The topics cover the two areas of study included in the OIKODOMOS project: housing studies and pedagogy.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">The purpose of the forum is to engage conference participants -as well as the interested public- in a debate which will continue during the conference and also after it. The discussions will help to identify some of the most relevant topics in today's contemporary housing design and planning which can then be later studied in the learning activities of the OIKODOMOS Virtual Campus.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">Please sign in the <a

The conference will provide a forum for discussion of the latest developments in architectural pedagogy, as well as contemporary housing problems in contemporary European societies.<br /><br />The program of the conference will encompass four main types of activities:<br />key-note presentations;<br />paper and poster presentations;<br />discussion sessions (to facilitate interaction and future collaborations);<br />a hands-on session and practical information on the OIKODOMOS virtual campus.<br /><br />Alongside a face-to-face programme, the conference will have a virtual strand which will be accessible in advance and during the conference. This will build on the discussions which will have been taking place via the Virtual Spaces discussion forum, focussing in on key issues which have been raised and which will be mapped to key conference themes. Each discussion theme will be moderated by a speaker at the conference who will bring summaries to face-to-face discussion groups, which they facilitate at this event.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Call for Contribution</span><br /><br />The OIKODOMOS partnership calls for contributions on the development and applications of virtual campuses and/or the latest findings in the field of housing studies. It is anticipated that papers will fall into the topics below but other contributions are also welcomed:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Innovating and Housing: </span><span><br /> Issues addressing multiples ways to foster innovation in housing, in different ways: at the process level, seeking the participation of the different actors involved in the design, including dwellers; at the construction level, applying open systems approaches; at the design level, proposing domestic spaces which suit to current social needs; etc. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Housing and Learning: </span><br />Subject-matters within the field of housing studies developed in different pedagogic contexts: design studios in architecture and urban planning, theoretical courses and seminars, formal and informal educational settings.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Learning and Innovating:</span><br />Issues dealing with pedagogic innovation particularly through the integration of ICT technologies in education, as for example: learning design, blended learning, constructivism, virtual campuses.</span><br /><br />Papers which reflect the main conference themes will be given priority but all contributions will be considered on merit. Papers for the conference should be tailored to a 25-minute presentation timeframe. A proceedings will be published with all accepted and presented papers (one attendee necessary).<br /><br />Abstracts should include the following:<br />The full title of the paper,<br />The full names, postal addresses and e-mail addresses of all authors,<br />A summary of the paper in no more than 500 words.<br /><br />All sent documents should have pdf format and the total of the sent files should not exceed 2MB.<br />Conference language will be English.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Keynote speakers </span>(to be confirmed):<br /><br />Lucien Kroll, architect, Brussels, Belgium<br />Claudi Aguilò, architect, DATAE, Barcelona, Spain<br />Mirjana Devetakovic, Ph.D., University of Belgrade, Serbia<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Scientific Committee</span><br /><br />Viera Joklova, Faculty of Architecture, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovakia<br />Leandro Madrazo, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura La Salle, Universitat Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Spain<br />Angel Martin Cojo, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura La Salle, Universitat Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Spain<br />Hifsiye Pulhan, Eastern Mediterranean University, Famagusta, North