Bi-City Biennale Shenzhen

Bi-City Biennale Shenzhen

Date: Monday, 12 June 2017, 7.00 – 8.30 pm
Place: ANCB The Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory, Christinenstr. 18-19, 10119 Berlin

BACKGROUND
The upcoming Bi-City Biennale (Shenzhen), starting in December, will take place mainly in an ‚urban village‘. It provides a unique opportunity to explore diverse visions and strategies of urban growth facing the challenge of excessive urban expansion and uniformisation of social life. The question of how to invent different but relevant ideas and approaches for the future evolution of our urban life becomes urgent. It is time to go beyond the top-down model of development and learn from the bottom-up creative initiatives of the people who inhabit this transitional reality — especially those in the ‚Global South‘ — and their strategies of resistance and invention. The traditional focus on the centre has to shift towards the periphery and beyond to the regional exchange process, in order to include informal and new developments.

PUBLIC DEBATE

Design Cultures Urban Research and Design Methods in Europe and Asia
Friday, 31 March 2017, 4.00 pm

The discussion will introduce both architecture offices and their approach to design. Each of the offices base their design strategies on research in the urban context and topology as well as on traditional concepts to find a contemporary expression for their respective space- production. While both teams were partly educated in the US, the Chinese office Studio Zhu-Pei uses traditional tools like sketches, physical models and ink drawings in the context of a rich cultural history, the office of Jakob + MacFarlane uses high-end digital technology and computer augmented layers to create their projects and connect them to the site. The presentation of both approaches will be followed by an expert discussion on similarities and differences between the two design cultures in the context of architecture education and their respective social realm. More information on the exhibitions here.

Exhibition 1. April – 18. Mai 2017

Der Pekinger Architekt Zhu Pei gehört zur führenden Generation junger Architekten, die in China mit ihren substanziellen Beiträgen zur Lösung an drängenden Herausforderungen der wachsenden Urbanisierung beitragen. Die Ausstellung präsentiert die Arbeitsweise des Architekten auf der Suche nach den eigenen Wurzeln in traditionellen ästhetischen Konzepten, die er erfolgreich für die Implementierung in seine Projekte nutzt. Gezeigt werden fünf neue große Kulturbauten des Architekten, die sich zur Zeit im Bau be nden: das Yang Liping Performing Arts Centre und das neue Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst in Dali, das Shijingshan Cultural Centre in Beijing und andere. In zahlreichen Modellen, Plänen und Filmen erläutert die Ausstellungsinstallation die Bezugnahme der einzelnen Projekte auf den Ort, deren starke formale Ausdruckskraft vor dem Hintergrund expressiver Tuschepanoramen des Architekten deutlich wird.

Zhu Pei is one of the leading architects in China providing substantial solutions to urgent challenges and questions of ongoing urbanization within the country. The exhibition demonstrates the architects set off in search of his own roots within traditional aesthetic concepts, successfully adapting them for implementation in his work. On display will be his ve large cultural buildings, which are currently under construction: the Yang Liping Performing Arts Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art/Dali, the Shijingshan Cultural Center/Beijing and others. The numerous models, plans, and lms on display illustrate the speci c relationships between the projects and their surrounding environment.The buildings’ powerful formal expression is revealed in an installation against a backlit panoramic background of the architect’s striking ink drawings.

Latin America

Mobilising the Periphery #4 Focus Latin America: From Segregation to Integrated Urban Landscape

As a result of three decades of continuous population growth, today 80% of the Latin American population lives in urban areas, making it one of the most urbanised regions in the world, albeit that with dramatic variations in the degree and type of urbanisation across the region. Significant social and physical inequalities challenge urban planning and governance, and seem to be ingrained in the overriding form of peri-urban landscape that has emerged. This fourth symposium within the ANCB & Schindler collaborative research project on urban periphery explores broad-ranging urban research and practice responses to this peri-urban condition.

Termin: 29.11.2016, 19.30 Uhr
Ort: CLB Berlin, Aufbau Haus am Moritzplatz, Prinzenstraße 84.2 (Eingang von der Oranienstraße), 10969 Berlin-Kreuzberg,

Publikation EDUARD KÖGEL: GERARD BRIGDEN IN ISLAMABAD

ARCHITEKTUR FÜR EINE ISLAMISCHE MODERNE?

in Modulør 6/2016, S. 58–63.

Für die neue Hauptstadt Islamabad entwarfen eine Reihe internationaler Architekten Bauten, die das kulturelle Selbstverständnis des jungen Staates Pakistan reflektieren sollten. Allerdings arbeiteten nur sehr wenige vor Ort mit den einheimischen Experten. Der Brite Gerard Brigden arbeitete Anfang der 1960-Jahre in Islamabad und konnte wegweisende Bauten realisieren, die von der lokalen Tradition inspiriert waren und gleichzeitig die Frage der Identität mit zeitgenössischen Mitteln thematisierten.
