Tras la Arquitectura: El hombre de al lado en Tramallol Coop

IMGP0009

Ayer fuimos invitados en el ciclo “Tras la Arquitectura” que organiza el arquitecto Dario Mateo en la Nave Tramallol a ver la película El Hombre de al lado (2009) de Mariano Cohn y Gastón Duprat. En este espacio se reúnen en forma de trabajo en cooworking un grupo de profesionales, artesanos, diseñadores y creativos en Sevilla. Entre ellos hay arquitectos, diseñadores, cocineros, encuadernadores y un largo etc.

Mi debilidad por la películas Argentinas me viene de mis tiempos en el año 97 en Buenos Aires y siempre pensé que el cine que allí se fragua es enormemente creativo y si se quiere con un ratio calidad-presupuesto inmejorable.

El hombre de al lado narra un conflicto entre vecinos que parece no tener fin. Una simple pared medianera puede dividir dos mundos, dos maneras de vestir, de comer, de vivir. De un lado Leonardo (Rafael Spregelburd), fino y prestigioso diseñador que vive en una casa realizada por Le Corbusier. Del otro lado Víctor (Daniel Aráoz), vendedor de coches usados, vulgar, rústico y avasallador. Víctor decide hacer una ventana para tener más luz, y ahí empieza el problema: cada uno toma conciencia de la existencia del otro.

Esta sencilla premisa, cuyo significado es más que evidente, da pie a un interesante estudio de las diferencias entre dos personalidades muy marcadas y de cómo una insignificancia puede trastocar la vida de algunas personas, acostumbradas a tenerlo todo, hasta el punto de no permitirles continuar con normalidad con su existencia. Una crítica contra el autoaislamiento, el elitismo y el inmovilismo se deja ver sin disimulos a través de esta película, tan minimalista como la decoración que su protagonista propugna, que es más una situación que una historia.

Dario nos remitió un texto muy interesante con el objeto de centrar el debate posterior: La casa bella, estética, identidad, poder y distorsión de metas en la vivienda social. Del libro de Victor Saul Pelli.

En “La casa bella” se exhiben las relaciones entre estética, identidad y poder en torno a la vivienda de interés social. Se afirma el derecho del habitante a ser partícipe directo de la definición de su vivienda, incluyendo la definición estética. Se plantea superar el rol del arquitecto diseñador de firma o para la fotografía de la obra, por uno en que la relación personalizada y horizontal con el habitante enriquezcan el resultado final del trabajo, avanzando en la construcción de equidad en las decisiones sobre calidad de la vivienda, incluyendo en este caso, las expresiones estéticas.

Del libro:

9789875840775

Este libro es un conjunto de trabajos desarrollados desde los años 90, sobre ideas que son clave para encarar el problema habitacional de los sectores en situación de pobreza estructural, con las características con que se presenta en Argentina desde aproximadamente mediados del siglo XX.
¿Hasta qué punto la noción convencional de vivienda es adecuada para internarse en el problema? Está muy lejos de ser un juego intelectual, más bien se trata de intentar ver las ideas clave con rasgos más auténticos y fiables. Complementariamente, una convicción bien arraigada fue llevando a incorporar los criterios que conceden espacios jerarquizados a los habitantes, en todos los pasos de la gestión de solución de sus necesidades; en este caso las habitacionales.   
Esta obra, lejos de plantearse como una aproximación imparcial, es una exploración desde una toma de posición sobre el papel que juega la producción del hábitat en la construcción o en la reconstrucción de la relación entre los que carecen de vivienda adecuada y la sociedad en su conjunto. Desde esta posición, el abordaje del problema habitacional se desplaza desde la idea convencional de "provisión de casas", e incluso desde la más amplia de "provisión de vivienda", hacia la idea de generación de acciones y de obras que conduzcan a una inserción armónica, incluyente y equitativa de la gente en la ciudad y en el conjunto social. Este libro intenta ser un aporte en esa dirección.

Tramallol engloba a gente que tiene todo en común, menos su trabajo. Encuadernación artesanal, cocina, literatura, diseño, costura, arquitectura, elaboración de pasta, flamenco, editorial, traducción, catering, programación... todo unido en un solo espacio y un mismo proyecto. Es una cooperativa de iniciativas profesionales interconectadas en un espacio de 528 metros cuadrados. Es un lugar para actividades híbridas, para fomentar las tareas de cada cual desde el apoyo mutuo levantando un lugar a la medida de nuestras necesidades y a la altura de nuestros deseos. Todo tiene cabida: un concierto de campanas de sol a sol, una reunión de la red de decrecimiento, el diseño de un puerto, cursos de cocina, tres días de música loca-l, clases de libros cosidos a la española, una cena secreta, un concurso de arquitectura, la filosofía del quinto pino

ACFX Conference 2012 International Summit – Architecture Corporate Foresight Conference

image

Ulm | Ischgl.

