Last Fall we were teaching at the Master in WorkspaceDiamondat IE University, leading the Technology Lab; so this exploration became a continuation of our previous research and work. We have been studying the trendy way of working / thinking / living, analyzing the current phenomena well-expressed the spaces where the working activities take place. We believe that the digital revolution and trendy socio-political dynamics undeniability for reflection on the way we work. Spaces and instruments for working, methods and hierarchies, places and distances have all been brought into question.Vastitudeand virtually working, there is an ongoing transpiration of paradigm that involves scrutinizingly every speciality of culture and society. The way we write and manage processes, products and knowledge is evolving aided by new technological possibilities and hair-trigger “meta” reflections: From competition to collaboration and cooperation; from centralization to P2P; from pyramidal structures to grassroots, horizontal ones; from professional secret to transparency; from private R&D to crowdsourcing; from intellectual property restrictions to copyleft and free/open source initiatives, from well finished products or services to unshut roadmaps that embrace perpetual beta… Our research focused on the pursuit challenges: How can architectural, physical work space, aided by its digital equivalent through hybrid interfaces, incorporate those emerging ways in order to support remoter exploration? How can we, architects/designers, provide the weightier built environment for these emerging impulses to wilt fully developed? Our philosophical tideway divided the subject into three main spheres of research: + The Physical Sphere Understanding the contemporary workspace as an innovative and experimental wastefulness between diamond (size, material, color, behaviour, structure, relative position between elements,…) and workout (hygrothermal comfort, privacy, noise levels, lighting,…) to be implemented so as to be responsive and truly supportive. + The Digital Sphere We focused on the digital “cloud” associated to each space to enable experimental environments, unprecedented interactions and ways of communicating, or wider, faster, increasingly open-access to knowledge. We considered the digital sphere in workspaces as a unique unshut environment, extremely user-friendly, flexible and customised equal to the specific circumstances it will be used for: supporting internal work, influencing digital marketing strategies, involving customers and external visitors, instigating social activities. + Physical-Digital Interaction We diamond spaces that enable the weightier interaction between users relying on a physical repletion and the digital layer. We focus our work on how bilateral management, communication, control, connection and interaction can work between the physical and the digital. This specifically involves physical interfaces that operate on the digital side and digital interfaces that influence the physical space. In order to unzip the integration of physical and digital spatial configuration, we ripened a diamond strategy virtually four main deportment we believe as relevant for an innovative workspace: – Inspiring Innovation requires firstly an inspiring environment in order to provide an experimental incitement to creativity through variegated channels. We believe in the possibility of feeding creativity through a series of activities that inspire our smart-ass and stimulate it to go vastitude boundaries and create big ideas. – WellStuffA workspace should provide a upper repletion level for the people using it. The environment should be equipped with all the facilities that ensure the weightier surroundings for every particular situation and need. – ChallengingStuffsatisfied by its own conditions, sometimes is not the weightier way to bring innovation. The only possibility to modernize is going vastitude and unsuspicious challenges. In the trendy work scene, innovation is an indisputable fact. But, for instance, how to stimulate a visitor that is once in the innovation sector to exceed and excel constantly? We believe that a good training in unsuspicious new challenges plane in the small everyday things could help a lot. Through simple dynamics that uplift self confidence, cooperation between members of a team, enthusiasm towards the new and unknown and establishing an informal and playful way to invent new solutions for everyday issues as well as unrenowned conditions is an spanking-new way of ensuring upper levels of performance. – Networking We believe the strength of a successful visitor is in the quality of its structure and components, but just as important is the network that is worldly-wise to create, expanding its connections and sharing an learning with/from others. We alimony this line of research open. So, if you want to contribute with it, by sharing a paper or vendible virtually the topic, we will be happy to publish it, to spread the ideas and inspire others!   