A ILHA DE S\u00c3O JORGE<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The exposition “Ilha de S\u00e3o Jorge” presented\u00a0hangar is a repositioning of the project presented at the Bienal de Arquitectura Veneza in 2014, a continuation of the projects “Beyond Entropy Angola”<\/strong> (2012) and “Luanda, Cidade Enciclop\u00e9dica”<\/strong> (Lunda, City Encyclopedia) (exposition awarded with the 2013 Le\u00e3o de Ouro the Bienal de Veneza<\/strong>).<\/em><\/p>\n

The island of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice, was virtually transformed into an extra-territorial island, the “Ilha de S\u00e3o Jorge” (Island of Saint George), enriching the specific theme of the Bienal de Arquitectura of 2014:”Absorbing Modernity 1914-214.<\/em><\/p>\n

Island of S\u00e3o Jorge is a reflection about the way that the modernity is\u00a0conceived, developed, constructed, inhabited, absorbed and at times rejected in 4 countries of Portuguese language: Angola, Cabo Verde, Guin\u00e9 Bissau, Mo\u00e7ambique, and S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9, and construct\u00a0a model of urban conditions that can drive new perspectives about urban development and architectural discourse in these regions.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the video “Uma Cabana” Suleimane Biai and Filipa C\u00e9sar imagine the construction of a building as an experience in a ritual for the articulation of memory and its inscription in the actual social and political context of Guin\u00e9 Bissau.\u00a0The film “Concrete Affectio” by Kiluaji Kia Hendra is inspired by the 1975 book “Another Day of Life” by the Polish writer Ryszard Kapu\u015bci\u0144ski. Kia Henda explores the emptiness of the city after the departure of the Portuguese, lending\u00a0visibility to the unique architecture of Luanda. \u00a0M\u00f3nica de Miranda’s video “Hotel Globo” tells the story of the Angolan diaspora and centers around a Modernist hotel located in the center of Luanda.\u00a0With “Mionga House” the artist Kwame Sousa and Ren\u00e9 Tavares explore the characteristics of the community of the south of the island S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9.\u00a0The project of Irineu Destourelles seeks to develop the relationship between the socio-cultural in constant evolution, the heritage constructed and the organization of the contemporary urban fabric of the city of Mindelo, Cabo Verde.\u00a0The films that compound “Journey to the Center of Capricorn” by Filipe Branquinho, Tiago Correia Paulo and Rui Tenreiro propose a poetic lecture and surrealist of the colonial and contemporary architecture of the city of Maputo, Mozambique.<\/p>\n

    BEYOND ENTROPY<\/p>\n

    Beyond Entropy was initially developed by Stefano Raboli Pansera in 2009 as a trans-disciplinary research endeavour at the Architectural Association, School of Architecture in London.\u00a0<\/span>Beyond Entropy is now an independent collaborative organization that operates at the global level with other public organizations, private institutions and government agencies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Beyond Entropy operates on the boundary\u00a0between art, architecture, and geopolitics and involves several diversified projects: from curatorial projects to art instillations, to\u00a0architectural presentations\u00a0 <\/span>and construction projects, to public discussions and public debates a well as printed publications.\u00a0<\/span>Beyond Entropy considers energy as a rhetoric of sustainability and questions pre-conceived notions to produce new ideas about the spaces we inhabit- our houses, our cities, our territories.\u00a0<\/span>Beyond Entropy operates a “holding” that encourages developments of each affiliated business, managed by a local partner.\u00a0Beyond Entropy Africa, launched\u00a0in Angola in 2012, is directed by Paula Nascimento. beyond Entropy Books, located in Italy, is directed by Tankboys.<\/p>\n

    Beyond Entropy considers energy as rhetoric of sustainability and questions pre-conceived notions to produce new ideas about the spaces we inhabit- our houses, our cities, our territories.\u00a0Energy is a conceptual tool used to conceive new architectural strategies that expose\u00a0space\u00a0<\/span>not as a fixed measurable entity but as a temporal coalescing of forces that are continually unfolding. <\/span>Research is articulated in terms of 4 concepts: entropy, form, energy, and space.\u00a0<\/span>Entropy is clearest notion of all: all seems to pass the state of order for the state of disorder. <\/span>Form is the beginning that renders reality intelligible, and with that, is meaning.\u00a0<\/span>Energy is a more abstract concept.\u00a0We don’t really know what it is, it shouldn’t be confused with electricity or reduced\u00a0to “force.” \u00a0It remains constant, never augmented or diminished.\u00a0Like energy, space is far from being a fixed entity that is quantifiable opposed to temporality; it requires development\u00a0and\u00a0it is in constant transformation.\u00a0And for that reason, it is impossible to separate space from its evolution in time.<\/p>\n
