dpr-barcelona at the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2014

We’re thrilled to share some of the projects and events in which dpr-barcelona is involved at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition, la Biennale de Venezia, in Venice, Italy.

[01] Radical Pedagogies Radical Pedagogies: ACTION-REACTION-INTERACTION  explores a series of pedagogical experiments that played a crucial role in shaping architectural discourse and practice in the second half of the twentieth century. As a challenge to normative thinking, they questioned, redefined, and reshaped the postwar field of architecture. The notions of “Italian” architecture, design, pedagogy and radicality were complicated during those years by the constant circulation of people, books and concepts out of and into the country. The exhibition at Monditalia draws a new kind of cartographic network of the contested spaces of pedagogical transformation: spaces of ACTION (the radical questioning and reformulation of the discipline), REACTION (the pedagogical and political friction created by the urgency of these reformulations) and INTERACTION (the constant fluctuation of this information by the movement of ideas and people). 

RADICAL PEDAGOGIES is an ongoing multiyear collaborative research project by Beatriz Colomina with the PhD students at Princeton University School of Architecture.

For this project dpr-barcelona is developing the multiplatform publishing concept in collaboration with Anne-Sophie de Vargas as well as the Augmented Reality interactions for the exhibition.

[04] Towards a New Avant-Garde

Towards a New Avant-Garde”, is a three-part event series at the opening weekend of the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale. Tracing parallels between distinct generations, the event series seeks to understand what lessons can still be learned from the Italian architectural impulses of the 60s and 70s, and how they can be best applied by the newest generation of architects in Italy and abroad.

Lead by Superscript, the event is a collaborative effort with author and scholar Catharine Rossi and researcher and scholar Rossella Ferorelli, and the design team includes architects DEVspace and interaction designer Thibault Brevet.

César Reyes will attend to the #stayradical conversation series on June, Sunday 8th from 11am.

Big Box Rules & Network Patents. Exploring the typologies of trade, the logics that instigate them and the physical landscapes they enable. With Francisco Gonzalez, Ethel Baraona Pohl and Joseph Grima.

[06] Networked Politics Part of the Weekend Specials program for #monditalia on 6-7 September by Space Caviar, MAIO, Folder, and dpr-barcelona 

The Network Politics event is a rapid, intensive exploration of how cultures of decision-making, from formal political structures to informal collective protests, and their relation to architecture, have radically evolved in the age of the network. Given the setting of Monditalia, the NetPol weekend specifically examines the Italian context through an intensive forty-eight-hour master class.

The program will confront the changing nature of protest as both collective and individual activity—from movements such as Occupy, the Indignados and the Arab Spring to the digital activism of Wikileaks and Anonymous—in relationship to the physical space of the city. From the point of view of the mechanisms and apparatuses of control, the rise of new technological devices has diminished the importance of the physical limits that architecture could offer, and has consequently expanded the architectural conception of public space.