On 2nd February 2012 the first ever Architecture Corporate Foresight conference (short:  ACFX), is scheduled to take place, with high-profile contributors, in the mountains above Ischgl.  Members of the elite fields of architecture, communication and design are set to meet at this  Architecture Corporate Foresight conference, the idea for which originated with Andreas Pfetsch,  managing director of ap35 GmbH. Trends and developments, and the impact of the digital world and  the world of media will be discussed. This conference will provide a platform for the interdisciplinary  exchange of technology and ideas, and can hence be classed as unique. Renowned speakers have  been contacted, many of whom have already confirmed their participation. These include: Bjarke  Ingels, founder of the BIG Group; Lidweij Edelkoort, world-famous trend researcher, Assaf Biderman,  Associated Director of the SENSEable City Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology;  Jürgen Mayer H., Jürgen Mayer H. architects; Dr. Alexander Rieck from the Fraunhofer Institute IAO;  Steve Rogers, Director UX EMEA and Emerging Markets / Google; and Sebastian Raßmann from  Trendone.

ACFX - the name embraces themes which offer a glimpse into the future. Lectures and discussions on megacities and their development, on trend research with regard to communication, on design,  working environments and buildings, the creativity of innovative start-ups and on future lifestyles with  regard to travel, work and the home will give insights into the paradigm shift in the field of architecture - one which is imminent and unavoidable in the light of innovative networking technology. The ACFX  conference is organised by ap35 GmbH, an architecture management and relationship marketing  agency based in Ulm / Germany.

In a galaxy far, far, away……NO! The future is NOW!
Our world is fast-paced. Much - including architecture - is changing with breath-taking speed, and  rarely do we anticipate in which direction trends and developments will turn. This first ACFX  conference offers an opportunity to profit from the knowledge and work of experts and eminent  authorities, to talk with them and look to the future together. A wide range of subjects will be covered by this conference: from megacities and trend research to start-up ideas and future home, life and  work trends. Furthermore, the conference aims to show how the internet and the digital world can be  put to optimal use and integrated into strategies. To date, these channels have rarely been made use  of in architecture, even though they open up a whole realm of possibilities.

MEGACITIES | URBAN ENVIRONMENT
How do cities develop in relation to exploding populations? What will happen in the future to the city centres of today? Will they remain in place - or will they have to go? What will the infrastructure look  like? Lectures by Assaf Biderman on the subject of the development and spread of megacities, by Dr.  Wolfgang Keßling, who explores the climatic aspects, techniques and geographical environments of  contemporary building, and by Jürgen Mayer H., winner of the Audi Urban Future Awards, will offer  answers to these questions.

TREND RESEARCH
What will the architectural trends of the future look like? Which materials will be implemented? Will I  be able to operate my computer telepathically - or maybe even use apps to market my products more successfully? Such questions will be answered by Lidewij Edelkoort (among others), a world renown trend researcher. Li Edelkoort produces trend books which - boasting forecasts for two years – are  used as design tools by strategists, designers and those responsible for marketing international brands. In addition, Sebastian Raßmann from Trendone will be showing how brands can be  communicated to consumers at lightning speed using various channels. Robert Miles Kemp, president of Variate Labs, will present examples of his interactive architecture and show just how  futuristic his daily routine already is.

START UPS
Networks are the key to success. Frederike Vos demonstrates just this with ‘The Hub’, an office  concept which she co-developed and which is already to be found on every continent in a total of 28  cities: the world as a workplace. And then there’s Florian Gschwandtner, who will be presenting his  fitness platform ‘runtastic’ and the potential of an app: how to motivate his platform users to actively  shape and improve his own product. Gschwandtner tells us how it’s done.

FUTURE WORKING & LIVING
The final block will be headed by experts who grapple with the homes, life and work of the future.
These include Bjarke Ingels, who gets to grips with the evolution of architecture with methods,  processes and tools, and Dr. Alexander Rieck from the Fraunhofer Institute, who has not only  developed the hotel room of the future, but who also regards the working world of the 21st century as  a hot topic. Plus Steve Rogers, Director UX EMEA and Emerging Markets / Google, who’ll be lecturing  on the orientation of the internet and all the potential this boasts.

The conference invites participants to discover more about architectural trends and urban  developments, and about new ideas and the potential of the digital world.

STCenters Concursos de Arquitectura

RIO_S01

Desde ArchMedium nos remiten la siguiente convocatoria de concurso de arquitectura para su difusión.

