APRIL 2022 GUEST CRITIC AT UPH – UNIVERSITY PELITA HARAPAN, JAKARTA

Maurizio is invited as guest critic for final studio presentation.

The course examines the theory of “the everydayness” as the basis to understand our current surrounding urban built environment, especially urban spaces that are categorized as ‘abandoned’ spaces in the city of Jakarta. Interrelated social conditions, that are happening and that are needed, can be studied to understand the potential for any architectural intervention in an urban setting.’

LIVING TOGETHER, APART. FUTURE SPACES OF (HUMAN) INTERACTION

Maurizio is invited as guest teacher for the P5 module at the AHK Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. The multidisciplinary studio, open to master students from architecture, urban design and landscape architecture, investigates the Future of Human Interactions.

Abstract from the design brief:

While everyday news brings awareness of the consequences of human activities on the planet, the transition from Holocene to Anthropocene has massive spatial consequences on the environment, as well as effects on the nature of human interactions. We witness changes in social structures – i.e., family – that require a new thinking about the way we plan and design our cities.

With the ever-growing power of technological devices, accommodating interactions will need more attention and design thinking. Will our interactions stay human, or will they evolve into solely or hybrid forms of technology augmented connections? How can architects, urbanists and landscape architects envision a spatial-social construct in which privacy and self-reflection are combined with a healthy balanced social and ecological life? How can we as designers envision new spatial configurations and typologies that give space for interactions between humans, and with nature?

The topics that the students have chosen, show a wide range of research subjects on loneliness, on the way we might live together when being dominated by digital media, on trans or even post-humanism, on the role of sexuality and human interaction, on night cities, on the symbioses of man, machine and nature.
