En el marco de la Bienal de Ramal (Bienal de Riwaq- Qalandiya International 2012), tendrá lugar un simposio sobre Arquitectura, Modernidad y Vida Urbana en el Mundo Árabe, organizado por la Unesco, el Ayuntamiento de Ramala, la Universidad Columbia y otros instituciones, del 4 al 7 de noviembre, con dos sedes sucesivas, en Ramala (Palestina) y en Jordania (Amann).
Parece que la vida en arquitectura se retira de Europa y, en menor grado, los Estados Unidos.
El texto de presentación del congreso explica:
The symposium Modernity, Architecture and Urban Life in the Arab Region from November 4th to 7th in Ramallah and Amman is part of the 4th Riwaq Biennale and Qalandia International 2012, and is organized by Riwaq and GSAPP's Amman Lab at the Columbia Global Centers | Middle East, in partnership with Turath: Architecture and Urban Design Consultants.
This event will spark dialogue between the various studies conducted on Modernity in Arab cities. A step towards a regional mapping of local narratives of modern architecture in the region, this symposium facilitates an understanding of the links and ruptures within the modern architectural and urban transformations of various Middle Eastern cities. How do architectural modern representations in cities such as Amman, Baghdad, Beirut, Ramallah or Cairo from the mid-20th century redefine the singular or universal notion of Modernity? And how are such representations emerging today in contemporary architecture in Arab cities creating a stage for a new modern architectural language that is responsive to its social, economical and political context?
