WORKSHOP MADRID

The BUW (Bergische Universität Wuppertal) Dpt. of Urbanism Prof. Tanja Siems and Rocio Paz, Research lecturer Urban Culture, in collaboration with AAIS (AA Interprofessional Studio, London), Director Theo Lorenz and the Matadero are hosting 3 days of workshops and panel discussions from 15/6 - 18/6 in Matadero Madrid.

MAIN THEMES: Urban Culture / Nanourbanism / Networks Of Transformation.
MAIN AIM: to study how arts and culture can trigger urban transformation, if acting in a concerted way, creating 'autopoietical networks of transformation'.
ACTIVITIES
The activities are conformed by two interconnected strings of actions to be presented in Matadero Madrid www.mataderomadrid.com :

Salon-Conversation: On the 16/6 there will be an inter-professional meeting, in tune with the ‚salon-conversations’ currently held at the AA in London by AA Interprofessional studio. In a series of talks and symposia, artists, designers, film-makers, scientists and publishers, critics and writers come together to discuss their collaborations. So in Matadero a group of professionals from arts, design, urbanism and emerging architecture will present themselves and their work and discuss topics as urban culture, networks of transformation and inter-professional work across creative industries.

Workshops and Final Jury: In parallel a group of BUW architecture students will walk around selected areas of Madrid which are in need or have high potential of change and through a factual and socio-topographical-psycho mapping analyze the areas and existing networks, finding sites as possible cells of intervention and potential transformation.
These could be streets, public areas, as well as underperforming buildings, sites, voids, and empty spaces, patios, roofs...
They will do a workshop with Marina Otero Verzier and Alvaro Martin Fidalgo (ETSAM) and Paisaje Transversal (Association and Collective of students and architects ETSAM).

During the workshop they will map these areas and develop a proposal of a network of concerted interventions of cultural and pubic nature, that will help trigger change and act as catalysts of urban development.
A group will start trying out a series of 'fast' interventions, which they will concretize in for the 17/6.
Agents of change / transcription could be: actions, re-programming, pavilions, installations, interventions, performances, talks, mediation, etc...

The results of these workshops will be shown and discussed on the 17/6 from 16.00 - 18.00 h in Matadero to a panel of different professionals from the fields of architecture, urbanism and arts.

The BUW Wuppertal / AAIS want to keep alive the discussion of the role of urban culture for our cities in a cross-disciplinary panel of collaborations and to re-direct the focus to Madrid, where a series of the discussed themes are being carried out right now, transforming the city in a lively laboratory of urban culture for the future of our cities.
