On Monday, 13 November at 4 pm there will be an artist talk #postprintshop by Patrick Wagner from Stockholm. He will make an overview over works and collaborations in recent years, the possibilities of social media presence and how to deal (or not deal) with the loss of all artwork and printmaking workshop. Uplifting and hopefully inspiring despite the gloomy connotations, and involving lots of chine-collé. 

The artist talk will be in English.

Patrick Wagner (b 1980, Germany) is an artist and printmaking educator from Stockholm, Sweden. Since 2014 he teaches stone lithography at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, having previously worked as a contract intaglio printer in the studio of Tuula Lehtinen in Tampere, Finland.

Paekivi ja uued tehnoloogiad arhitektuuris: Tallinnas peab avatud loengu arhitekt Matthias Rippmann

Eesti Kunstiakadeemia arhitektuuri- ja linnaplaneerimise osakond toob ka sel semestril Avatud Loengute sarja raames Tallinnasse terve rea põnevaid arhitekte ja linnaplaneerijaid – nii teoreetikuid kui praktikuid – kõikjalt üle maailma. Kuulama on oodatud kõikide Eesti koolide tudengid, samuti tegutsevad professionaalid, õppejõud ja lihtsalt arhitektuuri- ja ruumihuvilised ja kõik, kes kaaluvad arhitektuuri õppima asumist. Avatud loengud on alati tasuta ja inglise keeles.

Sügishooaja neljandaks esinejaks on 16. novembril kell 18 Kanuti Gildi SAALi lavale astuv Matthias Rippmann, kes kuulus meeskonda, mis ehitas2016. aasta Veneetsia biennaali peanäitusele palju tähelepanu pälvinud 399 paekiviplaadist koos seisva armadill-võlvi (http://block.arch.ethz.ch/brg/project/armadillo-vault-venice-italy), mille osade ühendamiseks ei kasutatud sideainet. Paekivi uute kasutusmeetodite ja -võimaluste ümber keerleb ka Rippmanni Tallinna-loeng, mis peaks tegema loengu huvitavaks nii arhitektidele, sisearhitektidele, disaineritele kui materjaliteadlastele.

Matthias Rippmann on alates 2010. aastast Block Research Group (BRG) liige, kus ta 2016 kaitses oma doktorikraadi. Hetkel juhib ta BRG digitaalse tootmise uurimisgruppi NCCR, jätkates oma teadustööd post-doktorantuuris. Tema uuringud põhinevad konstruktsioonist lähtuval disainil ja automatiseeritud tootmisvõimalustel. Rippmann on modelleerimistarkvara RhinoVAULT arendaja, mis tegeleb TNA-põhiste koorikute genereerimisega. Ta omandas arhitekti hariduse Stuttgarti ja Melbourne’i ülikoolides. Matthias on töötanud Behnisch Architekten büroos Stuttgartis, LAVA arhitektuuribüroos, Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design intsituudis ning Werner Sobek inseneribüroos. Aastal 2010 kaas-asutas ta arhitektuuri ja konsultatsioonifirma Rippmann Oesterle Knauss GmbH.

EKA arhitektuuri ja linnaplaneerimise osakond on arhitektuuri avatud loenguid korraldanud 2012. aastast alates – igal õppeaastal astub Tallinnas erialase publiku ette kümmekond valdkonna omanäolist praktikut ja hinnatud teoreetikut. EKA arhitektuuriteaduskond on Eesti arhitektuurihariduse keskpunkt ja olulisim kompetentsikeskus kõigis tehiskeskkonda loovates distsipliinides, hõlmates sisearhitektuuri, arhitektuuri ja linnaplaneerimise valdkonda.

On Thursday, 26th October at 6pm Evelin Saul and Madlen Hirtentreu will open their first joint exhibition ‘Transmission’ at HOP gallery.

The exhibition stays open till 14th November.

In 1632, Galileo Galilei published his ‘Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems’. Some pages of the aforementioned book are dedicated to a discussion of a ship that leaves Venice for Aleppo. One speaker, Sagredo, imagines a pen that would leave a visible mark of the entire voyage from Italy towards Syria.
Noble Venetians ponder how it could be that everything on board remains immobile, while at the same time leaving a thousand-yard-long trace. They discover that a true and real motion can be seen from different perspectives, including those from which this very movement would be as if nonexistent.

Exhibition involves inner and outer space, movement between instinctive, controllable and uncontrollable.

One is left with resonance.

Attention: Access to mechanical inventory is physically restricted

From idea to realization: Evelin Saul, Madlen HIrtentreu

Technical team: Bruno and Rünno Mander, Harri Liis, Ahto Härm

Exhibition is supported by: Cultural Endowment of Estonia and Konesko Ltd.

Madlen Hirtentreu studied Visual arts and Economics in Italy, IED(BA) and graduated from Estonian Academy of Arts at the Sculpture and Installation department (MA, 2017).
She has been active in projects and exhibitions since 2014, including Estonia, Denmark, Italy, France, Russia and Canada.
In choice of medium tries to maintain freedom, using often collaboration between different means/materials.
Reoccurring themes in her work and research lies in psychological and physical aspects and codes in the matter and space, playing with subjects individual ability to perceive time and space.

2nd of November, Thursday, will start bright and early at 9AM with the next Morning Coffee event, where students and graduates from our department will come and share their experiences from studying, working or doing an apprenticeship somewhere else in the world – through the spectrum of space and spatial design. On the stage this time: experiences and views of the world, learning and spatial design: Andrea Lilian Zuniga Lozano from COLOMBIA and Seyedeh Sarina Masoumi from IRAN!

