The eight teams that are participating in Alter Polis have eleven days
to produce a scale model (or representation) that is to formally
represent their proposal as a response to the assignment created by the
critics. Each team, once the established work period is over, will
explain their proposal in a public presentation. As part of this stage
of the project an open work session is being prepared by the name of
Conversations, in which the participating teams hold a conversation with
a guest theoretician who will direct the conference two Wednsdays every
month.

Alter
Polis has brought together eight teams of young architects which have
carried out different proposals regarding the relation between the
city, Utopia and humanism. Architects, critics, researchers and
collaborators comprise a work platform about the city as an entity
which can be researched from a humanist point of view. Once the
established period for the production and presentation of the eight
proposals of the Utopia city is over, on December 4 at 6 p.m. will be
held a meeting between the teams of architects, the critics and the
project's curator in which experiences will be shared and the distinct
proposals will be presented.

“What- or who- made
gargantuan monsters come to our cities? Cities have turned into their
natural habitat and also their main source of food; slowly, they
advance and transform our environment as they devour it. It soon was
clear that they were going to stay for a long time.

The inhuman cliché of a Utopian, humanist city.
During
the last century, a fascinating mass product emerged from the
techno-political “factories” which industrial societies have become:
“objective man”, homo humanus. In addition, during this first decade of
the 21st century, the producer, the product and the consumer are one
and the same, and coincide in the same place: the City (or better:
Mépolis, the No-City). His aseptic cleanliness, neo-functional
geometry, and global compartmentalization are the result of the
“scientific instinct”, which started by creating the mirror-man: for,
as opposed to a reflexive man, a scientist’s ideal would be to become
the faithful reflection of all that exists, leaving out almost nothing.
No one knows what something might be worth some day, so things must be
stored: classified, registered, filed; in sum, everything must be
measured according to the laws and conventions of the Market (the topos
encouraging today’s Utopias).
José Vidal Saavedra
presents an overview of various demolition systems as well as the
techniques used currently which explore and develop ways of recovering
built urban spaces saturated with architectural structures.
