PhD Thesis Defense “Child, City, Play: A Polyphonic Biography”
Doctoral candidate: Garyfallia Katsavounidou
Advisor: Prof. Zissis Kotionis
Department of Architecture Auditorium Tuesday, 18 December 2012, 8:00 pm
 
The starting point for this thesis is the issue of the child – city relationship, which is examined as reciprocal: how children “view” urban public space, on one hand, and how architecture in the urban scale has historically responded to the needs of children growing up in the modern city. By introducing the third concept of play into this relationship, the study uses the ontological definition of play in order to reposition the previous questions on a new methodological basis, that of polyphony. For this reason, the thesis establishes a new, triple “research subject”, one that expresses the wholeness of “child, city, play”, and which it calls Spielraum. In view of the current problematic relationship between the terms “child” and “city”, the biography of Spielraum aims at projecting the integration of play and creativity in handling this relationship, through both theoretical and practical examples.  At the same time, it aims to, albeit diagrammatically, de/pre-scribe an “other” world, the possibility of which is more distant today, in our assumingly “child-centered” era, than probably ever before: a world in which the spirit of play, of freedom, of creativity, exiled from the functionalistic production of the city, will acquire its own space; where the city will be designed for children, because “if cities are not meant for children, they are not cities”, to use the words of Aldo van Eyck; and where Architecture will be serving Man, so humiliatingly called “user”, and will be collaborating with pedagogy to make new values and new principles come to light, following Henri Lefebvre’s saying, that “there can be no different society without a different space”.

Institute for Environmental Education,E.N.A.O.L.I., GROSSETO, Tuscany, Italy.

Organization for the Environment LEGAMBIENTE.

TASK: some SPATIAL QUESTIONS, TANGLE POCKETS.

The last seven years there have been 9 regional, international and multinational documentation and design workshops. These workshops, as the one scheduled to be active in Tuscany-Italy, were based on the experimental verification by empirical means, of the validity of sympiosis in eutopia’s constitutional space and time terms (living and acting together into a communal pocket). The workshops are always triggered by an invitation held to the director and the team by a community or an organization (in this case the Italian Environmental Organization LEGAMBIENTE). The group, already into a new un-explored place and a unique landscape, will dedicate each and every activity (lectures, field reconnaissance, designs, texts, common long discussions) or means to effectively deal with a given spatial question. Thus, every member is becoming the vital unit of a team working process aiming to reach a result, combining the personal ability with the communal or general meditative need, interpreting and correlating with locus, landscape, cultural syntax and stereotypes ...an attempt to gain any and all empirical data of eutopia (...a term been given by Lewis Mamford in his epic book : The history of Utopias).

See the poster.

Lecture by Vassilis Papavassiliou (Director-Actor), 13/12/12, 21:00, Department of Architecture.

 
 

The presentation examines the development of the urban space in the Soviet Union at the beginning of the 20th century via its cinematic reconstructions. The various integral elements of the city are studied closely with reference to examples from literature, photography, painture and cinema in particular. These examples illustrate how the city transforms over time, with a special focus on the interwar period. The presentation focuses on Dziga Vertov's "Man with the Movie Camera" (USSR, 1929) and presents in detail the results of the shot-by-shot formalist and statistical analysis.
