The following thesis is comprised of a pair of projects focused on the making of architecture through the concept of framing. The work was conducted at the Academia d'Architettura in Mendrisio, Switzerland, under the direction of Peter Zumthor, Miguel Kreisler and Myriam Sterling, emphasizing the relationship between ordered structures and contextual propriety. The making of architecture is inherently most pure when approached as the subtraction of unnecessary elements and a distillation of what is required for a specific program on a particular site. Life is given to structure through habitation; therefore the senses of the inhabitant must be engaged through interaction with the philosophical and tectonic elements of a place. In this didactic, the structure is made complete by its inhabitation and it completes the sensory framing of place by establishing the vantage point of the inhabitant. The confluence of inhabiting space and marking place together result in an architecture of experience. / Master of Architecture

<p>Pojam scenskog dizajna označava oblast<br />profesionalnog, umetničkog, kustoskog,<br />teorijsko-kritičkog i edukativnog delovanja<br />koja je nastala pro&scaron;irenjem pojma i oblasti<br />scenografije. Kao polje profesionalnog<br />delovanja u pozori&scaron;tu, scenski dizajn<br />obuhvata različte oblasti scenskog<br />stvarala&scaron;tva, objedinjenih u procesu<br />nastanka prostora pozori&scaron;ne predstave.<br />Kao kompleksna umetnička i kustoska<br />disciplina, scenski dizajn pripada polju<br />ukr&scaron;tanja pozori&scaron;ta, arhitekture i vizuelne<br />umetnosti u interdisciplinarnu umetnost.<br />Osvajanjem prostora &bdquo;između&ldquo; uspostavljen<br />je otvoreni model umetničkog istraživanja i<br />delovanja, pa ovakvu vrstu pro&scaron;irenja<br />možemo smatrati pokretačem velikog broja<br />novih ili transformisanih stvaralačkih praksi.<br />Delo scenskog dizajna može nastati u<br />svakom stvaralačkom procesu koji<br />podrazumeva scenski način mi&scaron;ljenja i<br />upotrebu scenskih sredstava, a koji za cilj<br />ima realizaciju prostora scenskog<br />događaja. U radu je prikazano, analizirano i<br />vrednovano deset studija slučaja<br />umetničkih i kustoskih praksi u oblasti<br />scenskog dizajna, čime je ukazano na<br />raznovrsnost ishoda, umetničkih formi i<br />sredstava, različitost ambijenata u kojima<br />su dela izvedena, vrste publike i javnosti<br />kojima se obraćaju, kao i specifičnosti<br />načina njihovog nastanka i raznovrsnost<br />upotrebe medijskih linija. Takođe, prikaz<br />razvoja scenskog dizajna van prostora<br />pozori&scaron;ta omogućio je ustanovljavanje tri<br />njegove ključne karakteristike &ndash;<br />vi&scaron;emedijsku prirodu scenskog dizajna,<br />posebnu ulogu prostora u delima scenskog<br />dizajna i uspostavljanje specifičnog odnosa<br />između izvođača i publike.</p> / <p>Term scene design relates to professional,<br />artistic, curatorial, theoretical and<br />educational practices developed from the<br />expanded meaning of scenography &ndash; as<br />semantic category and artistic discipline. In<br />professional theatre practice, scene design<br />connects several artistic disciplines, joint<br />together in the process of creating a space<br />for theatre performance. As a complex<br />artistic and curatorial practice, scene design<br />stands at the crossroads of theatre,<br />architecture and visual arts, united in the<br />field of interdisciplinary art. By taking the<br />space &ldquo;in between&rdquo; disciplines, scene<br />design becomes an open model for artistic<br />research and practice, serving as a core<br />drive for a large number of new or<br />transformed artistic and curatorial works.<br />Every creative process which includes<br />scenic way of thinking and scenographic<br />means of expression, and aims at<br />realisation of performing space, can be<br />defined as scene design artwork. The<br />research included presentation, analysis<br />and evaluation of ten case studies of artistic<br />and curatorial practices of scene design.<br />The analysis aimed at showcasing diversity<br />of artistic outcomes, forms and means of<br />expression, variety of performing<br />environments and types of audience, as<br />well as specific circumstances in which<br />works were created or diversity of media<br />used. At the same time, insight into<br />development of scene design works outside<br />theatre practice resulted in establishing<br />three of its key characteristics &ndash; multimedia<br />nature of scene design, essential role of<br />space in scene design works and specific<br />relation between performer and audience.</p>
