Tactical maneuvers stand in contrast to the carefully planned city and break the rules for short periods with unexpected, risky activities that inject the urban voids with new functions and meanings. The permanent form of the city and the temporary interventions in it, are what de Certeau call strategies and tactics. During the last years, are observed many actions aiming at the reappropriation of urban voids throughout Europe.
The question which is emerging from such a study is: How these actions can enhance the overall system, although are breaking the rules of the state? How can monotony rhythm of space-time be interrupted and, at the same time in communication with new tones of public life? In exploring these questions, this paper presents two cases: a series of practices implemented by the Atenistas group in the city of Athens, Greece and the appropriation of a lake in an abandoned factory in Rome, Italy. Atenistas, is a group that searches and identifies vacant or misused spaces. They have managed to implement a series of strategies in organizing and activating, not only the spaces as such but in terms of emerging the social network that will sustain and maintain these spaces. The second example is about an abandoned factory which bought by Antonio Pulcini, who intended to transform it to build a shopping center. During the constructions, an unidentified water source from which the water had covered the whole area was revealed. This condition provided the neighboring residents with the advantage to occupy and appropriate the space. Their actions eventually determined the lake’s future use in an agreement with the state. Both cases reflect how the spaces that disrupt the urban structure can be seen as fertile grounds for social regeneration through tactics, rather than one fixed plan.
This thesis aims at bringing new insights about the potentials of residual sites and their role in the development of modern city. It attempts to demonstrate how informal activities in urban voids can interrupt the monotonous continuity of the city bringing new social patterns and promoting a more creative continuity of the urban system which can enhance the social bonding whilst fostering the creation of meaningful social relations. These cases can offer lessons for other cities that wish to improve the public life of their urbanites through pauses enhancing at the same time the sense of wholeness. ]]>

Congrès et conférences - Architecture -- 20e siècle]]> Congrès et conférences - Musicologie -- 20e siècle]]> Continu (philosophie) ]]> Technically, in the inference transfer process, some selected content is brought forward from a source domain, mediated through a transfer frame, and then implied in the target domain. The validity, quality, and significance of the content in the target are dependent on the relevance of the relationship between itself and the content from the source. This activity can be frequently called an analogy, a metaphor, a homology, or a simile.

The primarily tool for thinking around an object, situation or application by the point of view of its potentially transfer principles is called first principles reduction. It is at the core of how information is moved between domains. The act of reduction begins to abstract an object or situation away from a particular disciplinary application to a more general statement. Once a general understanding of principles has been achieved, it is relatively easy to move those general principles across disciplines. The generic, generalized factors that are the result of a first principles reduction are not coded in any disciplinary language. They can be associated with a new domain and then expanded back to a particular application by applying deep discipline syntax.

As attested by Plowright, structure-mapping is a more intricate form of transfer through first principles reduction. In structure-mapping, the interest is in identifying strong relations between objects in a specific source domain in order to enrich the content of a target domain (architecture, music). A selected aspect of the source domain – which is a context, an event, or a situation – is ‘exploded’ into its component parts. This will include objects of the source domain, the attributes of those objects, and the relations between those objects. As explained by the author, the source frame holds content in its particular syntax, the transfer frame moves that content into general principles, and the target frame translates the general principles back to particular syntax but in a different domain of knowledge.

This paper proposes an analysis of the Xenakis compositional process through the inference-transfer methodology. In this aim we propose to analyze some works in which the composer has explicitly applied the transdisciplinarity between the musical and architectural domains in order to clarifies his process of thinking. ]]>

In this presentation I will present the structure of the polytope in space and time through a microstructure and macrostructure analysis; I will focus especially on Mycenae Alpha the the electronic piece that has been composed for this event and is based in microstructural sound design in UPIC environment (Polyagogie) through cloud and aborescences. The sound of Mycenae Alpha is the futuristic tool « par excellence » that bridges different events that happen in the "heterotopian" soundscape of Mycenae and thus highlights the cultural heritage of thousands of years through the perspective of a futuristic driven architecture organization in the field of audio, music, speech and natural soundscape.