ArchMedium es un proyecto dedicado a la organización de concursos para estudiantes que cuenta con la colaboración de la Universidad Politécnica de Catalunya y la Escola técnica superior d’ arquitectura de Barcelona ETSAB.

INTRODUCCIÓN
La contaminación es un problema que afecta a todos los países del mundo, pero sobre todo a las grandes metrópolis a raíz de la gran concentración de vehículos de combustión en áreas relativamente reducidas. Brasil es sin lugar a dudas uno de los principales países emergentes de principios del s.XXI, y cuenta con un ambicioso plan de desarrollo que le permitirá seguir creciendo de forma sostenible y ecológica.
La transformación de Río ya ha comenzado y la ciudad se prepara para recibir millones de personas a raíz de los eventos deportivos más grandes del mundo, el mundial de futbol de 2014 y los juegos olímpicos de Río 2016.

EMPLAZAMIENTO
El solar elegido para el desarrollo de este proyecto se ubica en un punto privilegiado de Ipanema, uno de los barrios más representativos y vanguardistas de Río de Janeiro. Famoso por sus playas y su paseo marítimo, es uno de los barrios más adelantados de Río y con la clara voluntad de apostar por el desarrollo sostenible. En este contexto, la inserción de los vehículos eléctricos y la creación de la nueva red de recarga cuenta con mayores posibilidades de aceptación y éxito de las que tendría en cualquier otro barrio de la ciudad.
El stcRIO se ubica en una posición estratégica en Ipanema, entre la playa y la plaza Gral Osorio. La plaza es el punto de llegada a Ipanema desde el centro (L1) y el inicio de la linea de metro que llegará a la zona olímpica de Barra de Tijuca (L4). El stcRIO actúa como punto de quiebre entre el centro y la nueva parte sur de la ciudad: RÍO2016.

PROPUESTA
stcRIO propone una fuerte apuesta de la ciudad con la introducción de vehículos eléctricos, convirtiéndolos en el medio de transporte estándar para sus habitantes y educándolos indirectamente en materia de sostenibilidad.
La apuesta irá encabezada por la creación de la infraestructura necesaria para extender una red de puntos de recarga para vehículos eléctricos (o electrolineras)por su área metropolitana. El stcRIO será un centro de operaciones para esta nueva infraestructura desde donde se controlará el estado y funcionamiento de toda la red.
El objetivo global de esta nueva apuesta no es sólo el de renovar y actualizar el parque automotor, sino algo mucho más ambicioso como es lograr la integración total de la red de recarga con las demás redes de transporte público de la ciudad, creando una red de transporte eficiente y dinámica que permita a los usuaríos desplazarse de un barrío a otro de la ciudad de forma rápida, segura y eficaz, haciendo uso de los distintos medios a su disposición.

La convocatoria es pública y está abierta a todos los estudiantes de grado y postgrado, así como a jóvenes profesionales con 5 años de experiencia o menos, tanto de Arquitectura como de ramas relacionadas; Ingeniería, Urbanismo, Diseño, etc. que puedan acreditar mediante algún documento oficial (matricula, carnet de estudiante, título etc.) que el día en que da comienzo el concurso cumplen con las condiciones previamente mencionadas.

Jurado:

El jurado contará con la presencia de los siguientes miembros:

  • Presidente del jurado Sergi Balaguer (Alonso-Balaguer asociados)
  • Arquitecto y Urbanista: Adolf Sotoca
  • Arquitecta local: Verena Andreatta
  • Especialista movilidad: Manel Herce


Premios:

  • 1800 Euros en Efectivo
  • Publicación en la revistas WA y Vitruvius
  • Exposición en IaaC (Institut d’arquitectura avanzada de Catalunya)

Calendario:

19 febrero 2012

Finaliza el periodo de inscripción

29 febrero 2012

WAF Awards Day Two Category Winners Announced at World Architecture Festival Awards 2011

Four completed buildings and nine future projects, celebrating designs still on the drawing board, from around the world have today been announced as winners on the second day of the World Architectural Festival (WAF) Awards 2011.

The presentation of the WAF Awards is taking place during the largest global celebration of architecture - the World Architecture Festival, which is being held in Barcelona (CCIB) this week.

Speaking at the WAF Awards 2011 Paul Finch, WAF Programme Director, said: “The World Architecture Festival is the world's largest, live, truly inclusive and interactive global architectural awards programme. Attracting entries from internationally renowned practices to small local architects, the stellar quality of this year’s designs demonstrates their commitment to designing the world’s most exciting buildings. This year we’ve attracted more entries than ever before, with more than 700 submissions from 66 different countries. Our congratulations go to the winners for truly accomplished projects.”

