ASAE 09 SYMPOSIUM

David Garcia will be lecturing on the 4th of September at 17:30, at the Anual ASAE Symposium, where MAP publication will be introduced.

ASAE is an annual two-day seminar at the School of Architecture, Lund University. It celebrates the beginning of the academic year. The aim is to keep an annual ongoing discussion about international education programs and architectural education strategies. ASAE promotes encounters between different schools of architecture in Europe, America and other countries, taking into consideration the objectives of the School of Architecture in Lund: Architectural Design, Experiment and Construction.

ASAE is meant to be a public event and the ambition is to also engage local and international architects, teachers, students, politicians etc. in an open discussion about architecture and design.

The first ASAE was held in the autumn of 2003 and has since then become an ongoing autumn semester event at Lund University.

Pecha Kucha CPH 009

David Garcia Studio was invited to Pecha Kucha night in Copenhagen Denmark 2009.

Pecha Kucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham architecture), was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.

But as we all know, give a mike to a designer (especially an architect) and you’ll be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system for avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.

Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor. This is a demand that seems to be global – as Pecha Kucha Night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over 100 cities across the world. Find a location and join the conversation.

LECTURE AT LSBU OPEN SERIES - LONDON

Techné and Poïesis 
How Do You Design – OS2 Autumn 2008

Open Series’ second year is under the theme of techne and poïesis - the process of design. It explores the ontological question of design and allows reflection, criticism and exposure to relevant questions in design.

Techne is often translated as craftsmanship; it is the rational method involved in producing an object or accomplishing a goal or objective and is quintessential to architecture. Poïesis, derived from the ancient Greek term ποιέω, meaning ‘to make’, describes a verb, an action, in its purest sense. Neither technical production nor creation in the romantic sense, poïetic work reconciles thought with matter, and time and man with the world. This pair of techne and poïesis are extremes in architecture but are essential and together create a tension field which is explored through the agenda of OS2.

The series invites and encourages inspiring architects, thinkers and designers to express and debate their views through this symbiotic relationship, reflecting their own practise as well as analysing the past, capturing today and projecting upon tomorrow. This creates a crossbreed between vision, utopia and the inspiring fields in-between.

We are very proud to have Peter Cook with us to kickstart this lecture series, telling us how he views the translation from his own critical utopian design of, for instance, the plug-in city to a building endeavor such as the Kunsthaus Graz.

Techné and Poïesis
