“Rethinking The Royal Docks _ Phase III: Plasticity”, Millennium Mills, London, UK _ Student: Jervin Tiongson / BA3 _ 12.05.2023

The theme of Transpositional Plasticity has two basic aspects: the notion of transposition has to do with the ability of analysis existing precedents and sites and developing operational methods of architectonic synthesis for other contexts and modalities. The notion of plasticity has to do with the capacity to receive form (e.g., clay) and the capacity to give form (e.g., plastic arts). Talking about the transpositional plasticity of a site thus amounts to thinking of the city as something modifiable, ‘formable’, and formative at the same time, while considering previous contextual conditions and historical typologies that might influence and instigate new architectonic possibilities. BAS2 will aim to focus on a radical critique of the typical approach to form, that is completely divorced from a morphological and Cartesian design approach. This studio will explore the concepts of transposition and plasticity, their malleable and modifiable properties, and apply them to the aptitude of the given sites to respond, remodel, reorganize, and continually change for better ability to adapt to new situations. The proposition is an investigation to the possibility of a new urban morphology that is responsive to the complex network of systems within the growing contemporary urban landscape. Mapping, drawing, and model making (utilizing graphic, physical, digital, analogue, and time-based registers) will be used as methods of investigation and design speculation.
