Shanghai Air Tree | Le premier projet d’architecture Creative Commons

Category: air tree commons+parametric+⚐ FR

Tags: +++++

Nous reproduisons par la suite un article du blog français complexitys qui présente notre projet Air Tree Commons:

Nous avons le plaisir d’annoncer la publication du premier projet d’architecture entièrement Creative Commons par l’agence espagnole Ecosistema Urbano: il s’agit de l’Air Tree (Arbre d’Air) dessiné pour le pavillon de la ville de Madrid à l’Expo Shanghai 2010.

Cela signifie que désormais n’importe quel architecte, agence d’architecture, mairie ou institution, pourra librement télécharger tout les dessins d’exécutions de l’Arbre d’Air et ensuite modifier le projet, le construire et, bien sur, le revendre.

Guggenheim side effects and the Architects’ originality obsession

Category: architecture+open culture+⚐ EN

In a recent coffee-break in Ecosistema Urbano we have been discussing the project for City of Culture of Galicia by Eisenman Architects and one of us used the expression “Bilbao effect”. Inevitably, this reminded me of a post I had written some time ago for the blog complexitys (HDA | Hugh Dutton Associés) and I would like to share my ideas with our readers:

A recent article on ArchDaily talked about our ‘in progress’ footbridge at La Roche sur Yon.
We’re pleased to be a subject of interest for a such an important architecture website, and what we appreciate even more is the public feedback and the list of comments left, which have inspired some interesting reflections about our work here at HDA.
I would particularly like to share some thoughts on the idea (or even obsession) of “being original” in architecture, the meaning of copying someone or something, and what this could imply nowadays, in a time when everybody is talking about copyright and how it’s changing with new communication technologies.

#followarch HDA | Hugh Dutton Associés

Category: #followarch+architecture

Tags: ++++++++++++++++++++++++

Twitter’s users have got into the habit of selecting and suggesting someone interesting to follow. This action has become a weekly international event and it is called #followfriday.

As you probably already know, [Ecosistema Urbano] has been inspired by the Twitter #followfriday to create a new section known as #followarch focused on recommending interesting and innovative architecture offices.

Today we are glad to present the work of the French firm based in Paris HDA | Hugh Dutton Associés that we have been recently following trough their blog and through their twitter @HDA_Paris.

We especially appreciate their approach that focus on an intelligent and poetic combination of architecture and engineering.

In the last months, due to a big “network effect”, some of their projects have been widely published, as well as their recently inaugurated footbridge design in La Roche-sur-Yon, France in collaboration with Bernard Tschumi.

Identidad (reputación) digital y comunicación estratégica

Category: ecosistema urbano+internet+⚐ ES

Tags: ++++++++++

En Ecosistema Urbano llevamos algunos años experimentando de manera cotidiana  procesos de innovación y estrategias de comunicación basados en el uso de nuevas tecnologías.

Hablando con muchos compañeros de trabajo me doy cuenta que esta labor de experimentación sigue siendo algo poco común en los estudios de arquitectura. Todavía hay mucha gente (y muchas oficinas) que ni siquiera sabe que es la web2.0, no conoce google docs, flickr o twitter: en muchos casos el uso de Internet se limita a google para las búsquedas, youtube para los vídeos y facebook para comunicarse con los amigos.
