16 May '23

We are pleased to remind you of today’s CUS Urban Dialogue - Book Launch, Tuesday 16th of May at 17:00. 16 May 17:00-18:00 CEST Zoom Link: https://uva-live.zoom.us/s/89655913343 CUS Urban Dialogue #14 – Book Launch: Transnational Architecture and Urbanism. Written by and Presenter: Davide Ponzini (TAU-Lab, PoliMI<https://cdn.uva.nl/1/5/1537/5/yQzWXSsPRVDvDxWnh7tF6cO8cUG-UpUYVl_-RQQVgwyFL…>) More information on the book here<https://cdn.uva.nl/1/5/1537/5/1vAg7QHQm0tUK3xJc5Lxe1nNz4JZw2idf-Xu5C6oE7WvM…>. Since the 1990s, increasingly multinational modes of urban planning and architectural design have arisen, especially concerning flagship projects, prominent buildings, and places. Drawing on his recent book titled “Transnational Architecture and Urbanism: Rethinking How Cities Plan, Transform, and Learn”, Davide Ponzini presents problematic issues such as the spectacularization of the urban environment and the global circulation of similar plans and projects. He shows how architects, planners, and policy makers can critically learn from practice, cope with these and other transnational issues, and put better planning in place. About the author: Davide Ponzini is a Full Professor of Urban Planning at Politecnico di Milano, and the director of the TAU-Lab. He has been a visiting scholar at Yale, Johns Hopkins, Columbia University, and Sciences Po and Visiting Professor at TU Munich. Co-editor (with Harvey Molotch) of the book The New Arab Urban and author of the book Transnational Architecture and Urbanism.

by Bertolini, Luca 27 Jun '20

27 Jun '20

Dear Urban Planning core group, is anybody interested in the request below? It seems a qualified candidate. However, she is too off my own thematic focus. If you are interested, let me know, make contact with her, nad take the process over. And if I don’t hear any of you by Tuesday, I will turn down the request. Best, Luca From: ezzatian <ezzatian_sh(a)alumni.ut.ac.ir> Sent: zaterdag 27 juni 2020 07:57 To: Bertolini, Luca <L.Bertolini(a)uva.nl> Subject: Application sabbatical at The University of Amsterdam as a visiting researcher Shohreh Ezzatian PhD Candidate in Urbanism University of Tehran, Iran Date: 27 June 2020 To:prof. dr. ir. L. (Luca) Bertolin Faculty of Social and Behavioural Science, Concordia University Application sabbatical at The University of Amsterdam as a visiting researcher My name is Shohreh Ezzatian and I am writing to apply for a short-term scholarship for a duration of 6 months in order to assist me throughout my time studying Urbanism at the University of Tehran. Due to my outstanding performance as a PhD student at the University of Tehran, I have got a scholarship as a visiting researcher which is financially supported by the University of Tehran to use in your university on Sep 2020. Currently, my main focus is on theoretical approach in urban design process based on collaborative planning theory. I have consistently proven throughout my previous studies and working experience that when presented with an opportunity; I will strive as hard as I can to best represent myself and reward those who have granted me a chance to prove such. This scholarship represents to me an opportunity to expand my knowledge and fully focus my attention on the main objective of achieving the best I can in identifying and measuring the effectiveness of collaborative designing process and the proposed new model of collaborative urban design process. I will strive to find an answer to the following: * How can collaborative planning theory help to explain collaborative urban design frameworks? * Which components of collaborative design process can be effective in decreasing of practical challenges in urban design? * What is the role of interactive participation of professions, authorities, stockholders, managers, citizens and other social activists in collaborative design process? During my undergraduate studies, I taught urban design at the University of Tehran and I also worked on several projects about participation process by children, investors and other stockholders. This opportunity made me eager to have a deep view in collaborative process in urban design and its mutual cohesion to stockholder’s ideas in collaborative urban design. My CV is attached additionally. Detailed information about my proposal is available should you require that. I thank you for taking the time to evaluate my application and I will be very grateful for your kind consideration. Sincerely, Shohreh Ezzatian

Zef's report from the POP meeting
by Kaika, Maria 13 May '20

13 May '20

Dear all Below please find a copy of Zef’s report on the POP meeting which took place this week @Tuna, do I remember correctly you are doing it next year? Please have a look at the date for next year’s meeting at the end of the email Many thanks to Zef for representing us! and for sending the report! With best wishes maria Zef’s report This afternoon we had a 90 minutes Zoom talk with eight professors, all being men. Jochen was leading the POP-discussion. To start with AESOP: Claudia Yamu from Groningen and Jochen from Utrecht will be the new Council representatives from the Netherlands. We had an exchange about Codiv 19 and the impact it has on our work. Their eagerness to learn more about our Amsterdam checklist on possible concerns of students, best practices and recommendations made them ask me for a copy. Is it alright if I send them? The biggest problem seems to be international masterstudents going back to their home country withouten finishing their thesis. Also design studios have been cancelled. One Chinese student studying in Utrecht has Corona. Doing research in these circumstances is not easy for most of us. For writing papers, thesisses or books though It is an excellent time for many. Jos Arts shared his experience that many PhDs are finishing their papers in less than due time (is that English?). Jochen raised a discussion about bachelor programs in Dutch. In Utrecht they skipped English and returned to the Dutch language. As a German he told us he is sad about that. Only in Groningen all the bachelor programms are still in English. Delft is bilingual. No discussion in Groningen they keep it English. Jochen chose for the Netherlands because of its openness to international influences. Next Pop meeting on Tuesday 17 November 2020 in Utrecht, 17-19 u. Tuna will represent us then? Best wishes, Zef
