Steam
Presentation of Geologics at RAS
Things have been a bit slow here in terms of posting, but it’s only because so much is happening in the analog world! We expect the blog to pick up some steam soon enough, though. In the meantime, please drop by our cousin blog at RAS. They have all sorts of good stuff, including promotions and events coverage.
For example, you can find some snapshots of last night’s presentation of Vicente Guallart’s brand new book, Geologics (published by Actar) where he “examines the technological, social and cultural changes in our information society for new urban building.” Which is to say practically everything.
Guallart recently declared that we are in the midst of a full-fledged spatial shift; that after sharpening the divide between urban and rural environments throughout the twentieth century, it is now time to “live differently, at another speed, and after expelling nature from cities we are now introducing networks into nature.” He also mentioned that architects have to stop worrying about building buildings and start worrying about building entire, complex habitats.
The full Q&A with the author is available on-line at El Periódico (sorry, only en català or en español. But don’t worry, you can find plenty of good reads on the subject of Guallart and the “re-naturalization” of cities elsewhere. And you can always buy the book, of course!)
