Summary:
With a foreword by Heiner Muehlmann and the project '5 codes: space of conflict (tempel of Janus revisited, Washington D.C., 2009' by Exit Ltd. 'First we shape things, then they shape us', was Churchill's view. What kind of architecture can be said to shape? And by what means does it shape? The author's answer to this question is a surprise: through war and proximity to stress. After a tour d'horizon through Roman temples, Washington's corridors of power and Mecca's anti-panic architecture it becomes clear that architecture is anything but in the background. Instead it is situated in the hot spot of transmission dynamics and is capable of altering cultures, empires and even religions.

Artista, architetto e design, Pettena fu, alla fine degli anni sessanta, uno dei più prolifici rappresentanti dell'architettura radicale, un movimento europeo nato in Italia che mise in discussione l'identità dell'architettura come arte del costruire, mirando a ridefinire l'intera disciplina e riunendo un gran numero di personalità, da Ettore Sottsass jr. ad Alessandro Mendini, da Superstudio ad Archizoom Associati. Artista che ricorre al linguaggio dell'architettura e architetto che si appropria della logica artistica, Pettena ama passare da un campo all'altro, rifiutando qualsiasi barriera disciplinare e definendosi piuttosto "anarchitetto".

Summary:
''Utopie Radicali'' è il titolo della mostra che presenta le opere degli architetti radicali fiorentini a più di mezzo secolo di distanza dai loro esordi. Nati in un fecondo momento di crisi, in un periodo segnato, a Firenze, dalla tragica alluvione del 1966, e caratterizzato, in tutta Italia, da forti tensioni politiche e sociali ma anche da un grande rinnovamento artistico e linguistico, i lavori di Archizoom, Remo Buti, 9999, Gianni Pettena, Superstudio, UFO, Zziggurat sono oggi presenti nei principali musei del mondo. Gli scritti, i disegni e i progetti dei sette protagonisti godono infatti tuttora di una capillare diffusione, e hanno influenzato più di una generazione di architetti, storici, designer e artisti in moltissimi paesi. Questo volume offre per la prima volta la possibilità di conoscerne l’opera teorica e visiva, e, grazie a un’accurata ricostruzione del contesto in cui poté svilupparsi, restituisce uno spaccato unico e in larga parte ancora inesplorato di una capitale dell’architettura del secondo Novecento.

Summary:
The recent collaboration between Gian Piero Frassinelli – founder of the Florentine collective Superstudio – and 2A+P/A an architectural practice based in Rome – relaunched a long-established, yet generally overlooked, debate on the relationship between architecture and anthropology. Moving away from a historical or scientific perspective to embrace the point of view of the project, the exhibition Savage Architecture genealogically reconstructs the ethos of such collaboration in four episodes. The outcome is a journey through the imaginative potential of the anthropological gaze in constructing both meaning and a method for the architectural project as an alternative to the dominant belief in the economic and technological reasons.

Summary:
Rethinking strategies for rural development is a global pressing challenge. To stimulate the international discussion Aedes Architecture Forum Berlin is presenting a remarkable example from rural China. Dynamic urbanization processes shape large parts of the world and China in particular. The young population migrates to the cities, whereas many elderly people and children remain in the rural areas. While in the German hinterland railway lines are shut down and the digital infrastructure is more than inadequate, the rural exodus in China is countered with new high-speed train lines and even the most remote mountain villages are being connected by broadband coverage. But also small-scale architecture creates positive future prospects for cultural, social and economic development.
