"Framing Counterspaces: Forms and Meanings of Graffiti in Berlin's Linguistic Landscape"

Street art and graffiti are integral parts of Berlin’s urban space, which has undergone dramatic transformations in the past two decades. Graffiti texts constitute a critical comment on these urban transformations. This talk analyzes the connection between the phenomenon of street art and trajectories in urban planning in post-wall Berlin. My current research explores the meaning of various forms of street art (such as graffiti, posters, sticker art, stencils) as texts in Berlin’s linguistic landscape. Linguistic Landscape research pays critical attention to language, words, and images displayed and exposed in public spaces. The field of Linguistic Landscapes has only recently begun to include graffiti texts in analyses of text and space to fully comprehend the semiotics of the street. In the case of Germany’s capital, graffiti writing enters into a critical dialogue with the environment and provides a readable text to understand the city.

Arte urbano en el espacio expositivo : siglo XXI a través del análisis de seis modelos singulares

En la actualidad, museos y galerías de todo el mundo realizan exposiciones de un arte que tiene sus orígenes en el espacio urbano. El presente estudio muestra las estrategias posibles que tanto los artistas como las instituciones museológicas y comisarios han adoptado para mostrar el arte urbano en el espacio expositivo. Los objetivos son analizar a través de seis exposiciones llevadas a cabo en Europa, en el transcurso del siglo XXI, las características conceptuales, técnicas y formales para realizar una exposición de arte urbano, buscando la interconexión existente entre el lenguaje artístico propio de este arte y el lenguaje expositivo. Para ello se muestra un contexto histórico en el que se abordan los principales casos desarrollados a lo largo de la historia, orientado a crear una base a un movimiento que actualmente está en pleno auge. Se analiza también el papel adyacente del graffiti con el arte urbano, encontrando tanto grandes similitudes como diferencias, que han coexistido a lo largo de los años complementándose unas con otras, sea entre los artistas, en el espacio urbano y en el espacio expositivo. Bajo la emergencia de muestras de arte urbano en la actualidad, este estudio selecciona seis exposiciones que tuvieron lugar en instituciones europeas desde el 2008. La variedad entre ellas permite realizar un análisis rico en posibilidades, como en Street Art en la Tate Modern, una institución de gran relevancia a nivel internacional y con artistas referentes dentro del movimiento; en Banksy versus Bristol Museum, en la que el mediático y anónimo Banksy crea una muestra heterogénea; con Os Gêmeos en el Museu Berardo en Lisboa se presenta una exposición de uno de los grandes referentes del arte urbano en el mundo, o el Palais de Tokyo que presenta unos espacios propicios para la muestra de este tipo de arte bajo una serie de eventos desarrollados en una amplia línea temporal con una gran variedad de artistas; Lisboa, ciudad distinguida por su implicación con el arte urbano, presenta dos muestras importantes, una en la Fundação EDP-Museu da Electricidade con la figura emergente de Alexandre Farto, y otra en el MUDE con el significativo André Saraiva. Bajo la premisa de que todos estos artistas han desenvuelto o desenvuelven su trabajo en la calle, se estudia su relación con el lenguaje adaptado para el espacio expositivo. El objetivo desarrollado es la búsqueda de una esencia que permita sentir y apreciar el arte urbano en todos sus contenidos, sea formal, técnica o conceptualmente, reflexionando acerca de la naturaleza del mismo para así realizar la complicada descontextualización de presentar un arte en un espacio ajeno a sus raíces. Tras el análisis de las exposiciones, se observan varias formas de abordar la inclusión en el museo, categorizándolas en exposiciones individuales, colectivas, históricas y temáticas, creando cuatro líneas curatoriales. Desde la perspectiva de las estrategias creativas analizadas en las exposiciones, se observan diferentes recursos tanto por parte de los artistas como de las instituciones para introducir el arte urbano en el contexto museológico, encontrando aspectos que coexisten dentro y fuera del espacio expositivo. Además, el estudio examina cómo a lo largo de la historia hubo un intento de aproximación e inclusión del arte popular al espacio expositivo, lo cual desenvolvió un camino para la institución museológica actual, que debe defender un servicio y un compromiso con la sociedad bajo la actual demanda de un público interesado en el arte urbano

Public space for street-scape theatrics : guerrilla spatial tactics and methods of urban hacking in Brisbane, Australia

It could be argued that architecture has an inherent social responsibility to enrich the urban and spatial environments for the city’s occupants. However how we define quality, and how ‘places’ can be designed to be fair and equitable, catering for individuals on a humanistic and psychological level, is often not clearly addressed. Lefebvre discusses the idea of the ‘right to the city’; the belief that public space design should facilitate freedom of expression and incite a sense of spatial ownership for its occupants in public/commercial precincts. Lefebvre also points out the importance of sensory experience in the urban environment. “Street-scape theatrics” are performative activities that summarise these two concepts, advocating the ‘right to the city’ by way of art as well as providing sensual engagement for city users. Literature discusses the importance of Street-scape Theatrics however few sources attempt to discuss this topic in terms of how to design these spaces/places to enhance the city on both a sensory and political level. This research, grounded in political theory, investigates the case of street music, in particular busking, in the city of Brisbane, Australia. Street culture is a notion that already exists in Brisbane, but it is heavily controlled especially in central locations. The study discusses how sensory experience of the urban environment in Brisbane can be enriched through the design for busking; multiple case studies, interviews, observations and thematic mappings provide data to gather an understanding of how street performers see and understand the built form. Results are sometime surprisingly incongruous with general assumptions in regards to street artist as well as the established political and ideological framework, supporting the idea that the best and most effective way of urban hacking is working within the system. Ultimately, it was found that the Central Business District in Brisbane, Australia, could adopt certain political and design tactics which attempt to reconcile systematic quality control with freedom of expression into the public/commercial sphere, realism upheld. This can bridge the gap between the micro scale of the body and the macro of the political economy through freedom of expression, thus celebrating the idiosyncratic nature of the city.

A benchmark for numerical scheme validation of airborne particle exposure in street canyons

Measurements of particle concentrations and distributions in terms of number, surface area, and mass were performed simultaneously at eight sampling points within a symmetric street canyon of an Italian city. The aim was to obtain a useful benchmark for validation of wind tunnel experiments and numerical schemes: to this purpose, the influence of wind directions and speeds was considered. Particle number concentrations (PNCs) were higher on the leeward side than the windward side of the street canyon due to the wind vortex effect. Different vertical PNC profiles were observed between the two canyon sides depending on the wind direction and speed at roof level. A decrease in particle concentrations was observed with increasing rooftop wind speed, except for the coarse fraction indicating a possible particle resuspension due to the traffic and wind motion. This study confirms that particle concentration fields in urban street canyons are strongly influenced by traffic emissions and meteorological parameters, especially wind direction and speed.
