Aedes Architecture Forum Berlin Aedes Architecture Forum Aedes Architecture Forum Berlin Aedes Architecture Forum 3XN architects, 2010 Concept Iñaki Echeverria arquitectos, 2011 More than thirty years ago Kristin Feireiss founded the Aedes Gallery in Berlin. It was the first time that architecture was exhibited and presented as a product of thought processes. Prior to this, the general opinion had been that architecture was merely something to house ex- hibits. The Aedes Gallery introduced the phenomenon of architecture into a specific public domain, bringing urban reality into society in a new way, making it negotiable and political. This new approach to communicate contemporary architecture led to international critical acclaim. Now the Aedes Architecture Forum is one of the world-renowned institutions and cultural brands for built environment, urban planning and associ- ated fields. It has continually stimulated a critical dialogue with the public and has made a signifi- cant contribution to the global discourse regard- ing architecture and urban culture with outstand- ing exhibitions, lectures and conferences. Many significant architects and Pritzker laureates exhibited at Aedes decades before they achieved international fame, including Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Herzog & de Meuron, Kazuyo Sejima, Frank Gehry and Wang Shu. Through its approxi- mately 300 displays, publications, and as many events to date, Aedes has provided a platform for the presentation and analysis of avant-garde con- Reception at Aedes am Pfefferberg, 2010 cepts, visions and built projects. The Aedes Network Campus Berlin (ANCB), a trans- disciplinary metropolitan laboratory, is the ultimate product of this recent development.

Today all activities are concentrated at Pfefferberg. The images show exhibitions at these former venues in Berlin, where world renowned and emerging architects alternated in presenting their ar- chitectural and urban concepts. Frank O.

Aedes am Pfefferberg contains two show rooms, office premises, a café, and since 2009 the ANCB total- ling about 600sqm.

The large number of visi- tors as well as the global perception of the exhi- bitions through web communication, newsletters and related partner networks are remarkable. The national and international press also regularly cov- ers Aedes’ activities. Founder Kristin Feireiss was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Repub- lic of Germany for her dedication in the field of ar- chitecture culture. In particular for strengthening the dialogue with research and education, she re- ceived an honorary doctorate from the University of Braunschweig.

With the goal of becoming a net zero building, The Bloomberg Center, designed by the global architecture and design firm, forms the heart of the campus, bridging academia and industry while pioneering new standards in environmental sustainability through state-of- the-art design. Spearheaded by Morphosis’ Pritzker Prize-winning founder Thom Mayne and principal Ung-Joo Scott Lee, The Bloomberg Center is the intellectual nerve center of the campus, reflecting the school’s joint goals of creativity and excellence by providing academic spaces that foster collective enterprise and collaboration. “The aim of Cornell Tech to create an urban center for interdisciplinary research and innovation is very much in line with our vision at Morphosis, where we are constantly developing new ways to achieve ever-more-sustainable buildings and to spark greater connections among the people who use our buildings. With the Bloomberg Center, we’ve pushed the boundaries of current energy efficiency practices and set a new standard for building development in New York City,” said Morphosis founder and design director Thom Mayne.

  • Philip Johnson, Architecture, and the Rebellion of the Text: 1930-1934
    PHILIP JOHNSON, ARCHITECTURE, AND THE REBELLION OF THE TEXT: 1930-1934 The architect Philip Johnson, intermittently famous for provocative buildings— his modernist Glass House, 1949, and the Postmodern AT&T (now Sony) Building, 1984—will be remembered less for his architecture than for his texts. He first made a reputation as co-author (with Henry Russell Hitchcock) of the 1932 book The Interna- tional Style, which presented the European Modern Movement as a set of formal rules and documented its forms in photographs. In 1947, on the verge of a career in archi- tectural practice, Johnson authored the first full-length monograph on Mies van der Rohe. To these seminal texts in modernism’s history in America should be added a number of occasional writings and lectures on modern architecture. In addition, the exhibitions on architecture and design Johnson curated for the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), beginning with the seminal Modern Architecture in 1932, should also be considered texts, summarizing, or reducing, architectural experience through selected artifacts and carefully crafted timelines. In the course of a very long career, Johnson was under almost constant fire for de-radicalizing modernism, for reducing it to yet another value-free episode in the history of style, or even of taste. The nonagenarian Johnson himself cheerfully con- fessed to turning the avant-garde he presented to America into “just a garde” (qtd. in Somol 43). Yet in 1931 Johnson described the spirit of his campaign for modernism as “the romantic love for youth in revolt, especially in art, universal today” (Johnson, Writings 45).

A few kilometres from Philip Johnson’s Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, Sanaa has created a structure that is even more transparent and immaterial.

And not only for its arrival, like clockwork, every 730 days (every other August) as the rolling index of curatorial (much more than material, social or spatial) instincts within the world of architecture. The biennale’s importance today lies in its vital dual presence as both register and infrastructure, recording the impulses that guide not only architec- ture but also the increasingly international audienc- es created by (and so often today, nearly subservient to) contemporary architectures of display. As the title of this elegant book suggests, ‘architecture on display’ is indeed the larger cultural condition serving as context for the popular success and 30- year evolution of this remarkable event. To look past its most prosaic features as an architectural gathering measured by crowd size and exhibitor prowess, the biennale has become something much more than merely a regularly scheduled (if at times unpredictably organised) survey of architectural experimentation: it is now the key global embodiment of the curatorial bias of not only contemporary culture but also architectural life, or at least of how we imagine, represent and display that life.

  • New Trends En El Mundo
    1 NEW TRENDS EN EL MUNDO La cuarta edición del New Trends of Architecture comenzó en Patras, Grecia, Capital europea de la Cultura 2006, en Junio de ese mismo año. La inauguración fue el día 2 de Junio del 2006. New Trends of Architecture fue fundada en el 2001 por un grupo de consejeros japoneses de la cultura y los medios de comunicación, de quince estados miembros de la Unión Europea, Instituciones Culturales europeas y de la Delegación de la Comisión Europea en Japón. El objetivo es crear una plataforma que constituya una oportunidad para compartir ideas y experiencias entre Europa y Asia Pacífico, a través de exposiciones anuales y simposiums para arquitectos emergentes europeos, japoneses y de otros países del Pacífico que tendrán lugar en Japón y otras capitales europeas. El proyecto fue reconocido no solo por el mundo de la arquitectura sino también por el mundo diplomático. El antiguo director de la comisión europea, Romano Prodi y, el primer ministro de Japón, Junichiro Koizumi, mencionaron este proyecto especialmente como un programa de intercambio importante durante la cumbre euro japonesa en Julio 2002. En el año 2004, coincidiendo con la ampliación de la Unión Europea, la tercera edición de New Trends of Architecture fue presentada como una nueva iniciativa: un proyecto para las regiones de Europa y el Pacífico asiático. La exposición, acompañada de un simposium, fue organizada en Lille, Hong-Kong, Tokio, Cork, Melbourne y Anyang. En cada ciudad resultó ser una fuente de encuentros e intercambios enriquecedores. El concepto básico de este proyecto fue inspirado por la idea europea de la Capital Europea de la Cultura.
