POST - IT City


POST-IT CITY

The concept of Post-it City . Designates different cities occasional temporary occupations of public space, whether commercial, recreational, sexual or otherwise, with the common characteristic of only trace and manage their appearances and desapariciones.Al use the idea of \u200b\u200bPost-it City as the focus of this investigation attempts underline two considerations: the political potential that contains the idea itself and its effectiveness methodology for studying social and urban contexts very dispares.Los Post-it City phenomena underscore the reality of urban land as the place where so legitimate overlap different uses and situations, as opposed to increasing pressures to homogenize the public space. Faced with the ideals of the city as a place of consensus and consumption, temporary occupation of space rescue use value, reveal different requirements and needs that affect certain groups, and even encourage the creativity and imagination subjective. After the reality Post-it City, the city re-emerges as territory traversed by multiple dynamics and processes, but also by many subjects of genuine political dimension due to its lawful action intrusive, parasitic and recycling as survival strategies and imaginación.Desde another perspective, the temporary activities that infect the public space with many -architectural artifacts to allow reflection on the urban experience reconduzca his attention to the minuscule, thus correcting the arrogance of traditional architecture.

Vídeos De Milena Velba

SuperUser


During the previous semester I had the opportunity to participate in the Workshop on Structures ligthness light. Professor invited on that occasion was the Dutchman Ed Van Hinte. The Workshop was the development of (what I would call it) devices located in different regional scenarios (hypothetically located at a cross section) of the Valley of the Seventh Region of Chile.
Under the idea of \u200b\u200bthe composite or compositio, which was essentially a new material composed of different materials, establishing a process of identification and recognition of the qualities and structural behavior this (compositio) and its components; study allowed not only understand but also to derive (after a long experimental process) in a combinatorial (compositio final) fully consistent with the use or preset function.
Thus the search of material, from a functional device object must necessarily lead to a quick and easy combining production and sales (energy cost), recyclable and consistent functionality.
The issue is that on the Net I just found the 2012 book edited SuperUser Architects, where he participates Ed Van Hinte. The interesting thing (in all interesting) of the proposal is SuperUser regeneratoria conception of those residual spaces within the City agency (read these spaces in their larger entity), from other materials precisely, surplus and salvaged from old buildings. By way of a city continually rebuilds his wounds using their own stuff.

A book, website (superuse.org) and recycling the foundation was created to familiarize and connect to designers remaining materials of construction debris and trash wasted to revitalize vacant buildings and urban spaces. Production from common materials and provisions for use in small circuits, wasted corners in raw materials for new projects. Designing successfully changed attitudes appropriate this new matter, which is more demanding and contextually rich in traditional materials. 2012
Architects is a team of Dutch designers arquitetcos and interest in reducing energy costs for production, considering the problems inherent in their respective context.

WALKER EVANS CATCHES THE EYE SOCIETY MODERN RUINS BY NEO






During his career Evans captured in pictures concise, compelling and sobering all sides of a capitalist society that presents the world as a shining example of development. "Evans pointed the way contemporary art photography," says Gollonet for whom Evans images are presented without the "magic of the darkroom. Among his most famous images include a portrait of a barefoot boy in the interior of home in Morgantown. The austerity of the interior contrasts with the presence of billboards that promise comfort and happiness. Also very popular are his portraits of farmers tenants in Alabama. Portrait complaint CubaSu step Havana, with the aim of illustrating the book The Crime of Cuba, represented one of the first reports of the scheme as Gollonet, to explore and portray the corner of a city in which there are workers, vagabonds, longshoremen, prostitutes and children and homeless Cuban Family (1933) or sleeping Tramp (1933). But since 1938, Evans undertook a radical experiment in the picture and begins to work, hiding the camera under his coat, without framing control to focus on faces and gestures of subway passengers in New York. Intended to photograph people without warning, trapping the natural and showing plainly. Between 1945 and 1965, Walker Evans becomes the exclusive photographer for Fortune magazine wing pair. At this stage, Evans released important albums, one of them is, Beauties of The Common Tool (1955) composed of five photographs that shows five common tools, but isolated and expanded way, as if they were abstract sculptures. The arrival of color despite their distrust of the effectiveness of color painting in the last phase of his career, from the late fifties until his death in 1975 - becomes, surprisingly, the focus of its work and a new lens through to research their interests. In 1974, the launch of the Polaroid SX-70 will offer an artist of poor health the possibility of continuing to create, to do away with the hard work in the darkroom. In its rearward snapshots remain issues that have haunted him throughout his career. In the photographs of signs, but bright colors are new, but the fragmentation and provocative language and double meanings remain true to the iconography vital Evans. Another feature of recent years is its collector. Only at home accumulating about 9,000 postcards and other items collected and ordered vernacular. he discussed how the photograph was a form of collecting.

Games Similar To Fantage

HISAHARU Method

Ginza 4-Chome crossing
Ginza Chuo Dori


Kabukicho


Shibuya Center Town



Picture this bustling street market, empty of human life, absent of familiar sounds, smells, lights. Crumbling, overgrown, silent.

If you can wrap your head around that image, then you’ve got an idea of what Japanese artist Hisaharu Motoda conveys in his series of Neo-Ruins lithographs: exceptionally detailed, vivid representations of a futuristic, post-apocalyptic Tokyo, where humans are nowhere to be found and nature fights back in a bid to take over our concrete jungles. Compare Motoda’s rendering of Ameyoko street market in Tokyo’s Ueno district to the photograph above:



Motoda states:
“There is a Japanese saying ‘anything is impermanent’. Perhaps, I want to send a message ‘Anything is impermanent’ through my work. And, I feel beauty on such fragile things, and would like to express it in my work .”

The images certainly are beautiful, and invoke a sense of human vulnerability, reminding us of the power and resilience of the natural world.
