Learn how to handle tools, paint, babies, machinery, or just listen to your favourite tune. Dance, talk or be liſted up to where you can see how other people make things work. Sit out over space with a drink and tune in to what’s happening elsewhere in the city. Try starting a riot or beginning a painting – or just lie back and stare at the sky.” Cedric Price (with the aid of Gordon Pask) on the multi-channel machinations of the Fun Palace, 1962 e promise of postwar machine-human situations as seen in the work of Cedric Price, Archizoom, and Haus Rucker, with its American strain in the E.A.T., remain unrealized. However, their reappraisal comes at a time when access and economy have intersected with their principles for a sustainable and adaptive environments. Affordable micro-electromechanical components, and mass-consumer technologies allow for architecture that is not simply technocratic and at ease with its own robotics, but pursues an agency of the flexible, and environmental. e Artefactory proposes a reinvention of epochal Guggenheim facilities. Situated on a harbourfront in Scandinavia, this region already has unique a climate and cultural identity. e city of Helsinki enjoys a robust economy, civil services, and cultural infrastructure. New libraries, performaning arts centres and existing galleries create a strong network, for which theArtefactory need not produce an antecedent. Given this condition of autonomy, the Artefactory may claim a higher-order polemic. Following the success of the Guggenheim in the Basque region of Spain, we can not offer greater interest in form. What we would propose is a new experiment in urbanism and citizenship. Artefactory is an engagement in an interior urbanism, an extension of the city within a Guggenheim. is urbanism is generated by articulating an artificial ground - one that is charged with potential and superimposed programming - that supports multiple scales of spaces and human occupancy. is new artificial ground of Helsinki is populated by urban figures that may reconfigure along the raumplan. is space is meant to be open and available to the public, and the figures create rooms within a larger house and form plazas among them. Above the public terrain is an open infrastructural, volumetric envelope that holds the private spaces of offices, administration, management. is envelope is adjustable to mediate levels of light, and interior weather such as rain or snow in the winter. For the artificial ground below the mechatronic envelope, the environment gains agency. site boundary artificial ground / programmable, flexible interior urbanism / grounded objects volumetric shell / second interior Leſt Scenario for an annual calendar of events at the ArteFactory, modeled aſter Moholy-Nagy’s Partiturskizze zu einer Die Mechanische Exzentrik, 1921 (inset).
