“The design of the school begins from the thesis that there are “building-generators” of events. Such structures are often condensers of the city. Through their programs as well as their spatial qualities, they accelerate or intensify a cultural and social transformation that is already in progress….” Bernard Tschumi

“The 3rd Franzen Lecture on Architecture and the Environment, an annual invited lecture by an international figure whose work has significant implications for understanding and reconceiving the relationship between architecture and the environment, was delivered by Werner Sobek on December 2, 2009 at the Great Hall of Cooper Union in New York City.

Werner Sobek is the Mies van der Rohe Professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology and head of the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) at the University of Stuttgart, where he studied architecture and structural engineering. As successor to architect Frei Otto and engineer Joerg Schlaich, Werner Sobek is an advocate for an interdisciplinary approach to architecture and engineering both in training and professional practice.

While the ILEK specializes in the research of new materials and new concepts for lightweight and adaptive structures, Werner Sobek’s office is one of the world’s leading engineering consultancies with offices in Stuttgart, Cairo, Dubai, Frankfurt, Khartoum, Moscow, and New York. The work of Werner Sobek is defined not only by its engineering and emphasis on sustainable systems but by a rigorous application of design. Founded in 1992, the studio’s emphasis lies on lightweight load-bearing structures, high-rise buildings, transparent facade systems, and special structures in steel, glass, titanium, textiles, and wood.”
………………………………………………..
The annual Franzen Lecture on Architecture and the Environment was created in honor of long-time League trustee Ulrich Franzen. The Franzen Lecture on Archiecture and the Environment is made possible by contributions from the Riggio Foundation, Juliana Terian Gilbert, and Elise Jaffe + Jeffrey Brown.

Auditorium Oscar Niemeyer in Ravello, inaugurated at the end of January 2010 – The Video;

———————————————————-
Project Description from Oscar Niemeyer:
“Among the projects worked out these ten years, the Theater of Ravello was one of the most interested me, because it is a project abroad, one of the most beautiful cities of Italy, Ravello, on land overlooking the sea.
This was narrow and so high in relation to the ride that if the access was located beneath the theater, one of the street would see the building.
This explains my having provided access at the end of the ground, allowing visitors to walk by him toward the theater, seeing and entering the architecture. A large slab of concrete featuring wavy theater.”

“The VitraHaus is the newest addition to the architecture park that the furniture company Vitra has realized during the last decades on their company site.

One of the challenges the architects faced was to realize a building that didn’t dominate the existing architecture, especially Gehry’s Vitra Design Museum. The new building is no monolithic block. Instead, it looks like ordinary residential houses with saddle roof that have been stacked on top of each other randomly. For Herzog & de Meuron the very simple house form was an obvious choice, given the fact that Vitra is a furniture company. But the fact that the “houses” are crashed into each other, creates unexpected, intersecting spaces.

This video was shot during the press preview and shows the exterior as well as the interior of the new VitraHaus and an excerpt of Jacques Herzog discussing the VitraHaus concept.

He is Professor at the University of Alcala de Henares and the Universidad Europea de Madrid and Member of the Europan Europe Scientific Committee since 2004. Carlos Arroyo has a studio in Madrid since 1997, where he develops projects of a very varied nature. These projects have a special emphasis on sustainable development and research into new forms of housing. Examples include:

* Cortijo de las Ventajas joint-ownership housing project in Granada: a combination of 2,500 m2 of co-housing with an agribusiness cooperative, and a mixed system of renewable energy production.
* “Ecobarrio” in Toledo: 60,000 m2 of housing including other compatible uses, developed with Eleonora Guidotti and Manuel Pérez Romero, upon winning the Europan Award.
* H↔H Project: a research project to determine the real demand for new forms of housing in Spain, conducted together with Eleonora Guidotti and the sociologist Virginia Godoy.
* Involvement in different projects to develop housing for specific needs: for youth, for the elderly (with shared services), and for extended families.

His projects have won international awards and prizes such as Europan (2001), EMVS award for residential innovation and sustainability (2006), and two Belgian Open Oproep competitions (2007 and 2008). Carlos Arroyo has participated in numerous exhibitions, notably the 8th Biennale di Architettura di Venezia.

“Final chapter of the interview with Nathalie de Vries [1965-], principal of MVRDV Architects along with Winy Maas and Jacob van Rijs.
In this episode, she starts explaining her vision of capitalism and iconography and how these concepts –that usually work together- affect the architectural panorama and MVRDV’s work. She also speaks about representation codes at her practice.”

“Joshua Prince-Ramus believes that if architects re-engineer their design process, the results can be spectacular. Speaking at TEDxSMU, Dallas, he walks us through his fantastic re-creation of the local Wyly Theater as a giant “theatrical machine” that reconfigures itself at the touch of a button.”

About Joshua Prince-Ramus

“Joshua Prince-Ramus is best known as architect of the Seattle Central Library, already being hailed as a masterpiece of contemporary culture. Prince-Ramus was US Partner of Rem Koolhaas’ Office of Metropolitan Architecture before founding his own firm, REX, in 2006.”

“Final part of the interview with Michiel Riedijk [1964-], principal of Neutelings & Riedijk Architects along with Willem Jan Neutelings [1959-].
——————————————————————————————————————————————–

——————————————————————————————————————————————–
In this last chapter, he bangs his fist on the table again, claiming that architecture can’t change the world or people –“that is bullshit“- it can only make good buildings.
Michiel seems to be tired –as we do too- of naïve enthusiasm about architecture’s power or weaker definitions of the limits of profession.
Afterwards, he explains how Dutch contemporary condition has influenced his practice.”

“Interview with Dutch architect Michiel Riedijk [1964 -], principal in the Rotterdam-based office Neutelings & Riedijk Architects with Willem Jan Neutelings [1959 -].
In this first chapter, Michiel speaks about the background of his practice, which is closely related with practical approach of TU-Delft –Michiel and Willem studied there- avoiding any kind of explicit relation with OMA and its rhetoric. It seems that, nowadays, nobody wants to be related with chaos and speculation patented by Koolhaas besides this kind of architects.
Michiel also develops the three polarities that determine architect’s craft in their discourse and oeuvre: knowledge, skills and evocation. To be precise, he explains how these concepts were applied in his project for the Netherlands Institute of Sound and Vision in Hilversum.
In this second episode, there is no place for speculation, ambiguity or misunderstanding: he states that all architects should define the moral position of their practices.

Afterwards Michiel speaks about Heroic Realism – he occupied this term to define the position of his practice – and the dilemma of telling the truth or not, especially to clients.”
