The site of the new pavilion is located just east of the historical centre of the city of Poznan, on the touristic connection between the rynek, main square and the cathedral island. The main fields of business that gave Poznan it’s economic importance and make it the second productive city of Poland after Warsaw are commerce and industries. As part of this historical heritage, the site of the former gasworks is located just beside the city’s centre and today presents a collection of outstanding architectures of neogothic style. made in brick. The current program of the buildings is gas company administration, storage and disuse. via @____thenomad

La reconnaissance de l’architecture moderne comme patrimoine est toujours délicate. La nécessite de conservation, de préservation de bâtiments remarquable de la période des années 30 au milieu des années 1970 se heurte aux sempiternels arguments de laideur, de manque de noblesse, de réalisation en béton… via .@urbain_

Nieto Sobejano Combinatorial Space Designing Fabrication series curated by Alan Dempsey Date: 1/3/2012
Time: 18:00:00
Venue: Lecture Hall The practice Nieto Sobejano is most interested in projects that seem to emerge from the attempt to connect anomalies, associations of random, arbitrary facts, which are freely available and need only an idea to explain them. Since arbitrariness is hardly compatible with the coherence that the practice of architecture demands, Nieto Sobejano feel obliged to establish certain rules to work within the existing or created limits that allow disparate elements to compose an intelligible portrait, as with the pieces of a puzzle. This interpretation of the project as a mosaic, of fragments forming a unitary whole, questions the existence of a conscious starting point as an original and unique moment. It acknowledges, rather, that the key element of an architectural piece resides in the ties between unrelated events. The idea that every work mirrors another suggests an architecture conceived as a combinatorial mechanism, a play of multiple reflections in which work only takes on meaning when viewed as a whole. via @____thenomad

Experimental practices in architectural history, theory, and criticism -- organized by David Gissen... Following the column’s reconstruction in 1873, various groups have called for the Vendôme Column to be destroyed again. But instead of destroying this rebuilt monument once more, we ask that another reconstruction join the reconstructed column: We, the undersigned, ask that the Mound of Vendôme be rebuilt in the plaza to commemorate the historical and radical events of 1871. The mound is a symbol of revolution and the column’s destruction, but it is also a symbol of the Communard’s interest in urban care, preservation, and the future of their city. It should be built again. via @____thenomad

Patrik Schumacher in conversation with Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto
Published in: Marco Poletto & Claudia Pasquero, Systemic Architecture - Operating Manual for the Self Organizing City, Routledge, London 2012. [...]MP: Machines have been always part of the history of architecture; however recently the “machinic” in architecture has acquired a new meaning, expanding the mechanical significance it has acquired during the industrial
revolution. What relevance do you think the notion of the machine can acquire in redefining architecture and its relationship with technology? PS: There are a number of avenues to consider here. “Machinic” sometimes means nothing other than avoiding preconceived ideas by harnessing blind material or computational processes. This is certainly a powerful heuristic. I also like your insistence on a new conception of materiality where the matter of architecture is freed from the essentialist conception that considers it as a formless entity regulated by transcendental geometric rules, and it becomes an active, generative force instead. I also would subscribe to your concept of the eco-Machine[...] http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415596084/

Crowd funded urbanism, a major trend to come ? I Make Rotterdam is a crowd funding initiative launched by the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR) and the architecture firm ZUS. The objective is to raise money for a pedestrian bridge connecting the city’s Central Station with one of the prime biennal locations. The main idea of crowd-funding urbanism is making projects possible that are not interesting for the government to pay for, but appeal to the audience. in this example, each contributor gets a plank with his or her name on it.

In 1958, a group of young Japanese architects gathered for a barbecue to celebrate the completion of one of their revolutionary new buildings. This run-of-the-mill act of comradery – unthinkable among today’s relentlessly competing architects – led to the formation of a movement that would play a crucial role in the rebuilding and reimagining of postwar Japan: Metabolism. Architect Rem Koolhaas– author of Delirious New York – and curatorHans Ulrich Obrist – known for his exhibitions and his “endless conversation” with hundreds of artists and thinkers, racking up 2,000 hours of interviews since 1990 – will discuss their new book Project Japan, part oral history and part documentation of Japan’s radical mode of nation building. In trialogue with Paul Holdengraber, Koolhaas and Obrist will explore the many lessons of Metabolism – the first non-western avant-garde movement – for today: how an activist state mobilized its best talents and meticulously planned the future of its cities, how the media adopted the architect as a serious agent of social change (rather than the hyped “starchitect”), how various disciplines – architecture, art, sociology, technology – collaborated to produce something new.

Conference also to examine solutions to overcrowding on reserves Searching for evidence of Edmonton's aboriginal history took Zoe Todd to out-of-the way spots - the north LRT tracks, industrial sites, the rarely used downtown Beaver Hills Park. Edmonton has the second largest urban aboriginal population in Canada, but the impact of that culture and history is almost invisible in the shapes of the buildings and art of the street.

4th ADVANCED ARCHITECTURE CONTEST “CITY-SENSE: Shaping our environment with real-time data”

Front Members’ Room
14.01.2012 - 11.02.2012
Private View Friday 13 January HORTUS (Hydro Organisms Responsive To Urban Stimuli) is a new exhibition from ecoLogicStudio that engages with the notions of urban renewable energy and agriculture through a new gardening prototype. Over a four-week growing period, flows of energy (light radiation), matter (biomass, carbon dioxide) and information (images, tweets, stats) will be triggered to induce multiple mechanisms of self-regulation and evolve novel forms of self-organisation. HORTUS proposes an experimental hands-on engagement with these notions, illustrating their potential applicability to the masterplanning of large regional landscapes and the retrofitting of industrial and rural architectural types, as exemplified in the project ‘Regional Algae Farm’ developed by ecoLogicStudio for the Swedish region of Osterlen.
AA students, staff and visitors are invited to engage daily with HORTUS to invent new protocols of urban biogardening. A virtual organism such as this offers the opportunity to capture and build up information and cultivation practices, enriching the material experience of the visitor turned urban ‘cyber-gardener’.

Wang Shu, né en 1963 à Hangzhou en Chine du Sud, a fondé en 1997 dans sa ville son agence "Amateur Architecture Studio", avec sa femme Lu Wenyu. Un tel titre n’est pas neutre : Wang Shu appartient à l’escouade de jeunes architectes chinois qui s’émancipent de ces énormes agences publiques d’architecture héritées de l’époque communiste et qui monopolisent toujours la production. Mais les temps changent. De jeunes architectes, souvent formés aux États-Unis, s’inscrivent en contre et créent des agences "à l’occidentale" pour affirmer une nouvelle pratique, inventive et critique, de l’architecte. Ouverts aux échanges, ils animent en Chine un débat indépendant, stimulant, et forment une génération “dont on peut tout attendre”, selon la belle expression de Frédéric Edelmann [critique d'architecture au quotidien "Le Monde", ndlr].
