URBAN TECHNIQUE

Interioricity Athens puts emphasis on discussing the city´s urban condition, and the very architectural nature of cities having grown according to individual interests and power, rather than elaborated planning ambitions, resulting in a twofold phenomena: plannend and unplanned islands of difference within the outreaching homogeneous carpet of the Polykatoikia Apartment-house typology. InteriorCity precisely looks at the way that an entity differentiates its inside from its outside in regards to its spatial effects within itself and the larger surrounding. It divides the aspects of the interior into inner and outer, such as can be conceived in the delimitation between ring and hole. Interioricity in this way not only refers to the geometrical properties and its assembly, but aspires to taking into account the forces at play in reformulating the meaning of a political urbanity, exemplified by investigating the central district Exarchia in Athens.

Summerschools 2014, 23 June - 25 July

ALESSI MUTANTS takes place in Vienna with 2 visits to the Alessi headquarters in Crusinallo, Italy. It explores and reinvents the relationship between architecture and industrial object, focusing on a series of small-scale furniture-object studies.

IMPRINTPROCESSES is a collaboration between Urban Strategies and the Institute of Architecture´s DDPLAB in order to instruct participants to produce, calibrate, operate and hack their own 3D printers. Special attention is given to the individual printers´ behaviors. The summerschool relates experiments and their emergent physical manifestations with the material processes of the urban fabric.