Cyprus<br />Tomas Ooms, Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst, Department Architectuur Sint-Lucas, Brussels/Ghent, Belgium<br />Beril Ozmen Mayer, Eastern Mediterranean University, Famagusta, North Cyprus<br />Paul Riddy, University of Southhampton, United Kindgdom<br />Kris Scheerlinck, Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst, Department Architectuur Sint-Lucas, Brussels/Ghent, Belgium/ Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura La Salle, Universitat Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Spain<br />Stefano Tardini, Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, Switzerland<br />Jan Tucny, Institut d’Urbanisme IUG, Université Pierre Mendès-France, Grenoble, France<br />Johan Verbeke, Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst, Department Architectuur Sint-Lucas, Brussels/Ghent, Belgium<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Important dates:</span><br /><br />10th June - First Call<br />20th June - Second Call<br />5 September - Deadline for submissions of abstracts.<br />15 September - Feedback of Reviewers with guidelines for final submission.<br />1 October - Final papers/posters<br />27/28 October 2011 - Conference<br /><br />Please send your files for application to: oikodomos@architectuur.sintlucas.wenk.be<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Conference Fee </span><br /><br />50 Euro (participation, digital proceedings, coffee/tea and lunch)<br />100 Euro (participation, digital proceedings, coffee/tea, lunch and conference diner)<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Local organizing committee</span><br /><br />W&K, Sint-Lucas Architecture School, Brussels<br />Project website: www.oikodomos.org; Information about the project: project@oikodomos.org<br /></div>Kris Scheerlinckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03188577561727350539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6570058694733327517.post-87185116620220251962011-06-08T12:27:00.011+02:002011-06-08T22:57:19.683+02:00ISTANBUL WORKSHOP<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21BVdbad-4eFxq7lvSBiDfSh2RhxD66BvXtq5eaD4kYhPoleXpXzr_zfDd8S6uzPBuWL4d8Th3DSJYhyphenhyphenqY6snkrmLW9WMb0q0RPqEY6KPbPZWY2LilYowMYap0glttYm3IhG9vaZqqkTi/s1600/oikodomos-foto-istanbul-workshop-all-groups.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 509px; height: 195px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21BVdbad-4eFxq7lvSBiDfSh2RhxD66BvXtq5eaD4kYhPoleXpXzr_zfDd8S6uzPBuWL4d8Th3DSJYhyphenhyphenqY6snkrmLW9WMb0q0RPqEY6KPbPZWY2LilYowMYap0glttYm3IhG9vaZqqkTi/s400/oikodomos-foto-istanbul-workshop-all-groups.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615794152190924034" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Workshop participants.

The workshop was organized by the HERA Center from the Faculty of Architecture in Eastern Mediterranean University with the cooperation of the HREC in the Faculty of Architecture of Istanbul Technical University (ITU). 45 students and 14 teachers from the partner institutions, associated partners and students coming from other Schools in Europe participated in the workshop. The workshop provided the opportunity to apply knowledge previously acquired in the preparatory activities to a specific site: the Göksu area, former Ottoman suburbs, located between the Great Bosphorus Canal on the Asian side of Istanbul.<br /><br />This joint workshop is part of the learning activities designed around the theme "Proximity". Preparatory tasks were carried out first at the participating institutions and in the learning space OIKODOMOS Workspaces. The outcomes were presented by students at the beginning of the workshop.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDCvo79aETkRo3cOWQ9hFzTRSko3FdeyVJJphFMwHj_ZT0J8WgKTQcAFYO0uzk22u06UrJwDe6aK_nP7eQg9_CH_AUz_RsTTqPWWnU3KVpfafPv0Pr9fNPnTWPfzRNp2TUZcoQgSg1vEVf/s1600/figure1_color.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 499px; height: 382px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDCvo79aETkRo3cOWQ9hFzTRSko3FdeyVJJphFMwHj_ZT0J8WgKTQcAFYO0uzk22u06UrJwDe6aK_nP7eQg9_CH_AUz_RsTTqPWWnU3KVpfafPv0Pr9fNPnTWPfzRNp2TUZcoQgSg1vEVf/s320/figure1_color.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615860995128942866" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Structure of the learning activities carried out during before, during and after the Workshop.<br /><br /></span>During the workshop, students working in international teams carried out two tasks:<br /><br />1.