All the WAF Award category winners will go head to head on Friday 4th November as they present their projects and compete for the highest accolades in global architecture, which will be decided by a 'super-jury'¹ of some of the world's most influential architectural and urban designers, led by the distinguished Michael Sorkin. They will cast their votes to decide the World Building of the Year 2011, Structural Project of the Year 2011 and Future Project of the Year 2011.

The WAF Awards day two winners are as follows:

World Shopping Building of the Year

Decameron, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Studio MK27, Brazil

The showroom of the Decameron furniture store is located on a rented site in the furniture commercial alley in São Paulo. To make the quick and economic construction viable, the architect, worked with the premise of a light occupation combined with industrial elements, which could easily be assembled.

World Display Building of the Year

Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion,Hjerkinn, Norway, Snøhetta, Norway

The Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion is located at Hjerkinn on the outskirts of Dovrefjell National Park, which rises 1200 metres above sea level and is home to Europe’s last wild reindeer herds and is the natural habitat for many rare plants and animals. The 90m² building, which features a rigid outer shell and an organic inner core is open to the public and serves as an observation pavilion for the Wild Reindeer Foundation educational programmes.

World Health Building of the Year

Rehabilitation Centre Groot Klimmendaal,Arnhem, Netherlands, Architectenbureau Koen van Velsen, Netherlands

In the undulating forest landscape around Arnhem in the eastern part of the Netherlands, revalidation centre ‘Groot Klimmendaal’ can be found standing as a quiet deer in between trees. From a small footprint, the building gradually fans out towards the top and cantilevers out over the surrounding terrain. The care concept is based on the idea that a positive and stimulating environment increases the well-being of patients and has a beneficial effect on their revalidation process. The design ambition was not to create a centre with the appearance of a health building but a building as a part of its surroundings and the community.

World Housing Building of the Year

8 House,Copenhagen, Denmark, Bjarke Ingels Group, Denmark

With spectacular views towards the Copenhagen Canal and over Kalvebod Fælled’s protected open spaces, 8 House will not only be offering residences to people in all of life’s stages as well as office spaces to the city’s business and trade - it will also serve as a house that allows people to cycle all the way from the ground floor to the top, moving alongside townhouses with gardens winding through an urban perimeter block.

Future Project of the Year – Commercial

Wadi Rum Resort, Jordan, Oppenheim Architecture + Design, USA

A unique luxury accommodation where desert sand meets desert stone, engaging with the landscape with nominal impact and primal elegance. The boundaries between man-made and nature, interior and exterior are deliberately blurred to establish maximum impact.

Oppenheim Architecture & Design_Wadi Rum Resort_Jordan

Future Project of the Year - Competition Entries

Glacier Discovery Walk, Alberta, Canada, Sturgess Architecture, Canada.

The Glacier Discovery Walk is envisioned as an extension of the fractal landscape that defines the Columbia Icefields in Canada’s Jasper National Park. Located along the edge of this dramatic escarpment, the project weaves a continuous thread of experience through united geometric and material forms. This sinuous experience defines the Discovery Walk not only as a singular destination, but as a catalyst and gateway that empowers guests to immerse themselves in the untouched natural environment.

Future Project of the Year – Experimental

The Tower of Nests, Shanghai, China, Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture AB

Located in down town Shanghai, it is designed to be co-inhabited by humans and animals.  Its outer skin is composed of natural materials to allow birds and bees to inhabit, yet providing a community space.

Future Project of the Year – Infrastructure

Hanimaadaoo International Airport, Maldives, Integrated Design Associates Limited, Hong Kong

The new airport, designated as the country’s second international gateway, is located on an island with very limited land mass for an international airport of this size. With airfield infrastructure consuming nearly all the available land our concept of a “floating terminal” has been selected by the Government for its innovative, exciting and eco-friendly approach. The proposed terminal is built entirely on stilts over water without reclamation to preserve the existing environment and the natural coastline. With blue sea, white sandy beach as backdrop the new airport aims to provide passengers with a unique and memorable travel experience.

World Display Building of the Year

Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion,Hjerkinn, Norway, Snøhetta, Norway

The Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion is located at Hjerkinn on the outskirts of Dovrefjell National Park, which rises 1200 metres above sea level and is home to Europe’s last wild reindeer herds and is the natural habitat for many rare plants and animals. The 90m² building, which features a rigid outer shell and an organic inner core is open to the public and serves as an observation pavilion for the Wild Reindeer Foundation educational programmes.

The Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre Pavilion is located at Hjerkinn on the outskirts of Dovrefjell National Park, overlooking the Snøhetta mountain massif.
The 90m2 building is open to the public and serves as an observation pavilion for the Wild Reindeer Foundation educational programmes. A 1,5km nature path brings visitors to this spectacular site, 1200 meters above sea level.
Dovrefjell is a mountain range that forms a barrier between the norther and southern parts of Norway. It is home to Europe’s last wild reindeer herds and is the natural habitat for many rare plants and animals. Among the unique wildlife at Dovrefjell, the Musk Oxen herds are probably the main attractions for visitors. A long history filled with travellers, hunting traditions, mining, and military activities has left its mark on this land. In addition to the natural and cultural landscape, the Dovre mountain range also holds significant importance in the Norwegian consciousness. National legends, myths, poetry (Ibsen), music (Grieg), and pilgrimages celebrate the mystic and eternal qualities of this powerful place. The founding fathers of the Norwegian constitution are ”agreed and faithful, until the fall of Dovre!”
This unique natural, cultural and mythical landscape has formed the basis of the architectural idea. The building design is based on a rigid outer shell and an organic inner core. Reminiscent of rock or ice eroded by wind and running water, the south facing exterior wall and the interior create a protected and warm gathering place, while still preserving the visitor’s view of the spectacular natural panorama.
Considerable emphasis is put on the quality and durability of the materials to withstand the harsh climate. The rectangular frame is made in raw steel resembling the iron ore found in the local bedrock. Over time the rusted colour blends with the natural colours in the sourrounding mountains.
The simple form and use of natural materials reference local building traditions.
However, advanced technologies have been utilized both in the design and the fabrication process. Using 3D computer models to drive the milling machines, Norwegian shipbuilders in Hardangerfjord have created the organic forms from 10 inch square pine beams. The wood was then assembled in a traditional way using only wood pegs as fasteners. The exterior wall was then treated with pine tar while the interior wood has been oiled.
The pavilion is a robust yet nuanced building that gives visitors an opportunity to reflect and contemplate this vast and rich landscape.

WAF Awards Day Two Category Winners Announced at World Architecture Festival Awards 2011

image003

Four completed buildings and nine future projects, celebrating designs still on the drawing board, from around the world have today been announced as winners on the second day of the World Architectural Festival (WAF) Awards 2011.

The presentation of the WAF Awards is taking place during the largest global celebration of architecture - the World Architecture Festival, which is being held in Barcelona (CCIB) this week.

Speaking at the WAF Awards 2011 Paul Finch, WAF Programme Director, said: “The World Architecture Festival is the world's largest, live, truly inclusive and interactive global architectural awards programme. Attracting entries from internationally renowned practices to small local architects, the stellar quality of this year’s designs demonstrates their commitment to designing the world’s most exciting buildings. This year we’ve attracted more entries than ever before, with more than 700 submissions from 66 different countries. Our congratulations go to the winners for truly accomplished projects.”

All the WAF Award category winners will go head to head on Friday 4th November as they present their projects and compete for the highest accolades in global architecture, which will be decided by a 'super-jury'¹ of some of the world's most influential architectural and urban designers, led by the distinguished Michael Sorkin. They will cast their votes to decide the World Building of the Year 2011, Structural Project of the Year 2011 and Future Project of the Year 2011.

The WAF Awards day two winners are as follows:

World Shopping Building of the Year

Decameron, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Studio MK27, Brazil

02_fachada%20frontal%20fechada

The showroom of the Decameron furniture store is located on a rented site in the furniture commercial alley in São Paulo. To make the quick and economic construction viable, the architect, worked with the premise of a light occupation combined with industrial elements, which could easily be assembled.

The space was constructed through a mixed solution, with maritime transport containers and a specifically designed structure. Despite the spatial limitation imposed by the pre-determined dimension of the containers, the piece has impressive structural attributes that makes piling them possible. Two stories of containers form tunnels where products are displayed side by side.
The ample span, necessary to show furniture in relation with each other, is constructed by a metallic structure. This space is closed, in front and in back, by double-height metal casements with alveolar polycarbonate. At the back of the lot, there is a patio filled with trees and a pebbled-ground. When both doors are simultaneously opened, the whole store becomes integrated with its urban context. At rush stressful hours, by opening only the back doors, the store becomes self-absorbed, ruled by the presence of the inner-garden.

On the back of the site is the office, closed by a glass wall that enables the designers to take part on the sales life. Two edges of the design process in contact through the inner patio as other opposing strengths also meet at this small project: The intensity of the urban life and a small nature retreat, the power of the containers and the lightness of the metallic structure and finally, the linearity of the tunnels and the cubic volume.
