Workshop: Biogénesis – Laboratorio colectivo

Universidad Pontificia Boliviariana / Colombia

Design and collaborative construction of a modular structure on a large scale, based on an analogous system of form generation and transformation, based on biological and geometric principles. A collective work is proposed with 30 people who will be divided into five groups of six members each. The exercise consists in the design of a volumetric system that occupies a space of 6m x 6m x 6m generated from the union of six (6) three-dimensional modules which in turn are composed of sixty (60) cubic constructions. The proposed construction unit is corrugated cardboard box of 31cmx31cmx31cm. These units will be joined together with an adhesive following a system of simple assembly rules to generate a construction module that will then be attached to the other modules to generate the structure.

    Leonardo 50th Anniversary

    leonardo.info/50th-anniversary

    A half a century ago, kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina set out to solve the needs of a community of artists and scientists working across disciplines by using the “new media” of the time: offset print publishing. As a groundbreaking, innovative venture, Leonardo represented a unique vision: to serve as an international channel of communication among artists, with emphasis on the writings of artists who use science and developing technologies in their work. The result was Leonardo, an academic journal for artists with the peer-review rigor of a scientific journal. For 50 years, Leonardo has been the definitive publication for artist-academics, and the field has gained momentum in recent years.

    Talk: Nuevos limites de la democracia

    Michel Wieviorka / France

    Until the mid-1980s, democracy did not seem to concern philosophical reflection in the field of political sociology. It was enough to think of it as the regime opposed to communism and dictatorship. Since then, critical thinking has developed in several ways, giving the impression of some discomfort when it comes to thinking about the solution to the great contemporary challenges, for example: social difficulties, injustice, inequalities, crisis of Political and party representation, institutional deficiencies and the treatment of culturally or religious orders, violence, etc.

    Talk: La fabbrica della conoscenza e della sostenibilità urbana Mario Panizza / Italy The “knowledge factory” is a dear metaphor in Rome Tre. Since its founding, the University has been proposed as a constituent part of the social fabric in which it is part and its commitment has focused, through the recovery and reconversion of existing buildings, on the planning of the territory and the upgrading of Areas destined for degradation. Through a constantly evolving project, always attentive to the needs of the context, our property has been enriched with buildings once destined for other purposes: little “university” silhouettes that, despite functional adaptation, have transformed them into new plants Still keeping their “personality”. Here is the idea of the “knowledge factory”: a project that, in the full recovery of historical memory, is capable of transforming the territory through modern structures; A metaphor useful, therefore, to represent the transition to the […]