Further development of the workshop outcomes will continue in the partner institutions and will be evaluated by external reviewers within the OIKODOMOS Workspaces environment.<br /><br />After the workshop, the work continues in the courses and seminars at the partners institutions, and in the OIKODOMOS Workspaces, according to the following structure:Leandro Madrazohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03499547758166221415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6570058694733327517.post-15949124184898043452011-05-25T19:31:00.000+02:002011-05-25T19:36:00.253+02:00Post-Workshop: Task 19. Göksu Quarter Revisited.<span style="font-weight: bold;">Reference to the previous task</span><br /><br />The previous task (Mapping Proximity: Görku) tried to understand and disentangle the present mechanisms of growth and use of the selected site and propose some possible transformation by adding or reconfiguring housing program.<br />Using the concept of proximity, all participants read and mapped the site and its direct environment and proposed a sustainable housing project. Developing this task during the workshop week, and based on the visit and all provided information, many of the following questions were answered:<br /><br />-Can we frame the historical growth of the site, taking into account as well cultural and social factors?<br />-What accessibility does the site have? On which model of mobility do the inhabitants/visitors rely?<br />-Which are the morphological characteristics of the site? What does the figure/ground scheme look like?<br />-Which functions are located on the site and by whom and when are they used?<br />-Which type of barriers can be detected on different levels and where do they manifest themselves?<br />-Can we detect conflicts of use(rs)? Are there any underused or unused spaces?<br />-Which set of (relative)distances can de recognized on different scales?<br />- Do we recognize patterns of social cohesion on the site?<br />-What is the level of compactness of the site? Where do we recognize low dense and high dense conditions?<br />-What is the structure of the site? How does the existing housing program relate to its environment?<br />-Related to all previous questions and taking into account a given addition of housing program, which solutions/transformations do we propose?<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">New Task: the proposals revisited</span><br /><br />The outcomes of this task were most interesting and proved a critical and coherent attitude related to the site and its potentials. However, the short available time for presentation and its the format did not always allow to frame the urban proposals. The following questions, aiming at a broader reflection about proximity, remain:<br /><br />How can we relate the proposals at different levels to the concept of proximity, what is the (social) model behind the proposed interventions?<br />Can we define the proposal as a unique strategy or were reference projects used? If yes, how were they used?<br />How can we relate the proposals to a broader discourse on low or high dense landscapes and its possible (re)densification? Did we base our interventions on tactics of densification or did we only reconfigure the existing urban fabric and do we know why?<br />When did we use systematic approaches? When a structural approach? (see feedback and evaluations)<br />What is the vision behind the proposal and which strategies can be used to implement them?<br /><br />This task of Revisiting the proposed Urban Projects provides some distance of the work done and will try to frame the proposals.

Besides discussing the main theme, we defined the outcomes, the integrated learning activities and their related calendar and, last but not least, the site! Students and teachers from the OIKODOMOS partner institutions are already working on a series of shared preparatory learning activities, investigating the meanings of the concept of “Proximity”. This preparatory work will serve as starting point for the activities to be done in the Joint Workshop in Istanbul.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Outcomes of the workshop</span><br /><br />The expected outcomes of the workshop will be multiple:<br /><br />- a critical reflection on housing and proximity in the contemporary European landscape<br />- a comparative study of previously studied local areas in different European cities (Brussels, North Cyprus, Barcelona, Bratislava...) The outcomes of this first part will be explained on the first day of the workshop, to introduce and compare different experiences and to define possible methodologies for the in situ project.<br />- an in situ project: a selected area within the metropolitan area of Istanbul (Turkey). This will be the main part of the workshop activity and includes visits, input sessions and presentations from local agents.<br /><br />The work done in the Joint Workshop will later be continued at the participating institutions through the OIKODOMOS Virtual Campus platform:<br />As is the case in the previous local studies, the workshop will focus on formulating and comparing alternative design strategies that respond to the changing nature of the built environment.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Objective of the workshop</span><br /><br />The main objective of this workshop will be to analyze or rethink the status and design of the contemporary housing in densification processes taking place in European suburban landscapes. Next to existing theories and practices of the compact city as a way to preserve the natural landscape, control and limit the urban sprawl, reduce energy consume and consolidate social cohesion, reality often shows a contrasting practice of low dense landscapes conditioning an efficient and sustainable functioning of urban systems. This dual reality of the built environment –compact cities vs. low density suburban areas- will be equally considered during the workshop. This workshop focuses on the relation between the housing typology and its suburban surrounding and stimulates critical reflection about recent phenomena in an international context.