"The house shelters daydreams, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace. Thought and experience are not the only things that sanction human values. The values that belong to daydreaming mark humanity in its depths. Daydreaming even has a privilege of autovalorization. It derives direct pleasure from its own being." (Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space) What kind of space do our dreams inhabit? How does one‘s daydream recollect a memory in such a way to reconstruct a new reality? Professor Anthony Viscardi from Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, USA, came as a guest to lead a small group of German students through an architectural experiment: The construction of a "daydream machine", an architectural object. Initially two plaster blocks, random structures, made the starting point for several design exercises dealing with the design principles of space and form and issues of materiality, structure and a phenomenology of our environment. We then tried to make architecture the very seat of imagined movements, dreamt reality, a place for daydreams to inhabit, a daydream machine. I learned more about the importance of accepting a form that cannot be changed and the ability to read it correctly. Since the wood, paper and wire used for the construction did not give many restrictions, we got into a dialog with the pure form.
