CCA - My Invisible Friend

plancomun-cca-myinvisible-friend.jpg

Plan Común has been invited to participate in ‘My Invisible Friend’ series of lectures held at Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA). Curated by Lev Bratishenko, ‘My Invisible Friend’ invites authors to present projects made with non-architects and to reveal the invisible friends without whom their work would be impossible. Each speaker completes three tasks:

1: Tell the story of a decisive encounter with a figure from outside architecture and of how it created a new kind of practice.

2: Pick any dead or fictional non-architect to collaborate with, and explain why.

3: Pick another contemporary architect and a collaborator to inflict upon them, and explain why.

From the curator: The State of the Art of Architecture Milano is intended to be an invitation to reflect on the creation of new forms of contemporary architectural thought, through the involvement of 38 innovative and emergent architecture studios and researchers. The exhibition is intended to be an invitation to reflect on the creation of new forms of contemporary architectural thought, focusing on future generations in order to understand current lines of development and new directions in design.

MOB Projects - Domestic Essays / Ensaios Domésticos

11.10 _ 19h00

Carpintarias de São Lázaro

Rua de São Lázaro 7

Lisboa - Portugal

Plan Común will participate in ‘Domestic Essays’, exhibition of a furniture collection by MOB Projects in the context of Lisbon Architecture Triennale. Our contribution is ‘Bisagra’ a polymorphic device for domestic and work environments, a galvanized steel structure composed by 5 frames of 50x190x10cm.

Other participants include Bast (FR), Maio Architect (ES), Fala Atelier (PT), Sami Arquitectos (PT), Fernanda Fragateiro (PT), Boris Gusic + Lucio Crignola (CH), Aprdelesp (MX), Benjamin Ossa (CL), Martinez Barat Lafore (FR), Javier Toro Blum (CL), Alejandra Prieto (CL), Ivan Navarro + Courtney Smith (US/CL), Nicolás Aracena (CL)

Excerpt by the curators: “In an attempt to make architecture and art a shareable and comprehensible language, the scale of the furniture appears as a common ground of research, criticism and experimentation for new practices, which through a tactile and close scale, generate a series of questions around the interior space and the relation of the objects with the common world and the domestic user. Through rationality we can reach a contemporary interpretation of the world and build a theory of society, being this project a tool for reaching in a domestic way those objectives, exploring the closest scale between its creators and people.”

Campo Comum - Conference Program 2020-2022

plancomun-campocomun-fdf.jpg

Felipe De Ferrari will co-direct the Conference Program by Lisbon Architecture Triennale and Garagem Sul | Exposições de Arquitetura, do Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB), along with Diana Menino, for the next 3 years (2020-2022). The proposal entitled 'Campo Comum' was selected among 26 applications arriving from 11 different countries by a jury composed of José Mateus, Manuel Henriques, Madalena Reis, André Tavares and Irina Davidovici.

Excerpt : “Architecture must be understood as a strategic attitude regarding space and resources. Common Field aims to discuss architecture in its most literal meaning: a collective and strategic knowledge that is and could be applied by everyone, in any community, environment or culture, through a series of mechanisms, devices, structures and forms. To build up a Common Field requires to assess the idea of common sense, a critical concept in the present context of global neoliberalisation and political decay. Hence, we claim for a a critical and optimistic attitude towards physical and cultural contexts, policies, briefs and clients, architecture can appropriate reality, in radical and unexpected ways from research to construction —, making visible its potential and contradictions, developing projects that enable emancipatory ideas, thus building as a common field.”
