Few weeks ago, in Italy, we delivered a volume and an exhibition (MACRO-Testaccio in Rome untill 14/08/2011) titled “AREA Norway”, a monographic issue of the architecture magazine all about Oslo and Norway. Nature was the protagonist. Now, the same landscape tells stories of an incredible horrible event: a double attack to Norwegians where almost 100 people died. This was possible only due the peacefull trusting friendly Norwegian mode: never thinking about hevil and stupid actions. A Country where, in a such occasion, the Royal family and the politicians did not refrain to crying in front of the large mass of people gathering in the Oslo Cathedral to take part at the celebration for the victims.

We would like to express all our pain and nearness to Norway and to all Norwegians, with the hope they will never lose their inncence towards life and world.

The Philip Johnson Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Birch Books Conservation are proud to announce the launch of a ground-breaking publication, The Library of Philip Johnson: Selections from the Glass House. Written by Birch Cooper and Jordan Hruska, this beautifully illustrated book examines 100 titles from the architect’s Library/Study located at the Glass House site in New Canaan, Connecticut and features an introduction by Architect Robert A. M. Stern, textual analyses and 350 photographs.

Scene da un abbandono

Alianello (MT): Sabato 19 e domenica 20 marzo 2011

pic by Raniero Carloni album 2010 Aliano su Picasaweb

L’azione di allestimento-istantaneo del workshop si propone di realizzare un’esperienza di ri\conoscimento da parte degli studenti del corso del valore di alcune semplici unità di case contadine del borgo abbandonato di Alianello (MT) , stimolando gli stessi studenti ad immaginarne usi e sensi da mettere in scena partendo dai resti, dagli scarti che il caso ed il tempo hanno determinato: entrare in un luogo che, dopo tanta vita (storie di quotidiana fatica e banalità, sentimenti e violenze, nascite e morti, riso e pianti), ha conosciuto l’abbandono in un istante, senza che nessuno sia passato a mettere ordine.

Un luogo vero in quanto non musealizzato, dunque pieno di tracce.

Grete Prytz in her house in Planetveien 12, Oslo (pic by Nina Ruud)

Here is a Planetveien 12 gallery even you miss here the presence of life, for a different sequence look here.

Grete died the 25th of September 2010 at the age of 93: always working with the same energy and lively creativity! I met her the first time in 1994 and I was shocked by her beauty and cleverness: I was with Christian Norberg-Schulz who introduced me to one of the most outstanding woman I have ever met. From that visit, I have always tried to pass by her in the house she was leaving since the 1955: Planetveien 12! The house was designed by her husband Arne Korsmo (a master of  Norwegian second generation of Modern architects) between 1952 and 1955, just before he left for Trondheim, for him and her wife Grete. She spent all her life there, respecting the initial utopia of the house programme: a place for life & work. This has been Planetveien 12 until she left for ever!

aula gamma
ore 15.15

From

All’interno di etnografia domestica, progetto per un interno in cui stiamo provando a scalare il nostro metodo a un ambiente domestico e alla famiglia che lo abita, lanciamo una open call per la realizzazione di un’opera d’arte su un muro/dispositivo all’interno del progetto. Cerchiamo un’opera che sappia inserirsi nel metodo e negli spazi di etnografia domestica oltre che in un processo più lungo: al prezzo di una tinteggiatura più l’acquisto di un’opera sul mercato dell’arte, i nostri clienti (laura, federico e davide) si assicurano un programma, per cui a ogni tinteggiatura (ogni 3, 5 o altro, anni) l’opera viene sostituita con una nuova. In qualche modo un progetto di produzione e dismissione simultanea.

Ci aiuteranno a scegliere, oltre a laura federico e davide, claudio musso e fabiola naldi (esperti di arte contemporanea), emilio fantin (artista).

Re:CP come “ritorna Cedric Price”, ma anche come ”recipe” (ricetta).
In questo libro Price ha riunito alcune delle sue ‘ricette’ architettoniche preferite, tratte dall’esperienza di lavoro sui propri progetti oltre che dall’osservazione rivolta al lavoro di altri. Denso di disegni e proposte inediti sul mercato italiano, questo libro dà modo di comprendere le ragioni della profonda influenza che le idee di Cedric Price esercitano da quarant’anni sull’architettura internazionale e perché tale influenza risulti oggi più importante che mai.

Kick-off-Meeting: 9th March 2011

Musei Capitolini
Sala Pietro da Cortona
Palazzo dei Conservatori,

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.

County Archive Building (“Landsarkivet”) extension, 1971, by Bernt Nyberg: old building from 1904 by architect Carl Möller.

The archive building by Nyberg is part of a tradition of brick building that was developed and passed on by the internationally known Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerentz, creator of the churches in Björkhagen and Klippan. In Skåne (the southernmost part of Sweden) the heritage of Lewerentz has been taken over by Bernt Nyberg, Klas Anshelm and Bengt Edman.

A project, for transorming the archive into a students’ housing, is going to destroy its unbroken brick wall masonery.

Sign the PETITION to stop the distruction… and follow the work on archdaily.com

I documenti sono stati presi da: http://casaalparco.blogspot.com

A Milano la Casa Tognella, opera di Ignazio Gardella altrimenti nota come “Casa al Parco” (1946-’53) è oggetto di un intervento approvato ed ora in corso di realizzazione (si vedano le immagini allegate) che appare destinato a mutarne fortemente l’equilibrio e il significato.

I firmatari di questa petizione chiedono al Ministro per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, al Presidente della Regione Lombardia e al Sindaco del Comune di Milano se per caso non possa essere evitata questa che sembrerebbe grave indifferenza, ancora perpetrata nell’ex BelPaese, nei confronti della cultura architettonica di respiro europeo.

Se vuoi puoi firmare anche tu: link alla petizione

Further on there is also an English version of the Petition.
