'Spaces of Reciprocity' is an architectural research project exploring the connections between the physical and digital realms, aiming to challenge the Western dualistic view of the body and the environment. Using Jorn Utzon's "Can Lis" project in Mallorca as a case study, the project uses recordings of sight, sound, and emotion to imagine alternative architectures.

'Spaces of Reciprocity' is an architectural research project exploring reciprocal relationships between the human and the digital and how these can trigger alternative ways of perceiving, understanding and producing space. The research is driven by embodied experience and richer engagements with new technologies and traditional tools to challenge Western body-environment dualism in architectural practice and instead consider Eastern principles based on the interconnectedness between humans and nature.

Jorn Utzon's project "Can Lis" in Mallorca, Spain, is documented through bodily and technological means across three specific spaces focusing on sight, sound and emotion. These recordings form the basis for the three chapters in the project, herein referred to as 'Gestures'. The readings were used to experiment with reciprocities between body and technology, to imagine how an 'other' architecture may emerge. Each Gesture places the viewer within a designed scenario or cinematic experience. The Gestures speculate how reconsidering visual expertise, aural perception or bodily expression can reshape our relationships with the environment and human body, using architecture as a fundamental tool.

As a result of the global pandemic, film emerged as the appropriate medium for communicating the project. The final artefact is designed to question themes of interconnectedness and impermanence, experimenting with the relationship between the viewer and the work, the screen and physical space, in a time of extreme solitude.

"Spaces of Reciprocity" 是一個建築研究項目,探索了肉體和數位之間的相互關係,以及這些關係如何開始觸發感知、理解和產生空間的替代方式。該研究由身體經驗驅動,並與新技術和傳統工具進行更豐富的交互,以挑戰建築實踐中的西方身體-環境二元論,而是考慮基於人與自然相互聯繫的東方原則。

Jorn Utzon 的 “Can Lis” 項目位於西班牙馬略卡,通過身體和技術手段在三個特定空間中進行了記錄,專注於視覺、聲音和情感。這些記錄形成了該項目的三個章節的基礎,這裡稱之為'姿勢'。這些讀數被用來實驗身體和技術之間的相互作用,以想像如何可能出現一種'其他'的建築。每一種姿勢將觀眾置於一個設計的情境中,或者是電影體驗。姿勢推測如何重新考慮視覺經驗、聽覺感知或身體表達有可能重塑我們與環境和人體的關係,並使用建築作為基本工具。

由於全球大流行病的影響,電影成為了傳達該項目的適當媒介。最終的產品設計用來質疑相互聯繫和短暫性的主題,並與觀眾與作品、屏幕和實體空間的關係進行實驗,在極度孤獨的時候。


Jade Tang

During her time at the RCA, Jade has explored alternative ways of sensing and perceiving phenomena and the built environment. Jade is interested in a multidisciplinary approach, where her work to date has employed a variety of mediums, particularly sound, moving-image, performance and architecture. Jade's work is strongly driven by embodied experience and a rich engagement with new technologies and traditional tools, allowing her to explore alternative readings of experience and disrupt our existing relationships with space. After graduating from the RCA, Jade intends to pursue these interests further.

Jade previously completed her BSc in Architecture at The Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University, in 2016, having been taught by Professor Peter Salter in her final year. She then worked as an architectural assistant in London (2016-2018), where she gained experience on private-residential and commercial projects. During this period, Jade had also taken part in the voluntary design and build projects for local communities in Indonesia with her ex-colleagues at CAUKIN Studio (2016) and in Japan as part of the Architectural Association Visiting School (20Jade'sJade's first-year project at the RCA with A'S12, 'Listening to the Void', was shortlisted for the RIBA West Award (2019), where a selection of her work was also exhibited at the 2019 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism. Jade also showed a piece of her second-year project, 'Spaces of Reci'rocity', with ADS6 in Seminario 12 Mexico City (2020).

在 RCA 工作期間,Jade 探索了感知和感知現像以及建築環境的替代方法。 傑德對多學科方法感興趣,迄今為止,她的作品採用了多種媒介,特別是聲音、移動圖像、表演和建築。 傑德的工作受到具體經驗以及對新技術和傳統工具的豐富參與的強烈推動,使她能夠探索經驗的替代解讀並破壞我們與空間的現有關係。 從 RCA 畢業後,Jade 打算進一步追求這些興趣。

Jade 於 2016 年在卡迪夫大學威爾士建築學院獲得了建築學學士學位,最後一年由 Peter Salter 教授授課。 隨後,她在倫敦擔任建築助理(2016-2018 年),在那裡她獲得了私人住宅和商業項目的經驗。 在此期間,Jade 還與她在 CAUKIN Studio 的前同事一起參與了印度尼西亞當地社區的志願設計和建造項目(2016 年),並作為建築協會訪問學校的一部分(20Jade'sJade 第一年 與 A'S12 在 RCA 合作的項目“Listening to th' Void”入圍 RIBA West Award(2019 年),她的精選作品也在 2019 年首爾建築與城市主義雙年展上展出。Jade 還展示了 這是她第二年項目“互惠空間”的一部分,與 ADS6 一起在墨西哥城第 12 屆研討會(2020 年)中進行。

'Spaces of Reciprocity'

When exposed to its immediate environment, the human body undergoes a series of unnoticeable transformations, most of which are widely overlooked. Despite this being an active exchange, we nevertheless seem increasingly detached from our physical body and the significance of its situation in space.
