EN/ Traces: Increasing Accessibility in Perceiving Architecture Workshop by Babau Bureau+EB Massimo Triches, Elisa Brusegan 2-6 July   The workshop will investigate how architecture is communicated and perceived. Designers usually make use of drawings like plans, sections, facades, etc. These materials are an universal language, but they are technical and not always totally accessible to people. This generates communication difficulties between architects and people. Over time, tracing signs on the ground is the basis of the modification of landscape. In many culture this act has become also the beginning of many games (“campanon”, tennis, soccer, bowling, etc.). This activity defines…

AL/ From Images to Objects Puntoria nga Fala Atelier 5-7 Korrik Arkitektura është e pashmangshme pa imazhe. Është një mjet për të konceptuar, studiuar dhe shfaqur projektin, një mënyrë për të përcaktuar dhe përshkruar kompleksitetin e saj spacial. Imazhi është aq i dendur sa përmbajtja e çdo teksti. Fala Atelier përpiqet të zhvillojmë gjuhën e saj të veçant të arkitekturës dhe imazheve duke modeluar teori të kompozimeve, përpiluar literaturë, ripërpunuar fjalorin e arkitekturës, përpjekur të krijoj rregullsi nga çrregullimet duke gjetur transformimin e saj. Imazhet reflektojnë arkitekturën dhe arkitektura reflekton imazhet e saj. Imazhet dhe vizatimet plotësojnë dhe kundërshtojnë njëra-tjetrën….

During 24 hours in Gjakova, (10am to 10am) we will discuss, create, and present films about places in the city which allow one to withdraw from the public gaze—however momentarily, and be alone. Not metaphorically, but actual places, outside of the home, that provide cover. These places change from day to night. Participants must explore the city by time of day. Participants will fan out across the town and make short films using their phone cameras and device-based editing tools. We will screen the results for an audience on Sunday. Interview and the presentation of facts is encouraged but not…

Digital media give new ways for architects to engage with environments, allowing us to shape our expectations of the real world. Contemporary videogames contain spaces that challenge our conceptions of cities, and twist them towards new realities. Although this compares to prior media like text or film to describe cities, virtual spaces offer the ability to act within a space under a set of established rules. Whereas architects once imagined new societies and civilisations through the drawing, perhaps they can now test these as occupiable virtual cultures. What would we choose to include in the digital realm and what would…

Taking exhibition and event design as a starting point, the aim of this workshop is to develop concepts and functional prototypes for the re- opening of the galleries of the Kosovo National Museum in February 2018. Working with a team of in-house staff and external experts, students will re-imagine the collection and propose exhibition strategies with a chance of contributing to the project until completion. The first day of the workshop will circle the question of the object in the age of digital reproduction. Each group will select a collection of artifacts from the Kosovo National Museum and find ways…

TECHNO REBEL BODIES is a 5-day workshop -directed by ‘Arquitectura Subalterna’- where will be explored in a theoretical and practical way the Rilindja space through two constructions: one ‘CARTOGRAPHY’ for unveiling aesthetics of Techno´s counterculture, and one ‘REBEL CONSTRUCTION’, to feel -in your own body- the effects of the Techno Rebels Spatiality. How is the space in a rave party? // What kinds of lights are used that work like if you were blinking? // How do specific senses get stunned because of high music volume? // How do the colour and the darkness affect to your body? // What aesthetics are linked…

Mapping Cities – Developing new languages and methods in mapping and reading urban organisms. It is important that future cities develop skills to adapt to environmental, social and economical changes. The city‘s adaptability is its intelligence and sensitiveness to react on human and spatial requirements. In order to enable sustainable growth we want to detect correlations between social conflicts, economical and structural weaknesses within the city’s organism, all of which can be reassembled and embedded into a new context. Instead of criticizing obvious weaknesses we propose to demonstrate alternate approaches, which can be derived by the method of graphical examination…
