The workshop is part of the course “Audiovisual Representations and Image Processing Techniques”, Tuesday, 11:00-14:00, Hall E, 1st Floor
Exploring the relationship of music and noise through the role of human plurality as it was understood by experimental music. We discuss, listen and create music – we experiment, based on “The idea of one and the same activity being done simultaneously by a number of people, so that everyone does it slightly differently, unity becoming multiplicity” (Michael Parsons, in Nyman, 1999, p. 6).

“Volos in the Extremes” is an international Urban Design Master Class open to students towards the end of their studies, recent graduates, and professionals, in architecture, urban design, and related design/project-oriented fields concerned with the study of the city and urban intervention. The master class is organised through the collaboration of an international team of professionals and academics. It is hosted by the Department of Architecture, University of Thessaly, in Volos. The point of departure for this master class is the challenges faced by the city in response to the global economic crisis. As the predominant model of development, in Greece and around the world, is severely challenged, we are presented with a unique opportunity to re-invent it: to shift from growth to sustainability, from market-dependency to self-sufficiency, from individually-motivated consumption to publicly-useful production, a whole new paradigm is longing to emerge. How will the city respond to it? And how can urban design and programming contribute to this very emergence?
Through a 6-day programme of group work, site visits, lectures, and social events, the master class, organised into units, will produce a set of urban design proposals for different areas of Volos. Units focus on different geographies of the city, ranging both in scale and location, from building typology to the structure of the urban grid, and from the city’s water edge to its peripheral ‘strip’ extensions. Seen in its entirety, this set of final projects will constitute an extensive and thorough urban intervention proposal for the whole city.
The 10th International Conference on Semiotics οf the Greek Semiotic Society along with the University of Thessaly (School of Humanities and Department of Architectural Engineering) will be held in Volos (Greece), on the 4th, 5th and 6th of October, 2013.
The conference welcomes papers from a broad interdisciplinary and theoretical spectrum, such as different semiotic paradigms, post-structural and postmodern approaches, social semiotics, theories of culture and communication.
The deadline for abstract submission is 15th of May 2013.
