EN: The world we live in is clearly overdesigned.

The aim of dedesign is to explore the real necessities and limitations of the design praxis, if any. A design made by and for the 'non-designers'. An architect pretending to be a graphic designer pretending to be a video-editor and pretending to make a living out of it in Berlin.

And posting his results so far in the web.

If you have a project that could fit in this guidelines, or any comments, please share.

Gentlemen, let's dedesign.

DE: Wir wohnen in einer Welt, die deutlich überentworfen ist.

Das Ziel von dedesign ist, die realen Bedürfnisse und Grenzen der Design-Praxis zu erforschen. Ein Design, das für und von den 'nicht-designers' gemacht ist. Ein Architekt, der ein Grafiker zu sein behauptet, der ein Video-Editor zu sein behauptet, der seinen Lebensunterhalt damit zu verdienen behauptet.

Und er stellt seine bisherige Projekte ins Netz.

Wenn Du ein solches Projekt im Kopf hast, oder noch eine Meinung, bitte nimm Kontakt mit mir auf.

Meine Damen und Herren, let's dedesign.

ES: El mundo en el que vivimos está claramente sobrediseñado.

El objetivo de dedesign es explorar las necesidades y limitaciones reales de la praxis del diseño, si es que las hay. Un diseño hecho por y para los 'no diseñadores'. Un arquitecto que pretende ser un diseñador gráfico que pretende ser un montador de video que pretende vivir de ello en Berlin.

Y que cuelga sus trabajos hasta ahora en la web.

Si tienes proyectos que puedan encajar en estas premisas, o si tienes comentarios, por favor ponte en contacto.

Caballeros, vamos a dediseñar.

bordeaux report

Urban research carried out by Cohabitation Strategies in the frame of the Évento 2011 art biennale in Bordeaux, France, with Michelangelo Pistoletto as the art director. The aim was the creation of a publication that would guide and inform the artists invited to the biennale, come together under the motto ‘L’art pour une re-évolution urbaine’ (‘Art towards a urban revolution’). Some of the main topics adressed were the status and future of social housing in France, gentrification processes triggered by urban renewal projects and the climate of competition between cities in the logic of neoliberal urbanization.

The research was carried out by a team based in Bordeaux with Carlos García-Sancho (architect), Floriane Arrijuria Minaberry (urban sociologist), Guillermo Delgado (architect), Fanny Liatard (urbanist/politologist), Anne-Cécile Paredes (photographer), Emmanuelle Roussilhes-Pouchet (urban sociologist). The research was guided and supervised by Lucia Babina, Emiliano Gandolfi, Gabriela Rendon and Miguel Robles-Durán.

ecatepec: media maps

Part of the research carried by the Urban Asymmetries group in Ecatepec, Mexico City as part of the graduation project was a series of interviews and video shots of the conditions present in the site. This media showed as a perfect tool to show the views and standpoints of the different players, and the conflicts that were generated.
Five clips of about five minutes each have been created and used for several presentations (including the graduation). There is a project to create a 30 min documentary about the work carried out by the Urban Asymmetries group in Ecatepec.

The architectural and urban projects were published in the book “Urban Asymmetries. Studies and Projects on Neoliberal Urbanization”, Ed. Tahl Kaminer, Miguel Robles-Dúran, Heidi Sohn, 010 Publishers, Rotterdam, 2011.

camp metropolità

Urban project to try to foresee and analyze the development that the Spanish high speed train (AVE) will bring when it builds a train station in La Secuita, Tarragona, a village of around 1 500 inhabitants between the rivaling cities of Tarragona and Reus.

keyword: space

Video piece trying to map a given space according to the three notions of space given by David Harvey in his text “Space as a keyword”. Under the supervision of Tahl Kaminer (TU Delft).

“Absolute space is fixed and we record or plan events within its frame. This is the space of Newton and Descartes (…). Space is relative in a double sense: that there are multiple geometries from which to choose and that the spatial frame depends crucially upon what it is being relativized and by whom. (…) It is impossible to understand space independent from time under this formulation and this mandates an important shift of language from space and time to space-time or space-temporality. The relational notion of space-time implies the idea of internal relations; external influences get internalized in specific processes or things through time (…). In a way, relational conceptions of space-time brings us to the point where mathematics, poetry and music converge if not merge.” [1]
