Art der Umsetzung How was it implemented? Warum Material Ziegel? Why brick as building material? Etwaige geografische Schwierigkeiten Any geographical difficulties Bautechnische Besonderheiten Construction characteristics Design task - In 2001 Maria Grazia Cutuli, a prominent Italian journalist correspondent for the Milan-based daily Corriere della Sera, was murdered by a group of gunmen who ambushed her convoy in Afghanistan. After this tragic event, her family established the Maria Grazia Cutuli Foundation that aims to support programs on the fields of education and social promotion, for children and women, in those countries devastated by war or natural calamities, especially in Afghanistan. The beauty of the landscape, described in Maria Grazia’s articles, gave us initial suggestions for developing the concept . The school stands on a dry landscape, 12km from Heart, characterized by the brown colour of the soil and the intense blue of the sky. Few constructions come out from this flat and dusty territory, as enclosed islands surrounded by border walls. The northern skyline is defined by the dark Hindu Kush mountains. Wienerberger AG, A-1100 Wien, Wienerberg City, Wienerbergstraße 11 T +43 (1) 60 192-0, F +43(1) 60 192-10425 | www.brick14.com | www.wienerberger.com Wienerberger Brick Award 2014 The first challenge has been the research of a layout able to match functional needs and evocative spaces to achieve an innovative educational space as an alternative to those models related to the after-war reconstruction emergencies. The building is made up of a boundary line formed by a seemingly random arrangement of linked modules containing eight classrooms (30 pupils each), the connection corridors, the secretary’s office, staff rooms and the caretaker’s house. The only two-floors volume is the library, which acts as a symbolic landmark for the village: it shows there is a place for learning both for girls and boys, for local defiance of age-old history of conflicts, for an attempt of a semblance of democracy. A place for peace here now. The border walls, which were required for security reasons, define, together with the boxes, a complex sequence of voids and built volumes. Both external and internal spaces give shape to the educational environment. There are small and intimate outdoor areas between the classrooms where kids can stay, play and relax under the shadow of about fifty trees. The main courtyard, embraced by the building represents the most relational space of the school. Almost embraced by the buildings all around, the main courtyard represents the most relational space of the school. Inside the school area and protected by the walls, there are also different vegetable gardens as a natural extension of the classrooms. On a total site area of 2.000sqm (40x50m), 650sqm are occupied by the school. The orientation of classrooms and the pattern of windows, which are framed in iron painted red contrasting the blue of the walls, assure the right amount of interior daylight and natural ventilation. Project implementation - After the first stone setting, in June 2010, the works started immediately and proceeded very quickly. With a short interruption in December during winter season, the school was inaugurated in April 2011. The school opened just under a year after the workshop started. It was a thrilling, meteoric experience and an object lesson in the problems facing war- torn countries. The Provincial Reconstruction Team in Herat, in its military and civil components, sustained the project choosing the right location for the building and giving logistic support during its implementation. A synergy between PRT and the cooperation representative of Italian Foreign Ministry in Herat provided contacts with local authorities to get the authorizations. Afghan workers carefully followed the drawings sent from Italy, but they used their own local construction processes. They construct all the elements in at once: foundation, pillars, walls and, only at the end, concrete beams and roof. In a certain way their construction methods are similar to the ones used in Italy during reconstruction after Second World War. Every week the site supervisor sent reports, pictures and updated percentage of realised works in Italy. It has been not so easy to control all details at such a distance and thus, at the end of November 2010, three architects of the workgroup visited the site to define the last finishing. Construction cost is about 150.000 €, including expenses for the realization of the garden. Maria Grazia Cutuli Foundation has provided for all the funds. After the school has started to be used, the Italian daily newspaper “Corriere della Sera” donated fifty computers and the Provincial Administration of Catania (Sicily) granted the realization of the school playground. Brick materials - Brick, as well as all the other materials and the applied technologies have been defined according to the local uses. Walls are made of solid brickwork, while the structure is a reinforced concrete frame. All the brick façades and the border walls has been painted in blue, a color which is traditionally used in Afghanistan for ceramics, giving a sense of rootedness. Brickworks are part of that what we call “inevitable sustainability”. Due to project low budget and given external conditions only local Afghan workers, developers and suppliers could operate on site. Painted colouring for brickwork was used instead of render to keep costs down. Three different shades of blue draw attention to the complex layout of the building. The Italian colour firm “Colorificio San Marco” (Venice) donated the whole amount of wall paintings. Geographical difficulties - First key point of this project, which is related to the specific location of its site, is the condition of operating in one of the most difficult war zone of the world. Construction in war zones raises a number of issues, especially about the rebuilding of social relationships by providing activities and places that can stimulate community growth. Till Maria Grazia Cutuli School was built, children had to attend lectures inside stables or under a three. The Italian Ministry of Defence provided for the necessary protection of the all operations related with the implementation of the project, untill the opening ceremony. Second key point is rethinking the meaning of architecture in such political and social circumstances. At a time when it is the image of architecture rather than architecture itself – buildings – that are the centre of debates, it was important to rediscover the importance of reinstating one of architecture’s other roles. The school doesn’t claim to solve big problems by applying political theories and utopian concepts; it aims merely to meet the needs of the moment. Construction characteristics - All the materials and the applied technologies have been defined according to the common uses of the Afghan developers. Structures:

