  “Welcome to Rotterdam: The best not so good city in the world!” With a cocktail of famous architecture offices, benevolent institutions, intelligent think tanks, and abundant municipal infrastructure and resources, Rotterdam is subjected to a deluge of good intentions, contributing to the never-ending project – launched after the city’s near total destruction in the war – of establishing urban vibrancy. Recent acclaim for Rotterdam in the international press hints that it might just be starting to work. But the city’s accumulation of architectural icons, would-be icons, and different generations of ambitious urban thinking has had the paradoxical effect of flattening the experience of the city: its core ends up looking and feeling very normal. The focus of the AA Visiting School workshop will be this core – and the notion of the urban core generally. This is also the focus of official municipal attempts at invigoration. Over two weeks of intensive critical fieldwork we will ask: are they looking in the right place for action when they look at the core? What exactly are we looking at? And how do we even look properly, as architects? Directors: Jan Nauta James Westcott Juliana Muniz Westcott http://rotterdam.aaschool.ac.uk/ Show less

  Studio 10 will work on the boundary between Whitechapel and the City of London, immersing ourselves in the complexities and contradictions of one of London’s most socially, physically and spatially divided and distinct territories. Working simultaneously in the jurisdictions of Tower Hamlets and the Corporation of London, we will investigate, analyse, unravel and experiment with the myriad of social, economic, political and cultural forces that characterise and shape both areas. We will walk, cross, map and draw the boundary between Whitechapel and the City, dancing between the contradictory spatial conditions either side of the line. Engaging directly with the extremes of poverty and wealth; with ethnic minority communities and white-collar professionals; with London’s largest housing estates and the city’s tallest towers, we will test the potential of complex, layered and discreet spatial interventions to promote social and economic integration in the city. We will address the contradictions in employment and trade either side of the boundary, and develop composite spatial interventions at urban, architectural and 1.1 scales. We will analyse several prominent civic institutions in the area, and experiment with the potential for architectural interventions to stimulate new employment patterns through innovative forms of trade and exchange.

Public Occasion Agency

• London, United Kingdom

• Director

  • Jan 2010 - Feb 2013

  The independent event bureau 'Public Occasion Agency, the POA, was founded by Jan Nauta and Scrap Marshall at the Architectural Association in 2009. Set up as an agency - a practice that serves other practices - it aims to create audiences through cultural and intellectual transactions in the form of events: lectures, discussions, exhibitions, and workshops. The POA takes these events both seriously and light heartedly. In this form, far from abandoning architectural culture in search of other forms of engagement, in creating an audience from within, it stresses the importance of architecture as an independent practice that can interact, engage and provoke other disciplines. The forthcoming book ‘POA 1-22’ is part of the ongoing archive of the POA’s activities conducted from various sites and venues across London and beyond; taking in the internal confines of the Architectural Association, the ICA, the Barbican Art Gallery and the Venice Biennale. It takes the form of a collection of fragmented documents: previews, photographs, ephemera, reviews, reflections and opinions, collated from the last two years and the first twenty-two events. Critical and inquisitive, personal and probing the contributions from the many authors – audience members – from across fields and disciplines with varying agendas, proposing a withdrawal from idle commentary and shift towards a more productive form of participation.
