“Queer it! – Da uno spazio di genere, ad un genere di spazio" is an interactive installation that invites bodies to take part to a collective experience. The performative Queer space that we invite you to explore is no longer intended as a background for human actions, but as the place where bodies interact with each other, where identities express themselves and take possession of new shapes and meanings.

02_Call for paper

deadline 08th august 2021

This time we decided to focus our research on a topic that is very dear to us: environmental sustainability and, specifically, the circular economy. Starting, as it is our custom, from an architectural point of view, we have discussed how the impact of the use of new materials and technologies in a circular economy key, could overturn and call into question the very meaning of architecture and living.

How important were the testimonies of our past in the construction of today's cities? And how important will today's testimonies be for the city we will build tomorrow? What will the cities and territories of tomorrow look like from the point of view of sustainability and the circular economy?

These are just some of the questions that J. has asked itself and to which it will seek answers in the coming months.The exchange with you is, as always, the best food for our minds and the most interesting ground for discussion! 

J A C Q U A R D

[ˇ∫akàar] fr. ,wants to be a metaphor for an ancient object, revised in a contemporary key. Through the image of a Jacquard loom, the platform wants to make of the macro themes proposed, what a loom does with simple coloured yarns. The complex canvas of architecture will therefore be proposed, for the first time, through the exaltation of each of the yarns that compose it.

Proposing themes of architectural origin, found and extracted from one of the 17 Goals of Agenda 2030 each time, Jacquard will use architecture as a pretext to give voice to all the disciplines that closely deal with these issues. Through call for papers, every topic can be discussed by each of the experts from the different disciplines involved. In this way, for a given topic, it will easily be possible to get an idea of how different, yet linked to each other, the various opinions of the different actors involved are. More info
