[February 22, 2010]. As part of its activity of observation and advancement of architecture videos, Image ARCHIVE www.image-web.org/archive is pleased to announce the forthcoming edition of the SMIBE Short Film Competition www.smibe.org. The program for the Society for Moving Images about the Built Environment (SMIBE), based in Los Angeles and hosted in the VDL Research House designed by Richard Neutra in Silver Lake, is to stimulate the production of moving image stories so as to investigate and explore social, environmental, political, technological, and economic issues that designers of the built world should be discussing.
What are issues that we should be addressing in our built world? To answer this question, SMIBE turns to the community of professionals, college and university students from architecture, landscape, art, industrial design, interior design, motion graphics and film to offer a challenge: produce a 3-minute, engaging and entertaining moving image story about Personal Infrastructures. Deadline is March 31, 2010.

[February 16, 2010]. The observations of Italian astrophysicist Margherita Hack; Florence as it is depicted in Marco Vichi's novels; the citizens' desires for their city and their neighborhoods; Gianluca Costantini's sketches. These are just some of the contents of the latest issue of FFF, the six-monthly magazine dedicated to the ideas and visions of Florence www.firenzefastforward.it. The magazine intends to give voice to those creative people who worked hard to envision a possible future for the city. Starting with their experiences, from their proposals and their works, FFF offers an overall survey of the creative forces which are active in Florence, in hopes of promoting an awareness of one's city which can stimulate initiatives, events and actions which may better living conditions. The city will look at its future and learn to reinvent itself.
The blood of ideas, of creative resources and of visionary efforts -writes Marco Brizzi in his foreword- has long been dispersed in the city of Florence. So many designers have wasted their blood, with little or no result, in their attempt to keep the city to which they devoted most of their energies alive. "Blood! That should be on the inside!", says Fielding Mellish as he checks out a wound in Woody Allen's Bananas. No matter how natural it is that not all projects, not even the best ones, get realized, it is very likely that their systematic waste is actually sign of a serious pathology. And in Florence, one could create a brand new criminal museum (to be added to the museums of torture and of horror that are so popular to its turists) with all the blood sweated on projects and all the ideas that have died a natural death or have been killed by asphyxiation in this city.
Curated by Gianni Sinni, graphic designer, and by Marco Brizzi, architect, FFF also offers to its readers an open online space where anyone can leave a comment or a suggestion and be constantly informed about the events and initiatives promoted by the magazine.

[November 19, 2009]. The conference ARCHITECTURAL CLIMATE IN HOLLAND AND ITALY. ON CONSTRUCTION AND SUSTAINABILITY will be held on Thursday December 3 in Rome, Italy (invitation and program). The conference, promoted by the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Rome, in collaboration with IN/ARCH and with NAi, will explore environmental sustainability and energy saving issues by presenting excellent cases in the Netherlands and in Italy.
Among the guest speakers are: Peter Fraanje (Bouwend Nederland), Fabrizio Gallanti (Abitare), Francine Houben (Mecanoo architecten), Adolfo Natalini (Natalini Architetti), Andrea Rinaldi (University of Ferrara), Piero Torretta (ANCE), Alex van de Beld (Onix), Arjan van Timmeren (TU Delft), Cino Zucchi (Cino Zucchi Architetti). Architects, contractors, researches will illustrate their practical experiences and explore opportunities for interaction. The participation of such diverse expertise is aimed at identifying new possible market possibilities and at establishing new collaborations among the two countries.
The conference, which is aimed at architects, contractors as well as at scholars and journalists, will in fact hopefully establish a network of Dutch and Italian architects and contractors and reveal new market opportunities. "A research carried out by the Embassy on architecture in Italy -says Alphonsus Stoelinga, Dutch Ambassador in Rome- proves the topicality and the urgency of sustainable architecture. The conference will be a starting point for an exchange of practical experiences. Its final objective is to possibly identify opportunities for collaboration between the two countries."
The conference ARCHITECTURAL CLIMATE IN HOLLAND AND ITALY is open to the public. It will be held on Thursday December 3 at 2 pm at the ANCE auditorium in Rome, in via Giuseppe Antonio Guattani 16. For online registrazione please visit the IN/ARCH website www.inarch.it.

[October 6, 2009]. TURIN/FLORENCE. Groups, movements, projects for the contemporary city is a discussion forum that will take place on October 8, at 4 pm, at the SESV gallery www.sesv.it in Florence. The forum will see the participation of emerging creative studios from the two cities. The event takes its cue from a book which was published about a year ago by Electa publisher which offered a survey of architects working in Turin. The curator of this book, titled 011+ architetture made in Torino, is Davide Tommaso Ferrando, and he selected 13 studios among those that, according to him, best interpret the "new and vibrating" architectural culture in Turin (on ARCH'IT www.architettura.it there is a short note presenting the book).
Following the experience of 011+ (that in the meantime endowed itself with a useful blog zeroundicipiu.wordpress.com) as well as the stimuli offered by the new Councillor for Culture and Contemporaneity of Florence (at this address www.barcamp.org/palazzovecchio you may download the strategic document drafted by Giuliano Da Empoli), we thought it would be interesting to organize a discussion forum where the Torinese and the Florentine architects could meet, so as to explore differences as well as connections. After an introduction by Davide Tommaso Ferrando and by Marco Brizzi, the forum, moderated by Elisa Poli, wil take place. Among the participating studios are acme architetture, Arabeschi di Latte, Archicura, AVATAR ARCHITETTURA, carlorattiassociati, map architetti, MARC, MDU architetti, MetroOffice architetti, MIMESI62 Architetti Associati, nEmoGruppo, nuvolaB, studioata, zpstudio and many more. Also Alberto Breschi, Saverio Mecca (newly elected dean of the Florence School of Architecture) and Marcus Andresen (founder of Europaconcorsi www.europaconcorsi.com) will participate.
