WORK DESCRPITION:
The research and teaching method of the spring 2019 semester of the "Energy and Climate" workshop was to choose an element that is very often present in interior design: water.
The interior spaces must be rainproof and impervious to capillary action, the walls must stop the transmission of steam; in interiors we must drink, wash and cook. The interior designer must therefore manage these different forms of water, draw the path of its flow, the trajectory of the steam, spatialize its use in order to invent new forms and new programs that would result from a particular attention to this element.
Evaporation, ventilation, hydration are thus some of the ways in which water appears in interior design. Vapour barriers and waterproofing are modes of water management. As for water, it has different states: liquid, drinking water, rainwater, waste water, or gaseous as humidity.
The intention of the workshop was to highlight an indispensable, necessary and constraining element of interior architecture, in order to discover its formal and programmatic potential.