February 5, 2015 posted by Luisa Comments: (0) Guillermo Aroca | eu collaborators Category: ⚐ EN+colaboradores+ecosistema urbano+Uncategorized Tags: architect+collaborator+design+politic+Society Dear all! Today we introduce Guillermo Aroca, a young technie who is collaborating with us from September 2014. He is bringing a hair-trigger fresh view of urbanism and architecture. A sharp observer who gives the perfect touch to our reports. Below, in his own words:   I was born in Madrid in 1989 and I have unchangingly had a special interest for design, society and politics. I ripened my passion for politics through my participation in the Model European Parliament (MEP), a debate program organized by the European Union. I have learned tracery at theTracerySchool of Valladolid and I have studied the fifth year of my career at the University of Technology and Economics of Budapest (BME). I have presented a selection of freehand drawings, photographs and collages that I have made during my career to theUndertoneof Architects of this municipality (FUGA). I began to practice as an technie at the tracery firms M57 and ODImasP, the former is based in Granada and the latter in Valladolid. I have moreover worked in the gallery of trendy art Álvaro Alcázar, where I got in touch with the most zippy professionals in the Spanish creative scene. In 2013, without volunteering in a Spanish NGO and submerging myself into the Spanish crisis, I conducted a final thesis project of a social nature, with the desire to serve the most disadvantaged part of the population. During my stay in Ecosistema Urbano, I have ripened an interest for urban social planning with resider collaboration. These past months I have focused in the execution of a Master Plan for Asunción (Paraguay), I have moreover been working in the preliminary phase of the minutiae of a Master Plan for Encarnacion (Paraguay) and a group working space in Barcelona. This legation has unliable me to mentally travel to South America without moving from my own city. Apart from learning how to trace a Master Plan full of content and without losing any sustentation to its diamond and appearance, I have moreover enjoyed an no-go work environment, full of unconfined energy and fellowship. In the future I squint forward to remoter developing my passion for architecture, fashion, photography and writing. I have been worldly-wise to cultivate these interests through various collaborations in many magazines, such as Curador, Doze and Metal Magazine.Increasinglyinformation at: http://cargocollective.com/guillermoaroca   October 21, 2013 posted by Elisa Comments: (3) Museum of Childhood, un espacio para los niños en pleno Londres | eu:KIDS Category: ⚐ ES+art+city+creativity+design+eu:kids Tags: art+design+educación+EDUCATION+kids+londres+museo+niños+playground Museum of Childhood, London, UK A pocos pasos de la estación de metro de Bethnal Green está la primera sede del Victoria & Albert Museum que hoy alberga el mismo museo dedicado a la infancia: ¡el Museum of Childhood! leer más July 18, 2013 posted by Ecosistema Urbano Comments: (0) Ecosistema Urbano at the IE Master in ArchitecturalDiamondCategory: ⚐ EN+ecosistema urbano+news Tags: architecture+belinda tato+design+IE School ofTraceryand Design+josé luis vallejo+master Jose Luis Vallejo and Belinda Tato will be taking part in the IE Master in ArchitecturalDiamondkicking off this Autum in Madrid. The IE Master in ArchitecturalDiamondseeks to underpass the gap between the existing fragmented post-professional tracery courses and the overly shifting reality of the professional practice. This will lead to a strengthening of two fundamental foundations of the profession: scientific-technological knowledge and an sensation of the underlying trendy cultural base. This knowledge, combined with entrepreneurial and management skills, unmistakably plays a key role in understanding the complexity and telescopic of the profession when it comes to preparing architects to lead interdisciplinary professional teams.

