In 2 days we start dreamhamar‘s three-month long participation phase of workshops, lectures and model building where residents are invited to dream and to discuss the future of Stortorget Square, and it is marked with a big opening party next Saturday, September the 17th at 2:00 pm !
Here are some graphic works I realized with Ecosistema Urbano team for the opening event.

I am very happy to share with you a post originally written for dreamhamar blog by our blogger and community manager Marisa, with whom I am collaborating in Ecosistema Urbano.
As one of my principal role within dreamhamar process is to develop theory and methodology for this architectural participation project, a few month ago I wrote What is Network Design Methodology? (originally in Spanish and translated in English by Marisa, thanks!) where I explained which methodology we were going to use for dreamhamar.
When Marisa was working to the English version of the article, she started detesting me :)
In the following text she explains why and she “translates” my words into an understandable language also for a non-architect. I sincerely invite you to read it: very funny and clear.
Thanks again Marisa for this brilliant explanation of network design methodology for participation processes!

I remember when Francesco Cingolani first tried to explain me whatnetwork design was. I remember looking puzzled. I remember going home wondering why two simple words had to combine in a concept so difficult to grasp.

A recent article on ArchDaily talked about our ‘in progress’ footbridge at La Roche sur Yon.
We’re pleased to be a subject of interest for a such an important architecture website, and what we appreciate even more is the public feedback and the list of comments left, which have inspired some interesting reflections about our work here at HDA.
I would particularly like to share some thoughts on the idea (or even obsession) of “being original” in architecture, the meaning of copying someone or something, and what this could imply nowadays, in a time when everybody is talking about copyright and how it’s changing with new communication technologies.

This is my new blog.

Depuis quelques mois, avec HDA , nous organisons des Ateliers de Formation d’Architecture Parametrique et Grasshopper à Paris, en collaboration avec Rhinoforyou.
Cet article est une copie de celui publié sur complexitys.
Comme nous avions déjà annoncé en Mai, et comme il est annoncé sur le site de Rhinoceros, HDA démarre une nouvelle activité en collaboration avec Rhinoforyou, et organise des formations Grasshopper intégrant un Atelier pratique d’Architecture Parametrique.
Un de ces cours de formation est prévu à Paris du 20 au 22 septembre. Nous souhaitons proposer les 3 formules suivantes en fonction des besoins des stagiaires:
– 3 jours ( Initiation+Atelier ) : du lundi 20 septembre au mercredi 22 septembre
– 2 jours ( Initiation ) : lundi 20 et mardi 21 septembre
– 1 jour ( Atelier ) : mercredi 22 septembre
Les 2 premières journées sont consacrées aux « fondamentaux » de Grasshopper avec en préambule une introduction au design et à l’architecture paramétrique et leurs impacts dans la conception, la création et la construction. La troisième journée sous forme d’atelier est dédiée à l’étude de cas concrets proposés par les stagiaires, qui, quelques jours avant la formation, pourront envoyer leurs projets par mail à info@rhinoforyou.com.
