Confirmed as a NSW Architects Registration Board CPE listed activity
Mark Cashman begins by examining an article on Great Australian Places appreciated by a range of people, postulating unifying architectural qualities that may evoke a rapport from disparate individuals. He then draws parallels with his own cathartic experiences of a selection of great architectural works, attempting to find defining threads for what makes great space and place.
Mark shows how MCK [Marsh Cashman Koolloos] employs some of these distilled architectural devices to attempt to create tranquil and sublime environments that strive for an individual experience of the spiritual – of the ‘other’.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this course you should be able to:
- Define what, according to MCK, separates architecture from being mere building and the importance of this.
- Examine techniques that architecture can continue to employ to create ‘great’ and dramatic spaces; tranquillity and calmness; and an experience of ‘the other’.
- Understand Mark Cashman’s view on the importance of narrative in creating a sense of place, and in turn good space.
- Appreciate the complexity inherent in the concept of space and Mark’s belief that its contradictory and ambiguous nature could contribute to good space.
- Comprehend some of the ways in which MCK utilise a building’s situation to enhance the architectural experience.
