EMILIO SAKRAYA? Não! É apenas ALEXANDER SCHWARZ, ele é filho de ATENA do chalé 6 e tem VINTE E SETE ANOS. A TV Hefesto informa no guia de programação que ele está no NÍVEL III por estar no Acampamento há QUINZE ANOS, sabia? E se lá estiver certo, ZANDER é bastante DETERMINADO mas também dizem que ele é ORGULHOSO. Mas você sabe como Hefesto é, sempre inventando fake news pra atrair audiência.

B I O G R A F I A 

Friedrich Schwarz é um arquiteto renomado e visionário que projetou alguns dos edifícios mais emblemáticos do mundo. Ele é amplamente conhecido por sua criatividade, paixão pela sustentabilidade e seu compromisso em criar espaços que inspirem as pessoas. Nascido em uma família bem sucedida na Alemanha, se interessou pela arte e pelo design desde cedo. Estudou arquitetura na Technische Universität Berlin e, após se formar, trabalhou em diversos escritórios de arquitetura renomados até finalmente fundar sua própria empresa, chamada IdeenHaus, com o objetivo de criar espaços que sejam ao mesmo tempo bonitos e funcionais.

E não foi só na vida profissional que o senhor Schwarz prosperou: três anos após ter fundado a IdeenHaus, casou-se e teve três lindos filhos. Ou melhor, foi assim que pensou até o fatídico dia em que recebeu uma ligação que mudou sua vida. A voz da secretária, sempre serena e eficiente, soou diferente ao telefone: "Ér… Sr. Schwarz? Há um bebê aqui na recepção. Uma carta o acompanha."

Friedrich, intrigado e um tanto perplexo, correu até a recepção da empresa. Lá, encontrou um bebê adormecido em um cesto, ao lado de um envelope branco. Com as mãos trêmulas, ele abriu a carta e seus olhos se arregalaram ao ler as palavras escritas em caligrafia elegante. O que ele faria com essa criança inesperada em sua vida? A carta a qual acompanhava o bebê continha algumas instruções, mas sua mente sempre voltada para soluções não foi capaz de traçar um plano. Deixou o bebê sob os cuidados da secretária durante todo o dia e, quando retornou para casa com o suposto filho, não foi tão bem recebido assim pela esposa. 

Obviamente ele não poderia abandonar o filho porque isso seria o mesmo que colocar um alvo nas costas da indefesa criança. Entre muitas brigas e discussões, conseguiu ficar com o garoto até os doze anos, idade com a qual, segundo as informações contidas na carta deixada para ele, era permitido ingressar no tal Acampamento Meio-Sangue. Desta forma, seu filho Alexander iria morar com uns tios em Nova Iorque e, durante o período de férias escolares, passaria um tempo no Acampamento para treinar suas habilidades.

Quando chegou ao lugar destinado aos semideuses, levou aproximadamente dois meses para ser reconhecido por sua mãe e, honestamente, se questionava o porquê demorou tanto para a deusa da sabedoria se pronunciar. Foram longos dias de treinamento árduo e, durante a transição para o nível três, Zander acreditou por um momento que ficaria para sempre no segundo nível. No entanto, tal dificuldade lhe serviu como inspiração para iniciar uma profissão no mundo mortal como personal trainer. Desta forma, estaria cada vez mais focado em aumentar sua força e resistência, consequentemente lhe preparando para enfrentar os desafios que viriam pela frente.

Hoje em dia, Alexander mantém uma frequência baixa de correspondência com o pai, mas eles ainda se falam. Apesar dele não ter seguido no ramo da família, o homem se orgulha pelo filho ter conseguido conciliar bem uma vida “normal” com seus deveres de semideus. Todas as vezes que eles se despedem, Friedrich encerra o contato com um carinhoso: por favor, se mantenha vivo. Zander estava na academia mortal quando recebeu a mensagem de Dionísio e, apesar de ser contra a sua vontade, sequer pestanejou antes de retornar ao Acampamento.

P O D E R E S 

Visão Estratégica: Desvendando os Segredos do Campo de Batalha

A Visão Estratégica é uma habilidade formidável que transforma Alexander em um estrategista excepcional, capaz de analisar o campo de batalha com uma mente afiada e tomar decisões precisas que auxiliam na vitória. Essa habilidade se manifesta em diferentes níveis, desde a percepção aguçada até a capacidade de identificar oportunidades e explorar fraquezas inimigas.

