Summer School and Artistic Training on Rhythm (2018-2019)
In the period from August 2018 until February 2019, Open Set, in collaboration with a consortium of partners (see below) has taken the initiative to organize a new programme in design, art and humanities, that consists of a Summer School, a LAB and a series of seminar meetings. With its annual theme Fluid Rhythms, we explore how multiple entities — people, objects, plants, molecules or electromagnetic waves — and the interconnectedness of their rhythms constitute increasingly complex systems of urban and human bodies.
Our group of makers and thinkers will develop frameworks and interventions to discover the endless net of invisible, forgotten and dominating rhythms to unveil blind-spots, where the cohesion between rhythms is broken, observing moments of synchronization to imagine new ways of enhancing shared, inclusive cultures, and social and ecological well-being. Recognizing the ground-breaking potential of rhythm-led methodologies for art and design practice, Open Set purposefully draws together practitioners in the fields of arts and humanities, as well as residents, local activists and civil servants. -

SWAT-studio Amsterdam Zuidoost
SWAT will land in Amsterdam (NL) & Preston (UK) and work in collaboration with Municipalities, Universities and stakeholders to begin a process of urban design intervention and innovation at various city scales.
We will explore new insights and directions for the sustainable city by implementing a design methodology that embraces theoretical knowledge, technological merit, environmental effectiveness and more significantly - societal impact. In combination with a site analysis/mapping that reveals both site narrative and energy potentials, this method will generate concepts at various urban scales that are site-specific, eco-effective, technologically advanced and capable of detailed elaboration.
AIMS:
• To produce technological responses of merit informed by URBAN CONTEXT.
• To demonstrate that sustainable lifestyles are possible within existing cities.
OBJECTIVES:
• To advance the reading of sustainable solutions and technological concepts, and to realize these within existing and future urban neighbourhoods.
• To increase group interaction and studio culture through the mutual understanding of design proposals.
• To improve ALL types of communication skills.
