AWC 31 – ARCHITECTURE FOR MUSEUMS
Schinkel went to Italy twice. The first time as an aspiring architect, the second time as an established one (his alibi a study trip for the Altes Museum, then under construction). During both trips, Schinkel kept a diary, relentlessly recording what he saw and what he liked. Was he making a collection of possible architectures, of architectural tropes, of urban ideas, of formal negotiations? In order to understand Schinkel, we need to understand what he looked at and what he collected. In this studio we did exactly that. We investigated everything he saw, and then selected what we considered relevant to Schinkel. We meticulously redrew these architectures and recollected them in cahiers, reminiscent to the ones Schinkel made of his own architecture in his seminal Sammlung Architektonischer Entwürfe.
