Xenoculture is a term coined by Iranian writer and philosopher Reza Negarestani that describes the need for embracing and exploring the unexpected, the alien. In this issue we borrow the idea and explore the realm of Architecture Xenoculture -- the work of architects and designers who detach from everything that architecture is supposed to be and look like, including preconceived forms and aesthetics, to look into new architectural and design possibilities. An architectural form that emerges from mathematical processes and new material explorations and proposes something never before seen -- an aesthetic yet to be determined. Architecture Xenoculture is the problematization of work produced by embracing the proliferation of this mist of fear. It argues for the harnessing of this aesthetic of fear towards a yet-to-be determined end – intensifying its practice towards new thresholds, those that unleash the potential of the alien in the world beyond the limited imaginary we have become anesthetized to, conjuring insecure material and behavioral manifestations of the xeno-gene and its ability to adapt, mutate, survive and fight.

Urban Prototyping Festival, held between the 8th April and 26th June 2013, will be hosting over 300 developers, architects, designers, artists and technology specialists investigating the role of digital technologies in creating smart sustainable cities.
UP London 2013 is a festival focused on Digital Innovation for a Sustainable Society. Bringing together technologists, academics, artists, governments and community groups, UP London 2013 explores how digital technologies can stimulate and sustain resilient environments, economies and communities. UP London 2013 is part of the global Urban Prototyping movement which explores how participatory design, art, and technology can improve cities. Each UP Festival uses a unique combination of events and strategies to address that city’s specific needs and circumstances, and prototype solutions for improvement. Previous festivals have been held in San Francisco and Singapore. In London in 2013, the festival focuses on sustainability and economic growth as key topics for digital cities and society. The festival engages citizens in creating digital artifacts as integral part of their cities, and connects citizen creators and their ideas with funders to jumpstart economic growth. UP London 2013 is hosted by Sustainable Society Network+, an RCUK-funded project lead by Imperial College. The Sustainable Society Network+ is releasing up to £100,000 for breakthrough ideas in the real world of digital technology and sustainability, with a focus on four core digital technologies: Internet of Things, Cloud, Mobile, Big Data/Analytics. We are gathering data that will be used to during our ‘makeathon’ and we have also lined up a series of exciting debates and art works that will expose, elaborate and allow citizens to understand these technologies in the context of the city and the impact it will have on their lives. As we ask citizens to become more reliant on decision-making made with data from sensor networks, UP London will also be holding a ‘crackathon’ in order to understand the vulnerabilities of these technologies. How can data from sensors be manipulated? Can the behavior of actuators be changed through malicious means?

Tout le mois de févrierSur les terrains extérieurs du Musée.
Les étudiants à la maîtrise en architecture de la Bartlett School of Graduate Studies (Londres, Royaume-Uni) se joignent à ceux de la maîtrise de Waterloo Architecture (Cambridge, Ontario) pour explorer les possibilités qu'offre la glace comme matériau. En cette période du Carnaval, ils s'inspirent du processus de formation de la glace pour créer des installations architecturales éphémères uniques.

MArch Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 2)
www.bartlett.ucl.ac.uk
Overview
The MArch Architecture (ARB/RIBA Pt2) is a two year
full-time Masters course which, in addition, leads to exemption from ARB/RIBA
Part Two.
The course has an international reputation and is
generally regarded as one of the leading Part 2 courses in the country.
The course encourages both a rigorous professional
approach to architecture within a highly speculative and creative context.
There is an emphasis on work being conducted at a graduate
level, with the expectation that students will, through reading and research,
define a particular area of study. The course operates through a design unit
system that stresses innovation and continually highlights the value of
propositions, their social impact and professional requirements. Design is thus
always conducted within a broad and rigorous intellectual framework provided by
the unit tutors, the culture of the school and the external expectations placed
upon it. We expect a high level of skill in design, resourceful research and
substantiated argument as well as the thoughtful application of technological
and environmental criteria.
Each design unit provides a range of design, technological
and related skills, as well as a clear and particular intellectual position
within which to conduct those skills. Each of the units thus provides a strong
identity within which the student is encouraged to develop her/his own
particular approach to the study of architecture.

Architecture workshop in Bolzano Italy 08.-12.01.2013
gira[sole:sonnen]blume
Architecture workshop in Bolzano Italy
The workshop focuses on the plot of an area right behind the old town of Bolzano, which includes some residential buildings, the primary school “Goethe”, the kindergartens “Girasole” and “Kofler”, the youth center “Vintola”, as well as the municipal registry offices.
The municipal and the province authorities have planned to situate here the middle school “von Aufschneiter”, too. Their proposal as drafted foresees getting of the only playground existing in the northern part of the old town of Bolzano.
The workshop is an initiative of 9sqm*, a collective of families living in the neighborhood. They want to express their resistance but they also claim their participation as citizens in the transformation of their city. Especially, as this project (a) aims at the transformation of public space and (b) wants to offer alternative solutions to those elaborated by the public administration.
*9sqm = 9 square meters are the minimum endowment of (equipped) green area per inhabitant according to the Ministerial Decree 1444/1968. According to the urban legislation of Alto Adige this value is only indicative.
The workshop kicks off with Marjan's keynote lecture on 08.01.2013 and ends with a panel discussion at the Museion Passage (Museum of Modern Art Bozen).

Ziele der Initiative
Die jeweiligen Preise wurden von den Trägern der Initiative „Futura – Förderpreis für junge SüdtirolerInnen im Ausland“ an die drei Preisträger überreicht: für die Athesia und die Tageszeitung Dolomiten von Cristina Ferretti, für die Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse von Präsident Gerhard Brandstätter, für die Spezialbier-Brauerei-Forst von Alexander von Egen, für die Lebensmittelkette Despar von Direktor Robert Hillebrand und für den Hoteliers- und Gastwirteverband (HGV) von Präsident Walter Meister.
Partner der „Futura – Förderpreis für junge SüdtirolerInnen im Ausland“ sind die Europäische Akademie Bozen (EURAC) und der Verein „Südstern – das Netzwerk für Südtiroler im Ausland“.
Die Initiative hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, junge Südtiroler, die sich im Ausland bzw. außerhalb der Region beruflich profilieren, weiterbilden und spezialisieren, finanziell und ideell zu unterstützen.
Die Förderpreise werden alle zwei Jahre vergeben.
