Olafur Eliasson: Space is Process
Space
[leave a space]
do we mean the same thing...?
Space is one of these notions that you can find in thousand different contexts.
space alone, space as opposed to time or space in spatiotemporal continuum...?
there is no clear definitions of space... everytime that someone tries to articulate one it slips, moves, mutates. It doesn't stay still, it is in a continuous construction, it is always in becoming.
So, I will turn back to an artist and not an architect to help me formulate an understanding of space. Olafur Eliasson(2008) will agree that “it is crucial to recognize [space's] temporal aspect. Space does not simply exist in time; it is of time.” It is this continuous becoming of the space that affects and is been affected by users' actions that architects were trying to express in today's twofold workshop in Bartlett at UCL.
