BEHIND THE FORMS X SPATIAL METAPHOR Curators | Guoqing Yi, Jiaxun Xu @jiaxunxu_ Date | 09/18 - 10/20 2023 Venue | North Gallery @northgalleryscut, Building No.27, North Campus of SCUT, 381 Wushan Road, Tianhe District, Guangzhou Organizer | School of Architecture, South China University of Technology Co-Organizer | JXY Studio Part I | SPATIAL Part II | METAPHOR The exhibition presents a variety of investigative explorations that attempt to elucidate the duality of architecture from different angles. These open examples particularly focus on the broader and more diverse spatiality within architecture, taking architecture as the basis while not limited to it, generating forms while not constraining them, which attempt to propose possible methods, modes, and perspectives of thinking. Such creative explorations emphasizing spatiality without relying on materiality are aimed at unfolding the logical dimensions. #JXYStudio #culture #art #architecture #exhibition https://lnkd.in/edgJFXNk

Ever consider what architecture and building design might look like when informed by planetary boundaries? A cool little exhibit put on by the Royal Danish Academy explores how the architecture and design of the future can co-exist with a balanced planet. The focal point of the 'Planetary Boundaries – Rethinking Architecture and Design' exhibition is to perceive the world from a fresh perspective, seeking an approach to architecture and design disciplines that revolves around planetary well-being and the state of the global environment. This exhibition, which is free of charge, allows users to experience 25 selected projects which – from an academic architectural or design perspective – ponder the potential for innovative design, building materials and types of dwellings with wide-ranging aesthetics – but a tiny planetary footprint. Each of the 25 projects exhibited considers one or more of the nine planetary boundary parameters. So, if you happen to be in Copenhagen sometime before April 5th, you might want to give it a look-see!

Article by myself and Maarit Mäkelä published in the Research in Arts and Education Journal. "This practice-led research article explores how post-humanist and eco-feminist perspectives of entanglement and relationality challenge human exceptionalism as a basis for making architecture in the process of the Alusta research pavilion. Multisensory spatial experience, material circulation and more-than-human temporalities are explored through building a temporary pavilion for multispecies encounters in an urban museum setting. Reflecting on the project, an architectural space is understood as a continuous process of becoming enacted by various human and nonhuman forces instead of as a stable object with a sole human author. Architecture is reimagined as part of the web of care sustaining all life." https://lnkd.in/dq9VY64N

🧬 Ever wondered what happens when architecture meets a sci-fi dream? 🌟 Enter the Wangen Tower by ICD/ITKE and IntCDC at the University of Stuttgart. 💭 Tini Tiny Timo Thoughts: That's a pretty tower. Combining aesthetics with sustainability, it’s a win-win for modern architecture. #Architecture #Innovation #Sustainability #WangenTower #UniversityOfStuttgart #ArchDaily #DAAilyplatforms”

"If humans are imperfect beings, the architecture we make should reflect that imperfection, those details, those vestiges of irregularities that give it character and turn it into a craft." Ángel Bolaños Méndez, alumnus of the course in Architecture for Humanity, had the opportunity to interview José Selgas and Lucia Cano, founders of selgascano, architectural office based in Madrid. ✏️Read the article on the Students’ Blog: https://lnkd.in/dE7v5z_N #yac #yacademy #studentsblog

Even when the rational values of technical components are amplified by profit-driven motives, it should not be neglected how architecture extends and diverges perception, experience, expression, and imagination; even when the material forms of architectural consciousness become partially rigid and labeled, there is no need to exclude alternative, space-related creative thinking and expressive modes. #JXYStudio #culture #art #architecture #exhibition #urbanobj https://lnkd.in/grpHzpX5

Did you know that housing in Mexico is a fundamental right, enshrined in the constitution? It is therefore the responsibility of the state to ensure that every citizen has adequate and decent housing. But what exactly does “adequate” mean? Architect Tatiana Bilbao addresses this very question. She places people at the centre, integrates the social perspective into the discourse and sees the role of architecture among other things as democratising beauty. We met her and spoke to her about her work, architecture, structures in space, the symbolic dimension of light and the metropolis of Mexico City. Get to know more about her here or read the article entitled “Social Perspective” in our new magazine F_03.

Thus in the context today where the various doctrines and ideologies are gradually being dissolved and abandoned, the so-called ideal forms directed by certain commoditized and stylized design thinking are gradually emerging, potentially dominating the architectural discourse in almost the entire macro era in terms of materials and technologies. #JXYStudio #culture #art #architecture #exhibition https://lnkd.in/g_3dtgFd

In exactly one month from now, my book Nelson Goodman and Modern Architecture: A Belated Encounter, will be published by Routledge. In it, I investigate overlooked aspects of both 20th-century architecture and philosophy, and I am particularly honored that it comes with endorsements from heavyweights in architecture, art history, and philosophy, who have kindly read my work. I look forward very much to talking about the book at events in Copenhagen and Aarhus, and beyond, in the months to come. #nelsongoodman #architecturaltheory #architecturalhistory #modernarchitecture #modernism
