Film without Story/Architecture without Use

In his Text "In Defense of Places", Wim Wenders talks about his way of directing a movie. A very special and interesting part is when he talks about developing the story of his films. For him the story is not the only driving force of a movie, so in his films it's not the story who finds the places and locations where he shoots his scenes, it's the places who tell the story.


According to this we are analyzing a similiar topic in Architecture: "Architecture without a Use"
There are a few examples in Architecture where the use and design follow different approaches or have even don't fit together. Like the Guggenheim in Bilbao or the Hundertwasserhaus.

We want to transform Wim Wenders approach to architecture. In his movies the places are developing the stories. We want to know whats happening when the places create the Architecture beyond recognition of the use. Will it be a buidling or a sculpture. Is it a hybrid or wouldn't you recognize it.