  • Freedom of Expression & Impunity Campaign
    FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION & IMPUNITY CAMPAIGN CHALLENGING IMPUNITY: A PEN REPORT ON UNPUNISHED CRIMES AGAINST WRITERS AND JOURNALISTS PEN Club de México PROLOGUE The year-long Campaign on Freedom of Expression and Impunity, focusing on unsolved and unpunished crimes aimed at silencing writers and journalists, was launched on November 25, 2002, in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, during a conference of the Writers in Prison Committee (WiPC) of International PEN. Direct actions have been taken throughout the year and culminated with the release of this PEN report on the problem of impunity and a roundtable during International PEN’s 69th World Congress of Writers in Mexico in November 2003. Please visit http://www.pencanada.ca/impunity/index.html. The campaign was led by PEN Canada and found partners in the Writers in Prison Committee of International PEN, PEN American Center and PEN Mexico. Thanks to all who took part.

I have felt it when essential information has been denied that would determine individual criminal responsibility; when judges and witnesses have been threatened; when the lawyers for the accused military officials use the same constitutional guarantees of due process in order to obstruct judicial procedures; and when my family, my lawyers, my colleagues and I have been threatened or been victims of campaigns to discredit us.

  • Journalism, Civil Liberties and the War on Terrorism
    International Federation of Journalists Journalism, Civil Liberties And The War on Terrorism Final Report on The Aftermath of September 11 And the Implications for Journalism and Civil Liberties By Aidan White, General Secretary Introduction In the days immediately following the September 11th 2001 attacks on the United States, the IFJ carried out a brief survey of its member organisations seeking information about the immediate impact of the terrorist attacks. The report, to which journalists’ groups in 20 countries responded, was published on October 23rd 2001 and revealed fears of a fast- developing crisis for journalism and civil liberties. Some eight months later, these fears have been confirmed. The declaration of a “war on terrorism” by the United States and its international coalition has created a dangerous situation in which journalists have become victims as well as key actors in reporting events. This is war of a very different kind. There is no set piece military confrontation. There is no clearly defined enemy, no hard-and-fast objective, and no obvious point of conclusion. Inevitably, it has created a pervasive atmosphere of paranoia in which the spirit of press freedom and pluralism is fragile and vulnerable. It has also led to casualties among journalists and media staff. The brutal killing of Daniel Pearl in Pakistan at the start of the year, chillingly filmed by his media-wise murderers, has come to symbolise the appalling consequences of September 11 for journalism and for freedom of expression. That murder, together with the earlier killing of Marc Brunereau, Johanne Sutton, Pierre Billaud, Volker Handloik, Azizullah Haidari, Harry Burton, Julio Fuentes, Maria Grazia Cutuli and 1 Ulf Strömberg in Afghanistan, is a grim indicator of the dangers facing journalists.

  • PERSONAL NOTE Kurt Schork, an Inspirational Reuters Journalist
    PERSONAL NOTE Kurt Schork, an inspirational Reuters journalist who I worked with in East Timor, was shot dead in an ambush in Sierra Leone in May 2000 along with Miguel Gil Moreno de Mora of Associated Press Television; two other Reuters colleagues survived the ambush after a harrowing escape. I learned a huge amount during the few weeks I worked with Kurt as part of the Reuters team in Dili, based in a flooded and partially burned ground-floor room of the Hotel Turismo. He always behaved with disarming humility and respect, as a colleague and an equal, when in fact he was a legend and I was a clueless rookie. I found out he was dead when I sat down at my desk in Reuters Jakarta and saw that one of his most famous stories from Sarajevo had been reissued that day on Reuters screens; wondering why, I clicked on the headline to read the story, and then I knew. Harry Burton, an Australian journalist and cameraman who was a much loved member of the Jakarta bureau and also worked with us in East Timor, and Azizullah Haidari, a brave and witty Afghan colleague who I worked with in Pakistan, were killed on a stretch of highway between Jalalabad and Kabul in November 2001. A gang of armed bandits tried to halt a convoy of media vehicles heading for the Afghan capital, and managed to force one car to stop. Harry and Aziz were in that car, along with Maria Grazia Cutuli of Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, and Julio Fuentes of Spain's El Mundo.
