La rete Itinerant Office, all'interno dell'agenda culturale dell'Associazione New Generations, lancia l'opencall Architect VS rest of the world, un progetto editoriale partecipativo che chiede ai concorrenti di rappresentare, attraverso una cartolina da condividere sui social network, com'è cambiato il ruolo dell'architetto con la crisi economica.
Gli organizzatori del concorso hanno inviato a 50 architetti in tutta Europa una cartolina con la domanda "Qual è il ruolo dell'architetto nella società contemporanea?".
Adesso è il momento di coinvolgere "il resto del mondo", chiedendo a varie figure professionali, come ingegneri, designer, politici, fotografi e produttori di film, di partire dalle risposte degli architetti per fornire una propria interpretazione del ruolo del progettista, delle collaborazioni multidisciplinari che un architetto ha la necessità di fare e che importanza assume questa figura nella società contemporanea.
Architects VS rest of the world is a participatory editorial project conceived by Itinerant Office within the cultural agenda of the Association New Generations. It investigates alternatives ways to produce online content and to mix analogical and technological tools, all with the aim of anticipating future trends.
Since the beginning of the financial crisis our profession has changed significantly. Collaboration, horizontal projects, multidisciplinary teams, unconventional clients and experimental economical models are just a few words to describe these changes. Architecture merges more and more with other disciplines and vice versa. To understand and anticipate these changes a multidisciplinary confrontation is a necessity.
We addressed 50 architects across Europe sending them a postcard with the question: "What is the role of architect in contemporary society?" We recieved a very diverse set of answers, ranging from simple sketches, drawings and short quotes to more elaborate explanations.
Starting from the postcards with the architects answers, we will ask professionals from different backgrounds - engineers, designers, politicians, photographers, movie producers - to share their thoughts on the topic.
ELIGIBILITY
Competition is open to engineers, designers, politicians, photographers, movie producers who want to propose their own interpretation on the role of the architect in contemporary society.
