На конкурс принимаются проекты и концептуальные материалы (книги, эссе, и т. д.), посвященные роли архитектуры и градостроительства в увеличении социального, образовательного и экономического потенциала общества. С учетом актуальных для всего человечества проблем (изменение климата, пандемия, перенаселение, социальное неравенство и пр.), нужно представить архитектуру нового формата. Лучшие работы будут представлены на выставке Aedes Architecture Forum в Берлине в январе 2021 года.
пресс-релиз:
Recent crises have evoked a growing sense of responsibility among architects, urbanists, activists, researchers together with economists worldwide, to use their knowledge to raise awareness that our way of life is losing its measures in an overwhelming quantity of expansion and rash decisions. In the wake of world-wide emergencies, such as climate change, pandemics, but also rapid growth, social inequalities, the North-South gap and migration waves, it is necessary to create a balance to increase resilience and reduce the impact of everyday urban life on resources, from the scale of the individual to an international approach. Through various formats, ANCB will investigate existing best practice examples and stimulate new visions for the built environment concerned with a better socio-economic coherence in our human habitat.
QUESTIONS
In the wake of challenges and disaster, what is necessary to preserve and who makes the decision? How can behavioural changes be brought about and by whom?
How far can resilience be strengthened with a robust social infrastructure where community members support each other?
How can diverse lessons learned from past disasters be brought together in visionary proposals to prevent further urban catastrophes?
What should change in our homes and workplaces?
Both the threat of disasters and the aftermath create insecurity amongst those affected - can the spatial design professions help to restore a sense of security?
What is their role and that of government and technology in supporting freedom and simultaneously providing security?
What would a design response be to a new economy based on exchanging goods and services?
How can planners pave the way for an ecological model including new technologies, new jobs, secure infrastructure and increased health?
Can architecture assist to give people power over their data collected through devices, tracking but also through building sensors?
CALL
With a positive outlook, the call for entries for the programme Human Scale Remeasured aims to investigate how architecture and urban planning can increase social, educational and economic potential, offering responses to urgent questions about the living conditions of humankind and the built environment. ANCB is looking for new or existing ideas, schemes, future-looking projects and experimental typologies of all scales in architecture, design and urban planning as well as economical strategies and financial models that are:
economically sound but simultaneously socially compatible and derived by principles of a (green) economy for the common good,
beneficial for a society we share as a whole,
advanced, innovative and sustainable in their use of technology, design and mobility,
wide-ranging approaches and holistic concepts that introduce new schemes for work and production, health and welfare, culture and knowledge – either in one of these sectors or in all of them.
ANCB is calling on architects, planners, designers, economists, sociologists, researchers and experts from related disciplines to submit projects or conceptual contributions (book, essay, paper etc.) using this online form. Selected contributions will be showcased in an exhibition at Aedes Architecture Forum in Berlin in January 2021. It is envisaged to complement and enrich the exhibition with a series of symposia and a publication. This is subject to funding and possible virus containment measures in place at the time.
