“Every proposal, no matter how audacious, is worthy of consideration in the face of today’s defining challenges”: until Friday 21 June practitioners, scientists, scholars, activists, architects and non-architects are encouraged to submit their ideas for the #BiennaleArchitettura2025. The proposals will be evaluated by the Curator Carlo Ratti (CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati) for possible inclusion in the 19th International Architecture Exhibition #IntelliGens (Venice, 10 May > 23 November 2025) or the broader curatorial program.

The head or the Termination of the building is the most important element of the architecture.of an iconic building.The video shows a very interesting comparison between two generations of architecture hundred years apart. The copper dome of courthouse vs the titanium copula of the museum.

That book I really like (unlike the one on radical museology). Four essays on the contemporary art trends and practice - research based installation, performance exhibitions, interventions and invocation of modernist architecture. How do we look and perceive art today through the screens and permanent information noise? What has come instead of attentive and slow looking? What is the problem of contemporary spectatorship?

Check out the ideas that emerged from our roundtable 'Public Art: Not Just a Nice To Have' below and read the summary at https://lnkd.in/erAY8dn7 👇
"Public art is a way of bringing people along the journey” This month UP Projects and Sheppard Robson Architects hosted a roundtable event that explored the positive role that art and artists can play in shaping places, including engaging communities and contributing social value. The roundtable challenged the idea that public art is just a “nice to have”; frequently being commissioned as an afterthought or because it has been stipulated as a planning condition. You can now read a summary of the conversation that brought professionals from across public art, architecture, private development and local authority sectors together to discuss what changes are required to foreground the value of public art. 🔑 Key considerations include timing, rethinking ideas of permanence and valuing process-driven approaches. 📄 Read it at: https://lnkd.in/eVcQvaqH Jo Baxendale Clarissa Bromelle FRSA Zerritha Brown FRSA Dan Burr Synthia Griffin Dann Jessen Moira Lascelles Adriana Marques Kevin McGeough Philippine Nguyen Olaide Oboh Jessica Reynolds Anna Shapiro Ian Taylor Emma Underhill Debbie Whitfield Emma Wilcox #publicart

My #ratiodujour (something which is abstracted from, and follows upon, a given picture) is the defining architectural principle from which the whole of the utopian Nova Cantabrigiensis Gesamtkunstwerk proceeds. #architecturalprinciple #utopia

When I saw this "#the_uncomfortable_art", what struck my mind was... ለካስ.. a small change in a design can change the function of that device/thing completely! Learn to value the small details!!! Just because they make it look simple, doesn't mean it has less function!!! you know the value is in the detail, when you no longer find it the same way you have taken it for granted for so long. My favorite "Uncomfortable Arts" were 1. "the key with a flat head", 2." the watering can with wrongly curved spout & sprinkler" & 3. "the fork with a flopy chain handle"

Major milestone in my PhD: developing and designing a monograph of Alberto Cruz's work, funded by Câmara Municipal de Cascais, and to be published next month. This research aims to inscribe Alberto Cruz in the historiography of modern Portuguese architecture through the identification of points of reception and cleavage, associated with the tradition and modernity's debate overall. By characterizing this architect's journey through forty years (1945-1987), we believe is possible to argue about his ability to dialogue the modern process with a spirit of tradition, corresponding, like himself, to the floating notion of the project of modernity in Portuguese architecture.

V&A's exhibition examines the colonial origins of "Tropical Modernism" in British West Africa, and the survival of the style in the post-colonial period when it symbolized the independence and progressiveness of newly independent countries like Ghana and India. Exhibition curators sought to contextualize the history of Tropical Modernism by also looking at the architecture against the regional anti-colonial struggle of the time. This film clip traces the style's colonialist beginnings to its adoption by Kwame Nkrumah, the first Prime Minister of newly-independent Ghana, to become a symbol of freedom, modernity and progressiveness. The full 30-minute film is on view at "Tropical Modernism: Architecture and Independence" at the V&A in London through September 2024.

Brilliant work, Nic Coetzer. Important research and commentary covering a new perspective on elements of architecture in South Africa: "An Architecture Of Care," part of the Routledge Research in Architecture series. Chapeau! This jumps off the page for me: "The birth of design through context and climate in the Arts and Crafts Movement is demonstrated by the shift in South African houses from boxy cottages to solar- and nature-oriented ribbon plans as demonstrated through the work of Helmut Stauch and Norman Eaton." Yes, and more please. https://lnkd.in/eyN-7gSR. "Architects care. It is foundational and germane to the discipline and practice of architecture. This book charts the way the Arts and Crafts Movement established the moral ethos of ‘an architecture of care’ that not only remains embedded in current discourse and practice but also that is being given a more vocal presence in our climate-crisis and social justice world. By way of ‘genealogical strands’ the book charts the origin of ‘architecture of care’ ideas in the Arts and Crafts Movement and their impact on the ‘other progeny’ architectural projects in South Africa over the past hundred years. These range from the translation of inglenooks into an armature architecture of ‘Dignified Places’ in Cape Town’s townships to the ethos of ‘upliftment’ and care that translates from Octavia Hill through to ‘correcting’ building regulations and eventually finding a less moralising and more transformative impact in the ‘Hostels to Homes’ project." #architecture #capetown #booklaunch #routledge #research #solar #nature #townships #artsandcrafts #builtenvironment

Decolonization of Museum Architecture: This publication delves into the evolving role of museums as spaces for inclusive narratives, examining how architecture can contribute to the process of decolonization. Through case studies and critical analysis, it explores the ways in which museum design can challenge colonial legacies, embrace indigenous voices, and create environments that foster dialogue and cultural engagement. The aim is to rethink museum spaces not only as repositories of history but as active participants in shaping a more equitable future. #museumarchitecture #museumdecolonization
