El PID “Archimnemosyne”, con la colaboración del IUU, VirtUVa, el GIR DARPA y la ETS de Arquitectura ha organizado un workshop que se celebrará este viernes 17 de mayo, en horario de mañana y tarde (10:00-19:00) en el Aula Máster de la ETS de Arquitectura de Valladolid.
Leer másEl pasado viernes 11 de marzo concluyó el Workshop sobre Regeneración urbana en el que hemos participado en Roma con alumnos de la Universidad de la Sapienza y de la Universidad de Castilla la Mancha. Desde la presentación del workshop, los alumnos han trabajado en grupos hispano-italianos de 5-6 personas, tutorados por los profesores José María Ureña, Inmaculada Mohino, Chiara Ravagnan, Irene Poli, Francesca Accica, Francesco Crupi y Víctor Pérez-Eguíluz.
Tanto el workshop como el seminario que se produjo el primer día se celebraron en el Dipartimento di Pianificazione, Design, Tecnologia dell’Architettura
(PDTA) de la Facoltà di Architettura dell’Università La Sapienza de Roma, coordinados por la profesora Laura Ricci.
En esta entrada queremos dejar testimonio del trabajo realizado sobre el barrio de “Tor Fiscale”. Situado al sureste de Roma, se trata de un sector de asentamientos residenciales degradados e informales producidos a partir de la postguerra, carente de unos mínimos de urbanización, espacios publicos y servicios pero con cierta riqueza patrimonial. No en vano, está sobre la desaparecida via Latina (junto al parque arqueológico del mismo nombre), entre la vía Appia y la vía Tuscolana, donde se puede ver perfectamente tanto un acueducto romano como otro renacentista. Algunas situaciones de infravivienda, el tremendo déficit de ordenación y de cualidad en los espacios públicos combinado con la existencia de suelo no ocupado con posiblidad de transformación hacen de este entorno un lugar que demanda nuestra reflexión.
El trabajo consistió en comprender todos los criterios de ordenación ya establecidos por el PRG-2008 de Roma, familiarizarse con instrumentos como el Programa Integrado de intervención y realizar un diagnóstico propio de las posibilidades del sector. Una vez hecho esto y en solo 3 días, cada grupo de 5 o 6 alumnos redactó un esquema de ordenación y estrategias (con iniciativas públicas y privadas), muchas de las cuales giraron en relación a la obtención de suelo para espacios libres, equipamientos, la conexión con los parques territoriales del entorno, la introducción de áreas de mezcla de usos y centralidad y la mejora de la accesibilidad y conectividad (tanto interna como externa, aprovechando la próximidad de vías rodadas y férreas de trasporte público).
Dejamos aquí una galería de imágenes de la experiencia que hemos compartido, desde los seminarios, las visitas de campo o las exposiciones de los trabajos del viernes.
Dejamos enlaces a las publicaciones previas al seminario que hemos hecho desde la Universidad de Valladolid y desde La Sapienza.

La próxima semana, participaremos en un Seminario-Workshop que se celebrará en la Universidad La Sapienza de Roma, titulado: “Riqualificare, rigenerare, trasformare la città contemporánea. Per una strategia di integrazione e di riequilibrio urbano e metropolitano“.
Está organizado conjuntamente por las Universidades de La Sapienza-Roma, Valladolid y Castilla La Mancha y consistirá en un seminario a celebrar el día 8 de marzo y un workshop que se desarrollará entre el 8 y el 11 de marzo. El lugar escogido será el edificio del Departamento de Planificación Diseño Tecnología de la Arquitectura de Roma (via Flaminia 72, Aula Piccinato).
Las intervenciones del seminario abordan la temática de la regeneración-recualificación a través de la discusión de las estrategias generales y los instrumentos, especialmente dentro de los planes generales que afecten a los territorios municipales/metropolitanos y que están caracterizados por la presencia de uno o más factores de intervención sobre la calidad.
El workshop consistirá en el trabajo sobre un área de intervención, proyectando un proceso de regeneración en un ámbito de la ciudad de Roma: el barrio de Tor Fiscale al sureste de la ciudad, cercano a los acueductos y la via Appia Nuova.
Entre el 3 de junio y el 31 de agosto de este verano se organiza en Ghana un workshop o taller de construcción para levantar un edificio con tapial y estructura de bambú. Todo surgió a raíz de un concurso para una pequeña residencia para artistas en un pueblo llamado Abetenim, en el que el estudio ASA (del que forma parte Jaime Velasco Pérez) obtuvo una mención de honor y la posibilidad de construirlo.
