Pamphlet 02. EKS TÈMPORE / TEN DRAWINGS FOR GELLNER

Pamphlet 02. EKS TÈMPORE / TEN DRAWINGS FOR GELLNER accompanies the exhibition and illustrates the ongoing outcomes of the didactics of the Interior Architecture Culture and Practices course (coordinated by Mattia Marzaro).

Eks Tèmpore [eks tèmpore] locuz. avv., lat. - Suddenly, without preparation: to say, speak, or draw ex tempore (with this sign). It is also used elliptically as a masc. noun, especially in art schools: to make an ex tempore or even an extempore. Cf. Extempore. 

The exhibition Eks Tèmpore / Ten Drawings for Gellner, set up in the Library of the University of Trieste - Polo di Gorizia, starting from the definition of Eks Tèmpore as the last act also that of setting up, gathers a collection of memories, experiences, objects and projects resulting from the "experimental" didactic activity carried out during Architectural Interior Culture and Practices course (academic year 2023/24). Activities in which a group of students, no more than 25, from the second to the fifth year of the course, after a period of frontal theoretical teaching, undertook the activation of extemporaneous design experiences, classroom exercises, visits to companies, visits to famous architectures, still able to dictate their own poetic response. Hence, the experience with Dolomiti Contemporanee and Progetto Borca at the former Eni Village in Corte di Cadore. A direct experience in the field, where the students could measure architecture at all scales, touch objects and materials, and understand the intrinsic relationship between the spatial continuity of the interior and the exterior in a kind of unicum between architecture and landscape.