Θεία Κρίση (Theia Krisi): Uma espada imponente e elegante, forjada em ferro estígio, um metal lendário conhecido por sua força e resistência contra monstros. Seu cabo é feito de madeira de carvalho, esculpido com intrincados desenhos que lembram folhas de oliveira, símbolo da paz e da sabedoria. A lâmina, afiada como um raio, possui um brilho metálico que cintila à luz do sol, enquanto uma leve aura azulada emana de sua superfície, um sinal do poder divino que reside em seu interior. 

Essa arma foi forjada por Hefesto, o deus ferreiro, a pedido de Atena, deusa da sabedoria e da guerra. Ela foi presenteada a seu filho em sua primeira missão como um símbolo de sua proteção e poder. Desde então, a Espada acompanhou o semideus em suas aventuras, defendendo-o de inúmeros monstros e inimigos. Quando não está em uso, a arma se transforma em um bracelete elegante e discreto, feito do mesmo ferro estígio da lâmina que se encaixa perfeitamente no pulso e possui os mesmos detalhes da espada.

Alexander sempre demonstrou um talento nato para o planejamento e a resolução de problemas complexos. A prova de inteligência estratégica era árdua e exigia muito mais do que apenas conhecimento. Ele precisava pensar de forma criativa, analisar cenários complexos e tomar decisões sob pressão, por isso, se dedicou de corpo e alma à tarefa. Ao final da prova, Zander esperava ansiosamente pelo sinal de Atena. E então, para sua imensa alegria, uma coruja majestosa pousou em seu ombro, confirmando sua aprovação. A partir desse dia, Alexander dedica-se incansavelmente à sua nova função, estudando sempre que pode sobre táticas de guerra, estratégias de combate e a arte da liderança. 

Sendo assim, ele faz parte do grupo dos Estrategistas e, como esporte, também pratica escalada individualmente.

Asteroid that impacted near Berlin identified as a rare Aubrite

Jenniskens’ collaborators at the Museum für Naturkunde officially announced that the first examinations of one of these pieces with an electron beam microprobe prove the typical mineralogy and chemical composition of an achondrite of the aubrite type

The official classification now aligns with what many suspected from merely looking at the images of the strange meteorites that fell near Berlin on January 21, 2024. They belong to a rare group called “aubrites”.

“They were devilishly difficult to find because, from a distance, they look like other rocks on Earth,” said SETI Institute meteor astronomer Dr. Peter Jenniskens. “Close up, not so much.”

Jenniskens traveled from San Francisco to Berlin to search the fields just south of the village of Ribbeck with Museum für Naturkunde (MfN) researcher Dr. Lutz Hecht, guiding a team of students and staff from the MfN, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Deutches zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt, and the Technische Universität Berlin in the days following the fall.

“Even with superb directions by meteor astronomers Drs. Pavel Spurný, Jiří Borovička and Lukáš Shrbený of the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, who calculated how the strong winds blew the meteorites, and predicted that these could be rare enstatite-rich meteorites based on the light emitted by the fireball, our search team initially could not easily spot them on the ground,” said Jenniskens.

Unlike other meteorites which have a thin crust of black glass from atmospheric heat, these meteorites have a mostly translucent glass crust.

“We only spotted the meteorites after a Polish team of meteorite hunters had identified the first find and could show us what to look for,” said Jenniskens. “After that, our first finds were made quickly by Freie Universität students Dominik Dieter and Cara Weihe.”

The meteorites are fragments of the small asteroid 2024 BX1, first spotted with a telescope at Konkoly Observatory in Hungary by astronomer Dr. Krisztián Sárneczky, tracked and then predicted to impact Earth’s atmosphere by NASA’s Scout and ESA’s Meerkat Asteroid Guard impact hazard assessment systems, with Davide Farnocchia of JPL/Caltech providing frequent trajectory updates, and finally causing a bright fireball that was seen and filmed. This was Jenniskens’ fourth guided recovery of such a small asteroid impact, following a 2008 impact in Sudan, a 2018 impact in Botswana, and a 2023 impact in France.

Today, Jenniskens’ collaborators at the Museum für Naturkunde officially announced that the first examinations of one of these pieces with an electron beam microprobe prove the typical mineralogy and chemical composition of an achondrite of the aubrite type. This result was submitted to the International Nomenclature Commission of the Meteoritical Society on February 2, 2024, for examination and confirmation.

