We must fight for space - and for the peace, prosperity and opportunity it creates eisure space – public space – is at the very root of democracy,” says Richard Rogers (page 12), “We have a responsibility not only as architects, but also as ‘‘L citizens, to defend the quality of life of the individual.” Rogers sees the erosion of public space in cities by developers as a critical issue and urged architects, developers and the public to “defend our public spaces and help solve today’s social and environmental challenges.” His views mirror those of 2016 Pritizker Prize winner, the Chilean architect, Alejandro Aravena, who told CLAD, “Cities are measured by what you can do in them for free, particu- larly in unequal societies where you can’t have access to those kinds of amenities by paying. Public space in that sense is the redistribution of wealth and opportunity – by definition.” Aravena is known for his groundbreaking work in social housing, but also has strong views about the fundamental Post-tsunami transformation: the city of Constitución, Chile importance of leisure in the built environment. He says poor cities in Chile can have as The UN Habitat improving leisure, wellbeing and quality of little as 2sq m of public space per inhabitant, programme is life and securing a better and more equal future. against a recommended international standard aiming to provide The UN Habitat programme and the UN City of 9sq m.

    Guggenheim and AMO / Rem Koolhaas Announce Research Project Culminating in February 2020 Exhibition Countryside: Future of the World to Examine Radical Changes Transforming the Nonurban Landscape (NEW YORK, NY—November 29, 2017)—The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas, and AMO, the think tank of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), will collaborate on a project exploring radical changes in the countryside, the vast nonurban areas of Earth. The project extends work underway by AMO / Koolhaas and students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and will culminate in a rotunda exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in February 2020. Organized by Guggenheim Curator of Architecture and Digital Initiatives Troy Conrad Therrien, Founding Partner of OMA Rem Koolhaas, and AMO Director Samir Bantal, Countryside: Future of the World (working title) will present speculations about tomorrow through insights into the countryside of today. The exhibition will explore artificial intelligence and automation, the effects of genetic experimentation, political radicalization, mass and micro migration, large-scale territorial management, human-animal ecosystems, subsidies and tax incentives, the impact of the digital on the physical world, and other developments that are altering landscapes across the globe. “The Guggenheim has an appetite for experimentation and a founding belief in the transformative potential of art and architecture,” said Richard Armstrong, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation.

    College of Architecture and Planning Annual Report Academic Year 2008 – 2009

    COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING ANNUAL REPORT ACADEMIC YEAR 2008 – 2009 The word is out…. It is a true pleasure to submit this annual report. We have many success stories to report, and we certainly had a lot of fun working on those, but we also had substantial challenges; we all did. In our February issue of e-cap we acknowledged that “every challenge is an opportunity” and that creative minds are particularly well equipped to take advantage of such opportunities. Today we want to celebrate the fact that in spite of financial uncertainty we have been able to continue to move forward in an aggressive quest to take our college to the next level. A fundamental move in that quest has been to build a “dream team” for the college’s departmental leadership. Last fall we welcomed Prof. Mahesh Senagala as our new Chair in the Department of Architecture, this summer we have been blessed with the arrival of Prof. Michael Burayidi as our new Chair in the Department of Urban Planning, and before it gets too cold in January we will be joined by Professor Jody Naderi as our new Chair in the Department of Landscape Architecture. I don’t know of any other college of architecture and planning in the nation with a stronger leadership team. We have adopted the structure of our University’s Strategic Plan and in such a way promote integration and synergy through all our units. We invite you to review this report and share in our excitement and enthusiasm. This is a great time to be at CAP.

    20 Years in Spain

    20 YEARS IN SPAIN 1993-2013 Few of us would have imagined that 20 years after we opened a small office in Madrid we would be looking back on our contributions to some of the most innovative and influential projects that have been realized in Spain over that period. Probably none of us would have foreseen that five years after the onset of a lingering global financial crisis we would have a thriving multi- disciplinary Spanish practice, advising, planning, designing and supervising the delivery of projects all over the world. We are tremendously proud of the achievements of our colleagues in Spain over these 20 years and are confident that they will go on to achieve more great things in the next 20. Gregory Hodkinson Arup Group Board 20 YEARS IN SPAIN 1993 - 2013 At the service of life Arup has been able to successfully combine the small with the large, engineering with architecture and Scandinavian democracy with British empiricism. The firm, started in 1946 by the Danish engineer, Ove Arup, and founded in its present form in 1963 with the British architect, Philip Dowson, celebrates its first twenty years in Spain as mindful of its legacy as it is to its future. Those who have made many iconic works possible in recent decades are also responsible for minimal works in harsh and demanding social and technical environments, because as much talent is required to build a small bridge in a remote region of China as it is to erect a skyscraper in Europe. It is a saga of mythical engineers of the likes of the late-lamented Peter Rice – without

The project’s development centered on reflecting the characteristics Gross floor area: of the country and its inhabitants via a new way of building that was directly linked to the land itself. This close tie to the site and its setting would, when the adjacent distillery is demolished, enable the generation of multiple perspective lines on the city. Intentionally, a contrast is sought, a conceptual distance, between the new construction and Holyrood Palace, the twelfth-century royal residence that has been renovated many times. Unlike the palace, which dominates the landscape, the new Scottish Parliament drops literally into the hillside terrain, the lowest part of Arthur’s Seat, and appears to sprout from the living stone.
