  • Vortrag PPAG / Anna Popelka

We build this City… Yes, it´s us (all)!
Mo 18.05.2009 | 19:00h | Vortragsaal IKA R211a, 2.OG

Lecture of PPAG architects, Vienna
in the context of the lecture series “We built this City” at the Institute for Art and Architecture Summerterm 2009.

In connection with an urban dimension it is often said that the problems lie beyond the possibilities of the single person. We tend to think that we are powerless, on the other hand we take the qualities of a city for granted. We, PPAG, think, that we all have possibilities to contribute, to influence, as architects and as citizens. We think it is not only possible to take responsibility, it is even a duty. We try to make that position clear in the lecture by showing our big scale projects like WAP / Wohnen am Park with 275 flats, EU6 / Europan-Fickeysstrasse, as well as small projects, e.g. the effect of the MQ furniture project on the city context, and, from a very personal point, our own living and workingspace. Alongside we will explain some of the methods which we are constantly inventing and applying.

PPAG is a practice based in Vienna led by Anna Popelka and Georg Poduschka. PPAG works in different disciplines and dimensions of architecture, from furniture design to urban planning, intentionally not spezialised. We are committed to research and progress in architecture and we believe in the importance of personal experiences as influence of our work.

I bought a little city

I own a little city

Awful pretty

Can’t help people

Can hurt them though

Shoot their dogs

Mess ‘em up

Be imaginative

Plant trees

Best to leave ‘em alone?

Who decides?

Sam’s wife is Sam’s wife and coveting

Is not nice

Donald Barthelme was born in Philadelphia in 1931 to two students at the University of Pennsylvania. The family moved to Texas two years later, where Barthelme’s father would become a professor of architecture at the University of Houston, where Barthelme would later major in journalism.

Donald Antrim reads Donald Barthelme’s 1974 short story “I Bought a Little City” and discusses it with The New Yorker’s fiction editor, Deborah Treisman.

grasshopper tutorial by nao - box morphing

box morphing

This tutorial focuses on morphing capabilities of the latest grasshopper releases. Box Morphing in Grasshopper works a bit like cage editing in rhino, and makes it possible to populate geometry over a surface, in a way Paracloud might do it.

Click on more below to see the videos. (more…)

Grasshopper tutorial by nao - parametrise a tower

Very first video tutorial of (i hope) a longer series of videos about parametric design.

Grasshopper is a plug-in for rhino, allowing to design with constant control over transformations made (the plugin was formerly called “explicit history”)

This tutorial is destined to beginners, it is supposed to illustrate the capacities of the plugin.

You will learn how to build a parametric driven tower. The tower can be twisted, bent in X,Y directions and each floor scaled depending on the bending.

Vortrag Peter Trummer | Berlage Institute, Rotterdam

Associative Design & Urban Regimes

Within the lecture, I will present the research I have developed over the last 5 years on the development of architectural knowledge in the field of associative design techniques within the domain of urbanism. The lecture is based on the hypothesis of Felix Guattaries “three ecologies” and will present mainly the research project on Phoenix Arizona.

Peter Trummer is an architect and researcher based in Amsterdam. He is Head of the Associative Design Research Program at the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam and writes his PHD on “population thinking in architecture”. He received his Master Degree at the Technical University in Graz by Guenther Domenig and finished his postgraduate Study and the Berlage Institute in Amsterdam in 1997. He is a former project architect at UN Studio, cofounded Offshore Architects before establishing his own practice in 2004. In 2007 he was Guest Professor at the Technical University in München, Germany. He lectures, teaches and is invited as a critic internationally, including at the Berlage Institute, the AA in London, the University for Applied Art in Vienna, the UCLA & Sci-Arc in Los Angeles and at Rice University in Houston. Recently he has published Essays in AD, Arch + and Volume.
