Subject: newmedia:: Bauhaus Serve City Sydney Trimester III call for
applications
Last call for the 3. Trimester of the Bauhaus Kolleg III Serve City
>Urban Service Scapes - Personalized Service Zone<
Excursion to Sydney: June 5, through 14, 2002
Trimester program at the Bauhaus Dessau: June 19, through September 13, 2002
Application deadline: May 1, 2002
for full details: http://esther.rummage.net.au/bauhaus/participate.htm
The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation is inviting architects, social scientists,
designers, planners and artists and other designing professionals to
apply for the 3. Trimester of the Bauhaus Kolleg III Serve City. (For
more information please refer to
http://real.bauhaus-dessau.de/en/kolleg.asp .)
Serve City Sydney is the third annual program offered by the Bauhaus
Kolleg in the interdisciplinary tradition of the historic Bauhaus. The
Kolleg's statutes name two goals: to preserve and convey the historic
heritage of the Bauhaus and make it accessible to the public, and, in
view of the historic Bauhaus' ideas and approaches, to contribute to
solving the problems of design for living in today's environment (see
http://real.bauhaus-dessau.de/ ). More than just a school or a museum,
the institution is a place for design, teaching and research, focusing
on issues related to the city and to urbanity in the broadest sense of
the word.
Current Serve City participants include a photographer, an industrial
designer, a sound artist, a web developer, a philosopher, as well as
several architects and urban planners. While the majority of project
participants live and work together in Bauhaus tradition in Dessau, it
is also possible to participate remotely, as I have done and am
continuing to do. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you
require more information about participating remotely, or for general
enquiries, please contact Ute Lenssen, Project Manager,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .
[Please distribute widely.]

+++CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS+++
URBAN DRIFT - 2002
OCTOBER 16th-20th 2002
++symposium +++ nightscapes +++ urbaninterfaces
URBAN DRIFT is a network for the development of trans-cultural urban
strategies.
Over the past 3 years, URBAN DRIFT has formed part of the berlinbeta
media festival, as a symposium which offers a platform to cutting-edge
architects and designers for whom the city is a medium, and architecture
a communicative tool for new urban strategies.
++The network represented by URBAN DRIFT++
Concentrating on urban voids, gaps and residual, or peripheral zones and
public spaces, members of URBAN DRIFT act as tacticians for a
contemporary urban praxis, developing a discourse within Berlin as one
of the primary cities of flux. Our aim is to communicate architecture
and urban design to a wider audience, to extend the boundaries of
architectural discourse, and to maximise the potential of
interdisciplinary practice. We speculate on the need to point the way to
contemporary architectural practice and urban design as the steering and
managing of processes; on the need to move from formalism to flux
management.
++URBAN DRIFT 2002++
This year urban drift is a 5 day event with a rich mix of talks and
presentations by day, screenings, thematically based visuals, lectures
and sound-scapes by night, along with open offices, in which
architecture and design studios engage with the urban drift themes and
reveal innovative hybrid spaces and working methods.
++planned location++
The event is set to take place in the Umspannwerk, a 19th century power
station in Berlin-Kreuzberg, which has recently been renovated as a
location for large-scale cultural events.
++conference++
Mobile cultures and new urban strategies
The two-day conference will examine the impact of mobile
telecommunications systems and media on architecture and urban design
strategies. We will involve artists, architects, designers, theorists
and activists in mutual discourse.
CONFERENCE THEMES
++ Technical Mobility: Interaction design; the design of flows++
an examination of the impact of interactive and embedded technologies on
contemporary design processes in architecture and design in the urban
sphere.
++ Mental Mobility: Network urbanism++
an exploration of new coalitions between architects, artists, designers
and urban planners. How is the role of the architect and designer
adapting to the demands of network practice, and �flux management�, and
what tools are being employed to visualize increasingly complex,
multi-layered urban processes?
++ Mobility vs. place: Re-humanizing technology and �connective
urbanism�++
How do architects and designers recreate a sense of place and counteract
the speed of the media-driven cityscape? On urban voids, the reanimation
of residual urban spaces, and on re-engaging the public in urban design
processes.
++ Tactical mobility: effective Strategies for the redevelopment and the
repoliticisation of public spaces,
�architecture is threat management� � Mark Wigley
a discussion amongst architects and media tacticians with relation to
urban space. On �flexible response�, on intervening in and changing
perceptions of the cityscape. On architecture as a medium.
++call for papers++
We welcome abstracts and short papers for inclusion in the conference
and accompanying presentations. We also welcome relevant texts and
essays for inclusion in the planned publication and the web site
(textzone).
Please send abstracts of about 300 words � to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+++when+++ initial proposals should reach us by April 20th 2002.
++URBAN DRIFT_THE NIGHT SPACE++
The space will provide a temporary, transformational and flexible
situation for artists, architects and designers to present their
proposals and investigations within a more informal setting.
Communicating an �emotional urbanism� and drawing from the situationist
d�rive, Urban Drift�s night space will encompass�talks, readings, slide
projections, screenings and urban soundscapes.
+++themes+++urban futures � real and virtual, shopping malls and garage
settlements, the alchemy of urban narrative, urban nomadism and mobile
technologies that foster a restless, edgy urban perspective,
psychogeographies, scanning/mapping the city, displacement, and
peripheral urban zones, in short, the �inexhaustible inventory of the
streets� (Benjamin)
++CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS++
We welcome the following from urbanists ++ video works for
screening@umspannwerk, slide shows, proposals for readings,
performances, sound-pieces++
++ posters++ will form a significant part of the night-space� we welcome
polemic, statements and images dealing with the above mentioned themes.
++ Formats++
slides 35mm or larger / vhs / svhs / mini-dv / quicktime files /
cd-rom / jpeg files /
Initial proposals should reach us by e-mail by April 20th 2002
