MBIArch Notes: Krunoslav Ivanisin

MBIArch Notes

As mentioned briefly in a previous MBIArch Note, students have selected the design studios (short design studio for fall, and core design studio for spring) as well as the seminars on specialized theory that they will develop throughout the remainder of the year. While the proposals offered in specialized theory touch on a wide range of topics, each course allows a maximum of 10 students to focus and concentrate on a specific subject matter, with the small class size facilitating discussion and debate.

Visiting Professor Krunoslav Ivanisin is currently leading the seminar titled A View from Above: the Middle East, which forms part of the Urban & Territorial Design department. The seminar will attempt to address architectural understanding of the large scale in general, while narrowing in on the geographic region of the Middle East in particular. Using the region as a context, students will investigate the role of architecture and its set of tools in the production of knowledge on such a vast scale. As Ivanisin describes, “the intention of the course is to translate the view from above into an architectural discussion; in other words, to investigate the possibility of observation of the physical form at an absolutely large scale in an‘ARCHITECTONIC’ way”.

Krunoslav Ivanisin is the co-founder of  Ivanisin. Kabashi. Arhitekti  based in Zagreb, and the Dubrovnik Festival of Architecture. He was a teaching assistant at the AF University of Zagreb, and at the ETH Zürich between 2007 and 2011.
