Баня баши джамия от History Pin – Swedish Haritage

THE LOST HISTORY OF OLD PHOTOS… Have you ever found an old photo and wondered about the people and places pictured? A new global project, History Pin, aims to tie down details about such lost fragments of history.

If you have a photo and a story to tell, upload them to the website. Using Google Maps and Street View, the picture  will appear on the site’s world map along with images of what the same place looks like today. Fascinating browsing.

Call for Papers

Symposium ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY AS [APPLIED] SCIENCE

Leuven (Belgium): 9-10 November 2011

Deadline: 15 February 2011

After graduating as an architect-engineer at the KULeuven in 1969 and the completion of a PhD on architectural education in Belgium in 1984 at the same university, Luc Verpoest took up a professorship in architectural history, 19th-20th centuries and history and theory of conservation. In different constellations, within the KULeuven Departments of Architecture and of Art History and within the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation, he taught several generations of students and developed research with a focus on the history of architectural education, architectural historiography and the history and practice of conservation in Belgium. His alumni, colleagues and friends took the initiative to organise a symposium following Luc Verpoest’s retirement on 1 October 2010.

 Contributions which deal with a variety of aspects, ranging from (1) methodological discussions and evolutions, to (2) thematic approaches, such as architectural history and its relation to other disciplines going from cultural, social, economical, political, ideological history, over urban history and the history of science to the history of pedagogy and religion, (3) the professionalization and institutionalization of the discipline as such and of (4) teaching architectural history, within the Belgian and the international context, are welcomed.

The papers of the workshop (or a selection) will, subject to peer review, be published by Leuven University Press in the KADOC-Artes series.

 Proposals for papers (max. 500 words) together with a curriculum vitae and a list of publications should be addressed by e-mail to Ellen Van Impe at ellen.vanimpe@vai.be by 15 February 2011. Replies will follow no later than 15 April 2011.

4th INTERNATIONAL ALVAR AALTO MEETING ON MODERN ARCHITECTURE

Organized by the Alvar Aalto Academy;  Jyväskylä (Finland): 27-28 August 2011

Deadline: 7 March 2011

Great insight sometimes only occurs by focusing on material practices, and practical examples can trigger feasible idealism. Our melting pot of thought in the 2011 Alvar Aalto Meeting in Finland will concentrate on design methodologies and concepts, especially related to high-rise building. A tower is an architectural object of design and organisation, but also a device for the optimisation of growth. Despite the negative associations often linked with tall buildings, there is a sustainable justification for high-rises in infill construction: this saves land, optimises large technical infrastructures, and reduces traffic. This meeting brings together practicing architects and architectural pedagogues, philosophers and art historians, sociologists and cultural theorists, and is especially targeted at architects, planners and designers interested in the relationships between theory, development and practice.

The meeting is chaired by Dr., architect Antti Ahlava, principal at helsinkizurich and adjunct professor at Aalto University, Finland. Invited speakers include the following distinguished architects: Eva Castro (Partner at Plasma Studio, GB); Reinier de Graaf (Partner at OMA and director of AMO, NL); Steffen Lehmann (Director of s lab and the Zero Waste SA Research Centre for Sustainable Design and Behaviour, AU); Panu Lehtovuori

(Professor at Estonian Academy of Arts, FI); Patrick Schumacher (Partner at Zaha Hadid Architects and the co-director AA Design Research Lab, GB); Anne Stenros (Vice president at Kone Ltd, FI); Zhiqiang Wu (Professor at Tongji University, PRC).

 The venue is the main auditorium in the University of Jyväskylä main building, which, together with the campus area, was designed by Alvar Aalto. A joint trip from Helsinki to Jyväskylä will be arranged for all speakers (lecturers and paper presenters). One leg of the journey will be a cruise on Lake Päijänne. The two-way coach trip/cruise between Helsinki and Jyväskylä is free for those invited. The cruise will end in Muuratsalo, the location of Aalto’s summer home, the Experimental House. During the event, a visit will be arranged to the Säynätsalo Town Hall and, on the return trip from Jyväskylä to Helsinki, to Villa Kokkonen, both designed by Alvar Aalto.

 Call for papers to one of the themes:

Theme 1 | R&D

Research and development is a concept rarely used in architecture.

Theme 2 | SHUFFLE

Beyond construction, biological, and economical sustainability, there is the sustainability of densification and optimization.

Theme 3 | TOWER

This theme considers towers as architectural objects of design and organisation.

Planning:

Monday 7 March 2011: Deadline for abstracts of 250 words by email to merja.h.vainio@alvaraalto.fi

Monday 21 March 2011: Notification of acceptance of abstract; paper format guidelines will be sent with the notification. Invitation for full draft papers

Monday 9 May 2011: Deadline for draft papers

Tuesday 14 June 2011: Final deadline for completed and accepted papers, by email to merja.h.vainio@alvaraalto.fi
