The Garage Manifesto at the University of York
Jens Casper and architectural researcher Luise Rellensmann are presenting The Garage Manifesto at the University of York Thursday 26 October, 5 pm at K159 King’s Manor.Garage facilities from GDR times are a rather unnoticed building type, although over 500,000 of them are still shaping the urban fringes of many East German cities and villages. Car shelters, alternative living rooms and places for male-bonding, they were erected by self-organized associations on leased public (volkseigen) property. They are often preserved in their original state including associated infrastructural elements. 28 years after the fall of the Wall in 1989, they are still the subject of disputes concerning questions of ownership and identity.
Making Heritage: The Garage Manifesto promotes preservation as an axiomatic part of architectural theory, as a creative act and participatory social practice. The Garage Manifesto started as an interdisciplinary seminar Luise and Jens held at Brandenburg University of Technology, and was on show at the renowned Architektur Galerie Berlin Satellit earlier this year.

Another Kind of Life – Barbican Exhibition
↧
‘Another Kind of Life’ Exhibition at the Barbican
On until 27.5.2018
Touching on themes of countercultures, subcultures and minorities of all kinds, the show features the work of 20 photographers from the 1950s to the present day.
Another Kind of Life follows the lives of individuals and communities operating on the fringes of society from America to India, Chile to Nigeria. The exhibition reflects a more diverse, complex view of the world, as captured and recorded by photographers. Driven by personal and political motivations, many of the photographers sought to provide an authentic representation of the disenfranchised communities with whom they spent months, years or even decades with, often conspiring with them to construct their own identity through the camera lens.
Featuring communities of sexual experimenters, romantic rebels, outlaws, survivalists, the economically dispossessed and those who openly flout social convention, the works present the outsider as an agent of change. From street photography to portraiture, vernacular albums to documentary reportage, the show includes the Casa Susanna Collection, Paz Errazuriz, Pieter Hugo, Mary Ellen Mark and Dayanita Singh.

Five contemporary architects respond to the original Barbican plans.
In December 1968 a report was submitted to City of London including detailed drawings and a written proposal for the Barbican Arts Centre. To fit in the restricted site, architects and engineers resorted to an inventive solution: excavate the site twenty metres below ground level and place the majority of the Centre below the elevated walkways. The architects compared the Arts Centre to ‘the hull of a large ship in which much is contained below the water.’
Five contemporary European architects: 6a, Office KGDVS, Carmody Groarke, Casper Mueller Kneer and Witherford Watson Mann, were given the task of proposing a critical intervention on the different spaces, reflecting on the drawing as an unfinished structure that could be adapted to meet the needs of an international Art Centre. The original drawings will be displayed side by side with the architect’s proposal.
The display is on view at the Barbican Hall until November 2018

Casper Mueller Kneer shortlisted for NLA Award
Pentagon Petal has been shortlisted for the New London Architecture Award supported by the Mayor of London featuring London’s best projects of the highest design quality which make a positive contribution to their surroundings and life in the capital.
Petagon Petal, a collaborative design with artist Fran Cottell created an ambitious communal urban furniture that immediately resonated with recognition for Westminster’s local population. Sited next to Tate Britain this 120 metre bench made an underused urban space usable and sociable, facilitating events and exchange, gathering its otherwise disparate communities. Constructed and funded locally and donated for reuse afterwards, this project provides an innovative prototype for a temporary urban furniture sited firmly in London’s evolving collective memory.
