En el post de hoy quiero presentaros algo diferente.
Si os gusta la arquitectura, el diseño, si estas pensando en estudiar arquitectura o quieres completar tus estudios o conoces a alguien que quiera hacerlo, The Bartlett Summer Foundation, con la colaboración de mi amigo Carlos Jimenez, artista y creador sin igual (ya os hablé de él en este post), están organizando unos cursos de verano muy interesantes. Una muy buena experiencia que recomiendo sin duda alguna.
Aquí os dejo toda la información para que le echeis un vistazo!
The
Bartlett Summer Foundation will
introduce and prepare students for a future career in architecture and
architectural education through the Bartlett eyes, the eyes of INNOVATION. The program
will provide students with a unique creative platform to
improve their design Skills and to acquire new ones through Experimentation and
Fabrication, in one of the most creative environment of the world. This Summer Foundation experience will allow each
student to build a conceptual and critical thinking as well as a consistent
design ETHOS within a PLAYFUL and ENJOYABLE atmosphere.
We welcome a wide range
of participants, of varying ages and differing backgrounds, including
prospective Bartlett students, international students, secondary school
students and those who have a career change in mind and want to use it as a
test bed to see if they are suited to a university degree in architecture.
Students
will study and develop ideas of Innovative Architecture and
design, as means and tools to improve the world. To inform these
speculations students will be asked to investigate London’s
transformation within the present economic climate, a framework that
promotes and requires a creative approach in order to change the rules that contribute to
society.
In a world in which homogenisation,
standardisation
and consumerism is considered the paradigm of economic development and at the
same time can be the cause of a dramatic loss of the welfare state, cultural, social and
environmental uniqueness, we aim to reclaim the role of design to develop
scenarios to promote and celebrate a diverse and sustainable future
environment.
We will design components of a desirable new
world, with a playful and enjoyable attitude, the attitude of the new upcoming
revolutionary thinking.
Supplemental to architectural design
classes will be workshops on photography, model making, fashion design, carpentry and filmmaking as a taster of the wide design scope that architectural
education demands.
The Bartlett School of Architecture offers
two separate routes within the Summer Foundation.
Route 1: the Summer Foundation - Running from Monday July 29th till Friday 30th August, a five week
course focused on developing key design skills
and critical thinking.
Route 2: the Advanced Summer
Foundation - Running from Monday July 29th till Friday the 20th September, an
eight week course for developing not only skills but also
additional and more advanced modes of conceptual thinking, used in design and
art education. This course follows directly on from the 5 week Summer
Foundation course listed above.
