Background: The 16th Biennale International Architecture Exhibition takes place from May 26th to November 25th 2018 at the Giardini and the Arsenale, and around other venues in Venice. This year's exhibition is titled Freespace. Freespace can be a space for opportunity, a democratic space, un-programmed and free for uses not yet conceived. There is an exchange between people and buildings that happens, even if not intended or designed, so buildings themselves find ways of sharing and engaging with people over time, long after the architect has left the scene (from the official Biennale website).

 

Aim: To bring research students from the world universities to deal with the directions to which current research and practice of smart cities are leading to. Are they leading toward free-space, enslaved-space or a third-space yet to emerge? For more information please see the call for participation here: https://en-urban.tau.ac.il/news/Biennale2018

 

Participants: Graduate students (MA and PhD) at any department, which research involves, directly or indirectly, the theme of cities.

 

Agenda: Graduate students from leading universities around the world, with an ongoing or finished study, will participate in the workshop: 

  • 14 speakers will deliver 15 minutes lectures about their academic work. Each lecture will be followed by 5 minutes Q&A from the feedback crowd.
  • 12 students will present their academic work in the form of a poster at the workshop’s poster session.

 

Dates: October 23-24, 2018. Entrance pass to the Biennale at the cost of 20 Euro is valid for entry to the International Architecture Exhibition on three consecutive days.
