SCUOLA DI ARCHITETTURA URBANISTICA INGEGNERIA DELLE COSTRUZIONI Attribuzione crediti formativi Antonella Contin Docente Responsabile (di ruolo) Docente proponente Antonella Contin Altri docenti Ed Wall, Grahame Shane, Pedro Ortiz, Giovanni Santamaria (NYIT) Titolo dell’iniziativa tipologia International Exchange Program 2016 14th -24th April 2016 “METABOLISM OF A CITY _ Post-Industrial Waterfronts New York” NYCER (LAB) IV _New York City East River IV Brooklyn Red Hook & Bronx Hunts Point Workshop/Seminario ore previste 11 Giorni periodo di svolgimento 14/24 Aprile 2016 sede di svolgimento New York Institute of Technologies - NYIT breve descrizione Introduction International Design Workshop “Metabolism of a City. NYCER (LAB) IV Edition - New York City East River," organized by the School of Architecture and Design at NYiT – New York Institute of Technology, and the ‘Laboratorio Misure e Scale” at the School of Architecture th th of Politecnico di Milano which will take place in the same school from April 14 to April 24 . The great climate change, the rapid urban development, the energy crisis and the need for a sustainable approach, are transforming the idea and the project of the city. The aims of the International Workshop and Seminar are the social and economic development of the territories, through high quality architectural and urban operations, carried out within the metropolitan entire system; creating innovative processes of integration through the establishment of public spaces and new landscapes; the fulfillment of qualitative/quantitative standards for a revival of infrastructure, including the development of new sources of renewable energy and intermodal transport, which will change the shape and the image of the urban settlements. The workshop proposes two study areas on the system of East River focused on growth and ecological urbanism: 1- Brooklyn Red Hook (post-industrial sites going through a process of gentrification); 2- Hunts Point, Bronx (resilient and transitional urban design); Contents Workshop and seminar will focus on specific practices and topics of design: -Shifting Contexts: Natural Ecosystems and Urban Ecologies; -Resilience and Transition Processes of Urban Growth; -Blue, Green and Gray infrastructures and Post-Industrial Environments; -Sustainable Growth: Consumption – Production – Reuse of Resources and Space; - Identity and Structure of Public Space between new Urban Morphologies and Building Typologies; Scuola di Architettura Urbanistica Ingegneria delle Costruzioni Via Ampére, 2 20133 Milano Tel. 02 2399 2611 Web: www.auic.polimi.it Mail: [email protected] Partita Iva 04376620151 Codice Fiscale 80057930150 -Retrofitting Strategies and New Design Tools; The key focus of this conversation is related to the shift of the perspective from the idea of Urban Design as defined model of objects in a mostly built context, towards a more articulated and performative concept of Landscape Urbanism as a system of correlated and transforming actions and reactions in an extended spatial and temporal frame, where object and field, foreground and background proactively merge. This has been introducing new paradigms, as a sort of evolution of the ones formulated by Rowe and Lynch, requiring the exploration of new methodologies that integrate the concept of architecture in terms of scale, field and process, in a renewed dimension concerning several and differently constructed environments of our post-industrial era. This has also opened to the need of understanding and managing issues not only related to the history of urban settlements and their evolution, to the rules of politics, economics, sociology and technologies but most of all, to the complex ecology of our environments: effects depending from the actions of natural phenomena, problems of pollution, space reclaiming/ reuse/ recovering, material recycling, producing lands, space consumption, and alternative processes of energy production for more sustainable growth. These elements define a new systemic and coordinated vision in approaching and developing locally and globally role, extension and values of the context, leading to a renewed complexity for Urban Design, which introduces new landscape structures, infrastructure, and eco-structures, new way of dealing with natural resources and manmade processes, within a redefined frame of relationship between public administrations, communities and private agencies, in specific and often fragile urbanized landscapes. Goals -Define new tools to read, record and analyze the complexity of current environments intended as dynamic contexts (natural/ built, historical/ geographical) and explore possible references and parameters to forecast their evolving growing or shrinking processes; -Clarify new performable methodologies to critically and selectively represent the networked set of issues across space and time frames, but simultaneously capable to recognize and value the specificity of each location and the sequence of action/reaction; -Delineate new ways to metabolically operate into the life cycle of the current environments via “substitution- transformation- maintenance,” identifying critical cores for coordinated and integrated strategies of punctual intervention, towards the definition of performative contexts; - Reformulate the several managing and administrative tools and agencies involved in the process of environmental planning: horizontally, coordinating private-semiprivate-public operators and users and vertically, integrating the different levels of political responsibilities and involvement in a short, medium and long term projections. Structure Workshop will organize several NYIT lectures on the main topics of study, according to the official program, and Open Discussion/ Seminar “Meta-Landscapes and Performative nd Contexts: Identities and Values of a New Complexity” which will take place Friday April 22 from 4:30 to 7:00 PM (t.b.c.) in the NYiT Auditorium on Broadway (t.b.c.). The Discussion involves an International group of professors, researchers, and experts within the International Exchange Agreement between the School of Architecture and Design at NYIT and the “Laboratorio Misure e Scale” of the School of Architecture at Politecnico di Milano. This is also part of the Design Workshop “NYCER (LAB) IV” which th th will take place in the same school from April 14 to April 24 . During this period students coordinated by professors from the several universities invited will take part to lectures, site visits and researches to work at their design proposals for assigned two sites along the East River – New York, as part of the Hudson River Corridor: Hunts Point- Bronx, and Red Hook- Brooklyn. Researches as well as design proposals will engage several dimensional scales (Metropolitan- region, Urban- city, Local- from neighborhood to building systems) and will relate to postindustrial landscapes and processes of urban metabolic change. -Official language of the workshop will be English. contatti sito web mail mail [email protected] tel. +3487844260 http://www.metropolitan-architecture.polimi.it/ Riservato a studenti dei seguenti Corsi di Studio: Lauree triennali L-17 L-21 L-23 Lauree magistrali LM-4 LM-48 LM-24 Firma del docente Responsabile __________________________________ Delibera della Giunta di Scuola del 2 marzo 2016 La Giunta di Scuola, vista la proposta di workshop presentata dal prof.
