The 2009 edition of the BEYOND MEDIA festival includes two exhibitions: SPOT ON SCHOOLS, an exploration, on an international basis, of state-of-the-art and cutting edge researches on the influence of the new media on the discipline of architecture; and URBAN VISIONS, an exhibition dedicated to projects of urban transformation which stand out not only for their architectural qualities, but also for the effectiveness and the pertinence of the forms of communication that have been used in order to present them to their audiences.

The third edition of the SPOT ON SCHOOLS exhibition, curated by Paola Giaconia, involves some twenty architecture and design schools which in the world distinguish themselves for their research and experimentation in the field of new media of communication. The invited schools will tell, through the experience of the students and of the instructors, how the new technologies influence the various phases of a design, starting from the very act of creative conception.

Among participating schools are: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece; Asia University, Taiwan; Ball State University, USA; California Polytechnic State University, Pomona, USA; Clemson University, USA; École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL, ENAC School, Switzerland; Facoltà di Architettura di Pescara, Italy; NABA, Italy; Politecnico di Torino, Italy; Rhode Island School of Design, USA; RMIT University, Australia; SCI-Arc, USA; Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, USA; Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, Portugal; Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), Spain; University of Calgary, Canada; University of Florida, USA; University of Hong Kong; University of Thessaly, Greece.

The program for the exhibitions is currently being finalized and will be announced soon. For the moment, you may consult the program of the exhibitions in the past editions of the festival.

Have you heard about performalism? Not sure?
Then please join us for a conversation on Performative Architecture.
brown-bag-lecture

Simulation algorithms are increasingly used by architects during the design process and many contemporary design processes in architectural practices use simulation in an“after-the-fact” manner for evaluation purposes. In this kind of design process, changes are generally very limited, hard to implement and expensive. This lecture would argue for a different design approach in which architects use simulation tools and methods to generate the architectural form.
