Workshop + Seminar Seminar
und Workshop fanden in der Woche vom 23.Februar bis 2.März 2002
in Teheran und Isfahan statt. Diente das zweitägige Seminar einerseits
zur gegenseitigen Information der beteiligten Vortragenden beider Länder
und eines interessierten Publikums, so bot sich insbesondere den späteren
Architektur-Workshop-Teilnehmern aus ganz Iran Gelegenheit Standpunkte
der Österreichischen Redner kennen zu lernen, um sich für
eine der Arbeitsgruppen der späteren Architektur-Workshop-Leiter
zu entscheiden.
The
project "Worshop & Seminar" took place in Theran, from
February 23rd to march 2nd of the year 2002. For the first time since
the revolution of 1979 a group of foreign architects entered Iran to
have this kind of exchange. It enabled an open dialog between austrian
architects and iranian students of architecture. |
CITY CULTURES IN FOCUS Cities are conglomerations of people, power and capital, creativity and communication, where a higher concentration and more differentiation of each of these elements lead to increased vibrancy of the city. Each city, criss-crossed by travel routes and channels of infrastructure, is a complex system of residential and commercial buildings, structures with social, cultural and sacral purposes, pedestrian promenades, commercial and industrial zones, gardens and parks, as well as waste grounds, and exclusive and disreputable quarters. The individuality and diversity of these elements specifically define each city. They form the city's structural and typological skeleton, a framework that gives the freedom of a unique approach to life to each individual within the anonymity of the masses. "Each city is a living organism in itself, which develops in its own way according to distinct rules" (Isabella Marboe). Based on its history and its architectural and topographic structures the city continuously re-invents itself out of the sum of the activities of all its inhabitants, users and visitors. With every step city dwellers etch traces into this 'city image', choose their own paths and develop a system of personal co-ordinates, made up of favourite places, meeting points and locations, through which they explore their city. The resulting web of countless superimposed paths reflects both individual and social modes of behaviour, which in turn are distinct to, and create the specific culture of, each city. A close investigation of and reflection on this network is the primary aim of the inter-cultural project CITY CULTURES IN FOCUS, planned to take place in Bucharest, Ferrara, Hanover, Istanbul, Krakow, Milan and Vienna. Specifically, the following questions (project modules) are to be investigated in the project cities:

LIVING TOMORROWDue to rapid social change in Europe , many of the dwelling models that had been developed over the past two centuries now seem outdated. Well into the 20th century, residential planning was concerned primarily with the building of homes for inhabitants who, within a family structure, often lived and worked in one location for their entire lives. However, radical changes in employment (restructuring of working conditions, increasing flexibility, etc.), in social relations (changing gender roles, tendency towards growing individualisation, etc.), in demographic development (birth rate, migration, life expectancy, etc.) as well as within the family unit (single parents, one-person households, patchwork families, etc.) have led to the creation of new living arrangements in Europe . These have resulted in changing living needs which in turn require new housing forms and typologies. Despite having already been discussed for several years, satisfactory solutions to these transformations and their consequences are still rarely to be found. Moreover, the debate on how housing models and architecture can function in a globalised 21st century (in their concrete, material forms as well as in their impact on the appearance of urban conglomerates) is still in its infancy. What contribution can architecture, design, applied arts and urban planning make to contemporary housing policies that take into account these changing needs? This core question is the starting point for the planned interdisciplinary project LIVING TOMORROW (architecture, interior design, city planning etc.), which, through analysis of and reflection on various European living environments, seeks to supply initial answers to and visions for these challenges.
