Opening of the exhibition
The signs of armed conflict are the backbones which cross and could also unify Europe, signs defining what is now called the “Conflict archaeological landscape”. This book presents a rich and unique iconography and a selection of essays for the first time providing a new critical approach to the Atlantikwall, proposing its interpretation as one of the major Western military archaeological landscapes.
Contributions, among others, by: Diller & Scofidio, Guido Guidi, Luca Basso Peressut.
The current Open Call for proposals for the lobby of the MACBA Study Center in Barcelona takes place within the context of MeLa-project.
Workshop
The workshop is open to all students of POLMI (Architecture, Design, Urban Planning) enrolled in the Master level (4th & 5th year of study). And it takes place every Monday morning (9.30-12.00) from 10 OCT to end of January in ‘aula C’. Students are invited to present their portfolio during the first meeting: the workshop staff will proceed to make the selection by the end of the day.
Attending the WS (that mens arriving at the deliver of the project for the competion in group with other students) will give 4 ECTS. The same for students regularly enrolled at the Interiors course (2nd and 3rd year of BA).
During this year, three Diploma works developed within the Reseaarch Unit of Interiors at POLIMI, have been awarded with meaningfull prizes.

This work has been developed further and arrived to win the first prize in an open competition for the reuse of Cascina Mulino San Gregorio, inside Parco Lambro in Milan, for the On-Lus association CeAS. The project will therefore, in the closest future, become a real work. We will keep our eyes on the building site! For now, we can only say: CONGRATULATIONS to the two young architects!

The work deals with the phenomena of rural villages abandonement in Tuscany and the study of possible strategies for revival and rehabilitation. The work was Awarded with ‘Valle di Zeri First Prize‘ as the best study on its territory for 2011. Michela Bassanelli is now a PhD Candidate in Interiors developing a research project about ‘Conflict Heritage’.

Day 2: 110805
Brainstorming seminar in Cambridge (03-06/08/2011) chaired by Dr. Gilly Carr, Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Continuing Education and a Fellow of St Catharine’s College.
Lablog was invited to join a group of 8 Scholars discussing about possible Research schemes to investigate the Atlantikwall remains: a difensive infrastructure crossing Europe from cape North to Pireénes, lasting more than 6.000 Km with almost 12.000 buildings and schelters abandoned on the shores of Europe.
A Military Heritage where large part of WWII painfull memories are melted together with the concrete used as construction material. Socio-cultural history, architecture and landscape, conflict archaelogy, are some of the disciplines involed by a such hudge invasive presence.

National museums and galleries emerged in the context of the consolidation of the nation-state in Europe from the 18th century onwards. At the beginning of the 21st century, the intellectual underpinnings of many of these institutions are being questioned, while at the same time, new forms of interaction with the publics are formed. The purpose is to develop a new role for national museums and libraries that allows them, in an innovative way, to adequately reflect past trends and processes that are not constrained by national borders, engage the interest of new social groups and audiences, while simultaneously acting as agents of social cohesion and stability in Europe.
What should be done with a complex of such enormous proportions as the Atlantikwall (German Atlantic Wall) that stretches from the North Cape all the way to the Bay of Biscay? What meaning should be assigned to this cultural heritage? In which way can and will the Atlantikwall affect spatial planning, both on a regional and national, and on an international level? And last but not least, are there opportunities for use in recreation and tourism?
Gennaro Postiglione has been invited to partecipate as Moderator at one of the three workshops planned within the Atlantic Wall Expert Meeting in Amersfoort and Middelburg on September 2 and 3, 2010. The final speakers of the day presented a demo-version of the web site www.atlantikwallplatform.eu.

UNPLUGGED ITALY (LetteraVentidue edizioni) is a collection illustrating the works and research of eight young Italian architecture firms who, in spite of the quality of their production, have never been the object of trade publications in Italy. All the selected firms are small companies, led by architects of less than 50 years of age and comprehensively representing Italy’s geographical and cultural landscape: from Studiometrico, Studioazero/Transit and Made Associati in northern Italy to Mduarchitetti and 2A+P/A in central Italy, Fgp St.udio e Sdgr Studio in the southern Campania region, and finally the deep South with Aion in Siracusa.

Autostrada Pedemontana lombarda e i dispositivi didattico-fruitivi per la pratica di un territorio di mezzo.

È possibile costruire legami narrativi con i differenti materiali che si attraversano e che l’infrastruttura rivela e mette in luce? Il sistema dell’infrastruttura rappresenta un apparato strategico in quanto rete interscalare diffusa per guardare al territorio, sia come misura statica per le gerarchie dimensionali che propone con la sua presenza, che dinamica per la velocità del punto di vista di che la percorre.

Gli scheletri urbani e le loro posizioni periferiche diventano, contenitori dettati dall’utilizzo di una “ospitalità temporanea”.
Questo termine non deve, esclusivamente, riguardare l’idea di alloggio per artisti a breve o a lunga permanenza ma deve saper mutare per poter ospitare, a seconda degli eventi che nascono dalla metropoli milanese, diverse attività e persone. Un museo Civico e in-progress dell’Arte Contemporanea a Milano.
Gli scheletri, in questo modo, diventano possibilità già nate ma mai cresciute per soddisfare temporaneamente le lacune della città e i suoi errori.
