Margem Material: Material-thinking através do dispositivo artístico-laboratorial Crude

Abstract

'MATERIAL MARGEM: Material-thinking through the artistic-laboratory device Crude' is a material-based approach that incorporates practical knowledge of materials at different stages of a project's development. This approach considers three essential aspects: design and construction; the incorporation of personal experiences, that is, embodied experience; and the use of materials that may be considered unconventional. Considering the standardization of certain materials in architecture and the environmental implications resulting from the unbalanced extraction of these raw materials, Crude is implemented, a project focused on wasted materials and industrial leftovers for architecture and art. The research is organized into three moments: 1) the place, memory and the role of questioning through making-knowledge; 2) analysis of workshops, laboratories and exhibitions developed within the Crude scope; 3) exploration of openings and complexities in the design process, the not-knowing-yet. The aim is to give voice to materials that are often neglected and subsequently discarded, and bring the body closer to the pedagogical-professional process and practice in architecture.
