urban occupation : berlin

the final submission is on friday july 24, latest at 4pm 

please read careful the following instructions,

if you have any questions please send me an email asap

the submission consists of

SUBMISSION OF ONE DVD AND UPLOAD OF ONE PDF ONTO THE BLOG (maybe it includes a movie link to youtube)

SUBMISSION OF DVD IS AT THE FACHGEBIET ADIP AT 4pm, on level 6, or in the ‘briefkasten’  letterbox for fachgebiet A61 on ground floor,

(when you enter the tu building, you walk right, past the cafeteria and at the far end the left door, there are letterboxes) 

DVD INCLUDES

A_PUBLICATION OR BOOKLET

i hope that you all work with indesign for the documentation, as said earlier, photoshop is not really working for documentations!!!!

ABSOLUTELY important: submit your documentation as ‘packed’ indesign file! that means that in that file all images you used in the document will be saved in a folder in their original resolution, which is important because the pdf alone will provide really low res images.

the dimension of the publication is up to you, the format could i.e. also be a publication which consists of a number of publications, like caitlyn’s, elba’s and laure’s final presentation, but caitlyn, elba and laure will need to document and submit the process and concepts 

you might wanna have _a frontcover with image and title_a contentpage with an overview of what is where in the booklet_kind of chapters which make clear what we are looking at in the following pages, like i.e. Urban occupation action, research, early sketches, first concept, …_a separate final or first chapter on the final design proposal or project result

B_MOVIE FILES

also submit on the dvd any movie files in the best resolution you have as an original file and not downsized youtube files.

PDF BLOG SUBMISSION INCLUDES 

A PDF OF YOUR FINAL PROJECT

please upload your final project as pdf with one keyimage which shows your design.

upload onto the blog by 8 pm, friday, july 24 

submit a pdf with a low file size (max 5mb) on the blog under the new final submission category,

you of course can use the same document as your dvd submission, but concentrate primarily on the final project. the overall size will be too large. that means you might need to downsize your file, you might even need to delete some pages or quite a few pages. this is also why the use of indesign is so important, as photoshop produces too large files and you can’t downsize them afterwards.

The quasi object seems to be a third element that relates, or defines the perspective from which to read, the ‘reciprocal determination between the subject and object’.  I am unclear as to whether this quasi object could also be thought of as the noise or the filter. If the noise is the ‘entropic’ quality in a system then perhaps the quasi object can be both (noise and filter). In this model, it can create a new way to read the relationship between the subject and the object by creating the interference, or it can change what is allowed to emerge from the unchanging constant interference. The quasi object only defines the group through movement, as soon as stasis is achieved the individual is created. It seems to be acting here as both the noise (of the collective) and then the filter (when it stands comes to rest).  Cybernetics, as defined by the founder Norbert Wiener, is the control and communication in the animal and the machine, and underlying this is the idea that all control/communication systems can be described and understood using the same language and concepts.  Perhaps the noise is the just the differing element between all systems, and the varying quasi object are the markers of different systems.

The post with the written feedback to the concept presented on May 29 in the Kubus, got accidently deleted. Here the written feedback to the concepts. For most of you this won’t be in its detail not be relevant anymore, as you have moved on since than; but of course the basic and fundamental points of the critique might still be helpfull.

Project_ COLOURS

_Initial Concept

As we participate in the urban environment we carry with us visual experiences; memories.  There is a language present that visually links the city and our memory of our participation within it.  This project wants to explore what the visual language of Berlin is, and what aesthetic works throughout the city to make it identifiable.  More importantly, it reflects on how has the city created a visual emancipation, and therefore constructed its aesthetic identity.

There is a new category, called ‘kubus occupation design concepts. You will have to upload your design concepts after fridays presentation as a pdf under that category.

Today we send out the invitation to a number of guest critics for the first presentation of concepts.
dear friends and colleagues, including Sebastian Kaiser and Stefan Rosinski (both from Volksbuehne), Olga Skaba and Hartmut Flothman (both from claim), Michael Roper (Australian architect, and Guest Critic at the urban occupation : Action event), Prof Peter-Aribert Herms (Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste Stuttgart) and Birgit Klauck (ADIP/TU Berlin).

‘The Students from the international urban occupation design studio at the Architecture Design Innovation Program (ADIP) at the TU Berlin, led by Rochus Urban Hinkel with Hélène Frichot, would like to invite you to be a guest critic for the presentation of the very first concepts.
The studio brings together students from Australia, Bulgaria, France, Great Britain, Spain, Poland, Canada and Germany in an exploration of the social and political dimensions of public space through a number of ‘actions’.’