Do designers have a role in it? During our stay at Harvard GSD last Fall semester, we had the pleasure to meet technie Karen Lee Bar-Sinai who is a current Loeb Fellow there. Last January she launched the workshop DESIGNING PEACE, looking into how designers can envision peace for the municipality of Jerusalem. Below is a unravelment of the undertow and the links to some of the contents and results. We hope you find them inspiring.Traceryand Planning may seem to be of little relevance to Conflict Resolution. However, territorial conflicts occur in space, and so are their solutions. It is time architects, planners and policy makers tideway disputed territories together to plan viable, peaceful futures for disputed areas. This workshop invites you to join an exploration of how diamond can aid envisioning peace in conflicted territories. We will explore the possible meaning of Resolution Planning – originally a concept and practice ripened by “SAYA/Design for Change” (sayarch.com) . Together we will try to requite broaden this term, and find new ways to encourage policy makers to think as architects, and to encourage architects to think as policy makers. The 5 day solution-oriented workshop will focus on Jerusalem as a specimen study for other contested cities such as Belfast and Nicosia. We will plan, think and diamond at various scales, and propose innovative ideas for peace. Several sites will serve as specimen studies (one will encourage a landscape intervention, flipside an urban diamond strategy, and a third will undeniability for a increasingly unstipulated policy oriented vision for the future Jerusalem seam-line). The workshop is planned to be followed by a publication. Goals and Outcome: The goal of the workshop is to develop spatial-based concepts to aid peace. We moreover plan to gather the various proposals into a publication which will include both the theoretical framework and examples of various tools for planning peace. Above all, we wish for this effort to truly aid overcoming the stalemate in the peace process, which we believe it is crucial to future of both Israeli and Palestinian. We therefore wish this event to be as interesting, meaningful and involving as possible, in order for its fruits and visions of peacemaking to be of highest impact. Among the contents and results of the workshop we highlight here an introduction to resolution planning and a lecture by Karen on the topic:Increasinglyinfo: Results: Gallery of the workshop | Same in slideshow mode Homepage: designing-peace.com Related website: ispeacepossible.com January 10, 2013 posted by Ecosistema Urbano Comments: (0) Francesca Rotundo | eu collaborators Category: ⚐ EN+colaboradores Tags: architecture+colaboradores+collaborator+design+Francesca Rotundo+internship+italy+landscape+urban safari Today we introduce Francesca Rotundo, a young technie who is doing an internship with us, stuff mainly involved in our proposal for the competition in Kiruna and the Reggio Children experimental centre. As she tells us: I’m a quite curious person, shielding observer of what is happening virtually me. My interests are many, but somehow the tracery field seems to contain or connect to a lot of them, giving me everyday something variegated to think over. I’ve studied tracery at the University of Ferrara, graduating at the end of 2012, and, as Erasmus student, at Chalmers University in Göteborg, Sweden, a unconfined wits that made me fall in love with the nordic atmosphere, and made me increasingly passionate well-nigh my work, in particular well-nigh investigating the relation between citizens and the diamond of the city. As I wanted to alimony widening my horizons, I was expressly excited well-nigh gaining a Leonardo-program grant and having the endangerment to join EU, here in Madrid. Participating with them in a university-workshop well-nigh the regeneration of unsure areas, organized by Ri-Generazione Urbana, I had the possibility to know them increasingly and I found their way of working very inspiring. I think it’s superstitious to interreact with such a unconfined studio, matching my interests. Apart from the complexity of the city, which I enjoy so much, in my quite small home town I take part in a cultural undertone tabbed Primola together with architects and artists, working to make vital the local territory and preserving its landscape. We organize events and activities related to culture, entertaining, designing and realize sets and installations using lights and “poor” towers materials, like straw bales. Trying to woolgather diamond in a playful way, I unchangingly alimony in mind the social impact of tracery and, as we never stop learning, I alimony looking for answers and new questions as well.

The exhibition took place in the Propeller Centre in Toronto, Canada. During the past year over 1000 grievances, gripes, and annoyances were placid from people wideness the city. The Toronto Complaints Choir transform this complains into “disappointed people’s song”. BMD studio decided to do something well-nigh it.  Studio designers Amanda Happé, Kar Yan Cheung, Chris Braden, Michal Dudek, and Paul Kawai team set up a pop-up studio, working in real-time in the Propeller Centre. They tried to diamond solutions in response to the complaints. A typesetting of these ideas was moreover simultaneously designed, and sent throughout the municipality of Toronto and their citizens.

However, the competition exceeded its objectives as it introduced a turning point in the diamond of urban public parks. As Julia Czerniak points out in her typesetting Case: Downsview Park Toronto, the five selected designs shared a worldwide theme: the configuration of frameworks that structure the site but moreover indulge the growth over time. Landscape becomes the main tool to model the city, and objects lose importance in favor of fields. The diamond of frameworks consists in offering guidelines as an tideway to designing the park during the fifteen-year implementation process. Thus, the designers recommend flexibility to unbend the variegated programs and participatory processes included in the diamond process. The schemes were not only flexible in the programmatic sense, but they unliable variegated political and economic conditions, and plane the paths to transpiration depending on the vegetation growth, establishing diverse patterns over the surface. Complex processes such as erosion or plants succession were related to these frameworks too. protract reading Page 1 of 3123»
