Hello,
next week we will resume the reviews focusing on panels 03 and 04 for everybody.
We will also give you instructions for the final materials and exhibition planned for June, 22nd, the day of the final exam.
At 12:00 we will also have the GUEST LECTURE 03 by Stefanos Antoniadis (DD PhD, architect) from FA.ULisboa _ Lisbon School of Architecture, University of Lisbon and DICEA UniNA _ Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, University of Napoli Federico II. Title: LEARNING BY PORTOLANS. Reading and re-writing the built coastline. Topic: The segments of coastline around the Mediterranean basin bristle with objets trouvés, ordinary forms and materials, “unacknowledged” architectures, eyesores impacting the environment, often enmeshed in complex issues of environmental risks and wavering territorial policies. This amount is an unappealing buildings inventory whose frequent state of neglect is due not only to dubious dealings, but also to climate change. At the same time, this built stuff is the scattered landscape of the contemporaneity and our habitat, whether we like it or not, since by 2050 over half of the world’s population will live within 50 km of major masses of water. If the present trend continued, over the following 50 years, such percentage would climax to more than 75%. The strategies for bringing back into play this vast contemporary built coastline, often declared Non-Places, disordered, without specific vocation, cannot follow obsolete and past practices, based on a few known elements and operations. Rather, they must draw inspiration from investigation practices such as those typical of the nautical discipline, represented by the historical and event more recent pilot books, based on experience and observation, containing information relating to the regions to explore: preliminary and forerunner practices that transcended pre-established categorizations.
