ATMOSPHERES – 1000 HUMAN ENVIRONMENTS @ POLIMI

Thursday, March 27th, 2014

Application closed!

.

For the first time, in conjunction with the Design Week, 8-13 April 2014, Politecnico di Milano will perform an environmental installation that will take place at Campus Leonardo. All the students of Architecture (both in Leonardo and Bovisa and of all Study courses) will be the authors. The theme of the choral exhibition is “Atmospheres – 1000 Human Environments”: the students have to answer for the recreation and suggestion of a “environmental atmosphere” that could be a minimal space, an internal environment, an open space, an imaginary place, a place to be…

The unique element of the whole installation will be a plexiglass box (25x25x25 cm) in which, or on its surfaces, each student will create its personal striking atmosphere.

addio ad un grande collega – ricordo

Tuesday, March 25th, 2014

A un anno dalla scomparsa pubblichiamo nuovamente per ricordare.

Al politecnico siamo in tanti a insegnare: ci sono molti docenti bravi, ma di docenti speciali ce ne sono davvero pochi, anzi pochissimi. Anche per me che al politecnico insegno con passione e rabbia. Non farò nomi se non di quello che ci ha lasciato molto prematuramente oggi, 25 marzo 2013. Un collega dotato di un particolare talento nello sviluppare riflessioni critiche che sapientemente sapeva trasformare in seduttive e colte lezioni per gli studenti dei suoi corsi. Una modalità di pensiero laterale sempre spiazzante, acuta e precisa. Di solito lasciava senza parole i suoi interlocutori perché non erano in grado di star dietro alle sue accelerazioni di senso… e di questo sapere gli studenti si nutrivano, coltivando un amore per il lavoro e lo studio che in tanti anni non ho visto altrove, neppure nei miei corsi, e lo ammetto con un misto di invidia e riconoscenza. Perché davanti all’intelligenza degli altri, quando è manifesta pura e schietta bisogna sapersi riconoscere limitati senza per questo sentirsi umiliati o puniti.

Stazione Agip got listed

Friday, February 21st, 2014

We just found out that the Stazione di Servizio Agip, the beloved building topic of our 2012 Design Lab, has been officially listed. According to the public authorities – namely the Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo – the building is “of  particularly outstanding historical and artistic interest” and will be now subject to safeguard. The official document stating this important judgement features a short bibliography that includes our Lab-int-2012 as a reference.

It goes without saying that we consider this a huge achievenment for the commitment played out by our students in that project.

The Next Monument, Amsterdam

Wednesday, February 12th, 2014

Are monuments only records of recorded histories? How can they act as a prompts for on-going reflection? Could a traditional monument be the starting point for individual commemoration? Does a memorial have to be fashioned out of bronze or marble to make a significant impression on our psyche? [James Young]

Villard 15 – Paesaggi strategici

Saturday, February 1st, 2014

Lablog has been invited to share the Villard 15 International meeting in Venice [29-30/01/2014] and to present the new issued volume Re-enacting the past ed. by Michela Bassanelli and Gennaro Postiglione. Venice was immersed in the water – as it happens in this season – and all transfers required much more time and a lot of patience, but for sure giving to all of us the precise feeling that this is a city like no one else in the world.

Mirjam Ohringer – Widerstand gegen die Nationalsozialisten in NL

Per la Giornata della Memoria (27 Gennaio 2014), lablog, all’interno del progetto di ricerca REcall, è andato ad ascoltare i racconti di Mirjam Ohringer, una sopravvissuta alla deportazione di Ebrei ad Amsterdam e membro attivo della Resistenza Ebrea in città. Tra le tante cose dette nelle due ore di conversazione, Mirjam ha ricordato di aver rifiutato la possibilità che le si era creata di emigrare in Svizzera per non abbandonare la sua posizione di giovane della resistenza cittadina.
