Movements of design mediation
Mediators create movement. And as Deleuze showed, mediations are new forms of coexistence and creation. To examine what constitutes spatial mediations of design, this paper initiates a study of the future V&A East Collection and Research Centre in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London. The centre will display V&A storage and archives, thus making the design objects and the immaterial archival knowledge and work processes a subject for sensuous and embodied experience through spatial design, material presence and temporal events. The designers are Diller Scofidio + Renfro; an architecture studio known for cross-disciplinary projects that investigate the visual, spatial and bodily across media such as installation, video, sculpture, theatre, performance, exhibitions, text, building and urban design. Their work demonstrates a disciplinary openness, an experimental approach to architectural time and space, and an interest in the virtual. Such qualities are also present in Cedric Price’s influential but never built Fun Palace project developed during the 1960s and designed for a site at Mill Meads - close to the future V&A East. The composition of the Collection and Research Centre's function, the V&A as institution, the site near Mill Meads, and the choice and legacy of architecture suggests an entanglement of potential design cultural mediations, values and flows of meaning to be experienced and perceived as part of the realization. The contribution of this paper is to tentatively explore these relations as virtual and processual aspects of the project.
