Shelter design transformations for the Guggenheim in Vilnius<\/strong>
\nOPEN CALL for hands-on workshop<\/p>\n

For students and professionals in art, architecture and design,
\nas well as ecology, gastronomy and fashion<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

March 19-21, 2010 Trondheim, KIT\/NTNU<\/p>\n

This open call, issued by members of an artistic community in Vilnius, seeks contributions to re-imagine the Guggenheim museum project currently planned for Vilnius, Lithuania.<\/p>\n

The artistic community started Guggenheim Visibility Study (GVS) as an independent educational experiment in 2008, during heated discussions regarding the development of the Guggenheim Museum project. During the summer of 2008, three architectural models for the museum proposed by Zaha Hadid, Daniel Libeskind and Massimiliano Fuksas were redesigned by the GVS group to respond to social issues absent in the original architectural competition, such as the need for social housing and equal distribution of space.<\/p>\n

This particular social housing project is an invitation to imagine and develop alternative habitats on the proposed Guggenheim Vilnius project site, on behalf of those disempowered and excluded from the planning of modernist cultural projects. The aim of the study is to develop a hybrid social model and proposal for temporary housing (specifically, tents) as well as more dignified conditions for those in need of shelter.<\/p>\n

The workshop seeks to generate models that exemplify self-sustainable architecture. Performative quality will be taken into account as well\u2014the GVS will look at existing proposals that also spur discussion.<\/p>\n

Part of the workshop will also be devoted to research on the use of edible materials for shelter design. Applying local materials, such as traditional Scandinavian waffles, to modular use is one way to develop shelter architecture sustainability. The planned structures will be erected on-site in collaboration with local bakeries as an opening event during the Trondheim Biennial.<\/p>\n

The citizens of Vilnius need your help developing and transforming proposed models for Guggenheim into three viable prototypes for social housing and one edible museum that are all planned to be exhibited at the Manufacturing Today exhibition in Trondheim opening from April 16.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing Today Production Workshop: Outline<\/strong><\/p>\n

Re-enactment of three architectural proposals & waffle architecture performance
\n<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cA real engine of change; a catalyst for optimism\u201d<\/p>\n

1. Presentation and analysis of three architectural proposals by Zaha Hadid, Daniel Libeskind and Massimiliano Fuksas:
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The architectural competition\u2019s context and guidelines and how they are implemented in the proposals.
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Their projected impact: the spatial reconfigurations that the Guggenheim project implies and the project\u2019s definition of \u201csuccess\u201d
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The means by which the city is engineered to be a destination of consumption; specifically, who will consume and what will be consumed?<\/p>\n

2. Presentation of three subsidized housing project sketches created at the 2008 GVS workshop and an analysis of counter-proposals
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The original proposals\u2019 problematics as reflected in social housing models; their possible improvement and possible methods for responding to problems using shelter design.
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0An alteration of the Guggenheim-Hermitage project brief, including mapping, values articulation and additionally amended objectives
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Research and needs definition with regard to the target group shelters, noting what functions must be included and addressed by the new proposals.
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Execution strategies for the new proposals<\/p>\n

3. Group brainstorm on technological challenges and solutions.<\/p>\n

4. Production planning and meetings with necessary partners, including production companies, bakeries, etc.<\/p>\n

5. Installation and performance plan development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
