ALAD LABORATORIES

[EN] ALAD (Architecture&Land Ambient Design) is an experimental design studio and research-unit which acts as a multidisciplinary platform in which a group of architects, landscape architects, artists, designers as well as writers are collaborating. The shared attitude interprets design as a material practice, which crosses disciplinary boundaries, and which, through a predominantly experimental and unconventional design and research practice, is able to investigate the changing conditions of contemporary spaces.
ALADlabs is part of an extensive international network, resulting in consolidated partnerships and on-going collaborations in Europe and beyond. Active in design, research, teaching, publishing, in congresses and conferences, it has been and is present in many exhibitions in Italy and abroad, winning major awards, such as, for example, the first prize at the 5th Biennal Internacional de Paisatge de Barcelona. In addition to numerous research activities for public authorities, ALAD participates in EU research programmes.

 

[IT] ALAD (Architecture&Land Ambient Design) è un atelier di progettazione, ricerca e sperimentazione, in cui collaborano architetti, paesaggisti, artisti, designer e scrittori in una piattaforma multidisciplinare. L'attitudine di fondo vede la progettazione come prassi materica e trasversale, che non riconosce confini disciplinari e che, attraverso una prassi progettuale in larga misura non convenzionale e sperimentale, indaga le mutate condizioni di fondo degli spazi contemporanei.
Con la sua équipe fa parte di una rete internazionale molto estesa, dando luogo a partnership consolidate e continue collaborazioni in campo europeo ed extraeuropeo. Attivo nella progettazione, nella ricerca, nell'insegnamento, nel campo editoriale, in congressi e convegni, è stato ed è presente in molte esposizioni e mostre in Italia e all'estero, riportando importanti riconoscimenti, come, per esempio, la vittoria alla V. Biennal Internacional de Paisatge de Barcelona. Oltre alle numerose attività di ricerca per Enti pubblici, partecipa ai programmi dell'Unione Europea.

SALUTI E BACI DA PERUGIA / 2012 / WORKSHOP / FESTARCH
Un laboratorio a cielo aperto che rivisita Bruno Munari

Quale gesto più semplice per salutare qualcuno se non scegliere con attenzione una cartolina e spedirla? Si comprano 30 cartoline di Perugia, quanto basta. L’unico criterio per la selezione: niente effetti speciali, bensì spazi e architetture di Perugia. Cartoline di sguardi sulla città, ma anche viceversa architetture pronte per viaggiare nel mondo.

Può bastare poco per progettare uno spazio: 1 taglio, 1 piega, 1 aggiunta di colore. Si lavora in analogico, utilizzando le mani, carte di qualità diverse e della colla per effettuare azioni reali sulle cartoline e, di conseguenza, sulle architetture e sullo spazio, per sperimentare micro-interventi in differenti scale e dimensioni.

Si toglie o si aggiunge progettando piccoli cambiamenti: addizioni o micro -infrastrutture capaci di variare l’uso e la percezione dello spazio. Implementazioni fisiche che rendono accessibili luoghi che altrimenti non lo sarebbero, che offrono viste che sarebbero impossibili da conoscere, che aggiungono nuova identità ai luoghi, alludendo a nuove funzioni rivolte a giovani e a meno giovani ospiti della città di Perugia.

Ma non solo.

Luogo: Festarch 2012 / Perugia, caffè Morlacchi

Strumenti e materiali: 8 paia di mani, 30+ cartoline,1 bisturi, 1 forbicine, 4 cutter, 6 forbici, 1 pinza, 1 punteruolo, 1 perforatore lineare a ruota, 4 righelli, 1 triangolo, 2 curvilinee, 1 mascherine di cerchi, 3 matite, 2 portamine, 1 gomma da cancellare, 1 temperino, biadesivo, colla, carta abrasiva, trasferibili, risme di carta colorata di qualità differente, carta bianca quanto basta, fili, spilli, cataloghi, riviste, quotidiani.

Durata: 420 min

Studenti: Marco Belloni (MI), Giacomo Boncio (PG), Carlotta Capobianco (MI), Graziano Camelia (MI), Daniele Mariani (PG), Matteo Zorzi (MI)

Docenti: Stephan Jung, Davide Rapp (ALADlabs, School of Architecture & School of Design Politecnico di Milano)

GRÜSSE UND KÜSSE AUS PERUGIA. REVISITING BRUNO MUNARI.

Was gibt es für eine einfachere Geste, um jemanden zu grüssen, als eine Postkarte zu verschicken, welche man sorgfältig ausgesucht hat. Man kaufe 30 Postkarten von Perugia (oder so viele wie nötig sind). Das einzige Auswahlkriterium: keine special effects, sondern Räume und Architekturen aus Perugia. Postkarten als Blicke auf die Stadt, jedoch auch umgekehrt: Architekturen, bereit, um in die Welt zu reisen. Oft genügt wenig, um einen Raum zu entwerfen: 1 Schnitt, 1 Faltung, das Hinzufügen 1 Farbe. Man arbeitet analog, die Hände benutzend. Mit Papier unterschiedlicher Qualität und etwas Kleber kann man in Postkarten reale Aktionen durchführen und als Konsequenz gleichzeitig an den Architekturen und am Raum, um mit kleinsten Eingriffen in unterschiedlichsten Maßstäben und Dimensionen zu experimentieren.

Man entfernt oder fügt hinzu, entwirft kleine Veränderungen: Ergänzungen oder Micro-Infrastrukturen, welche dazu dienen, die Nutzung des Raumes und seine Wahrnehmung zu verändern. Physische Eingriffe, welche Räume zugänglich machen, die unzugänglich waren, welche Ausblicke ermöglichen, die vorher nicht vorhanden waren, welche Orten neue Identität geben. Eingriffe, welche neue Funktionen und Programme für junge und weniger junge Besucher Perugia’s andeuten, jedoch nicht nur.

LOVE AND KISSES FROM PERUGIA. REVISITING BRUNO MUNARI.

What gesture is more appropriate and straightforward for saying hello than sending a postcard you have carefully chosen. Buy 30 postcards of Perugia (or as much as you need). The only criteria of selection: no special effects but spaces and architectures of Perugia instead; postcards with views of the city, but also architectures ready to travel the world.

It doesn’t take much to design a space: 1 cut, 1 fold, the addition of 1 color. Don’t go digital, work in analogue, use your hands, papers of different qualities and some glue to make real alterations to the postcards and, consequently, to architecture and to space, in order to experiment with micro-interventions in different scales and dimensions.

You design small sensible interventions simply by subtracting or adding: additions or micro-infrastructures capable of changing the use and the perception of a space. Physical changes which make places accessible that otherwise would be inaccessible, which allow views which would be impossible without those changes, which give places a new identity, hinting at new features aimed at young and less young visitors of the city of Perugia. But not only.
