Performance Architecture 2012 1

0- Abstract Concerning the challenge Performance Architecture, wepropose a public art installation consisting on a structurethat on the inside will allow the passage of the interactors.system of capture and amplification of sound that amplifythe steps and sound made by the people inside.

“The Passage”


1- Introduction

Here will be presented all the concept of the structure, all the construction process and the accomplished steps till the final piece. And also will be here presented the total budget of thestructure, his implementation (with a detailed descrip-tion), material of the installation, maintenance, technicaldrawings, electric installation and interactivity. Describes also the chosen place to the piece imple-mentation.

2- Conceptual description The public art project for the challenge “Guimarães 2012 – European capital of culture”, aims to explore the interest of the people with the unknown object, by it’s exterior futurist structure, without any window or tips of what’s going on in the inside, and by the inside sound installation that will confuse the spectator in the sense that she will be confused by the multiplied sounds recorded from her own steps and voice. We want to appeal to the unknown, showing that it’s like a natural instinct, the human wish to know beyound the unknown, desiring to enter into the privacy of the other and controlling the reality that surrounds him. We’ve chosen this concepts because of the busy social life that our society live and the fact thatnowadays we can’t have full privacy, everyone insociety can be known and exposed. This project is the result of a creative partner-ship between multimedia artists and architectors.

3- Description of the projectimplementation

The installation of the passage will be a parallelepiped with 2,5m width and height, and 10m length and the two doors will have 1m width and 2m height. It will be constructed with concrete molds, showing a contemporary architecture but a bit primitive giving at the same time a unfin-ished environment, to give more dinamic to the people movements we placed mismatched entries, the inside would be black and the floor will have a aluminum plate to make more sound and also will have two antechamber to block exterior sounds and give the structure more effect. On the inside it would have 4 columns, 2 on each side that will being reproducing the sound captured by the mi-crophone and amplifier that would amplified the sounds made by the people that enter on the inside. When they enter, they could hear their sound and the other peoples sound, reproduced in real time. By day the light will be turn off and the passage would be only illuminated by the sun light and bynight would have next to the doors movement sen-

sors that will turn on the lights during their pas-sage. For the maintenance of this project, the insidehave to be clean 3 times a week and the outside1 time a week. For the maintenance of this work of ublic art, the inside have to be clean 3 times a week and don’t have to be clean outside. The transport of the aluminum passage will be done by a company of metallurgy that makes the transportation and the installation since it’s a struc-ture of a big dimension and it have to be welded. The lights, sensors and sound system, have to be purchased on the internet or in the shop and the installation will be made by an electrician and the

sound system by a sound technical. To build the structure will be necessary to wait about one week to have all the material available.

3.4- Acomplishment

Each material have their own transport due to theirmaintenance and installation. The structure will be constructed with concrete moldsand the floor will have a aluminum plate, the inside would be black. The structure will be constructed by a company and the transport of the aluminum floor will be done by othercompany of metallurgy that makes the transportation and the installation and the lights, sensors and sound system, have to be purchased on the internet or in the shop and the installation will be made by an electrician and the sound system by a sound technical. For the maintenance of this work of public art, the inside have to be clean 3 times a week and don’t have to be clean outside.
