#madrid2010 è stato l’anno – e anche l’ashtag! – dell’esplosione: in pochi mesi Madrid è diventato il centro in cui sembrava tutti prima o poi sarebbero arrivati. Dopo molti anni di separazione e viaggi, ho ritrovato a Madrid molte delle persone con cui avevo condiviso progetti, idee e sogni. È stato l’anno in cui io ho scelto di lasciare Parigi, dopo dieci anni, per trasferirmi a Calle Cruz – en el piso del gato encerrado – insieme a @juan_ @demierdadesign e G. de @lacasinegra.
#madrid2011 è stato l’anno della trasformazione. Abbiamo attutito il colpo e digerito l’esplosione. Chi più chi meno si è sistemato, io ho cambiato casa – currently living next to parque del retiro hihihi – ci siamo organizzati e abbiamo avuto modo di riflettere sul futuro, su come andare avanti.
#madrid2012 è alle porte, e si preannunciano cambiamenti importanti per tutti noi…

Llevo mucho tiempo sin publicar algo en español, desde el muy comentado post ARCHITECTURE IS NOT 2.0 que animó un debate muy interesante y que, como siempre en estos casos, me ha permitido conocer gente con la cual despues he empezado a trabajar.
Esta mañana llegando al estudio he pensado que, puesto que llevo un año viviendo a Madrid “next to Parque del retiro”, quizas podría escribir un poco más en español. Así que voy a compartir con vosotros un articulo que he originariamente escrito para el blog ecosistemaurbano.org en el cual explico que es la arquitectura parametrica y porque me intereso en ella.
Si este tema os interesa, podéis seguir mi trabajo de investigación en complexitys.com, el blog del estudio parisino HDA | Hugh Dutton Associés para quien trabajo como consultor de estrategia, comunicación y arquitectura paramétrica.

Cet article est une adaptation de “Shanghai Air Tree | Le premier projet d’architecture Creative Commons”, publié par HDA | Hugh Dutton Associés sur complexitys
L’agence espagnole Ecosistema Urbano a annoncé récemment la publication du premier projet d’architecture entierement Creative Commons: 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.
Voici les liens de téléchargement des dessins d’exécution du projet (en anglais):

We are glad to announce that CTRLZ Architectures has been chosen to design the renovation project for the old Cinemas of Plaza del Carmen in Madrid (image above).
For the past few years, we have been deeply involved in open culture diffusion and we strongly believe in architecture as a creative commons production. This is one of the reasons why we are so happy to have been commissioned by the Chinese company Xiu-Shui to reconvert the Cinemas into the first so-called “copy” and open culture mall that will pretty soon be open to the public.
Due to a great cooperative relationship between the municipalities of Shanghai and Madrid, that was crafted at the meetings which took place in Shanghai during the Expo 2010, Xiu-Shui has announced that the first Open Culture Shopping Center, to be named “LaSeda Market”, will be inaugurated in Madrid, Spain, in 2011.
Share the world is the motto used by Xiu-Shui to explain the philosophy behind the operation. As announced on their news page, «Silk Market malls are places where people can share the world, in which the different companies that promote the open culture as business model will have their own spaces. Share the world means open culture and open culture means share the world. Inside LaSeda Market, customers and users will be the same.»
These are really great news for us, as this purposes totally fit with our engagements in architecture and social innovation.
We think that copyrights are obsolete and that we are quickly moving toward a “free of charge” exchange of any kind of information or product.
The open spaces of the center (image above) are sponsored by open culture companies and a speedy Internet connection will fuse this open space with the entire global Web. There, you will be able to find products of the most famous open culture companies such as Mozilla, Ubuntu, Spotify, Youtube, Android, Bubok, Skype, Twitter, Creative Commons and much more.
