P-Public : news - CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS - until 7th April 2010

In collaboration with the Architects Association of Chania, we are organizing a “interaction” in Chania, Crete, on the 19th and 20th of June 2010, hosted by K.A.M. - Center of Mediterranean Architecture.
Since 1997, this institution has given the opportunity to emerging and established architects to undertake a fertile dialogue on subjects related to space-making, both at local and wide Mediterranean levels. K.A.M. is located in the heart of Chania, a city bearing a long history and a rich culture, being a crossroad between the East and the West for many centuries.
P-public will take place in the historical Arsenali, a building embedded within the old city, representative of its architecture and cultural heritage.
The programme will include public talks and presentations by individuals or teams of anyone who has creative ideas and interest to change public space, such as architects, urban planners, designers, artists, landscape architects, public space activists, engineers, gardeners,...
We would like to invite you to “interact” with us and join P-public on the weekend of the19th and 20th of June 2010, celebrating the arrival of the summer in Crete.
You are welcome to make a short presentation of your work. Just express your interest and let us know by email (including links, images or a summary explaining your project) - UNTIL 7th of April 2010.

Please contact: info@p-public.gr
Contact person: Ioli Georgila

There are no fees for joining the meeting.

Looking forward to seeing you in Crete!

S-port : news

We are pleased to announce the 8th 'interaction', taking place in Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday the 3rd of October 2009, from 19h to midnight.
The event is being co-organized by local hosts Salome Rätz and Tobias Jäggli. The venue is Carambolage in Kleinbasel - bar, kunst&kultur, spielen&lesen, trinken&geniessen. Please check this link for directions.
The S-port will be simultaneously the closing party of Swissport 2009, whom we are delighted to collaborate with. As a matter of fact, we took advantage of the coincidence of this being the 'S' event, to name it 'S-port'. The concept, results, stories and gossip of the intense weeks of conviviality between Portuguese and Swiss architects will be presented during this meeting, with the usual casual atmosphere. Please feel free to join and bring your friends.

U-hangover : news

We will meet in Frankfurt, the city of transport, trade fairs and banks, at the Club Voltaire - politik kultur kneipe. The event starts at 18h00m on Saturday the 6th of December 2008. The bar will be opened.

How is the current situation of international economic crisis affecting life in the home of the European Central Bank, where the monetary policy for the eurozone is defined? The meeting takes place in the day after the Christmas Party organized by ECB employees and we will discuss about this and other more interesting subjects. You are welcome to join and share your hangover with us.

X spot, W files - news

I am pleased to anounce 2 more 'interactions': the 'X spot' in London, on Friday the 2nd of May 2008 and the 'W files' in Madrid, on Saturday the 14th of June 2008. I will have as 'local partners', co-organizing the events, Thomas Gantner in London and Key Portilla-Kawamura in Madrid. In London the event will be hosted by The George Tavern. As they said 'There are approx 10,000 artists, performers and musicians in Central East London. All of whom need places to meet and a platform to show work', we thought it would be the perfect spot for our meeting. We plan to show presentations from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. (with a break) and then stay in for drinking and talking untill The George closes, at 1 a.m.. Please notice that Thursday the 1st of May is a holiday in most countries in Europe, so it could be a good opportunity to take Friday off and spend some days in London... If you already live there, you are invited to join us and bring your friends. In Madrid the event will be hosted by the Studio Banana, 'un faro cultural de debate y encuentro' dedicated to 'creación con carácter transdisciplinar'. We plan to show presentations from 15h00m to 17h00m and then stay in for watching Sweden vs Spain, referring to Euro Cup 2008 (starts at 18h00m). We thought this could be a great way of mixing culture and sport. You are invited to join us and bring your friends...
