Foros Esarq 2016. Smiljan Radic

Posted on May 4, 2016 by admin

This coming Monday 9 May, a talk by renowned Chilean architect Smiljan Radic marks the close of #Foros2016, “Origin”, a public cycle of lectures on architecture. With the evocative title “Bestiary”, Smiljan Radic will be presenting the unique and relaxed approach to style, language and architectural method that he uses, which has positioned his work as an exponent of contemporary architecture.

For Radic, the term “bestiary” refers to a family of projects that illustrate moments which others call architecture, a premise that is the point of departure for his talk at the School of Architecture; a look at the ideas that generate his works, the effects they have on their surroundings and their relationship with the world around them. For this Chilean architect, a good building is the illustration of a momentary conviction that is capable of civilizing its surroundings.

Smiljan Radic is a member of Chile’s “golden generation”, who, along with names such as Mathias Klotz, Cecilia Puga and Alejandro Aravena, started to make a name for himself in the nineties, when Chile began to open up to the world and to democracy, with the invitation to take part in the Venice Biennale and the country’s leading role in the Congress of the International Union of Architects in Barcelona in 1996. Radic set up his practice in 1995 in Chile, after postgraduate studies at the Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia and winning the competition for Iraklio Square in Crete. In 2001, the Colegio de Arquitectos de Chile awarded him the prize to the best Chilean architect under the age of 35 for his project for the civic neighbourhood of Concepción and, in 2009, he was named honorary member of the American Institute of Architects. His work has been shown in prestigious galleries such as the Hiroshima Contemporary Art Museum and TOTO·Gallery MA in Tokyo.

Gaudi Walking Tour every Tuesday & Friday!

Posted on April 22, 2016April 22, 2016 by admin

Every Tuesday and Friday we lead a BARCELONA & GAUDI walking tour and we get reviews like that one:

“Walking with Joan was amazing!”

“We are a couple who took a tour folowing Gaudi architecture in Barcelona- But got so much more! our guide was Joan, who was knowladgable and interesting, as well as kind and communicative. along the tour we’ve asked many questions, in varied subjects- beginning with 18’th century military history, through 20′ century art and current day politics. His affection to the city and it’s wonderfull architecture, got us caught up in the modernistic magic he described so well. His attention to details, and his ability to explain it to people who have never learnt anything about architecture left us feeling allot smarter then when we started (always fun 🙂 but also we felt we spent the tour with an incredible person. It was truely a pleasure- we recommend!”

Foros Esarq 2016. Pascal Flammer

Posted on April 22, 2016 by admin

El próximo lunes 25 de abril nueva conferencia en Foros 2016 “Origen”, ciclo de conferencias organizado por la School of Architecture de UIC Barcelona, del arquitecto suizo Pascal Flammer, discípulo de Valerio Oligati, que desde que fundara en 2005 su estudio ha sido finalista del Premio Swiss Art Award que otorga el Ministerio de Cultura suizo en numerosas ocasiones, haciéndose con él en 2006.

“Equilibrio precario” es el título de la conferencia en la que Flammer expondrá la manera como en su obra se superponen el sistema, el concepto y la composición produciendo, en ocasiones, múltiples niveles de lectura; y como su trabajo se mueve en la contradicción entre simplicidad y complejidad, certeza y ambigüedad, lógica y la aparente ausencia de esta.

Fecha: Lunes, 18 de abril de 2016 – 19.00 h

Conferencia: Precarious Equilibrium

Lugar: School of Architecture de UIC Barcelona
Aula Magna – C/ Immaculada, 22, Barcelona

Idioma: English

Evento: https://www.facebook.com/events/1399146410392902/

Actividad abierta al público. Gratuita

This Monday 25 April, #Foros2016 “Origen” enters its final straight with a talk a talk by Swiss architect Pascal Flammer, a student of Valerio Oligati, who, since founding his studio in 2005, has on several occasions been a finalist in the Swiss Art Award of the Swiss Ministry of Culture, winning it in 2006. This recognition of the studio’s work was revalidated in 2014 by the Philippe Rotthier European Prize for Architecture.

“Precarious Balance” is the title of Flammer’s talk about how, in his work, system, concept and composition are superposed, in some cases producing multiple levels of interpretation, and the way his work moves in the contradiction between simplicity and complexity, certainty and ambiguity, and logic and its apparent absence. For Pascal Flammer, architecture is about proposing a way of life, where the important thing is not so much the building or the architect as the values offered by each new intervention.

