PARACITY
WienParisBeijingDetroitinprogress
005_006_007_008
WienParisBeijingDetroitinprogress is a workshop curated by Volker Dienst [ ArchitekturinProgress ] and Nicola Borg_Pisani.
This project has as an aim the installation of international meetings of students, architects and of designers brought together in a collective project.
This project thus fits in a prospective step which opens a reflexion on a whole of stakes which characterize the current changes:
- phenomenon of metropolisation
- public Spaces
- domestic Cells/temporary architecture
- (s) Object - New media
- Transdisciplinarity
It is an International project which has as an ambition to create a platform of exchanges between students, architects and designers, the schools, the institutions and the various partners.
These various entities and the problems posed in the context of the project impose a reflexion, a design and a realization whose matrix is deeply marked by its transdisciplinarity.
Indeed, the various components of the platform are characterized by the diversity of their practices, their teaching and of their structure but also by the definition of their stakes. Schools of Design, Schools of applied Art, Schools of Architecture and Architecture Departments of universities are linked together.
Architecture and design are, in the Paracity project, defined by a convergent and a Dynamic experiment in order to try out their intrinsic conditions and their common relations. "Paracity" makes it possible to conceive Metadomestics spaces and also place of dwelling, Event structures and communicating surfaces.
Paracity proposes to create temporary interfaces in urban environment. This experiment offers the advisability of thinking and of carrying out the project since the scale of the object to that of the domestic environment and public space at the city. We must in addition insist on the characteristics of Paracity which is not simply a conceptual project but also an experiment whose objective passes by its effective realization which imposes an economic and material reality on the whole of the projects.
This experimentation is largely developed by the use of the Digital tools and new technologies.
Experimenta #1: Vienne
The School of Architecture of Paris Val de Seine, ENSCI (National School of Design), Technische Üniversitat Wien (Alsop Institute), Universität für Angewandte Kunst Wien (University of Applied arts) and Architektur in Progress conceived, realized and tried out in June 2005 on the site of Yppenplatz their proposals.
Yppenplatz is located just after the Gürtel near the station Josefstädter Strasse in theXVI district (Ottakring). It is the second place of Vienna, not in term of scale, but for its frequentation. Indeed, Yppenplatz is theTheater of the larger daily market of Vienna which extends all along Brunnengasse. The district of Ottakring is characterized by its cultural and social co-education where cohabit a Turkish community (most significant), Chinese, Serb, Croatian, ukrainian, Israelite, etc. Let us specify that for a few years, we have been able to note a Gentrification of the district of Ottakring.
It is within this framework that 4 movable Parabox, 1 Kitchen Lab, 3 shower_stage, a platform (a Bar + inflatable structure), a kugel-kino (inflatable movie screen) and a flying teppisch (Inflatable Sofa) have been realized.
These various devices work in a complementary way but can also generate independent actions.
The Parabox, the kitchen lab and the 3 shower_stage are mobile structures which were built in Paris within the ENSCI while the platform developed by Manfred Bertold, Peter Michael Schultes (TÜ WIEN) and their students was carried out in situ.
These achievements made it possible to the students to use wood composites, PMMA and polycarbonate, textiles prestressed, wood, steel, Alucobon, PVC but also to develop the electric diagrams, the installation of infra-red sensors and to try out inflatable structures.
The principal stake of Paracity is to test and "to live" in Public Place, also the projects led to Vienna are multi-purpose and "reversible". The Parabox are at the same time Playgrounds for the children, Lounges the evening and the Bedrooms with the night and also an Interactive Luminous course with the integrated sensors and fluorescents. The shower_stage are showers, dancing waters, but also Stages for videos projections and Theater Play. The kitchen Lab is a collective kitchen. The platform is a fixed structure for rest and meetings.
Throughout June, we programmed events with designers (Staudecker Iris), architects (Alles Wird Gut, Eisvögel, Feld 72, Querkraft, Map Office), Video (Denize Sozen, Markus Hafner, Coelestine Engels, etc), artists (Norbert Brunner). These proposals are specifics to the Viennese context, so new projects are today to conceive for Paris.
