http://www.easa011.es/workshop_cloud/ We make clouds. The aim is to explore possibilities of ambivalent conditions by producing ephemeral structures. The methodology of work will emerge through discussions, perceiving of natural phenomena of sunlight / shadow and its reflections within the city. In broader sense, this process should deal with concept of borders - their elusiveness and their distortion in shifted condition that we create and perpetually distort. The workshop is structured through three topics which refer to different types of surfaces / the city, the sea and the beach. The shadow is seen as literal (a shape), phenomenal (blur) and pragmatic (a sun shade). Working method is producing ephemeral floating structures which will create specific conditions. We expect the participants to be involved in the whole process- from developing the concept to building structures and documenting and exploring the effects. The expected outcome should be achieved on three levels: physical (objects / ephemeral structures as a tool which we will conceptualize, create and produce); perceptive (shape and its projections - shadows - through which we question the notion of borders) and theoretical (making a shift in understanding of spatial relations in architecture).

PALLETSCAPES Tutors: Pavle Stamenovic; Ivan Grcic; Olga Lazarevic (SRB) This workshop is pinpointing two main streams of contemporary architectural discourse and putting them in forceful play. On one hand there is consumer ideology, which in architecture is represented mainly by ‘starchitectural’ public building programs and on the other, rising ecological awareness in architectural practice is present thru sustainable architectural structures and programs.

Urban Stripes Workshop, Elefsina, Greece, 2007.

tutors: ana filipovic, ivan grcic, pavle stamenovic

Every city has its secret, forgotten places, which, due to negligence and urban changes, become unused and devastated.

The main concept of this workshop is to search for, and reestablish forgotten urban surroundings or to distinguish and label new ones.

We want to do large scale interventions in open space using basic graphic tool: the line. Lines and signs would guide public space users from one city ambient to another.Techniques used in this project would involve stickers and urban signs, or drawing templates and spray art, if permitted.

The nature of this workshop is temporary, and it would not permanently disturb the surroundings, neither in physical nor in esthetical way.

Our goal is to map and connect various urban spaces and to underline it’s potential.
