THEWOODWAY
THEWOODWAY, a 14-part video series documenting a pedagogical architecture experiment in Norway (NTNU, 2008), reveals the power of collaborative construction as both educational strategy and spatial research. The project involved eighty first-year architecture students building a one-to-one wooden superstructure, generating eighteen distinct spatial concepts under the guidance of faculty and professionals. Filmed and edited as short episodic reflections, the series frames architecture not as static output but as a processual practice, grounded in participation, negotiation, and continuous interpretation. Across episodes like Smell, Light Organ, and Your Own Way, architecture is approached through the senses, embracing contingency and atmosphere over determinism. The pedagogical framework echoes design-build traditions but expands their scope, embedding critical awareness and improvisational agency within each stage of construction. The series shifts between the tactile, the choreographic, and the sonic, highlighting how material manipulation fosters collective authorship. Far from a didactic exercise, it unfolds as a socially situated inquiry, inviting students to learn through embodiment, error, and dialogue. The presence of artists, critics, and musicians—among them Tony Fretton and El Intruso—underscores the transdisciplinary ethos of the work. As an audiovisual artifact, THEWOODWAY functions simultaneously as documentation, methodology, and experimental film, compressing time and layering voices to reveal an architecture of relations rather than forms. It refuses to monumentalise the final structure, privileging instead the ephemeral choreography of making—the gestures, debates, improvisations, and communal decisions that produce space as a lived phenomenon. The project demonstrates how architecture, when decoupled from productivist imperatives, can become a collective poetics of construction, resonating with pedagogies that value action over representation and experience over abstraction.
