Submission #359 | Dana Barale Burdman: The Net Blvd — “The culture of the archive was produced by memory and destined to remain eternal. Currently, culture is based on a mutable process: the virtual is made up of representations and artificial simulations of the real, in real time. Everything is replicable, editable and expandable. The virtual derive-The new flâneur: The spaces are multiplied to be experienced online. Social networks redefine and restructure the physical space in which we move, our relationship with objects and with others.”

Submission #300 | Matteo Serra, Mirko Santoni, Andrea Ruggieri: Kaira Kora — “The Griot safeguards the community’s tradition that is conserved through the usage of the words. This poet’s tale is accompanied by an instrument called “Kora”. A sacred place should play a similar role and become the “Instrument of Worship”. The project’s aim lies in the belief that a single holy place can host different religions (muslims, catholics and animists), a single instrument able to emit different notes of a same chord, a peace’s harp: Kaira Kora.”

Submission #140 | Axel Alexander Olson:  The Chicago Watershed — "The Chicago Watershed Cultural Center is situated at a critical point along the main branch of the Chicago River and its Northern Riverwalk. In an initial study of the site's context, the sonic and luminous spaces of the alternating bridge-bay condition on the newly revitalized South Riverwalk revealed an inverse relationship between sound and light during the day and night."
