UIA 2011 TOKYO

Posted: September 22nd, 2011, 6:45pm PDT by Vanilla Hustler

Tags: [edit]

The XXIV World Congress of Architecture will be held in Tokyo during the autumn months of 2011 – just 12 years since the first congress was hosted by Beijing in 1999. The theme of the XXIV World Congress, “Design 2050,” will provide the opportunity for architects from all over the world to exchange views and share their visions of sustainable architecture, as well as help define the immediate future for the world’s cities and the environment. Tokyo is a fascinating city where the past meets the present and Japanese tradition coexists with contemporary culture. Such diverse contrasts will be evident just outside the main venue for the congress, where the Royal Palace and Akihabara (Japan’s premier showcase for state-of-the-art consumer electronics) are located in the same neighborhood.
Tokyo’s exemplary economic growth during the past several decades has fueled its development as a viably sustainable city. Consequently, Tokyo in itself is a harbinger of what we may expect from sustainable architecture by the year 2050. With this in mind, participants at the XXIV World Congress can expect to be welcomed and embraced by Japan’s rich architectural culture, which showcases they unique, yet contemporary, face of Japan.

Bauhaus 1919–1933: workshops for modernity

Posted: November 8th, 2009, 1:19am PST by Vanilla Hustler

Tags: [edit]

November 8, 2009–January 18, 2010

The Joan and Preston Robert Tisch Exhibition Gallery, sixth floor

This retrospective, presented in collaboration with a consortium of the three Bauhaus collections in Germany (Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin; Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau; and Klassik Stiftung Weimar), is the first comprehensive treatment of the Bauhaus at MoMA since 1938 and the first major show in the United States on the subject in decades. With a wide diversity of objects, including examples of industrial design, furniture, graphics, film, photography, book design, weaving, theater, painting, and sculpture, the exhibition will highlight the school’s revolutionary ideas of artistic education and production, as well as its enduring influence. Several of the key objects in the exhibition have never been shown in the U.S. Representing an innovative pedagogical approach, works by Bauhaus masters such as Walter Gropius, Josef Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy-Nagy, Johannes Itten, and Paul Klee will be joined by little-known student work created in the school’s workshops. Other important themes that will be explored in the exhibition and catalogue are the school’s strategy of self-promotion, its connection with industrial production and commerce and the question of authorship. After the exhibition is presented at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin in summer 2009 for the ninetieth anniversary of the school’s foundation, the show will travel to New York during MoMA’s eightieth anniversary year.

The exhibition is organized by Barry Bergdoll, The Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design; Andres Lepik, Curator, Department of Architecture and Design; and Dara Kiese, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art.

Transform the Future 3

Posted: June 1st, 2009, 7:55am PDT by Vanilla Hustler

Tags: [edit]

A competition for students and designers sponsored by Dalsouple Rubber Flooring in partnership with Sustain Magazine.

The 2008 competition attracted entries from every corner of the international student design community, with the winners coming from Argentina.
For 2009, the competition format will expand to acknowledge the growing importance of sustainability as an element in the design mix.

‘Transform the Future’ encourages designers and students to go out into the community and spread the word that in design, ‘sustainable’ doesn’t mean ‘boring’. By seeking sustainable solutions to design problems, tomorrow’s designers will make a huge contribution to the environmental performance of the built environment. And as Dalsouple’s massive range of gorgeous colours and textures clearly shows, these days ‘green design’ should be anything but dull.

ABOUT TRANSFORM:

Category 1: Interior
Entrants, who may be students or professionals from relevant disciplines, will need to establish a link with a local community group. That could be a school or college, a youth centre, community hall, or other interior communal space that would benefit from a little tlc. Entrants will work with real ‘clients’ in the form of the people who use the space every day. Together they will identify an interior project and develop a realistic design solution, based on the clients’ needs.

The judges will be looking for creative designs that will deliver a realistic and tangible improvement to the chosen space. Particular attention will be given to the use of colour, and to awareness of sustainability in the selection of all the materials used. Of course, the design should incorporate Dalsouple Natural Rubber as a flooring material, because this will form part of the prize. And as the aim is for the winning design to be implemented, the school or community will get the benefit.