The name of the meteorite comes from the village of Aubrés in France, where a similar meteorite fell on September 14, 1836. The museum has a fragment of that in the collection.

“Based on this evidence, we were able to make a rough classification relatively quickly,” said Dr. Ansgar Greshake, scientific head of the museum's meteorite collection. “This underlines the immense importance of collections for research. So far, there is only material from eleven other observed falls of this type in meteorite collections worldwide.”

“Aubrites do not look like what people generally imagine meteorites to look like. Aubrites look more like a gray granite and consist mainly of the magnesium silicates enstatite and forsterite,” said Christopher Hamann from the Museum für Naturkunde, who was involved in the initial classification and took part in the search. “It contains hardly any iron and the glassy crust, which is usually a good way to recognize meteorites, looks completely different than that of most other meteorites. Aubrites are therefore difficult to detect in the field.”

About the SETI Institute Founded in 1984, the SETI Institute is a non-profit, multi-disciplinary research and education organization whose mission is to lead humanity’s quest to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the Universe and to share that knowledge with the world.

“Sehnsüchte, Prozessstufe II” by Linda Weiß Part of the exhibition “etwa faustgroß” Villa Merkel, November 11–27, 2022 

Weiß’s work asks if it is possible to think productively, to create with sugar cycles of ecological systems that are yet still dependent on the massive global sugar industry and all of its attendant historical baggage. The show is in part about the aesthetic, ecological, social, and political possibilities of largely DIY processes like fermentation, for example. Here used as one that converts sugar into cellular energy, it operates as both metaphor and material biological process, in what Lauren Fournier describes in Fermenting Feminism as a “symbiosis between species and coevolution, accessibility and bioavailability, conservation and transformation, future and survival… and finally to the reduction of damage and care.” According to Fournier, fermentation can be understood as a feminist or queer practice; fermenting methods in life and in art draw attention to ecological relations as well as ways of caring for other kin, to the vast variation of the temporalities of life, and to humanity’s bacterial ancestors. 

Weiß’s work stages a digestive aesthetics that pushes us to think about the possibly queer politics of digestion (as Ramzi Fawaz explores elsewhere) through the specific ways in which sugar moves and transforms in different systems and for different functions. Drawing on contemporary theoretical works on feminist theory, plants and weird fungal life, and speculative fictions, Weiß’s focus on certain biological conversions of sugar not only points toward possible clean energy alternatives (we’re not there yet, the work acknowledges this with its dependence on a small lithium battery for power) but also requires that visitors acknowledge their own co-dependencies and how those substances are produced and circulated. 

Sehnsüchte: in English, longings, but it’s a word known for its impossibility to translate exactly. With etymological origins in the words for yearning (das Sehnen) and addiction (die Sucht) the title of Weiß’s show asks us to dwell in the sticky space between both. Sugar seduces, yes, but is nonhuman nourishment here as well, a substance that crosses the species divide or blurs it, a link between complex biological organisms in symbiotic relation. Text by Alison Sperling Alison Sperling is an IPODI Postdoctoral Fellow at the Technische Universität Berlin where she works on queer and feminist theory, science fiction, and the Anthropocene.

No, Hedy Lamarr did not ‘make’ Wi-Fi

Kimberly Moravec debunks a meme.

There’s a grain of truth in it—but only a grain. Lamarr is co-author of a patent for fundamental technology that somewhat resembles techniques used in early versions of Wi-Fi. But the resemblance is only superficial, and the technique had been theorized, and patented, multiple times before.

To be fair, it sounds quite plausible. Recent re-assessments of history have revealed that the contributions of scientists like astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell and chemist Rosalind Franklin were frequently undervalued. But it doesn’t follow that every woman’s contribution to science was undervalued. Hedy Lamarr’s exaggerated contribution to Wi-Fi is a particular case in point.

The comments section under the Facebook meme is a depressing place; facts are few and emotions are high. Unfounded claims about what she invented abound (“And sonar!” “And cell phones!”), and detailed attempts to set the record straight are attacked (“Is the term “mansplainer” new to you?” “…no one wants to hear his white guy rescue of all their credit for everything…” “Sour grapes in a box.”).

But maybe consider this: I am a woman with a degree in electrical engineering and a PhD in information systems, I believe strongly in the value and promotion of women in STEM, I have evaluated the claims using original documents, and I am still saying Hedy Lamarr had almost nothing to do with Wi-Fi.

