Studerende fra Studio 2D byggede en bar til årets Northside Festival, som kan skilles ad, transporteres, lægges i depot og rejses igen.

Alle konstruktive dele er skarede og træfornaglede, og tag og barfronter er af gamle, afrensede valgplakater.

De studerende har også selv designet og installeret lys i bygningen, som er en cocktailbar 🍹

Måske fik du en drink i baren henne i Skovbrynet i weekenden?

Does solidarity have the potential to lead the way through the ecological crisis, and can solidarity be a future driver for sustainable solutions?

OPEN23 will address how architecture from a radically perspective can contribute to solutions that overrules conventional interests.

OPEN23 explores SOLIDARITY in a mix of talks, debates, readings, exhibitions and performances from five main stages: AESTHETICS, POLITICS, READINGS, EARTH AND SOLIDARITY.

I dag begynder Northside Festival, og baren ved NOVA-scenen er tegnet af adjunkt Jon Krähling Engholt Andersen, som også har bygget den i samarbejde med forskningsassistent Matthias Klith Harðarson og ni studerende fra skolen.

Den er opført i kasseret træ leveret af Vinderup Træ Industri, for Jon forsker i, hvordan vi kan bruge kasserede materialer i byggeriet fremover.

Baren er 90 kvadratmeter stor og kronet med tre træskilte med neonbogstaver.

For Jon er NorthSide et fremragende friluftslaboratorium, hvor han kan eksperimentere med arkitektur i et fleksibelt miljø og i fuld skala.

Så send ham en tanke, hvis du købe en øl i den fine bar i løbet af de næste dage.

HOMO URBANUS

Thanks to an authentic artistic perspective on architecture, @bekalemoine open new horizons to the relationship between architecture and cinema. Their recent project, Homo Urbanus, a city-matograhic odyssey, will be shown at the large screen during OPEN23 in the Auditorium.

At the UIA World Congress of Architects in July, the voices of students and young professionals is a vital part of the extensive programme. From Aarhus School of Architecture, many of our students will participate, and @mathiasmany and @helonestone are both part of the UIA Next Gen Committee, developing sessions curated by students for students and newly graduated. We are looking forward to share more about our involvement in Next Gen presentations, debates, workshops and exhibitions this summer at @uia2023cph – stay tuned!🔥

In his critical written reflection assignment ”All that could have been” from fall 2022, Adam Marcel Nielsen asks what we are demolishing and why.

In Aarhus, the number of demolition cases recieved by the municipality has gone up 55% in the last nine years, despite the urge for new accomodation to the many people moving to Aarhus, and despite the fact that, in Europe, the main source of waste is our construction industry, accounting for 36%.

Adam puts together a demolition catalogue of local cases and explores the reasons given for demolishing the buildings, and he calculates the cost to the environment.

The project also examines the material value of the buildings and the potential value.

Finally, Adam looks at a couple of cases where buildings have been transformed successfully rather than demolished, e.g. Verbiest by AgWa and halewijnkouter by Raamwerk.

” I would say that the gentle dance with the exiting requires the architect to accept an already spoken language and tap into that, and this leaves parts of the projects out of the control of the architect. This task can give a lot back both with regards to narrative and sustainability. A lot more than the ego driven architecture of newness”.

SOLIDARITY - EARTH - READINGS - AESTHETICS - POLITICS

From five festival scenes, OPEN23 looks into the environmental, aesthetic and political perspectives on Solidarity through debates, talks, exhibitions, movies and readings.

OPEN23 will address Solidarity as a fundamental and indispensable cohesion within architecture and society as a whole. We ask: Does solidarity have the potential to lead the way through the ecological crisis, and can it be a future driver for sustainable solutions?

More info and tickets via link in bio.

Thank you @statenskunstfond @dreyersfond and @realdaniadk for supporting OPEN23.

Last week, the student art society @kontur_aarch and the student magazine @kaark_magasin held a waste workshop at the school, transforming redundant everyday objects from the participants’ homes into a huge artwork.

The result will feature in the upcoming edition of KÅRK, so be sure to get your copy!

På fredag åbner den danske pavillion på årets Arkitekturbiennale i Venedig, og Arkitektskolen Aarhus er repræsenteret i kraft af lektor Katrina Wibergs og professor Tom Nielsens engagement i forskningsprojektet Kystbyers løsningsmuligheder over tid.

Pavillonens udstilling Coastal Imaginaries udforsker naturbaserede designløsninger for fremtidens kystlandskaber og giver konkrete løsninger på at leve med stigende havniveauer og stormfloder forårsaget af klimaændringer.

Kurator for Danmarks bidrag, Josephine Michau, kalder Coastal Imaginaries for ”et laboratorium for håb i en verden af viral håbløshed” med reference til den samlede biennales overordnede titel ”The Laboratory of the Future”, som er givet af hovedkurator Lesley Lokko.

Dansk Arkitektur Center er udpeget af Kulturministeriet som kommissær for det officielle danske bidrag til den 18. arkitekturbiennale i Venedig.

Bidraget er skabt i samarbejde med Realdania, Kulturministeriet og Statens Kunstfond Legat- og Projektstøtteudvalg for Arkitektur.

Årets Arkitekturbiennale i Venedig finder sted i perioden den 20. maj til den 26. november 2023.

Liveable Langenæs: @aaa_studio_1d is working with the Langenæs quarter in Aarhus this semester. The assignment is an urban transformation project on a site along Skanderborgvej. The place consists of a tower with social housing, a small shopping center, shops, small businesses, parking garages, and parking lots on ground level.

The students have been investigating and challenging which urban lifeforms we can expect and aim for in the reconfiguration of the site. Based on existing knowledge and values, how should we design our future urban spaces in order for them to support environmental, social, and, economic sustainable urban transformations?

As adjunct professor at the studio, Jan Gehl, says: ”Urban life before urban space before buildings”.
