СПОМЕН ЗА ШЕЛИ
Проф. д-р арх. Рашел Шалом Ангелова
24.01.1930 – 15.07.2004
Рождената ти дата днес е, Шели!
Запалих свещ за твоята душа,
Която преди време се пресели
Във някоя неведома страна.
Аз помня как без повод, без причина
При тебе идвахме за разговори, на кафе…
Кога туй време отлетя, отмина,
А сякаш миналата сряда бе…
Посрещаше ни радостна и мила.
Обичахме компанията ти.
Разчитахме на мъдрост и закрила
От тебе Шели….
Колко липсваш ни!!!

The smart use of glass in sustainable buildings
The smart use of glass in sustainable buildings
Thanks to the unique properties of today’s glazing solutions, architects now have complete freedom to incorporate as much glazing as they wish in their designs, in the knowledge that glazing can help them achieve the best energy performance, minimise overall environmental impact and provide a comfortable and desirable place for occupants. The following pages present a non-exhaustive list of such buildings. Their shared feature is that they are among the most

ARQUITECTONICS , MIND , AND SOCIETY
General Call for Papers
We live in a world where architecture and planning are one of the most vigorous human activities. Thousands and thousands of square miles of territory are designed and built each day, thanks to the powerful technology applied to the three classical pillars of architecture: design, construction and dwelling.
However, research on architecture is still poorly developed and the systematization of knowledge related to architectural design activities is weak or inexistent.
ARQUITECTONICS , MIND , AND SOCIETY, will aim to fill this gap, and to stimulate experts and doctorate students working in the field. Epistemological relationships between design, building and dwelling should be analyzed by ARQUITECTONICS, and the link between social sciences, natural sciences and exact sciences analyzed by architectural knowledge, should be uncovered too.
Both aesthetic and ethic, as well as scientific aspects of that knowledge are welcomed, and the Review will encourage interdisciplinary and tran sdisciplinary perspectives that prove to be architecturally pertinent.
The aim of this Review is ambitious, but the opportunity for increasing research on architecture is today real, since a worldwide audience is waiting, and we should not deceive it.
Papers and contributions can consider the following questions:
Which is the environmental impact, social, physical and mental, of new built environments?
Which are the best ways for the analysis and understanding of the relations between mental development, social life and architecture?
How can our design forecast good practices and predict comfort and non-aggressive and non-oppressive social interactions?
Which are the research strategies, paradigms, methods and theories today that are better acquitted and are more promising in the field of the architectural activities in design, building and dwelling?
Which are the best examples of architectural design that grant to invest a research effort that is a fully and intense exercise of reflection?
Which are the best scientific ways for the understanding of the relationships between objects and subjects, past and future dimensions of culture, from an architectural viewpoint?
How and when do our educational institutions educate our children in order to know, to participate and to design better environments?
The answers to these questions can come from diverse disciplines in the field of built environment.