Category 2: Product
This new category invites entrants, who may be students or professionals from the product design community to submit concepts for products or actual products that incorporate DalNaturel natural rubber in some way.
The whole item may be made of rubber or just a tiny amount may be used within the design.

As with the Interiors category, the judges will be looking for product ideas that offer a creative, sustainable solution to a design problem.

HOW TO ENTER:

Entry to Transform is free. Entries will close on Monday 1 June 2009.
Dalsouple can offer a free presentation about the competition for participating colleges and design companies at a time to suit you. Sample materials and literature will also be supplied.
Winners will be notified by the end of June 2008. Winning entries will be featured in Sustain magazine and on the Dalsouple website.

International entries are welcome.

If you are interested in entering, email julie@dalsouple.com with your full mailing address so that we can post you a competition pack. This will contain Dalsouple brochures and samples. If you would like a presentation from Dalsouple to launch the competition, email us with your proposed dates.

Conference: Unspoken Borders 2009 - Ecologies of Inequality

Posted: April 3rd, 2009, 1:00am PDT by Hustler #1

Tags: [edit]

This year’s theme “The Ecology of Inequality” is an examination of the systems, infrastructure and design processes that create or perpetuate the socio-economic and environmental stratification of our society. Recent national events—economic and environmental crises, the pending election etc. have forced the design professions to examine the first principle of ecology “that each living organism has an ongoing and continual relationship with every other element that makes up its environment.” An ecosystem can be defined as “any situation where there is interaction between organisms and their environment.” As quoted, Bruce Mau’s work belongs to a growing body of voices that calls for a thorough assessment of how our existing systems lead to disenfranchised communities, a growing schism between the affluent and poor, and damaged ecosystems.

What is the relationship between urbanism and suburbanism? How does the ever-growing water crisis relate to race and culture? What does design relate to exploding health crises, on a global scale?

Conference sessions will evaluate the social conditions, historical precedents and design decisions that have led to today’s conditions. The conference will also discuss contemporary approaches that are confronting the current power structure, or ones that are seeking to establish new, justice-oriented design strategies that replace the ecology of inequality with ecologies of equity.

Open Architecture Challenge 2009

Posted: March 31st, 2009, 7:55am PDT by Vanilla Hustler

Tags: [edit]

Enter the 2009 Open Architecture Challenge.

In the United States alone more than 6 million students spend much of their day in “portable” classrooms. Anyone who has spent time in one of these classrooms knows that we can do better.

In 2003, the Modular Building Institute estimated that more than 220,000 K-12 portable classrooms were in use by public school systems. Because school systems cannot readily access capital funding, temporary and makeshift classrooms have become an unintended fixture of many educational campuses.

In Florida alone, 75 percent of a school’s portables are now counted as permanent classroom space.

The Competition:

Each year Architecture for Humanity’s Open Architecture Challenge design competition brings public attention to inequities in the built environment affecting the health, prosperity and well being of under-served communities. In 2009 the Open Architecture Challenge will focus on the issue of portable classrooms.

The Open Architecture Challenge will tackle the health, environmental and performance concerns associated with today’s portable schools. New classroom design solutions will be implemented across the nation. Students and teachers understand best what makes a learning space work. The 2009 Open Architecture Challenge will invite them to partner with architects in their community to design better, greener classrooms for their schools.

Entrants will be required to develop a design for an existing student body and demonstrate student participation throughout the design process. The competition will be promoted throughout the global design community and timed to coincide with the academic calendar to encourage student involvement. A curriculum package will be developed in tandem with the competition. The curriculum will be distributed by mail and delivered digitally to schools across the country through partnerships with educational organizations. An inter-disciplinary team of architects, educators and others will jury the entries. The winning design will be built with funds raised as a result of the competition.

All of the designs entered into the competition will be displayed in classrooms across the country, and made available for download on the Open Architecture Network. By sharing the designs-including CAD files-freely, we aim to give school systems access to hundreds of sustainable alternatives to portable classrooms and to impact decision-making where it matters most-at the local level.

Goals:

The 2009 Open Architecture Challenge aims to use architecture and design as a vehicle for strengthening communities by:

Offering innovative and viable alternatives to traditional portable classrooms, introducing K-12 students to architecture, spatial planning and 3D modeling, teaching students, faculty and parents about how buildings impact the environment, and advocating for greener, healthier, more conducive learning environments.

