Fall 2024 Course Highlight: Professor Preeti Chopra will be teaching ART HIST/ASIAN 379 "Cities of Asia" MW 2:30–3:45PM during the Fall 2024 semester. Sophomore Standing | Counts Toward Architecture Certificate | Humanities Breadth | L&S Credit. #uwmadison #uwmadisonarthistory #OnWisconsin #arthistory #citiesofasia #southasianart Enroll here: https://lnkd.in/gRG9Y_Rm Description: This semester long survey course, presents a historical overview of the built environment of the cities of Asia from antiquity to the present. Most surveys of the city focus on the West, even though the earliest neolithic settlements are found in western Asia, and the first true cities were constructed between the Tigris and Euphrates around 3500 B.C. Max Weber's work on the City was influential in drawing a contrast between Western and non-Western cities, arguing that "urban communities" and hence "true cities" were only found in the West. This course seeks does not seek to essentialize Western or non-Western cities. Instead, it seeks to explore and tease out common themes that thread through the diverse geographical regions and cultures of Asia.

On 20 of May Lyongo will join the Art & Science Lab on Bonaire. The Art & Science Lab Bonaire is a platform and space that wants to explore the collaboration between art and science. The topic will be ‘Designing with awareness of cultural context and current climatical challenges on the Island of Bonaire’. What does Bonaire’s local art and design look like? Lyongo will discuss this with other (local) artists that are part of the program. For Lyongo, design should reflect the culture of a place or island. What characterizes the Bonairean culture? What does a typical Bonairean building look like? And what makes it suitable for Bonairean users? ?? More about the program.

That book I really like (unlike the one on radical museology). Four essays on the contemporary art trends and practice - research based installation, performance exhibitions, interventions and invocation of modernist architecture. How do we look and perceive art today through the screens and permanent information noise? What has come instead of attentive and slow looking? What is the problem of contemporary spectatorship?

“The exhibition outlines three main concerns: the actual production of buildings (including actors and stakeholders, materials, and design), the question of reciprocity and possible counter-gifts, and the afterlives of gifted buildings in the sense of responsibilities and maintenance.” In the latest JAE Online Review, architectural historian, media scholar, and curator Sina Brückner-Amin provides an overview and analysis of the exhibition “The Gift” at the Architecture Museum of the TUM. Curated by Damjan Kokalevski and Lukasz Stanek, the exhibition ran from February 28 to September 8, 2024. Visit https://bit.ly/3WM0Zav to read the full review. (Image Credit: ?

The New Bedford Whaling Museum is embarking on a significant expansion of its downtown campus, enhancing its role in preserving maritime heritage. The project includes the addition of new spaces designed to enrich visitor experiences and support the museum's educational mission. These new spaces will include exhibits, interactive learning centers, and expanded galleries showcasing the rich history of maritime culture. The expansion also plans to incorporate community spaces for events and educational programs, solidifying the museum's position as a cultural cornerstone in New Bedford, MA. Jaffe Holden is providing acoustic design services in collaboration with architects MACHADO SILVETTI, with audio/video, IT, and security services provided by our teaming partner D'Agostino & Associates, LLC.

In the latest issue of PIN-UP magazine, Mariam Issoufou (chair for architecture heritage and sustainability at?ETH Zürich) and Adam Caruso (chair for architecture and construction at ETH Zürich) discuss museums. They unravel the tangle of capitalistic, colonial implications embedded in many museums’ DNA, question such institutions’ accumulative acquisition policies, and more: https://lnkd.in/dBeam-yp

Our latest book, “How can we live together?,” is now out – see link below for more info and to purchase the book. This publication documents the GHETTO exhibition, which was displayed at the Museum of Vancouver between August 23, 2023 and January 1, 2024. GHETTO originally exhibited at the European Cultural Centre (ECC) 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale and Art Gallery of Ontario (2022) before travelling to Vancouver.? ?? For the MOV exhibit, GHETTO proposed a theoretical rezoning project in Vancouver’s False Creek and sought to encourage meaningful dialogue on our collective responsibility to care for one another through the creation of inclusive cities. “How can we live together?” highlights the public input on a housing survey, which was gathered from over 15,000 visitors during the Vancouver exhibition. More info: https://lnkd.in/gWZ-X5bC Purchase: https://lnkd.in/gXBTubGW? ?? “‘The exhibit was meant to articulate to the world the potential of our CAC process and to transform it from condos into other things,’ says Henriquez. ‘But also, it was meant to generate talk about larger global issues of people in need around the world as well. And so that’s what the survey was trying to measure… to what extent are people self-interested, and to what extent are they altruistic in terms of their aspirations to help people who have less than them?’”? – excerpt from essay by Kerry Gold

? Entire repository launched at EMKP - British Museum! ?? I’m beyond excited to share the culmination of a year-long journey as the principal investigator of the project Earth under Transformation: The Endangered Material Knowledge from the Oleiras do Candel Community of Producing Ancient Ceramic Pots and Maintaining Sustainable Architectural Techniques. Now the entire repository is part of the Endangered Material Knowledge Program, British Museum, and sheds light on the invaluable expertise of the Oleiras do Candel community. For generations, they have preserved ancient techniques for making ceramic pots and implementing sustainable architectural methods deeply rooted in harmony with their natural environment. The project focuses on documenting these endangered practices to ensure their preservation while emphasizing the broader importance of sustainable craftsmanship and cultural heritage in addressing global challenges. I am immensely grateful to the British Museum, EMKP, my amazing collaborators, and especially the Oleiras do Candel community, whose generosity and wisdom made this project possible. This milestone is a testament to the power of interdisciplinary efforts to honor and protect intangible heritage. Curious to learn more? Check out the full project details in the link above, or feel free to reach out. Let’s keep exploring how traditional knowledge can inspire sustainable solutions for the future! #EMKP #Research #CulturalHeritage #Sustainability #BritishMuseum #Preservation #IntangibleHeritage https://lnkd.in/ebTxNRRB

The head or the Termination of the building is the most important element of the architecture.of an iconic building.The video shows a very interesting comparison between two generations of architecture hundred years apart. The copper dome of courthouse vs the titanium copula of the museum.

"Breathing new life into an industrial space through the adaptive reuse of a therapeutic museum. This axonometric view illustrates the seamless blend of innovative design and spatial transformation, aimed at fostering healing through art and architecture. A unique approach to adaptive reuse, where the past meets the future in a space dedicated to restoration and reflection. #AdaptiveReuse #TherapeuticMuseum #HealingThroughDesign #ArchitectureForWellness #SustainableDesign"