La Biennale di Venezia 2014
Curator: Rem Koolhaas
The President of la Biennale di Venezia, Paolo Baratta, accompanied by the curator of the 14th International Architecture Exhibition, Rem Koolhaas, met today at Ca’ Giustinian with the representatives of the 40 Countries participating in the 14th Exhibition, which will take place from 7 June to 23 November 2014 at the Giardini and at the Arsenale (Preview on 5 and 6 June) and in various other venues in Venice.
The title chosen by Rem Koolhaas for the 14th International Architecture Exhibition is:
Fundamentals
Rem Koolhaas has stated: “Fundamentals will be a Biennale about architecture, not architects. After several Biennales dedicated to the celebration of the contemporary, Fundamentals will focus on histories – on the inevitable elements of all architecture used by any architect, anywhere, anytime (the door, the floor, the ceiling etc.) and on the evolution of national architectures in the last 100 years. In three complementary manifestations – taking place in the Central Pavilion, the Arsenale, and the National Pavilions – this retrospective will generate a fresh understanding of the richness of architecture’s fundamental repertoire, apparently so exhausted today.
In 1914, it made sense to talk about a “Chinese” architecture, a “Swiss” architecture, an “Indian” architecture. One hundred years later, under the influence of wars, diverse political regimes, different states of development, national and international architectural movements, individual talents, friendships, random personal trajectories and technological developments, architectures that were once specific and local have become interchangeable and global. National identity has seemingly been sacrificed to modernity.
Having the decisive advantage of starting work a year earlier than the Biennale’s typical schedule, we hope to use this extra time to introduce a degree of coordination and coherence among the National Pavilions. Ideally, we would want the represented countries to engage a single theme – Absorbing Modernity: 1914-2014 – and to show, each in their own way, the process of the erasure of national characteristics in favour of the almost universal adoption of a single modern language in a single repertoire of typologies.
The First World War – the beginning of modern globalization – serves a starting point for the range of narratives. The transition to what seems like a universal architectural language is a more complex process than we typically recognize, involving significant encounters between cultures, technical inventions and imperceptible ways of remaining “national.” In a time of ubiquitous google research and the flattening of cultural memory, it is crucial for the future of architecture to resurrect and expose these narratives.
By telling the history of the last 100 years cumulatively, the exhibitions in the National Pavilions will generate a global overview of architecture’s evolution into a single, modern aesthetic, and at the same time uncover within globalization the survival of unique national features and mentalities that continue to exist and flourish even as international collaboration and exchange intensify…
President Paolo Baratta explained the evolution of the Architecture Biennale and consequently the choice of Rem Koolhaas:
“We are universally recognized as the most important event in the world for Architecture; we are the place where Architecture talks about itself and meets life and society at large. For this reason over the past few years our choices of curators and themes have been based on the awareness of the gap between the “spectacularization” of architecture on the one hand, and the waning capacity of society to express its demands and its needs on the other hand. The architects are called upon prevalently to create awe-inspiring buildings and the “ordinary” is going astray, towards banality if not squalor: a modernity lived bad.
At the culmination of this process we have asked Rem Koolhaas to engage himself in an original research project.
The Exhibition is also evolving in the way it is organized. Born as an “imitation” of the Art Exhibition and developed to “invite” architects to bring us their installations, just like for the Art Biennale, it is evolving into a major Exhibition-research project conducted directly by the curator (who is in fact appointed as the director of the Architecture sector of the Biennale). The countries are offered the opportunity for a better integration into this research project. The Exhibition will be enhanced by an increasing number of activities throughout its duration, with workshops and seminars that enrich it as an active-Exhibition. For this reason we have decided to anticipate the opening date to the 7th of June and to make the Exhibition last as long as the Art Exhibition (about 6 months).”
The 14 International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia will also present, as is traditional, the National Participations with their own exhibitions in the Pavilions at the Giardini and at the Arsenale, and in the historic city centre of Venice.
This edition will also include selected Collateral Events, presented by international entities and institutions, which will present their exhibitions and initiatives in Venice concurrently with the 14th Exhibition.

Rem Koolhaas
Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Biennale Architettura 2010 and Pritzker Prize in 2000, Rem Koolhaas (Rotterdam 1944) founded OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) in 1975 together with Elia and Zoe Zenghelis and Madelon Vriesendorp. At the same time as designing buildings around the world with OMA, Koolhaas works in non-architectural disciplines – politics, publishing, media, fashion and sociology – through his think tank and research unit, AMO.
After studying at the Architectural Association in London, and at Cornell and the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in the US, Koolhaas wrote Delirious New York (1978). In 1995, S,M,L,XL summarized the work of OMA in a 1,200-page book that redefined architectural publishing. Recently completed OMA buildings led by Koolhaas include the new headquarters for China Central Television (CCTV) in Beijing; a new headquarters for Rothschild Bank in London; the Wyly Theatre, Dallas; and Milstein Hall, an extension to Cornell’s college of Architecture, Art and Planning. OMA buildings currently under construction include the Taipei Performing Arts Centre; a new headquarters for G-star in Amsterdam; the Shenzhen Stock Exchange; and De Rotterdam, a mixed-use building on the river Maas.
