RSVP

RSVP Cycles










As Lawrence Halprin notes in his book RSVP is a creative process for collaboration and improvisation, being comprised of four different parts which are Resources, Score, Valuaction, and Performance.

Reference means what we work with whether human or nonhuman elements which include people, their motivation and aims, materials, and  rhythms.

Score is the scenario by which participants take part in the process.

Valuaction analyzes the results of actions or is the feedback of the process based on project value.

Performance is implementation of project.

The most significant parts of this book are dedicated to Scores. In this book Lawrence argues that Scores are means to illustrate reality in a way people can conceive the creative process without experiencing it in reality. Planning for the future events is the essential purpose of a Scoring mechanism. Using some symbols, Scores are defined at the intersection of  a period of time and space to communicate the notions or control the actions of  participants of Resources in RSVP Cycle. Scores are tools which enable us to understand others regardless of cultural and language barriers.

Students were asked to go around Fratton in Portsmouth before the first session to become familiar with St Mary's Church, library, the community center, streets and passages since this year we will be situating our work in a real location within a local community in Fratton, Portsmouth, making it a live project.  This is my personal experience around Fratton, Portsmouth. ST MARY'S CHURCH First place which I visited was St Mary's church. Inside the church, an unfamiliar story was taking place. Extremely high and wooden ceiling and pointed arches along the linear plan of the church evoked a sense of glory, bygone, rhythm and movement. The stained glass windows generously allow...

MY EXPERIENCE OF RHYTHM KNOTS IN THE CLASSROOM, ELDON BUILDING Fourth week (Friday, 18 OCTOBER, 2024 In this week of my academic year at Portsmouth University, students were required to study the first and second chapters of Henri Lefebvre's book named Rhythmanalysis. This book examines spatial and temporal rhythms and their impact on daily life.  Rhythm... , I had heard this word before but this time as a spatial architecture student at Portsmouth university I experienced it in a different way, in a way that caused me to gaze my tutor, Oren, in wonder. I did not know how ubiquitous and  influential Rhythm can be, how we as architects can organize it in our design for example to reach a much more peaceful place, something that in today's hectic and chaotic world is our urgent need...

Feminist approach in Architecture

Feminist approach to critical spatial practice by  Jane Rendell Seventh week (Friday, 8 November, 2024)   One of the first architects who brought up feminist debate in architecture was Jennifer Bloomer. Merging her drawings of female anatomy into architecture, she illustrated that the feminine can be a crucial part of architectural design. Discussions related to the correlation between gender and space emerged in 1990s. Feminist work from the 1990s by Bloomer and others mentions a gendered analysis of architecture, different forms of architectural representations in a space, and creating a space which challenges sexism and providing more equitably in spaces. Rendell describes the notion of practice in spatial practice and practice-led research as a process which happens not only through the design of buildings but also through the activities of using, occupying, and experiencing them, and through the various modes of writing and imagining used to describe, analyze, a...
