After Concrete: Redefining Materials and Energy in the Anthropocene

For over a hundred years, reinforced concrete has served as a paradigm of wonderous materiality: natural yet human-made, liquid yet permanent, technically specialized yet easy to use. But this myth is beginning to crack physically and conceptually.

As part of a multi-year research project, co-directed by Lucia Allais (Columbia GSAPP) and Forrest Meggers (Princeton), this event asks participants to rethink concrete historically and technically. Scholars, engineers and designers are invited to move the conversation from material dynamics to system dynamics, and from materials to energy and environment, by offering insights into sometimes obscure system processes-such as the carbonation of concrete. The goal is to situate not only concrete but all architectural materials into variously-scaled processes that are inherent in climate change, resource extraction, infrastructural development, energy policy, state planning, and ecological science and advocacy.
REGISTER TO ATTEND Free and open to the public. Virtual events hosted on Zoom Webinar do not require an account to attend, advanced registrations are encouraged. GSAPP is committed to providing universal access to all of our virtual events. Please contact Lyla Catellier via email at events@arch.columbia.edu to request accommodations. Advance notice is necessary to arrange for some accessibility needs.

// European Online Forum on Education-Oriented Design Making
4 + 5 June 2021
Bauhaus Dessau
>>registration required

What can we still learn from the Bauhaus today in light of the almost planetary challenges of designing our living environment? This is the question addressed by the Workshops for the Whole Earth, to which the Bauhaus Kooperation Berlin Dessau Weimar invites people to the Bauhaus Dessau on 4 and 5 June 2021. This European forum of design education is the starting point for a European initiative that develops building blocks for workshops of post-fossil, post-disciplinary design for schools, educational projects and universities.

The institutions working together in the Bauhaus Kooperation Berlin Dessau Weimar - the Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and the Klassik Stiftung Weimar - are more than mere places for collecting, communicating and preserving the Bauhaus heritage. For these institutions, the comprehensive material legacies of the avant-garde school are an ideal basis for contemporary education, learning and information programmes, in which making and searching, tinkering and experimenting, researching and designing intertwine.

Just as the Bauhaus responded to the challenges of industrial modernity by founding a radical educational institution for design, so today nuclei for alternative models of a socially and ecologically responsible production, fabrication and design are developing in Europe's design, art and architecture schools. The urgent change in design thinking, which no longer understands nature as an exploitable silent resource and questions design as a hegemonic Western construct, begins in educational institutions. The starting point for many programmes and initiatives in Europe that face up to design responsibility in view of the threats to our planet is often their own practice of making, of material-based shaping, the crafts: after all, this is associated with the appreciation of local resources, places of knowledge and cultural practices as well as with ethical and ecological aspects of design activity and collective production.

The Workshops for the Whole Earth forum is an invitation to discussion and to exchange between a wide variety of transcultural educational initiatives, schools, programmes and projects, which associate the legacy of the European art school reform movements with a mission for alternative forms of design education in the 21st century. While their workshops were historically incorporated in the national competition for European and global dominance in the industrial age, the material-based educational experiments, which meet in the Workshops for the whole earth and which are oriented towards local resources and methods of making for the common good, present approaches to transnational ecological cultures of making.

The event - developed together with international designers, researchers, architects and artists - is a prelude to further conversations with institutions, initiatives and stakeholders across Europe. The objective of these conversations is to have building blocks of a curriculum of Workshops for the Whole Earth, which in a way of a travelling experimental workshop will be linked up with and further developed at universities and initiatives, cultural institutions and academies all over Europe. The kick-off event in Dessau creates a platform of transcultural encounters of pluriverse post-disciplinary cultures of making and movements searching for the design of a different culture of nature. Pluriverse post-disciplinary cultures of making and movements searching for the design of a different culture of nature will meet in five workshop clusters.

OPENing HORIZONS TO the future of industrY

What is the path from ideal communities to sustainable industrial ecosystems? How are megatrends; digitalization, new technologies, urbanization, climate change and the demands of sustainable development changing industrial fabrication and design? The automated factories of the future, operating through networked connections, will be even smarter and run by robots. As buildings the factories are less often meeting places for people, as the work is increasingly carried out virtually and via networks.

Inspiring Industrial Milieu

Factory environments have always inspired art, literature and film. Which kind of environments and architecture does the industrial productions create in the future? On the other hand, what are the possibilities for reuse and regeneration of progressive historical industrial premises? How is renovation carried out following the principles of sustainable development, and for the needs of the future? And not forgetting Alvar Aalto's concern for the human scale.

