THE FUTURE ARCHIVE on exhibit @ Neuer Berliner Kunstverein in Berlin

Posted on June 1st, 2012 by scostello

Posted under: Installations + Exhibitions, Press

On View:  3 June–29 July 2012

The exhibition project The Future Archive picks up on artistic research projects of the 1970s and 1980s from the environment of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS), which was founded in 1967 by György Kepes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge / USA. The groundbreaking artistic approaches of a generation of CAVS Directors and CAVS Fellows, such as György Kepes and Otto Piene, influenced by Bauhaus and postwar modernism, were ahead of their time. The Future Archive is an ongoing visionary project and shows how artists, architects, and designers in their interdisciplinary approaches adopt these historical standards and update them with new issues. The exhibition, performances, lectures, and discussions show the historical significance of the CAVS for interdisciplinary collaborations of artists today and fundamentally point out the possibilities that are opening up at research-oriented academies and universities and as a result, are consistently expanding our understanding of art.

Quotes from Smart City Expo World Congress 2011

Posted on November 11th, 2011 by Lisa LaCharité

Nader Tehrani will be a speaker On November 30, 2011 for Integrated Vision: Urban Planning . He will talk about the challenges involved in designing and transforming the city. Read more about the program here.

The economic alibis for the “Smart City” have been well-argued and even become a reality in certain global arenas. The question remains what the role of smart design is in a new context where the radical advent of specialization, globalization and media explosion has made it such that the disciplines that once maintained strict boundaries within architecture, urban design, industrial design and their allied fields can no longer claim such clear delineation; if this is perceived as a liability, architects have also potentially gained an even more strategic position in collaborative platforms that need to synthesize a complex array of information, disciplines and techniques. The future of smart cities relies on the ability to invest in formal, spatial and material speculations that have the potential to innovate. It relies in smart design.