<br />The workshop will start from the idea that urban space depends on models of proximity. Proxemic models affect our reading and use of space and refer to an important cultural dimension of the built environment: systems of intimate, personal, social or public distances are based on our education and cultural references. However, proximity can refer as well to the built environment itself, which will be analyzed and discussed during the workshop.<br />A critical comparison and evaluation of the different concepts and related projects will take place during the presentations and working sessions.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Integration of the workshop with Learning Activities</span><br /><br />Learning activities are a structural component of the Oikodomos pedagogic model. Each learning activity is composed of a sequence of tasks which are carried out by groups of students from the participating institutions. The objectives of the tasks can be to comment a housing concept, to map a site coherently, to define an urban strategy, design an architectural intervention or to evaluate previous outcomes to build on.<br /><br />Related to the planned workshop, the Learning Activities created are:<br /><br />Defining Proximity: In this Learning Activity, the questions is: what does proximity mean when reading or designing housing projects? What are the constituting parameters defining proximity? What is the theoretical and conceptual framework of proximity?<br /><br />Designing Proximities: Urban Context<br />Different models of proximity can be used to read a site and propose some coherent interventions. Here, various strategies will be compared and discussed.<br /><br />Designing Proximities: Social Context<br />Proximity is related to social dimensions, inherent to the built environment and its organization: from the domestic scale till the scale of the neighborhood, social concerns should be studied and discussed.<br /><br />Designing Proximities: Architectural Strategies<br />Architectural interventions or transformations define in a very precise way how people, activities or buildings relate physically, visually and socially: this learning activity focuses on the architectural implications of proximity.<br /><br />Discussing Proximities<br />A critical reflection of all previous Learning Activities will allow the use of the outcomes in later projects and will provide a coherent reading of the contemporary housing landscape.<br /><br />The work to be done during the Joint Workshop is integrated in the sequence of tasks carried out within these Learning Activities, before, during and after the workshop. This way, the preparatory work done in the Virtual Campus will serve as starting point of the Workshop, and the results of it will feed the activities to be done afterwards.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Concepts applied to the site</span><br /><br />During the workshop, we will use the following area to apply the concepts and knowledge previously acquired in the previous Learning Activities, carried out in the participating institutions.<br />The selected study area for the workshop activities is the Göksu Quarter in the Anatolian (Asian) side of the metropolis, at a further distance from the city and at the footprint of the second bridge (Fatih Bridge), which connect the two continents. The area is situated around a stream, Göksu, which flows to the Bosphorus and a recreative green park adjacent (this was a famous recreation area in Ottoman times). On the other side of this stream, there is a typical sea-side village with vernacular examples. There is castle called ‘Anadolu Hisarı’ that relates to the riverside and to the Bosphorus. This area was once a clearly suburban area; but now it has been absorbed by Metropolitan İstanbul. On the hilly sides, with the sea as a horizon of the district, new development can be observed, based on less qualitative architectural strategies. The area is problematic at this very moment but its potentials allow interesting interventions to upgrade its sustainable potential.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">(photograph by Prof. Saglamer)</span></div>Kris Scheerlinckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03188577561727350539noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6570058694733327517.post-13222342699392046472011-01-25T09:44:00.007+01:002011-03-14T10:10:18.843+01:00Housing and Proximity.

As if they were sets of rules to be decided, coded and decoded at various levels, by various agents. These systems of distances do not operate exclusively on a bigger scale: they penetrate the very domain of the dwelling itself: distances from the street to the front door, from the entrance door to the living room, the distance between the kitchen, as the heart of the dwelling, and the bedrooms, being the more intimate territories within the domestic space. Dwellings could be seen as configurations of distances, where physical distances obtain additional meaning: bigger or smaller distances can mean higher or lower possibility of contact, of sharing space. In other words, proximity also refers to a social dimension: sets of distances define the level of collective use within a project, from the scale of the domicile, to the scale of the neighborhood. </span><span style=";font-family:";color:black;" lang="ES-TRAD">Distance can become social distance. </span></p> <p class="Prrafobsico"><span style=";font-family:";color:black;" lang="ES-TRAD"> </span></p> <p class="Prrafobsico"><span style=";font-family:";color:black;" >In recent years, social distance is increasingly understood as a buffer, a safety measure: distance has become a device to guarantee separation and segregation. In this context, the following question arises: have territorial mechanisms which prioritize individual identity replaced mechanisms based on collective strategies to share space?</span></p> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Kris Scheerlinckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03188577561727350539noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6570058694733327517.post-26800037318973432382010-10-20T16:04:00.006+02:002010-10-20T17:14:09.094+02:00SEMINAR La Salle: Reflections on contemporary housing<span style="font-size:100%;">During the first semester of 2010-2011, a seminar taking place at the <a href="http://lasalle-oikodomos.blogspot.com/">School of Architecture La Salle</a>, Barcelona, will be dedicated to investigate critical issues regarding contemporary housing.
