Blended Intensive Program (BIP)
Bauhaus Dessau Archiscape
Dessau 25 May -31 May 2024
Dept. of Architecture University of Thessaly, Αnhalt University of Applied Sciences (Dessau), Εcole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Nantes (Nantes) and the University Luigi Vanvitelli (Napoli) co-organize a Blended Intensive Program (BIP) within the Erasmus + Framework. The program will take place physically in Dessau from 25 May to 31 May 2024 and virtually before and after these dates.
The program will connect with the concept of Organic Architecture & Design in order to develop new perspectives of interdisciplinary conceptual learning.
Through crisis, experience and scientific exploration we have learned that we need to maintain an organic relationship with nature if we want to cultivate a sustainable and humane society, a liveable environment and healthy cities. The BIP will offer a platform for design collaboration and discourse to a group of 35 students who will be working in 5 international teams on new perspectives for organic architecture.
7-10 students of the Dept. of Architecture UTH can participate at the BIP. This is the full program of the BIP.
For those interested in the program there will be a meeting at the Department’s open amphitheater Tuesday 26/3/2024, at 14.00 with prof. V. Trova and ass. Prof. F. Micocci

Along with Nikos Arvanitis’ work A Thousand Sounds from Mount Ida
The first, last and everlasting Psiloritis Biennale is an ideal artistic event with real works, known though through improvised catalogues, since no one can attend an exhibition on the inaccessible mountain top, even if there would be an invitation. Like a concert that nobody attended, but became known through recordings, the works that are placed or materialized on the trails and on the mountaintop are being recorded for the purpose of being presented by a publication that, at least in the beginning, circulates from hand to hand.
The most recent project implemented in the context of the Biennale is Nikos Arvanitis'A Thousand Sounds from Mount Ida, and it involves a cassette that, with its two sides and its case, constitutes a threefold treatment of the natural landscape and its technical mediation. The choice of the cassette as a recording medium is made with the aim of referring back to technologies of itinerant recording and listening, while inevitably referring to practices of music sharing/distribution through open, amateur and pirate models of music and artistic content distribution.
Through the hybrid fanzine Farasi, the First, last and everlasting Biennale of Psiloritis distributes a work freely for reproduction and listening. You download both sides of the cassette from the corresponding QR codes and copy them onto a sixty-minute cassette (if you can find one). You cut out half the issue and fold it to make the cover. Have a good listening.

Biography
GIORGOS KOROPOULIS was born in Athens in 1960. He studied Dentistry and specialized in not practicing it. Since 1980 he has been working as a proofreader and a copy editor. He published articles (sometimes systematically, sometimes not) in newspapers and magazines. At times, he also worked as a radio producer, and wrote texts for documentaries and movies. He translated (among others) Akhmatova, Cavalcanti, Catullus, Laforgue, Brecht, Pasternak, Rilke, Tsvetayeva. He translates Dante's Divine Comedy –with some difficulties- using the terza rima and the hendecasyllabic verse. His poems have been translated into all languages, but he does not give permission for the translations to be published, while he shamelessly conceals the countless honours he received all over the world.
