BEAM CENTER SEEKS AMBITIOUS, LARGE-SCALE PUBLIC ARTWORK PROPOSALS FOR MULTI-SITE 2022 SEASON: NEW HAMPSHIRE, GOVERNORS ISLAND, AND THE BRONX

How do we resolve the tensions between imported Western imported styles and the notion of what is African? That tension between the courtyard and the balcony, the glass skin and the brise soleil; or the oft-derided eating habits not accommodated in the living room, or the abundantly ubiquitous zinc roofing sheets so often discarded or the coming to terms with crime-induced burglary and the esteeming of the kitchen entrance.

The Sol y Sombra project lab has prototyped an interactive tool, for the analysis and 3D visualisation of territories such as the Orinoco River in the Venezuelan Amazon, which reveals its geographical, political, and economic complexity, by geolocating and overlaying interests, conflicts and possibilities. The tool highlights potential development opportunities, locations for emergent markets in clean natural resources and new labour economies and suggests these can generate added value for local and global communities.

The City of Prague has launched an architectural design competition for the Vltava Philharmonic Hall in the latter half of August. This building will become a new city landmark, a heart of a future new municipal district. The Vltava Philharmonic Hall will also launch and accelerate the transformation of one Prague’s largest brownfields: the Bubny-Zatory redevelopment zone for which it will provide a new urban centre. The construction of the Vltava Philharmonic Hall will perpetuate Prague’s international reputation as a cultural capital.

Organized by OTEC Cultura y territorio / Universidad San Sebastián, this event is a conversation with Miguel Lawner, winner of the 2019 National Architecture Prize, on "Core Guidelines for Teaching Social Housing."

European Housing Innovation Awards are part of the Europe Housing Forum. The main objective of this contest is to showcase and reward meaningful initiatives that contribute to solutions for affordable housing in Europe.

The Award was designed and conceived by the After the Damages International Academy, and aims to recognise the fundamental importance of the players involved in the processes that characterise all the phases of a disastrous event, with the aim of identifying and rewarding designers from the private and public sector, social cooperatives, bodies and institutions that have initiated virtuous processes towards the territory and communities, through projects, completed and uncompleted works, national and international social cooperation, experiences in territorial governance, research in technological and management fields, interventions on the landscape and the soil, on existing built heritage or newly built works.

About the workshop-
Rhino is one of the best tools to explore and develop a wide range of solutions. Rhino is an ideal toolset to generate dynamic associated geometries such as NURBS surfaces, meshes and solid models. Go far beyond what has been previously possible to design or fabricate with the additional information Grasshopper can generate.​

This seminar aims to create a space to listen to and make visible various local and international initiatives that allow us to reflect on our disciplines' impact on society. We also seek to hear projects that invite us to rethink the processes that reproduce class, race, or gender inequality to face the social challenges of our times from our creative vocation.
