W CUBE at Miaw 2014

the Cube is a white squared kiosk in the atrium of our school, a small temporary pavilion which was built in December 2013, in occasion of the laurea honoris causa to Alvaro Siza. We have occupied this sizian space using it as a billboard where to exhibit info, texts and images, and we also transformed its interior space in a workspace, in a reading room for our Miawspaper and documents and in a tv set for W TV, making here some of the interviews with Miaw teachers and students.

W Display – Miaw 2014

This table presents a display of the work made by the Miaw 2014 W Section, a work which produced on three different domains.

The first one is the printed page domain, where we produced two publications. The first is a Miawspaper, quite a daily sheet which follows the everyday life of Miaw. The second one is a book, a real instantaneous volume, which collects documents on the many remarkable theorical and practical Miaw events.

The second domain is the physical, where we used the Cube, the white squared kiosk in the atrium of our school, a small temporary pavilion which was built in December 2013, in occasion of the laurea honoris causa to Alvaro Siza. We have occupied this sizian space using it as a billboard where exhibit info, texts and images, and also transforming its interior space in a workspace, in a reading room for our documents and in a tv set, where we did some of the many interviews with Miaw teachers and students.

The third domain is the internet, the virtual cloud where we found some cozy niches creating a blog, opening and filling a youtube channel with our videos, activating a facebook page often connected with other institutional and non institutional pages. The fourt channel is the Miaw website that is still sleeping but we would like to take it to a new and real, or virtual, and better life soon. 

The fourth domain is this table, the place where the work made in those other domains, or dimensions, leaves its temporary footprint, exposing real books, the newspapers migrated from the not so far white cube, and the internet, present here in a proliferation of QR codes which invite you, visitor, to acts the link to our pages.

Recycling Socialism – Tallinn Linnahall

International Architecture Schools’ Exhibition opening

Date: 2013-09-04

Time: 20:00

Location: Linnahall foyer (Mere pst 20)

Price: free

The international Architecture Schools' Exhibition presents innovative ways of studying, preserving, and, if necessary, redefining architecture and its values. What kind of means and methods can be used for that? The exhibition showcases the challenges of spatial creation: exploring and experimenting, and the future potentials rising from that – with the world's leading architecture schools as examples. Presentations of the exhibited works, discussions and guided tours of Linnahall will take place during the opening week of the Biennale. The exhibition remains open until September 29th.

Linnahall Spaceship

Built for the Olympic Games of 1980 as a Sport and Cultural Center in Tallinn harbor, the Linnahall is a huge abandoned complex which belongs to the archeology of the Soviet empire.
Too big to be used, too big to be demolished.
Inside the Linnahall our students are preparing the exhibit of our Design Studio.

Gallaratese Redux

Studio: Ground Zero – Gallaratese Redux

Spring 2013

Lecturers: Matteo Poli, Alessandro Rocca, Riccardo Mazzoni

http://www.polimi.it/

Students were asked to complete a project, defined to proper scale, of landscape, environmental design and/or architecture. Continuous social, economical and political transformations were the framework of each intervention as driving forces for the fragility of contemporary physical environment.

As an interface between city and architecture, landscape and built environment, GROUND LEVEL a.k.a. ground zero has been used as a canvas for social protest, as a manifesto for architectural styles, as a technological device to control climate, accesses, aura and status of buildings.

During the semester the class deeply investigated how ground level has evolved in architecture and urbanism. They designed a series of interlocking examples to obtain a new city utopia based on street sections with a specific look to the last 100 years. Sections and 1.1 frottages tell a story of a urban ecosystem.

We aim to refine design capacities of each student and to increase critical and analytical abilities, fundamental in contemporary architecture debate and profession.

TAB Architecture Schools' Exhibition

The International Architecture Schools' Exhibition invites students and professors from several renowned Architecture Schools from all over the globe to biennale's discussion.

The traditional result of architects’ work is designed space, a material result born in a complicated process of quest. How much is architecture (in the meaning of designed space) influenced by the approaches chosen for creating it? The International Architecture School Exhibition proposes and introduces different methods of studying, defining and questioning space from the most pragmatic and practical to philosophical and contemplative. Attention is shifted from architecture as a matter of fact to architecture as a process of critical thinking. Can unexpected methods of creating space result in unpredictable types of space?

By concentrating and introducing different critical ideas, starting-points, and perspectives, the schools’ exhibition raises the question: how might different methods of approach function in the context of recycling the historical Soviet-era space?

Ra Di Martino, Abandoned star wars film sets in the tunisian desert"

No More Stars

After spending over a month traveling around chott el djerid in tunisia, new york-based visual artist and filmmaker rä di martino has captured a series of photographs of the abandoned star wars film sets.

Titled 'no more stars,' the images of her collection showcase the ruins of luke skywalker’s home on the fictional desert planet Tatooine. Constructed out of mud, cement-covered MDF and coiled aluminum, the particular hot and dry climate has helped keep many parts of the sets intact, or buried under the sand. After years of deterioration, the remains seem to appear like ancient ruins and archeological sites.