Also: this Morning Coffee event will be in English, spread the news so it reaches every EKA Erasmus student!

This event is perfect for students and those wanting to become a student, but also tutors; our Nunne St door is also open to anyone from other EKA departments or other schools. The interior architecture department Morning Coffee events take place every first Thursday of the month. The event is worthy of its name: there will most definitely also be coffee – and upon occasion, there has been also delicious cake (for the cake, you might want to bring a tiny bit of cash)

Set your alarm clocks, join us!

​Mexico City projekt “Foundation Alumnos47” Didier Faustino // Mesarchitecture

On the 2nd of November, Architecture Open Lecture Series will host architect and artist Didier Fiuza Faustino. Starting at 6 pm, this lecture will take place at the Von Krahl Theatre (Rataskaevu 10).

This autumn, the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Design of the Estonian Academy of Arts is inviting a number of exciting architects, urban planners, academics from across the world to Tallinn for the Open Lecture Series. The lectures are free of charge, in English, take place every fortnight, and are open to everyone – for both students and professionals of the field, general audience and students considering architecture for their further studies.

Arriving to Tallinn on the 2nd of November is Paris-based architect and artist Didier Fiuza Faustino, who is focused on how people relate to space and creates human-scale spaces. Faustino’s spatial installations are especially well known: he’s designed striking temporary stages that invite people to perform and speak up, as well as created spatial installation projects for exhibitions, asking questions about the sense of a space. Faustino’s lecture titled “Unbuilt memories” is one that also sculpture, installation, spatial design and interior architecture students, lecturers and audience should definitely not miss. All open talks are free and in English.

Didier Fiuza Faustino is an architect and artist working on the relationship between body and space. He started his own practice at the crossroad of art and architecture just after graduating in architecture in 1995. He has been developing since then a multi-faceted approach, ranging from installation to experimentation, from visual art to the creation of multi-sensorial spaces, mobile architecture and buildings. After teaching six years at the AA School in London and being two years editor in chief of the French architecture and design magazine CREE in 2015 and 2016, Didier Faustino is currently fully dedicating his time on architecture projects (Mexico, Costa Rica, Belgium, Portugal and France) and art installation and exhibitions (Vienna, Geneva, Lisbon, Los Angeles).

​Daniel Koehler – The Mereological City 2014
Model, scale 1:10000: computational model based on the Vertical City Schema by Ludwig Hilberseimer.

On 19th of November at 6 pm, the Open Lecture series will continue with architect, urbanist and researcher Daniel Köhler, arriving in Tallinn from London where he teaches at the Bartlett School of Architecture. In his research and in his lecture in Tallinn, Köhler focuses on the mereology of cities – how particles form a whole in the example of cities, making this a lecture that in addition to architects should definitely capture the attention of urbanists.

At the Bartlett School of Architecture, Köhler leads a Research Cluster in Urban Design and is the Coordinator of the Theory and History Module of the Postgraduate B-Pro Architecture Design Program. Furthermore, he is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Innsbruck and the co-founder of the Lab for Environmental Design Strategies. Köhler has taught at the Aalto University, Vilnius Art Academy, Sci-Arc, Städelschule and the University of East London. In 2016, Köhler published “The Mereological City”, a study on the modes of part-to-whole relations between architecture and its city during modernism. His recent research investigates on the physical implications of digital logistics: cities designed by pure quantities and their architecture.

Mereology is a branch of ontology that discusses part to whole relationships. When we say that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, we are performing a mereological equation. Köhler describes the architecture of the city as a compositional tension, realized with a multiplicity of buildings, with the city itself.

You are welcome to croquis drawing class of Faculty of Design on Fridays at 15.00-17.15
Room number 245, Estonia pst 7

Opening the architecture Open Lectures season on the 5th of October at 6 pm will be Enric Ruiz-Geli, Spanish architect whose innovative practices in the field of building energy efficiency, climate change led changes to construction and understanding of a building on a molecular level have inspired the world for nearly a quarter of a century.

Ruiz-Geli was designing bio-architecture already ten years ago, and has – unlike most – had his designs also built: his office building in Barcelona has an inflatable smart facade to regulate sunlight and temperature reaching the interior of the building. At present, Ruiz-Geli is co-operating with Ferran Adria and El Bulli, one of the most innovative restaurants in the world, currently being transformed into a scientific research institute for food – the goal being that the building to house the research for the future of food should also represent the future of architecture.

Enric Ruiz-Geli and his interdisciplinary architectural team Cloud 9 in Barcelona works at the interface between architecture and art, digital processes and technological material development. The architect’s multifaceted projects include stage designs and buildings, installations and patents, and are realized together with collaborative partners. Committed to the use of new technological developments for digital fabrication and the performative character of architecture, which creates intelligent structures in emulation of nature, its green agenda is to look at Pilot Projects in Global Warming Scenarios.

Enric Ruiz-Geli / Cloud 9 has been awarded nationally and internationally for the Research and Innovation applied to the design at, above other multiple times, the Research and Development Award of the Southern California Institute of Architecture and the Catalonian Award of Environment for the Sustainable Architecture.

Their most important projects include the Villa Nurbs in Empuriabrava, an organically formed, ecological and futuristic house; the Millennium Project in Valladolid, with an urban retrofitting and using for the first time 10 urban wind turbines; elBulli Foundation for the chief Ferran Adrà as a living laboratory in Cap de Creus; and the Media – ICT building in Barcelona that has been awarded as Best Building of the World by WAF 2011; a Net Zero Building with a very competitive cost of construction.
