Lecture by Dimitris Charitos, Geolocated representations affording hybrid spatial experiences

30/03/2013

29/03/2013

26/03/2013

In the frame of the events organized by the Laboratory E.C.A.D. (Thalis program) and with the support of the Department of Architecture, we are welcoming the NoTours workshop proposed by the spanish collective of artists and sound engineers escoitar.org.

The aim of the workshop is to create a sound walk in the public spaces of Volos. Participants will create a soundwalk through the web site platform NoTours.org and will experiment it in real public spaces where it has been created for. It is described as an augmented aurality experience; the sound walk is experimented trough headphones connected to an Android smartphone while users walks in the publics spaces and try to figure out the sounds that the composer has left for them.

The workshop is opened for 20 participants and six smartphones will be provided to experiment the soundwalks (although a laptop is required).

It will start on Tuesday, 26th of March and end on Saturday 30th of March. Participants will need 3-4 work hours per day.

More details on the final program will posted later on.

Applicants should email Nicolas REMY nremy@uth.gr or nicola.remy@gmail.com

PhD Thesis Defense

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”.

Workshop: some SPATIAL QUESTIONS, TANGLE POCKETS

16/12/2012

Friday 26 April 2013– Thursday2 May 2013, 27/4-1/5 2013.

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.

TEAM

The workshop is open to unter-graduate students in the final years of their studies, to post graduate students and young architects (who have graduated in the last five years). Participants, 20 in total, will be selected on their CV/portfolio presentation (two (2) A4 pages in PDF format).
Send material and questions to stilidis1@otenet.gr.
