aggHHHHHH!
sería interesante si este bou-log (blog con feeling) sirve de plaza y foro para ideas innovadoras... de mi parte, haré lo posible por contribuir o ayudar a descubrir algunas de ellas...en cuanto a mis intereses, me gustaría saber la opinión de los miembros en cuanto a lo que se conoce como "Starchitecture" o "architectural branding". Cuando comenzé mi propia firma en 2002, la orienté a ofrecerle a mis clientes, servicios completos desde "conceptos" (no conceptuales) hasta la creación de… Continue

Public perception still forming for new symbolic structure.
Atlanta (September 2, 2008) — Georgia Tech College of Architecture Dean Alan Balfour will meet with architects and officials in Munich and Berlin to discuss the new American Embassy on Pariser Platz in Berlin.
In meetings with the Bavarian Chamber of Architects in Munich and academic peers at the American Academy in Berlin, Balfour is expected to address the development of Berlin’s Pariser Platz, a focal point of the city, before and after the collapse of the Wall. Where fires and war had ravaged the square behind the Brandenburg Gate, the new American Embassy helps symbolize the area’s proud restoration.
In addition, he will deliver a keynote lecture at an invitation-only symposium at the American Embassy in Berlin designed to discuss and substantiate public perception of the new building.
7 Balfour’s celebrated body of research and writings on cities includes Berlin: The Politics of Order: 1737–1989 (1990) and Berlin (1995), one of three in the World Cities series of books. The American Institute of Architects recognized both works with International Book Awards.
His recent return to Georgia Tech continues a distinguished international career in education. Previously, Balfour led the architecture schools of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the Architectural Association in London and Rice University in Houston.
The College of Architecture at Georgia Tech champions advancements in the arts and the built environment through academic programs in architecture, building construction, city and regional planning, doctoral studies, industrial design and music. It is a leading producer of research in each of its disciplines, and among the top three in the area of architecture.
The Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the nation's premiere research universities. Ranked among U.S. News & World Report's top 10 public universities, Georgia Tech educates more than 16,000 students every year through its Colleges of Architecture, Computing, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Management and Sciences. Tech maintains a diverse campus and is among the nation's top producers of women and African-American engineers. The Institute offers research opportunities to both undergraduate and graduate students and is home to more than 100 interdisciplinary units plus the Georgia Tech Research Institute. During the 2003-2004 academic year, Georgia Tech reached $341.9 million in new research award funding.
REM KOOLHAAS Y MICHEL
HOUELLEBECQ CARA A CARA EN BARCELONA
El célebre arquitecto entrevista al polémico escritor en el marco del simposio "La Megalópolis Europea, Turismo XXL".
El próximo 21 de julio en el CCCB (Centro de Cultura Contemporáneo de Barcelona) Rem Koolhaas, urbanista y arquitecto holandés especializado en los fenómenos urbanos de las megalópolis en la era de la globalización, y Michel Houellebecq, escritor especializado en la condición social contemporánea relacionada con la cultura del ocio, departirán sobre el futuro de las nuevas sociedades contemporáneas en la primera megalópolis europea, la costa mediterránea.
Durante la entrevista que el arquitecto mantendrá con el autor francés se tratará de profundizar en los dos fenómenos que facilitan la construcción de una megalópolis: los flujos globales como consecuencia de la popularización de las compañías de bajo coste y el crecimiento del turismo a través de Internet; y la "turistificación" de las concentraciones urbanas costeras y la reconversión de éstas en áreas de la urbanidad.
A su vez, los dos protagonistas del simposio expondrán otros aspectos importantes que ayuden a entender en toda su amplitud el desarrollo de la costa mediterránea española, como la nueva cultura del ocio urbano y su superposición con hábitos urbanos contemporáneos o el florecimiento de nuevas tribus urbanas procedentes de una sociedad del ocio que se han desarrollado en concentraciones "megalopolitanas" occidentales.
