DIYcity was created in October 2008 by John Geraci. The site explores the idea that open, participatory web technologies, applied to city living patterns, infrastructure and services, can radically transform cities as we know them, making them more efficient, more livable and more sustainable.

Quite often grand cultural events, as the Architecture Biennale is, cross the city of Venice in a such imposing manner, rarely interacting with what stays out of the exhibition path. This applies to the citizens (inhabitants, students, workers) and also to the professionals and the artists officially invited.

Hi! I’m going to start up a new thematic post series called “fisheye sessions” to show homemade views that can show other ways to interpret or analyze urban or suburban space.
In this case, in relation to the work about Fuencarral axis that we are developing in the office, I shall show a fisheye view of the Gran Vía & Montera crossroads in Madrid.

Building Futures is the future studies programme of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Its activities include undertaking research, producing publications, and holding lectures, debates and seminar events. Building Futures promotes and encourages interaction between researchers, developers, architects, clients and the public.
Building Futures was established to create space for discussion about the needs of society from our built environment and, consequently, the built environment professions in 20 years and beyond.
The group aims to address the big picture. How and where will we be living in 50 or 100 years’ time, when the climate has changed and cities are bigger than ever? What technologies will architects be using to design buildings and what new materials will they be specifying? How will the inevitable new technologies affect the buildings we all use every day?

Os dejo con dos videos sobre grafitti, algo que siempre genera sentimientos contradictorios. En este caso dos ejemplos positivos:
El primero es del Cans Festival en Londres.
El segundo, MUTO, una animación-grafitti de BluBLu (visitad su web, está muy bien).