Challenges and possibilities

The 15th International Alvar Aalto Symposium - Future of Industry, focuses on the current challenges of the spaces and milieus of the history, present and future manufacturing industry. The main theme will be studied from three specific viewpoints. Reliable partner: a factory building in the city, Responsible action: sustainable industrial milieus and Building identity: The role of industrial architecture in constructing community, recognizability and perceived value.

AWARD-WINNING SPEAKERS

Providing the introduction for the discussion of industrial construction, urban planning and future visions are the symposium's keynote speakers: architect Xu Tiantian (DnA_Design and Architecture, China), architect Thomas Bonde-Hansen (Gottlieb Paludan Architects, Denmark), architect, professor Ute Schneider (KCAP architects, the Netherlands, Switzerland and China), and architect Tuomas Kivinen (Virkkunen & Co, Finland). Beniamino de Liguori Carino, secretary general of the Adriano Olivetti Foundation, and architect Pippo Ciorra of the MAXXI MUSEUM will be bringing their greetings from Italy.

The future prospects of the forest industry will be discussed by Sebastián Hernández Maetschl, Manager for Building Concepts for Building Solutions and Ville Hietalahti, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Risk Management and Real Estate Finland, both at Stora Enso (Germany and Finland). Architect Charlotte Skene Catling (Skene Catling de la Peña, UK) and Adam Lowe, Professor at Columbia University (USA) and founder of the Factum Foundation (Spain) will talk about the AALTOSIILO art project, which is being realized in the former industrial area of Toppila in Oulu in a silo building designed by Alvar Aalto in 1931. The symposium moderators are architect Antti Ahlava from Aalto University and chairman of Docomomo Suomi Finland Petteri Kummala from the Finnish Museum of Architecture. More top speakers and programme details will be announced during the spring.

UNIQUE ATMOSPHERE

Symposium will be this year a hybrid event, onsite in Jyväskylä, Finland and virtual for audiences all around the world. The onsite venue will be the traditional main building of the University of Jyväskylä (Alvar Aalto 1955). The 2-day programme includes besides speeches and conversations, architectural excursions, exhibitions and various public events. Speeches will be held in English. Part of the additional programme will be in Finnish.The event is organized by the Alvar Aalto Academy together with the City of Jyväskylä and several other partners. We keep monitoring the Covid-19 recommendations and restrictions. Changes possible.

We are conscious of the heavy toll the crisis is having on humanity, and we hope that you and your loved ones are in good health. It is clear that this crisis is heavily impacting on our lives. Covid-19

Taking into account the recent advice provided by several organizations and by the advisory committee, we have decided to reschedule the Circularity in the Built Environment Conference from 22-24 September 2020 to 24-26 November 2021.

The 2nd international conference on Circularity in the Built Environment (CiBEn) aims at becoming a major point of contact between researchers, engineers and practitioners in the area of green and sustainable construction. These topics call for a multi-disciplinary approach involving various research fields and expertise.

To this extent, CiBEn intends to provide all participating actors and stakeholders with the opportunity to exchange their ideas and showcases in advance/innovative technologies and methodologies to implement circularity in the European and worldwide construction sector.

Eight main topics embracing all different aspects related to the theme of circularity in the built and environment, and sustainable construction materials will be dealt with.
Among them, CDW Recycling Technologies, Sustainable Construction Materials, Circular Design & Management, Social Circular Economy, Standard Policy and Legislation, to mention a few.

CiBEn intends to provide researchers and industry experts with the opportunity to exchange their ideas and showcases in advanced/innovative technologies and methodologies to process and valorize primary and secondary construction materials in the context of circular economy and to facilitate the transition of the construction sector to fully circular economy model.

The world is becoming increasingly urbanised. Global material use is expected to more than double by 2060, and the materials used in the building and construction sector will comprise a third of this rise. Greenhouse gas emissions will also increase because of material use.

Economic growth in construction and utilities is expected to increase by over 2,5 times between 2011 and 2060. Based on current trends, it is estimated that the total waste generated in the world will double from nearly 2 billion tonnes in 2016 to about 4 billion tonnes by 2050.

Such trends call for an urgent questioning of current ways of planning, developing and operating built environments. Present practices are often still locked into linear ways of extracting nature's resources and producing waste. It is exigent to consider alternative approaches through which mitigation and adaptation goals may be achieved simultaneously while supporting sustainable businesses. Circular approaches present viable alternatives to underpin the transition to a decarbonised world while at the same time meeting the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

SBE22 Helsinki Conference on emerging concepts for sustainable built environment presents novel concepts on inclusive and resilient cities, circular neighbourhoods, responsibly sourced materials, construction value chain and calls for new skills and new businesses. The Conference provides Special tracks for focused workshops and tackling relevant challenges.
