Moving Parts is an architectural representation course that combines a mode of thinking about architecture through parts with an under-theorized mode of representation: animations. Rather than seeing existing structures as being static and absolute, Moving Parts treats them as material full of potential energy, ready to be disassembled and re-assembled, in part or in whole. Digital modeling and basic animation tools are used to imbue the disassembled parts with carefully designed movement. On one hand, the impetus for such movement will emerge from revealing the underlying patterns, logics, and systems that undergird our society as translated into building tectonics. On the other hand, movement is used to generate a narrative of architecture undergoing perpetual change, considering the role of a building within larger networks, where material is accumulated and relocated in accordance to economic and political negotiations. In summary, by moving parts, architectural representation can visualize the forces that bring form together toward making familiar environments oddly new.
