present the School of Design in its own stand at Salone del Mobile 2013 asked DensityDesign to realize a 4 mt x 2 mt poster showing the structure and the efficiency of the School of Design system at Politecnico The visualization is a picture of the 2010 2011 academic year We began with the visualization of the figures related to students On the left side you can start following the students path from the admission test to their bachelor degree which is connected to data related to the type of contract one year after graduation data referred to a 2010 survey We decided to integrate the visualization with information related to credits distribution Every circle is a course of study and shows its typology of exams theoretical courses labs etc with related C F U university course credits Inside it is shown the average of earned credits by students every year In the right side you can see the same data related to master degree We also visualized how many teachers each department gives to the school of design The poster has been completed with information about PhDs technical and research labs and the number of students for each school of Politecnico The poster was realized in one week by Gabriele Calvi and Sara De Donno with the supervision of Michele Mauri Sara De Donno 24 April 2013 Density Design http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3293 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:56:40

hypothesis of our Radical Pedagogy 1 research project is that these experiments can be understood as radical architectural practices in their own right Radical in the literal meaning from the Latin radice as something belonging or relating to the root to its foundations Radical pedagogies shake foundations disturbing assumptions rather than reinforcing and disseminating them This challenge to normative thinking was a major force in the postwar field of architecture and has surprisingly been neglected in recent years Architectural pedagogy has become stale Schools spin old wheels as if something is happening but so little is going on Students wait for a sense of activist engagement with a rapidly evolving world but graduate before it happens The fact that they wait for instruction is already the problem Teachers likewise worry too much about their place in the institutional hierarchies Curricular structures have hardly changed in recent decades despite the major transformations that have taken place with the growth of globalisation new technologies and information culture As schools appear to increasingly favour professionalisation they seem to drown in self-imposed bureaucratic oversight suffocating any possibility for the emergence of experimental practices and failures There are a few attempts to wake things up here and there but it s all so timid in the end There is no real innovation In response to the timidity of schools today the Radical Pedagogy project returns to the educational experiments of the 1960s and 70s to remind us what can happen when pedagogy takes on risks It s a provocation and a call to arms Beatriz Colomina with Esther Choi Ignacio Gonzalez Galan and Anna-Maria Meister 28 September 2012 The Architectural Review 1 Radical Pedagogy is an ongoing multi-year collaborative research project by a team of PhD candidates in the School of Architecture at Princeton University led by Beatriz Colomina and involving seminars interviews and guest lectures by protagonists and scholars The project explores a remarkable set of pedagogical experiments of the 1960s and 70s that revolutionised thinking in the discipline Each student is working on one of these experiments and collectively mapping the interconnections and effects of these experiments towards a major publication and exhibition Fig 1 Tournaments in the Course

the early twentieth century Suprematism represented a leap into a totally non-representational non-painterly tarantella-like dynamic Basic geometric shapes isolated or in groups were being energized propelled into an optimistic ideal soaring from lower left to upper right the vector alone suggesting time The limits of perception and understanding are being questioned An aura of simultaneous

motion-mimicking puppet Engaged in a subtle dance with his MPD32 Nosaj wove together a pounding wistful set before projected visuals As surreal as that live experience was its visual component is nothing compared to what technology artist Daito Manabe has accomplished for Nosaj Thing s Eclipse Blue With support from The Creators Project and collaborating with Perfume choreographer MIKIKO Manabe created a dynamic virtual environment to serve as the backdrop for two dancers whose movements across the stage are amplified by the graphics behind them making each action feel larger and more

PRACTICES Japan Proposals for In-Person Presentations Due 6 December 2012 The International Conference on Design Principles and Practices its associated design journals the On Design Book Series and the Design News Blog are sites of discussion which explore the meaning and purpose of design Participants in these forums also speaking in grounded ways about the task of design and the use of designed artifacts and processes The Conference Journal Book Imprint and News Blog support a cross-disciplinary knowledge community bringing together researchers teachers and practitioners to discuss the nature and future of design The resulting conversations weave between the theoretical and the empirical research and application market pragmatics and social idealism In professional and disciplinary terms the conference journals book series and online media traverse a broad sweep to construct a transdisciplinary dialogue which encompasses the perspectives and practices of

of Kurt Kranz 19th November 2010 to 29th May 2011 Inspired by a lecture by L aacute szl oacute Moholy-Nagy Kurt Kranz came to the Bauhaus Dessau in April 1930 In Walter Peterhans s photography class Kranz began to experiment with photographic techniques and created some of the most striking abstract picture series to emerge from the Bauhaus Alienated and abstracted faces and hands appear repeatedly in his dynamic picture series These show Kranzos early affinity for film as page for page the abstract forms interact with one another Kranz drafted his first concepts for abstract films at the Bauhaus although he was first able to realise these decades later in 1972 The exhibition to mark the artist s 100th birthday shows works from Kranz s Bauhaus years and his later work as an advertising graphic designer and focuses on a selection of his large picture cycles Strikingly diverse leporellos dating from the 1960s onwards take centre stage as do the so-called Matrix- und