Teachers and Students know what makes a classroom work. Lets let them design the classroom of the future.

Competition Schedule:
1. Program Development and Needs Assessment (complete)
2. Identify Project Partners (on-going)
3. Finalize Competition Brief and Companion Curriculum January 15, 2009
4. Competition Launch January 20, 2009

Caring for Older People - International Student Design Competition

Posted: March 6th, 2009, 6:55am PST by Vanilla Hustler

Tags: [edit]

The RIBA are working with DWA Architects to launch the DWA Architects Caring for Older People Design Competition. DWA Architects are one of the leading designers of Care Homes in the UK and are currently celebrating their 20th Anniversary.

DWA Architects are organizing this ideas competition, open to all architectural students, to mark this event. The competition is jointly sponsored by DWA Architects and BUPA Care Homes.

The winning entries will be selected by Professor June Andrews of The Dementia Services Development Centre of Stirling University, Neil Hunt the Chief Executive of the Alzheimers Society, Lyth Watson the Director of Business Development of BUPA Care Homes and David Ward the Chief Executive of DWA Architects.

The theme of the competition is designing for older people in 60 to 70 years time. DWA Architects have been designing care homes for older people for 20 years, but how will they look in the future? Will the care home concept be similar to that of today? Will care homes still be located predominantly in built up areas? Will the facilities provided be the same? How will social, economic and environmental sustainability affect the design? Will the current culture be the same? We have seen design standards for the physically disabled develop and become the norm. Design standards for those who live with other forms of disability, including Dementia are now being formulated. What form will these take and how will these shape the care home of tomorrow? How will furniture and landscape design be affected?

None of us can see into the future, but we can all imagine. We therefore invite you to use your imagination and show us your ideas. Furthermore, you can ignore the tangle of legislation and just base your concept designs on your ideas of what form care for older people should take in an ideal world.

Winning designs will receive awards of £3,000 (1st), £1,500 (2nd); and £1,000 (3rd). All architectural students may enter. Entries should be anonymous and comprise no more than 2 x A1 boards with an accompanying design statement.

Full details will be available on the RIBA Competitions Office website from the launch date of 5 January 2009 with entries to be submitted to the RIBA Competitions Office by 6 March 2009. The judges will assess the entries and the winners will be notified by 16 March 2009. An awards ceremony will be held at the RIBA HQ, London at the end of March 2009 and an exhibition will follow.

The Burnham Plan Centennial

Posted: March 6th, 2009, 8:06pm PST by Vanilla Hustler

Tags: [edit]

Bold Plans. Big Dreams. This is the legacy of the Plan of Chicago. In 1909, Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett collaborated with the Commercial Club of Chicago and others to create a new plan for the greater Chicago region. Today, their Plan still inspires us to be visionary, think regionally, recognize the value of beauty and conservation, and to plan – and implement – systematically.

The year 2009 will be a time to look back 100 years for inspiration, and appreciate the big dreams that led to Chicago’s sweeping lakefront, the “emerald necklace” of County Forest Preserves, and a tradition of thinking comprehensively about the region’s development.

The Centennial also is an opportunity to make and implement bold plans for the 21st Century that build on the 1909 Burnham Plan’s “…steady determination to bring about the very best conditions of city life for all the people…”

Call for Papers- Symposium- Le Corbusier

Posted: February 28th, 2009, 5:31pm PST by Hustler #1

Tags: [edit]

A utopian visionary, Le Corbusier was both innovative and influential in architecture, urbanism, art and theory. Across the world, his revolutionary designs were radical yet practical making him an instrumental figure in the development of Modernism. His buildings are credited with expressing a complex understanding of Modernity’s impact. Many of his ideas on urban living became the blueprint for post-war reconstruction, while the failures of his imitators led to his being blamed for the problems of modern urbanism. Since his death in 1965, Le Corbusier’s contributions have been hotly contested making him without a doubt one of the most admired and most maligned figures of the twentieth century. This symposium will explore the work, writings and legacy of this important and controversial modernist and their relationship to contemporary architecture, art and urbanism.
