“In “A Simple Heart”, DOGMA [Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara] develops an archetype for the contemporary European city. An ‘Edufactory’ of 22 residential units, it has its direct antecedent in Cedric Price’s Potteries Thinkbelt (1964–6) project that proposed transforming a redundant railway network in North Staffordshire into a university campus.”
CURRENCY ~ REVOLUTION: SPATIAL STRATEGIES OF RESISTANCE
May 14, 2013, 7:00-8:30 PM
E15-001, ACT Cube, MIT
20 Ames Street, Cambridge, MA
Please join thresholds 41 REVOLUTION! editor Ana María León and Scapegoat: Architecture/Landscape/Political Economy: 04 CURRENCY issue editor Adrian Blackwell for short presentations on the overlapping contents of their journals’ latest issues and the objectives that inform their respective structures. What spatial strategies have been deployed to resist the political and economic repressions of past and present? How can journals function as research vehicles? The ensuing discussion will be moderated by Rebecca Uchill and introduced by Gediminas Urbonas and Antoni Muntadas.
Ever since Google and GPS have become our references for navigation, the function of the map has evolved into platforms for cutting-edge illustration, experimental data visualisation and personal visual storytelling. Isn’t that the most wonderful development - that something can lose its original ‘raison d’être’ and transform into something completely different, but equally meaningful?
Book-ish Territory: A Manual of Alternative Library Tactics [2011]
“This project aims to challenge the model of the institutionalized library, calling for a new decentralized system. The fundamental characteristics of a library and a city are the same: they both serve as spaces of exchange and encounter. Dispersing library content throughout the city would be of mutual benefit to the library and city: opportunities for informational exchange and casual encounter would dramatically increase.” (from introduction)
