and the space around us: sometimes objects appear like this, sometimes like that, and there is no ultimate truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, once we become conscious of this inconsistency the parallax shift opens up a gap, a possible space in between, and we can make use of this phenomenon as a design strategy: the multiple meanings inherent in the spaces of the present become an opportunity, ambiguity becomes a potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although architecture primarily separates and defines \u2013 drawing a line is always like drawing a border that includes or excludes space \u2013 we are advocating an architecture of joining that tries to undermine borders spatially and as an interface connects and extends spaces. In the Architecture & Material module we approach this  fluctuating space of relationships and explore it by means of various media. Ultimately we translate it into materialised architectonic interventions which rethink the relationship between the House and the City, Inside and Outside, Architecture and Landscape, in order to create spaces of community and co- existence between and beyond existing limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
