Discourse http://www.discourse98.com architecture : in search of.... Thu, 14 Feb 2008 10:09:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.2 en The Open Source Sustainable Architecture! http://www.discourse98.com/the-open-source-architecture/ http://www.discourse98.com/the-open-source-architecture/#comments Thu, 14 Feb 2008 07:30:09 +0000 admin Event Notice http://www.discourse98.com/the-open-source-architecture/ Still in the most architecture schools we learn “your architecture has to be a jewel..”
Now we should think it in a bit different way “your architecture has to come at real benefit for the community… (becoming a jewel is not mandatory!) and all your design will serve the whole world as an open source resource.”
On the upcoming Discourse we’ll see two interviews on of the superstar architect of contemporary picturesque architecture Frank Gehry who is more fit in the first line “your architecture has to be a jewel…”
and another one is a presentation by Architect Cameron Sinclair. Still his name is not very familiar to everyone. However he’s doing a great work being the founder of ‘Architecture for Humanity’ and ‘Open Architecture Network’. He is the winner of the TED award of 2006. And you just have to see the video to know what he is and its called Sustainable Open Source Architecture ;-)

Now the decisions will be open to the participants which they like and which style they like to follow…. Gehry or Sinclair?

(The videos are collected from TED.)
You all are invited to participate in the Discourse.

When? > at 17:30 on 16th February, Saturday
Where? > The Open Studio, Dept. of Architecture, The University of Asia Pacific,
House 51, Road 4A, Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

as we are trying to give a new look to discourse its ideal to share ideas. everything called idea should be practical, charming and comfortable.

it should speak architecture. country, nation and beyond .

its necessary to explore . dear all my fellow homo-sapiens related to architecture, do contribute. please/

He has photographed these masterpieces from different perspectives and out of different interests and intensions, which may not be found anywhere else in any publication on Corbusier.
So tomorrow’s Discourse is going to be a new revelation of these projects of Corbu for the participants. There will also be a presentation on a surprise project of Corbusier which you have never seen before (most probably!). It’s a recently built project, an amazingly off-track design by Corbusier.

So why to miss all these? Join in and rock the event!

When: at 1800 sharp on 26th July 2007 (Thursday)
Where: The Open Studio,
Dept. of Architecture, The University of Asia Pacific,
H#51, R#4A, Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