El workshop está abierto a la participación de todos los que estén interesados. Podéis encontrar toda la información necesaria en los siguientes enlaces:

En ocasión del EXPO en Milán, los amigos de New Generations organizan un workshop internacional para estudiantes, sobre el tema de las “Cascine” y de su potencial economico, social, de desarrollo, etc. para la ciudad contemporanea.
Os invitamos a enviar la solicitud y, al mismo tiempo, a difundir la información para que otros puedan llegar a conocer esta oportunidad. En 2015 Milán será uno de los lugares donde habrá que pasar, así ¿porque no hacerlo y además intentar enfocar un tema interesante y además de gran actualidad?
Para major información podeis contactarles con un correo a events@newgenerationsweb.com
Para los estudiantes que participarán al workshop: gracias a un acuerdo con el Politecnico de Milán, eso puede valer 4 cfu de libre configuración.
To foster interdisciplinarity and collaboration during the workshop, the organization has decided to promote (through a 50% reduction of the participation fee) “paired” inscription: each “pair” must be formed by an architect (student of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning or interior design) + a student of another discipline related to “New Farms for Expo” workshop: namely agronomy, economics, urban geography, environmental engineering or the arts.
Participation
The workshop is open to 24 participants, Masters and PhD international students or young practitioners.
Candidate must possess proficiency in both written and spoken English.
Participants selection
To formalize your interest in taking part to the workshop, please send a motivation letter, a personal CV and a brief collection/portfolio of works (preferably concerning the workshop topics and not exceeding 3 Mb) before May 5, 2015 at 12 PM (GMT+1) to the following address: events@newgenerationsweb.com
In the motivation letter, please write which one of the three main topics of the workshop (see workshop structure) you would like to investigate. A list of selected students will be published on May, 11 2015.
Attendance fee
The attendance fee of the workshop is 120€, 80€ in case of early bird registration before April, 26 2015. Payment details will be sent to selected participants. Participants of the workshop will be awarded with 4 ECTS credits. The fee covers attendance costs, meals provided during the workshops, technical costs.
Accomodation
The participants shall be responsible for their own accommodations during the workshop. Nevertheless, the organization will provide a list of recommended accommodations where to be hosted during their stay.
Workshop goals
The “New Farms for Expo” workshop aims to develop a toolbox for the reuse of vacant buildings in industrialized cities. The research will focus on the local context provided by municipal farmhouses, which are now often left vacant or underused: our task is to reimagine and design specific re-activation strategies. NG is inviting architects, planners and policy-makers, together with agronomists, economists and urban scientists to form a multidisciplinary team. This think tank will address this theme by imagining solutions that redefine the urban role of this vacant buildings, and by providing and prioritizing space for social, cultural and technological experimentations through citizen initiatives or entrepreneurial endeavour.
Workshop structure
The workshop will last a week, during which numerous multidisciplinary confrontations will be paired with a rigorous production schedule. Participants will be divided into three working groups, whose task will be to develop investigative approaches and proposals on three main topics: (1) Building Metabolic Networks through Technologies; (2) New Brand and Storytelling; (3) New Economies.
Collateral events
Participants to the workshop will also have the opportunity to take part in three international symposia focusing on the themes of the workshop, and to participate in guide visits to municipal farms and interesting urban reactivation case studies in the Milanese territory.

‘BECOMING LOCAL. Transforming spaces, redefining localities’ es un workshop internacional que tendrá lugar los días 23, 24 y 25 de octubre de 2014 en la Escuela de Arquitectura de La Villete, en París -Francia-.
El ‘Laboratoire Architecture Anthropologie’ (LAA) organiza un workshop de tres días para la ‘Association of European Schools of Planning’ (AESOP) Thematic Group “Public Spaces and Urban Cultures”. El encuentro de París será el cuarto que se celebra bajo el lema ‘Becoming Local’, continuando con Estambul (noviembre 2013), Bucarest (junio 2014) y Viena (agosto 2014), cuyo objetivo es compartir y debatir perspectivas interdisciplinares en el estudio de los espacios públicos y las culturas urbanas.
Envío de resúmenes (300 palabras) hasta: 7 de julio, 2014. (becominglocalparis2014@gmail.com)
En concreto, el taller de París estará dedicado a cuestionarse el conflicto entre la escala local y la global en los espacios públicos contemporáneos, proponiendo una reflexión sobre las nociones y categorías empleadas para describir identidades locales en un contexto de transformación urbana. A través de una reunión dinámica (Se celebrará en 3 partes: “habla, camina y trabaja”, mediante conferencias, visitas y tormenta de ideas), investigadores, académicos y profesionales podrán afinar una aproximación comparativa al significado de ‘local’ en diferentes casos de estudio alrededor del mundo.

