network design philosophy behind dreamhamar process

As architects regarding the city as a complex and multi-layered phenomenon, during the past years we have been facing deep change in the way we relate to urban issues. We have learned – by doing – that knowledge and creation are becoming hybrid and diffused phenomenons, transforming traditional, closed and fixed structures, into open and flexible network structures. The image above is a visualization of dreamhamar process based on an image by Ecosistema Urbano and a network visualization by Nancy White.

Architects creating communities before buildings

During last months I’ve been working hard for dreamhamar network design process to transform the design of a public space in Norway into a collective dream. While I was working from Ecosistema Urbano in Madrid as a member of the DIGITAL LAB TEAM, another team was moving to Hamar in order to coordinate onsite activities.

A few days ago Noa, one of my colleagues in Hamar, published “Learning from Hamar”, a short essay about her 2 months experience in Norway. I think it is a great report and a touching text; it explains how a network design process goes beyond the pure participation process, by building a networked community (both local and international) to work on a mutual case.

La France et le Génie Urbain qui sauvera le monde


“Ecological Reconfiguration of an Urban Center” par l’agence Ecosistema Urbano

Cela m’a fait plaisir de trouver un article sur urbanews.fr, écrit par Bruno Morleo, qui cite mon blog en le décrivant comme un véritable stimulateur d’idées italo-anglo-franco-espagnol. L’article porte le titre “Le mystérieux Génie Urbain sauvera le monde” et contient des références importantes sur l’innovation urbaine et les tendances sociales de l’architecture contemporaine.

Souvent je ne suis pas sur que rédiger un blog en 4 langues soit très efficace, mais cette citation confirme peut-être que cela a un intérêt, surtout dans le contexte d’un réseaux internationelle que je développe depuis quelques années.

Alors, mon post d’aujourd’hui, il sera en français :)
