Evening Salon with Margaret Newman (Former Chief of Staff, NYC DOT) and Ivan Kucina (BINA) How to teach architecture? While cities generally invest less and less into culture, engaged cultural networks of urban activists and experts are growing. At the same time there is a huge difference between sought-after capitals in the West and cities in the “East.” Both want to attract active young people and to encourage investments. The question of the evening will be debated by guru of urban culture Ivan Kucina (co-founder of Belgrade International Week of Architecture, Serbia) and an active woman architect and now cultural director from New York, Margaret Newman who changed her position of a Former Chief of Staff at New York Transportation Department for Executive Director of the Municipal Art Society of New York.

Combining different formats and approaches, they share a common interest in testing urban visions and new constellations of actors. The traveling exhibition Weltstadt: Who Creates the City organized by Goethe Institute will in its premiere introduce a selection of the winning urban projects of the Weltstadt program. My Street Films goes reSITE My Street Films is a new project of the DAFilms.com online documentary portal initiated in collaboration with UK documentary festival Open City Docs Fest. It invites members of the general public to make their own short video of a street or place they know well from their personal, professional or study life. In an innovative way, the project interconnects the fields of film education and civil life, serving as an untraditional source of presentation of Czech cities and their inhabitants abroad. My Street Films in cooperation with reSITE will present 3 films about everyday, unexpected, forgotten and shocking stories of cities shot by usual people in love with the places they live in. The first presentation of these films can be seen at the reSITE festival. Think City / Urban strategies between control and laissez-faire (Paris, Lagos, London, Sao Paulo, Barcelona, Bilbao, Tehran, ZURICH, Copenhagen, Curibita) The exhibition project focuses on the contemporary approaches to strategic development. Regarding five main topics, dealing with the possibilities of planning, ways of managing cities, the temporal intentions of the city administration, the context of site and scale of interventions, we are looking for the reasons, why it is important to innovate the management and organizations of cities. A simultaneous balance between control and laissezfaire - between planning and spontaneous (uncontrolled) development - is demonstrated on examples from different cities (Curitiba, Copenhagen, Paris, Bilbao, Barcelona, Tehran, Zurich, Lagos, São Paulo).The exhibition is part of a long term project, with the aim to broaden the interdisciplinary discussion about a flexible planning of cities. The exhibition is following up the prepared book “Thinking the City: Between control and Laissez-faire”. Curator of the project: Lucie Stejskalová Co-operation: Marek Skoták, Žofie Raimanová, Vojtěch Rada The exhibition was supported by: Academy of Arts and Design in Prague, NCA Foundation, Ministry of Culture Czech Republic, Prague Institute of Planning and Development. 7 reSITE Program reSITE Program Exhibitions etc 19 - 20 / 06 where: Forum Karlín, Pernerova 652/55 when: whole conference Vision for mobility and public space Prague 2025 Vision for mobility and public space Prague 2025.

The Holzmarkt adventure started with Bar 25, one of Berlin’s most famous underground clubs Juval and his partners in crime founded in 2003. It quickly became a legendary venue, attracting movie director Quentin Tarantino and the likes to host their private parties there. Located in the midst of an urban redevelopment area Bar 25 had to close in 2010 to make way for the construction of exclusive penthouse apartments overlooking the river Spree. Quickly resistance to the dense and lifeless development of the riverbank organized itself, having its temporary peak in 2008 when 87% of the population of Friedrichshain Kreuzberg demanded a “Spree riverbank for all” in a citizenintiated referendum. Juval and his team aimed high and developed an alternative concept for the area: With the cooperative project for urban creativity Holzmarkt they managed to convince the Swiss pension fund Abendrot to provide the necessary funds to acquire the lot and in May 2013 the construction work officially kickedoff.

The Holzmarkt adventure started with Bar 25, one of Berlin’s most famous underground clubs Juval and his partners in crime founded in 2003. It quickly became a legendary venue, attracting movie director Quentin Tarantino and the likes to host their private parties there. Located in the midst of an urban redevelopment area Bar 25 had to close in 2010 to make way for the construction of exclusive penthouse apartments overlooking the river Spree. Quickly resistance to the dense and lifeless development of the riverbank organized itself, having its temporary peak in 2008 when 87% of the population of Friedrichshain Kreuzberg demanded a “Spree riverbank for all” in a citizenintiated referendum. Juval and Mario aimed high and developed an alternative concept for the area: With the cooperative project for urban creativity Holzmarkt they managed to convince the Swiss pension fund Abendrot to provide the necessary funds to acquire the lot and in May 2013 the construction work officially kickedoff.