If we assume urban public space to be an arena of social conflict and collective strategies, what happens when places are under transformation? Urban transformation processes reveal the different types of conflicts occurring in uses, representations, and legitimacy.
These dynamics can be observed at all planning scales, from macro to micro, such as global metropolitan centralities planning, ex-industrial areas renovation, social housing renewal, public space reshaping, and urban furniture design.
In the ongoing debate about the city, from the critics of Modernism to the discussions about Globalization, architects, urban planners, and researchers have been called upon to develop new tools for considering and evaluating “local contexts”. The local scale has become a central issue in contemporary projects aiming to reconnect the multiple uses of public space with the human dimension and restore a social sense of community. At the same time the processes of metropolization and gentrification, which take place in large European cities like Paris, are dictating the need of conceiving the city as a polycentric ensemble of urban centers that should enhance its economic “international attraction”.
Through this workshop we propose to face this conflict between the local and global scale in contemporary public spaces by analyzing both the words we use to talk about this conflict as well as the misunderstandings that the use of these same words can provoke in different contexts.
Questioning what the locality is and who the locals are, is a way of challenging the contemporary notion of “commons” in global cities. To answer these questions, urban planners and researchers need to reassess the use of apparently neutral categories such as inhabitants, dwellers, users, citizens, as well as those categories with more specific connotation, such as gentrifiers or stakeholders. In order to question urban design and its relation to local identities, a better understanding of who the “locals” are in cosmopolitan and global cities, is needed. Which local identities are we talking about? How do we name the inhabitants of a street/neighborhood/city? What is the scale of locality? To what extent the notions and terms, applied to describe ‘target groups’ of urban projects, are problematic? The focus on “dwellers”, for example, could result in excluding other users of the public space of a neighborhood that utilize and transform the space daily. Moreover institutions and policies contribute to the redefinition of the scale of public spaces not only by implying a legitimate user but also by framing “sensitive areas”. These actions produce a continuous recomposition of urban identities and bring into question what it means to belong to the local or global scale for inhabitants. What is the role of public spaces in this redefinition and reconfiguration of identities? For whom are public spaces designed in these contexts? Which names are used to describe the future users of a space?
In the same way, participatory policies, lately introduced as a pivotal part of urban transformation processes, are relevant But to what extent is a relevant category for urban design in the context of globalising cities? With whom do experts and politicians “negotiate” their visions of the future in the urban environment? When inclusive public space is planned and designed, who are the interlocutors? Who is at the same time excluded?
This workshop intends to be a moment of shared reflection, an open dialogue between planners, designers, researchers, and the civil society. The aim is to reflect different points of view at the intersection of different disciplines and between theory and practice. Participants are invited to share analytical outcomes and practical answers from different fields and (self-reflected) experiences about the words and notions that are used for (re)defining locality.
The event will be developed in three parts:
Talk / International Conference: A public conference exhibiting participants’ reflections on, and practices in, projects and urban “rescaling” processes, with the aim of comparing and sharing different experiences and definitions. The interventions will seek to answer, from different points of view, the question: Who are the recipients of urban projects? And how does a “legitimate user” redefine the urban scale of a place/space? Contributions will also provide a reflection on the idea of “locality” and “users”.
Walk / In the Field: The ongoing process of Paris metropolization is rich in examples that can be used as fertile case studies for our group discussion. We will propose to focus on some emblematic Parisian areas on which our team is working at the moment (such as Barbès and la Chapelle in the 18th arrondissement and the town center of the Montreuil municipality). The objective of the fieldtrip will be to stimulate as many encounters and exchanges as possible with the involved actors (institutions, NGOs, architects, …).
Work / Brain Storming: The final moment of collective discussion and work is producing a “word cloud” and a list of revisited definitions of the emerging notions. The words that will emerge during the debates and the field trips will be translated and associated in order to develop and enhance a comparative common approach. We expect this exchange to create new interpretative and practical tools for use in further research and project experiences. Participants and organizers will be challenged to experiment with methodological tools in approaching debate, translation, and description.
The event will produce two types of outcomes in different temporalities: a “word cloud” poster along with a blog documenting the workshop in fieri, and a final publication after the meeting.
Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words and a short biography of 100 words to the organizational board: becominglocalparis2014@gmail.com by Monday, July 7th, 2014. We will finalize the sessions and inform all respondents of the outcome by July 21st, 2014.
