ar2com

The category ar2com stands for architecture to communication. The posts are quite mixed with audio or video files, essays, interviews, artistic reactions or life reports.

ar = architecture and urbanism
com = communication < dance,
art, music, film, community spirit, etc.

The whole blog is filtered through my architect’s eyes and my singer’s ears and my artist’s soul. The posts are not always supposed to be straight and easy to digeste, but should give you an impulse to …. where ever you would like to go to.
I wish you an interesting journey!

If this is too theoretical for you or maybe you are just interested in some real architecture, you can visit the architecture firm website: ar2com – kommunikative architektur aus darmstadt.
The firm is offering projects in human scale in a global world. Its understanding of sustainability is based on culture and a good communication between site owner and architect, craft men and architect and of the future user should not be excluded in the process of designing and building.

You can find a visual overview on ar2com’s facebook page.

the ar2com-vimeo-channel offers a collection of videos who helped me to understand what is or can be ar2com.

If you still remember the story of RadioFavela is subtitled ‘Not assumable becomes consumable … becomes subsumable‘. The links here refer to RadioFavela’s website, where you can read the theoretical texts.

With the chapter ‘not assumable’ I tried to explain the situation in Rio (or in Megacities in general), you can listen to it again in the category RF01 – not assumable.
The middle part ‘RF02 – consumable‘ is any cultural production I had the chance to catch for you. This is definitely the most enjoyable part.

Now it becomes ‘subsumable’ which is my response to all what I have gone through here in Rio, which is a RadioProductionCentre in the carioca harbour zone. Within the next four podcasts you can follow step by step my understanding of the favela via the city to my RadioProductionCentre in a very high abstraction grade.


The diagram above illustrates the text you will listen to. For those who get the podcast via feed I added the image as cover.

The podcast is accomplished by a website in English and German, where you can find more information and photos – not in chronological but in content dued order.

Visit it at www.radiofavela.ar2com.de

Here you can listen to the podcasts of the RadioFavela-Project – categorized in three chapters:
Not assumable becomes consumable … becomes subsumable. Please notice that on the blog you will always start with the last posted podcast.

The project can be implanted in every megacity even though it is planned for Rio de Janeiro.
Could you imagine or even suggest other cities offering such a service like the RadioProductionCentre?

Besides RadioFavela the podcast ar2com features a lot of other cultural productivity from all over the world.
