Architects of the future use Carnival festivities to end outdated ideas

Hello Wood asks entrants to its intentional summer school to consider the topics that contemporary architecture should be answering.

The annual festivities of Carnival, see communities coming together to celebrate the end of a period of time and the beginning of a new era. Proposals should have this in mind since the summer school will say farewell to its past ten years with its own festival, culminating in a parade with the installations as the stars. Performative creations are a much greater focus for the Hello Wood summer school this year than ever before, meaning portable architecture will be an integral aspect of the successful proposals. This parade will even see past workshop leaders and participants returning to take part in the procession, which will lead down into the nearby village joining a local cultural festival with thousands of attendants of the general public.

Seminar: Architectural Design with PPCI Requirements and Constraints.
This seminar is based on questions submitted by AsBEA-RS members, which were previously forwarded to the Fire Department.
We will also address the issues of civil liability and safe, sustainable construction.
We appreciate the opportunity.

The course—organized into three monthly modules (April, May, and June), each consisting of four classes—will examine central issues in modern art history through the works of: Paul Cézanne, Aleksander Rodchenko, Hannes Meyer, and Le Corbusier (Module 1, April); Federico Fellini, Giuseppe Terragni, Arnold Schoenberg, and Rem Koolhaas (Module 2, May); Kazimir Malevich, Marguerite Duras, Louise Bourgeois, and Toyo Ito (Module 3, June). Modules may be taken individually or sequentially.

Architecture has always been a tool for power: political institutions, economic symbols, and religious monuments. Asymmetric and dominant relationships still persist in the profession's modes of production, whether on the construction site or in the design process. What would it look like to use architecture as an instrument for decentralizing power and fighting for the right to the city through community initiatives? In general, the management model for cities, public spaces, and facilities does not allow for shared, participatory management by the population. What, then, does it mean to conceive of an architectural practice that fosters autonomy?

The Popayán University Foundation, through its Faculty of Architecture and in strategic partnership with the Banco de la República, continues to develop top-tier academic initiatives. These efforts deserve to be shared with the broader academic community and the general public, which is why we are hosting the third edition of the Colombian Colloquium on Architecture and the City: "200 Years of a Nation in the World. History, Present, and Future of Architecture in Colombia," to be held on April 4–5 at the Casa de la Moneda Convention Center in Popayán.

Ideasforward is an experimental platform that seeks progressive ideas reflecting emerging themes. Ecological design, sustainable architecture, new materials, concepts, and technologies are urgent issues for the societies of the future, and the participation of the entire community is essential. In an era of globalization, where communication has been dominated by the technological revolution, there is a need to rethink cities and how people relate to one another in a global world, as well as to rethink the economic, social, and cultural patterns of contemporary societies.

Berlin is the 21st century contemporary world’s ideal capital. The city left its torrid history behind to quickly grow and cement itself into the intellectual and cultural core of the world. Berlin is the epicenter of any new movement that starts to demolish the old-world order. Ever since the wall came down in 1989, Berlin has been known as a bohemian paradise, a place where the empty spaces between east and west could be pioneered and inhabited by the most creative types, who could create and carouse with impunity. Numerous artists from across the globe have taken full advantage of Berlin’s transition period throughout the 1990s and 2000s to find gallery and performance spaces in the most unexpected places. The underground art scene is very modern, very edgy and relatively unlimited in the city of Berlin.

MANIFESTO

Amsterdam has been one of Europe's pioneers of architecture and design, largely because of the 17th century rings of canal houses, gabled facades, windmills and drawbridges. Modern architecture developed organically in Amsterdam between the facades of historical buildings, making it one of the finest blends between Renaissance, Berlage and the Amsterdam School. The city has a very strong cultural and artistic identity. Amsterdam is the most important cultural and artistic center to the north from Paris and between London and Cologne.
