Fieldnotes #2 – “Handmade Urbanism” -> #HybridCity / #NetworkCity

We are participating with with the SUSTAINABLE DESIGN – Open Spaces in Lisbon International Conference + Summer School’2018 in Lisbon, being jointly run by Lisbon universities: ISCTE-IUL + ISA + IGOT. Yesterday was first Studio day. Here are field notes, from whatsapp group “orange group”, name still to be defined but the whatsapp group, from where the notes are shared, is called: #HybridLX – Network city. The idea is to share ideas in public realm, to help co-construct the city of the future, based on inputs of as many citizens who wish to participate…

There are 3 points shared:

1. #NetworkCity
2. Spanish Revolution, indignados 2011, Castells.. Network Society
3. Consumer / Spectator -> Active Participant

Bom dia amigas, aqui uma ferramenta para facilitar nossa co-construção de nosso projecto arquitectural… e, si tudo vá bem, a realização de esses sonhos até realidades na cidade, com as cidadãos na cidade… vamos la

#NetworkCity *

Estou trabalhando nessas coisas… arquitetura, activismo, ecologia urbana, hacking etc por algumas anos em zonas diferentes (escalas, cidades, situacoes etc diferentes…) vou mandar algumas ideas, o provocoes, para abrir mais profundo nosso dialogo e processo criativo…

1) #NetworkCity (cidade em rede – hybrid (digital e fisica juntos) – rede (network) – ecosistema )

#SocialEcology + #Confederalism offer a structure for possible future #Ecocities, more investigation needed into structures and flows, as #NetworkAge

Eu tenho coisas escritos online, muitos, quase tudos, em ingles, algumas en espanhol, e menus em portugues.. desculpe, nao e perfeito, é um pouco caotico (live time communication during “ruptures”.. ) Eu morrava no barcelona durante a revolta urbana “indignados” o “spanish revolution” la em 2011, e algumas coisas vem de esta momento… otros de acoes activistas do “climate camp” (campo de acao directa, por justicia climatica e social) em UK e irlanda..

Esta imagem e parte de minha tesis mestrado (curitiba, brazil, 2018) – o imagem principal e de um artigo super super util e forte..

Whats all this Climate Camp stuff then?

2) Spanish Revolution, indignados 2011, Castells.. Network Society

Manuel Castells é um das esctitores mais importante sobre REDE (network) “network society”.. ele morrava em barcelona é ainda bem ligado com os movimentos socias pos-capitalista la, local e global.. aqui o video de el falando durante nossa ocupação…

Manuel Castells en #acampadabcn (I)

El sociólogo Manuel Castells en #acampadabcn (27/05/2011), Plaza de Cataluña. Charla titulada “Comunicación, poder y democracia”.

Celebrated author, sociologist, network theorist etc… Manuel Castells was in the camp after the attack, he wrote an excellent article about the movement, which has been translated by hugh green here: Castells on #wikiacampadas: going slow because they’re going far

Spanish Revolution 2011 – What would it mean if this happened in Entracampos, Lisbon, in 2018?

3) Consumer / Spectator -> Active Participant

(como e onde? – digital e fisical sempre juntos, em realidad fractal)

Sobre a mudança de consumador / espectador (basis de realidad capitalista) até participante activo (pos capitalista e ecological)..

Regarding what structures and processes can facilitate such a reality; this dissertation examined Municipalist, Confederalist, Communalist solutions. From theory developed over decades by Murray Bookchin and Social Ecology activists, to the lived realities of the Kurdish anti-capitalist and feminist society being constructed in Rojava in war torn northern Syria, to the evolving experiments currently happening in the 8 “Rebel Cities” of Spain. Diverse projects that claim to be building a truly democratic feminist revolution. With power structures challenged and civic institutions opened up, allowing for, inviting and accommodating Active Citizenry: Society can be structured politically in a fractal like fashion, with decisions moving upward from the local to the global: from communities in the streets, to neighbourhoods, region, city, Bioregion. Building on GENs existing structures, an Ecocity network would consist of communities within communities; a confederation of clusters of ecological neighbourhoods, communicating with each other non-hierarchically, organizing both horizontally and vertically through local assemblies. Any node within the structure is both local and global at all times, with attention payed to dynamics of participation to ensure equality is paramount. In this way, all citizens co-create the cities of the futures, from the bottom up; city planning becomes a community facilitation process.

The term #SustainableCities was of its time, but no longer encapsulates all issues a city must face, hence use of term #ecocities
