May 14th 2010 [AA CITY CULTURES]
The city as a catalogue. Towards a user's manual.
Starting from the presentation of the just published Manual of Decolonization, Salottobuono will take part to a roundtable at the AA London – together with Pier Paolo Tamburelli, from Baukuh – addressing the issue of the contemporary city.
If we consider the city as a catalogue of architectural devices and functions, the manual can constitute the active counterpart of the catalogue: while the latter analyzes the urban fabric through the detection of its particular elements, the first one foresees new scenarios through the instructions on how to proceed on their basic stages. They share a common language and methodology and, because of this, they become bodies in communication. Within this perspective, analysis isn't anymore an essential preamble to design – different and detached from it –, but the project itself can become a fertile device for research.
The roundtable is part of the events organized within the AA City Culture Research Cluster, directed by Marina Lathouri.

April 1st 2010 [MANUAL OF DECOLONIZATION]
Salottobuono announces its first book.
Salottobuono just published Manual of Decolonization, a proper and real handbook for the transformation of the Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The book is the final layout of the research project initiated in 2008 within the frame of Decolonizing Architecture. It includes all the strategies conceived and designed for the architectural trasnformation of the Israeli settlement within the Occupied Territories of the West Bank, along with explanatory and theoretical texts about the methodology of the entire operation.
The book is available online here and in some of the best architectural bookshops in some cities in Europe and overseas. A complete list of them will be available soon on this website.
February 25th 2010 [LEAVING FOR L.A.!]
Salottobuono at UNPLANNED.
Salottobuono will exhibit the Manual of Decolonization at UNPLANNED: Research and Experiments at the Urban Scale, the first SUPERFRONT LA exhibit of 2010.
Just as the discipline of architecture faces a re-imagination of itself in this era of slow-motion global capitalism, the human population finds itself crossing the threshold to a predominantly urban existence. Many of the basic tenets underpinning urban planning – Cartesian geometry, programmatic taxonomy, contextualism – have been subject to skeptical investigation and rebellion in architecture throughout the past decade. Yet conventional urban planning continues, the discipline of urban planning operating much as it has since the 1960s (if not the 1860s). Leveraging an interdisciplinary focus, UNPLANNED: RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTS AT THE URBAN SCALE boldly presents a collection of radical methods for envisioning and producing space at the urban scale.
A group exhibit with more than twenty participants, UNPLANNED spans architecture, urban design, industrial design, conceptual art, and cartography to present an array of experimental work at the urban scale. Multi-disciplinary practitioners address emergent urbanism, “wild building”, and other alternatives to conventional urban planning. The exhibit is curated by SUPERFRONT Founder + Director Mitch McEwen with Associate Curator Cecilia Brock and Gallery Intern Jackie Koenig.
Work is exhibited in multiple formats, from physical models to drawings, animations, software applications, consumer products, and live film. Dealing with urban situations from derelict construction sites to refugee camps, favelas, temporary housing and other contemporary spatial phenomena, the exhibition confronts the current economic crises and larger issues of globalization.

The book features new possibilities for diagrams, maps, and charts and investigates the visual and intuitive presentation of processes and data. Eight comprehensive chapters illuminate how techniques such as simplification, abstraction, metaphor, and dramatization function. Data Flow 2 is a valuable reference offering practical advice, background, case studies, and inspiration".

Scenarios for the transformation of Israeli settlements.
Decolonizing Architecture takes part to the 11th International Istanbul Biennal. The installation "Returns", charts a wide field of political, social and cultural practices of return. Current returns are defined by attempts to navigate the complex relation between two places: the space of refuge and the place of origin.
The wall mounted "Manual of Decolonization" helps to investigate ways of returning that recognise, respond to, challenge and subvert the physical realities that have been created since the foundation of the state of Israel. Salottobuono designed several 'strategies of subversion' for Israeli residential settlements in the West Bank and included them in the "Manual of Decolonization": a generic toolbox for post-occupation scenarios. Through its modularity it creates the potential for architecture freed up by 'fragments of possibility', and through which current political terms for a 'solution' to the conflict are replaced by fluid and adaptable proposals.

The symposium "SLO ITA AUT DISCUSSIONS" is a series of events and discussions among three countries. After the presentation in Graz and Trieste the symposium will be concluded in Ljubljana on 13th March 2009 at the City Museum of Ljubljana. Six respected Austrian (Bramberger Architects, Graz; Yes Architects, Graz; Innocad Lila, Vienna) and Italian architecture studios (Metrogramma, Milan; Salottobuono, Venice; MAP, Venice) will introduce themselves by giving short lectures entitled "Let's dance".
The final discussion, where Slovene architects will also participate, will be led by the Italian theoretician Giovanni Damiani. The main subject will be the problem of contemporary architecture; they will try to find the answer to the question "How does the architecture sound in the times of recession? Is it lounge, electro or rock or should we invent a completely new category?"
The main purpose of the symposium is not just to present individual projects of Austrian and Italian architecture offices, but to exchange various interests, views and to present the productivity of respected younger architects of all three neighbour countries. These discussions open new possibilities for mutual cooperation between Slovenia, Austria and Italy regarding architecture, urbanism and culture.
