TRANS Thinking the city, Delft Sschool of Design

Just back from the Delft School of Design where Deborah Hauptmann and Warren Neidich put together and amazing colloquium on TRANS Thinking the city, examining ways that both the brain and the city works. The Architecture faculty building famously burned down this past May, and is currently hosting a major effort in reorganizing itself.

28th Bienal Sao Paulo

Last night was the preview opening for the 28th Bienal de Sao Paulo, but we had sneaked in a few days before. The Bienal has famously run out of money this year, so it was decided to make this a central statement.
the amazingly empty 2nd floor
looking out to ivy covered treesthe statement, which was almost the only information in English.
Everything else was in Portugese, so and it became a guessing game of who did what, apart from the pieces we recognised immediately like Matt Mullican, Alan McCollum and Carsten Holler
great chairs by .... who seems to have designed have the bienal.
towers to climb up and look at the space
and stools

and the Holler slides made everybody happy

Superarchitecture

Been browsing the great "Superarchitecture" book by Dominique Rouillard

on first view it is a familiar history of the 50's-70's avant garde,
with great selection of drawings from familiar projects
like Superstudio's "Primma Citta"

But then there are real gems, like Hans Rucker's "Deux sprays geants"

9999's Arredo Urbano

Hans Hollein's "projekt fur Kopenhagen"

and fantastic Gruppo UFO "Il mostro de'll id"
