In this workshop,
students will study urban design in a global context, by analyzing actual case
studies in the city of Madrid (Spain). They will explore the multidimensional,
integrative and inclusive process of urban design in addition, its relation to
architecture and context. Students will research the specific challenges
encountered in the design and management of such a city as Madrid, including
the physical, environmental, socio-cultural, economic, legal and philosophical
aspects.
Masking Madrid is a critical
and experimental vision of architecture and contemporary urban society. We
propose a territorial game of Masks, an architecture about the making of
architecture.
As Hejduk in Victims,
we will project our Masks to portray an analogous city, an experimental version
of the future based on the analysis of the past and the present of the contemporary
city.
The Masks will
mobilize a repertoire of building elements drawn into an exchange between
theatrical and formal / expressive practices, throughout radicalism, detour and
digression as a critical reflection.
Masking Madrid must be
a constellation of public spheres as narratives of autonomous subjectivity. We
will seek to enact the multidisciplinary direction through which
architectonical practices and processes come most alive. We will constitute a
map of contemporary knowledge circuits were art, theory, science, culture,
ecology, and politics collides.
This International Workshop
is an area of uncertainty and reflection. This space must be built among
everyone students, teachers, institutions, guests and citizens, hundreds of
voices within a discursive dynamic system... Masking Madrid is a democratic
space for discussion.
