30TH SEPTEMBER, 1ST & 2 ND OCTOBER
The 6th European Landscape Biennial, entitled: liquid landscapes, will take place on the 30th September 1st and 2nd of October 2010 in Barcelona”. The Biennial is organized by the Association of Architects of Catalonia (COAC), the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Master’s Program in Landscape Architecture and the Association of Friends of the UPC), and the Department of Territorial Policy and Public Works (Architecture and Landscape Division) of the Autonomous Government of Catalonia.

Barcelona will open its doors to the Biennial of Landscape Architecture, which will be set at exceptional venues like the Palau de la Música Catalana, La Pedrera (Gaudí), the Col·legi d’Arquitectes and the Escola d’Arquitectura de Barcelona. The symposium will last three days and will include talks, presentations by the finalists of the Rosa Barba European Landscape Prize, round tables and exhibitions where it will be possible to track and discuss the evolution of landscape design in Europe and in this edition’s special guest territory: China.

]]> BAGNO On a visit to l´Aquila last week, the project site for the PAO.6 Experimental Architecture Summercamp in l´Aquila could be finally decided. After discussing with representatives of the local government and l´Aquila University, the new settlement of Bagno turned out to be the place.

INSTANT VILLAGE Bagno is one of a dozen new-built settlements in the outskirts of l´Aquila. After the earthquake in 2009, approx. 600 people from 4 destroyed villages were resettled to this “instant village”. Whereas people – who have lived during the last year in tents – have houses again, the new settlement (which consists of only 7 long rowhouses) is still lacking social infrastructures. Even though there is a clear need for an architectural enhancement (e.g. by a community center, a market place, parks and playground, meeting places for elderly and children, sports ground, landscaping etc.), the central task remains: How to establish a normal community life again?

DIY PROTOTYPING The PAO Session in l´Aquila will propose design and development schemes how the existing settlement can be architecturally improved with low budgets but high concepts. Participants will produce simple prototypes for DIY construction using the available technologies, skills, and materials. Here, local people shall be involved in order to trigger maximum social effect. The Bagno Project may present a model how l´Aquila´s post-earthquake settlements can be further developed into vital and sustaining neighbourhoods.

]]> After ten months of intense editing work, the new PAO Book is out! The massive near 600-pages volume with the promising title “MAKING TIME: MEMES OF POTOC” not only introduces the people, places and projects of the 6th PAO Summerschool in Potoc / Romania (2009), but puts forward a new method for how architectural and artistic work becomes a tool for cultural knowledge and understanding. The book presents how collective creativity can unearth so-called “Memes”, that is: the generic ideas inherent in a specific place. Eventually, the PAO works on the “Memes of Potoc” revealed an idea that has become a secret to modern man: How to make time.


The book can be ordered directly at paoproject@gmail.com or via local booksellers. ISBN 978-3-941298-65-1. Content: 594 pages, with more than 400 b/w images. Size: 150 x 100 mm. Price: € 14,90

]]> Here comes an announcement for the annual PAO Experimental Architecture Summercamp (6th edition since 2005). PAO also adresses landscape architects, planners, and designers. This year, two-week workshops will be held in two locations: 1) l´Aquila in Italy, 2) Potoc in Romania. Please find some information documents in the attachment: a flyer, an infotext, and the programmes for both workshops.

Last year, the travelling group of ELASA in Romania (~30 persons) had visited the PAO Workshop in Potoc – and obviously enjoyed. 
Without much planning ahead, we had ad hoc lectures, presentations, and bonfire parties together.

If you have a chance to distribute the invitation to PAO.6 workshops in your network, or post it on your webpage, we´d feel much obliged. 
With best regards from Dresden / Germany,
