Dogma, Field of Walls, 2012<\/strong> Prefix: Stad- (place, city, town) The stadium is a paradoxical type that is economically private but socially public. By redefining the passive stadium as an active typological archipelago, architects empower themselves by creating an urban phenomena.<\/p>\n \u2018The word type presents less the image of a thing to copy or imitate completely than the idea of an element which ought itself to serve as a rule for the model.\u2019 – Quatrem\u00e8re de Quincy, \u201cType\u201d in Encyclop\u00e9die M\u00e9thodique, vol. 3, trans. Samir Youn\u00e9s, reprinted in The Historical Dictionary of Architecture of Quatrem\u00e8re de Quincy (London: Papadakis Publisher, 2000)<\/p>\n The stadium \u2018type\u2019 has often been driven by economic private forces into an icon, though it is also a public venue established on political and social grounds. Building identity is independent of its function as argued by Rossi, through a typological discourse the architect can empower his role through abstration and mapping, which could directly confront the fragmented urban context with autonomy.<\/p>\n The discourse of type as an idea and a model can be traced back to Piranesi, Durand and Quatremere. The type as a projective instrument through mapping, has been diagnostic in identifying the idea of the city and projecting new grounds for architectural experimentation, according to Vidler. In Ungers\u2019 Berlin Archipelago, Aureli argued typological mapping could reflect the individuality of the urban artifact\/archipelago and criticize the infinite nature of urbanization.<\/p>\n Christopher Lee has been looking at the serial operation on political urban types like the city wall, in his teaching and works, where typological reasoning could allow the emergence of \u2018deeper and richer structure of typicalities\u2019. In Moussavi\u2019s book the typological changes of stadiums from 1927 to 2012 are traced and analyzed, as a reference.<\/p>\n The stadium, as typological archipelago, could be redefined upon its coupling of part\/whole, tiered levels, place of arriving\/gathering, interiority\/exteriority, wall\/entry, etc.<\/p>\n The extreme speed and scale of urbanization in emerging developing countries, have been driven by efficiency and speed, with no relevance to the Western discourse of organization and planning in a typological approach.<\/p>\n A possible design object shall be a new \u2018stadium\u2019 to presuppose the distinctive urban character in the demolished Wulihe stadium. The site shall be in close proximity to the urban context so the forces that drive typological changes can be studied through projective mapping. The \u2018stadium\u2019 shall be of the same size as the previous one, though the typological configuration could allow change in size, form, material.<\/p>\n In Rossi\u2019s Architecture of the City, the city is \u2018essentially political and administrative and not residential\u2019. Programs shall be aimed to resolve new political, social and urban demands, e.g. gathering spaces, learning institutions, recreational facilities, etc. Phasing shall be considered to explore new typologies of form and use. Mapping is firstly used to identify the problem, then adaptive model prototypes are made to assess the influence, finally performative effects are applied as a form of mediation.

\nA possible test case shall be a new stadium to replace the Mandela National Stadium, which was built totally by Chinese capital and expertise through the \u2018stadium diplomacy\u2019. Originally as a political gesture to secure oil resource benefits, these numerous African stadiums could be typologically transformed to act as social and political incubators of communities and diplomacy.<\/p>\nHOW?<\/h1>\n

\nStep 01 – City Scale 1:500 or 1:1000\/Drawing & Model\/Mapping (due Dec 17)
\nMapping is used to formulate the typological paradox and identify the urban types through studying the planning and cultural factors.
\nStep 02 – Building Scale 1:100\/Drawing & Model\/Making (due Review 01)
\nSecondly, form\/program are analyzed through section and modified to cope with the problem.
\nStep 03 – Building 1:100 & Detail Section 1:50\/Drawing & Model\/Making (due Review 02)
\nThirdly, the synthesis of the building through phasing adaptive to the urban parameters.