After working together with the renowned Swiss architect Valerio Oligati (1998-2005), and teaching at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio, the Harvard Graduate School of Design and the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, Flammer now lectures at the ETH Zürich and, since 2005, has had his own studio.

Foros Esarq 2016. BAUKUH

Posted on April 12, 2016 by admin

El próximo 18 de abril a las 19h visitará la School of Architecture Pier Paolo Tamburelli, socio fundador de Baukuh y de la revista San Rocco, recién nominado al prestigioso Wheelwright Prize que otorga la Graduate School of Desgin de la Harvard University.

Fecha: Lunes, 18 de abril de 2016 – 19.00 h

Conferencia: Public architecture is abstract, and abstract architecture is public

Lugar: School of Architecture de UIC Barcelona, Aula Magna – C/ Immaculada, 22, Barcelona

Idioma: inglés

Join FOROS ESARQ for “Public architecture is abstract, and abstract architecture is public”: open lecture by Pier Paolo Tamburelli, founder and member of the Baukuh, the young Italian firm of architects, and San Rocco Architecture Magazine, in the framework of the #Foros2016 cycle, “Origin”.

In his lecture, Tamburelli will be talking about Baukuh’s particular vision of public architecture, by means of an analysis of one of its works: the House of Memory in Milan. This project
employs a simple spatial layout, a box that contains and presents the memory of the people of Milan by means of its façades. For Tamburelli, this exercise endorses his theory of public spaces: “architecture [is] an abstract production of the concave, a careful calculation of a desireless receptacle of others’ desires, a humble development of a technology for giving precision to the memories of others.”

Baukuh is a firm based in Milan and Genoa, founded in 2004 by Paolo Carpi, Silvia Lupi, Vittorio Pizzigoni, Giacomo Summa, Andrea Zanderigo and Pier Paolo Tamburelli. Tamburelli has been nominated for the 2016 #WheelwrightPrize, awarded by the Harvard Graduate School of Design, a platform to promote new forms of research based on cross-cultural engagement, past winners of which include foremost names such as I. M. Pei, Paul Rudolph and Eliot Noyes, as well as José Ahedo, alumni of the UIC Barcelona School of Architecture.

4 Barcelona Architecture Walks scheduled every week!

Posted on April 11, 2016 by admin

BARCELONA ARCHITECTURE WALKS offers every week Group tours around the city from 30€/person led by enthusiastic architects:

On Tuesday: BARCELONA & GAUDI

On Wednesday: BARCELONA & THE MARKET

On Thrusday: BARCELONA & THE FUTURE CITY

On Friday again: BARCELONA & GAUDI

And finally onSaturday: BARCELONA & THE SEA

Here you have the testimony of a walker who wander together 3 of our Expeditions in the same week 2 weeks ago:

“Great Tour for Anyone Interested in Architecture”

“I took the Gaudi, Future, and Sea tour. I am a fifth year architecture student from the US and the guides both made me comfortable in my understanding of the urban fabric as well as excited me enough to learn more information. The tours are guided by excellent people who are knowledgeable about almost any aspect you can think up a question for. Even beyond their knowledge of architecture, the guides know current/historical events very well.

I’d recommend this group to anyone in Barcelona but especially those interested in design, history, architecture, and going on great walks.”

BAW in The Guardian!

Posted on April 1, 2016April 1, 2016 by admin

Yesterday our Barcelona Architecture Walks were stand out at The Guardian Newspaper as one of the Top 10 Barcelona Walking Tours and the only ones focused in Architecture… What else! Here you have the issue of Richard Eilers to discover the other 9 ones aswell!

http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2016/mar/31/top-10-barcelona-walking-tours-catalonia-spain

“Top 10 Barcelona walking tours”

“Gaze at graffiti, try the city’s best food or take a tour led by architects, photographers or even the homeless … Barcelona has a guided walk for everyone”

“An architect’s view of the new Barcelona”

“A group of young architects are behind Barcelona Architecture Walks and I signed up for their Barcelona and the Future City stroll. Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes was to be the new centre of Barcelona in its 19th-century expansion but it ended up little more than a vast, unlovely traffic junction. The square is now a building site as the city authorities try to rescue this space. Guide Jordi explained some of the theories of urban planning – keeping within a beginner’s comprehension/boredom level – before we walked by some of the new buildings here, such as Encants market and the Design Museum, the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona. A fascinating glimpse into an architect’s world and the challenges of imagining a city’s future.”
