What is ARGUS in 2010 ? 20 Dec 2009ARGUS 2010ARGUS is an independent architecture students organisation. Our first and foremost cause is to support students and the working professionals to connect and learn from each other.Contributors to ARGUS are all students of the Architecture Masters program at the Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology. Everything done by the students of ARGUS is on a voluntary bases and is not in any way part of the curriculum. ARGUS is a platform for student to organize extra-curricular activities that broaden and deepen the architecture profession, specifically the field that overlaps the area from the last year of study to first steps in architecture practice. Activities vary from lectures, workshop and exhibitions to study trips and publicizing our critique on our education and our Faculty and University. We support initiatives being submitted by students or professionals financially and facilitate lectures and excursions. Do you have a plan to see the Spa of Zumthor in real life? Or would you love to organise an excursion to any cool building on earth? But you need the contacts or cash? Or would you like to share your knowlegde or you can arrange an excursion but you need students to participate? Contact us by E-mail!

NvdF 2005 #1, March 17 - Luchtfietsers en Wereldverbeteraars: Fear and Space 20 Dec 2005ARGUS organizes the Night of Philosophy. As an architect you have to give your profession some content/meaning, or is it just plain creating spaces to function as dwelling or office? And if you aspire to noble goals, how should you succeed in living into it? By humanitarian design? By design and building durability? Creating spaces/writing essays and making people think about important issues,or, is it your goal by moving people with poetic beauty? How will you go forward as an architect if only you have just a little ambition to improve the world? Still there is the risk that you are just a dreamer. And… is that bad? Or should the architectural profession have ‘Wereldverbeteraar' as a sub title? What do you want from this world, what do you offer? Because this point of view is stil a very broad perspective we have narrowed it down to the experience of ‘fear and space’, and the interaction between the two, (as dealt with during the syposium fear & space on December 11th '04 in the NAi, as well as in the same-titled book), and more specifically narrowed down to 'samenzijn' and 'samenwonen'. Can architecture resolve social problems? Is our government using architecture as a spatial tool to create savety? Are architects key-figures in political configurations? Or are we free to tear down our onw house? The evening (roughly):
20:00 Doors and Bar open of the Stylos Pavilion
20:30 Introduction
First we will offer you a philosopical framework to deal with the
theme ‘fear and space’, starting with the ideas from the philosopher
Michael Foucoult. Our Speaker will be Patrick Healy.
After this the theme of fear and space will be dealt with through projects in the real world. 21:00 Part 1: Samenwonen
An architect will deal with dwelling, housing and community in a new sub-urb (like Vinex) through a built project.
22:00 Part 2: Samenleven
An architect will deal with society, public space and democracy in the (modern) city. Again by means of a built project.
23:00-04:00 Samen de Nacht in...
The setting of the night should be relaxed and inspiring for all
the participantss to listen, to think and to participate in the
conversation. The Stylos Pavilion will be hosting our night, and the
bar is open all night.
(the speakers will be anounced shortly) intrested? contact us! |

SUMMER WORKSHOP BEIRUT / 17 AUG-1 SEPTInternational and interdisciplinary summer workshop'Public space: a case study on the concept of public space in Lebanon' architecture, urban development, art, sociology and political science In a two weeks small-scale summer workshop in Beirut an (inter)national group of 25 students (15 Lebanese students from different universities and faculties in Lebanon and 10 international master-students, amongst others from Holland, Norway and Bosnia) will -together with 10 professionals (architecture, urban development, art, sociology and political science)- work on the concept of public space. Some lectures and debates will be open for a larger audience. The work shall identify, analyze formally and socially, and propose interventions and new programs for the nearly infinite number of derelict or marginal spaces along the old Lebanese railway. These terrains vagues, at many scales, from kilometers to centimeters, present a potential for territorial reassessment and cultural redefinition that will constitute a body of both research and action. These will be confronted by teams and individually in a series of very quick exercises and investigations. An experienced team of professionals and the Lebanese students will be the guides for the international team. FOR MORE INFO CHECK STUDIOBEIRUT.ORG |