The unvarnished reality is this. With few exceptions, women’s historical contributions to science and technology are underwhelming. This is because the barriers (access to education, childcare, and fair pay) were overwhelming. It wasn’t that long ago that women were almost universally believed to be intellectually inferior men. I remember the tail end of those days pretty keenly, and am deeply thankful that public opinion has substantially changed since.

And there is more good news. If many of the barriers to participation are removed, it turns out that women can be brilliant at science and technology. Women my age and younger are now making good careers for themselves, and some of them are reaching the top of their fields.

Take Professor Anja Feldman of Technische Universität Berlin, for example, who won the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize and whose research articles have been cited nearly 20,000 times. Or Dr. Andrea Goldsmith of Stanford University, who has 70,000 citations and written three textbooks on wireless communications. Or Dina Papagiannaki, who is the Director of Engineering at Microsoft Azure.

These are just a few of the researchers and engineers in networking (the research area that includes Wi-Fi). Let’s not forget that there are even a few modern Hollywood actors with science degrees, like Danica McKellar (mathematics) and Mayim Bialik (neuroscience).

Women are brilliant at science and technology, and there is an abundance of evidence to support this fact. It isn’t necessary to spread lies about Golden-Age Hollywood movie stars to prove it.

Interview: Zuloark

Weltraum, a radio podcast about space on the jabbering Independent Coastal Radio NOR we hosted Juan Chacón, an architect, researcher and educator. He is the co-founder of the collective Zuloark (2001), which enables the open-source distribution of architectural and urban planning knowledge, a co-founder of the cooperative Zoohaus (2007) and part of the open-source network Inteligencias Colectivas (2010).

Since 2009, Juan has been researching community development models in Berlin. With Christina Serifi (Digital Architectuul Fellow 2020), he co-founded the Tirilab initiative, which explores intercultural heritage related to local technologies, gastronomy and cultural specialties of rural communities in northern Greece.

Juan taught as a member of zuloark and researcher at UDK in Berlin, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá, Technische Universität in Berlin and San Jorge University in Zaragoza. His work with zuloark and zoohaus has been exhibited in the MoMA in New York, the Akademie der Kunste in Berlin, the Lisbon Architecture Triennial and the Matadero Museum in Madrid, among others.

-

Zuloark is an open office for architecture and urbanism. You co-founded it in Madrid in 2001 and in 2010 expanded its headquarters to La Coruña, Berlin, Bologna, Athens and La Palma. What does open office mean?

Juan Chacón: For Zuloark the word open office is not really well defined.  Since our principle is based on belonging to the collective,  It means that the environment or the name is open to everyone for participation. Also the word open reflects open source, that’s why we use it to define ourselves. Of course, there are so many voices in the collective and each one is defined in a different way.

What is its approach?

JC: First of all we will need to define what it means architecture. We can understand architecture as a built environment but you can understand architecture as a place where education happens and then spaces are created in different ways. The practice of architecture can unfold in different ways. 

F.U.A!! Imagina Madrid  (Zuloark +  Enrique Espinosa -Eeestudio- + David Cardenas + Lys Villalba + Juanito Jones), Madrid, Spain (2017-2018). | Photo © Javier de Paz García

In Zuloark we don’t close a definition of one type of architecture but we try to engage with architecture in different layers and ways. Therefore we develop projects in different scales, we engage different communities and agents, we are trying to involve different parts in our practices, all this to create better places in a more participatory way that engages more people in the design of it. 

In all these countries that I’ve mentioned? 

JC: In 2001 we founded Zuloark and in 2010 we expanded. We founded it while we were students and between 2008 and 2010, after finishing our studies, we started to professionalize the structure. In that period members started to move around Europe and elsewhere, so we found a way to adapt to its members. When a member moves in a city also the office moves there and starts to activate different networks.

In a way you also have an open structure of work?

JC: In the last ten years we have been trying to develop governance, forecasting and evaluation  systems and tools. We try to be strict in the way we organize, to benefit the participants and  projects that are common to everyone. This creates the independence of work with some guidelines and fixed points towards the collective in order that we can be all coordinated. This methodology intends to create a structure that allows flexibility but at the same time allows the collective to work as a network not as independent units.

Pavillion in CCE Malabo, IC Red Guinea (Zoohaus) , Equatorial Guinea (2015). | Photo © zoohaus

Zuloark involves tactical urbanism, participation, festivals and construction workshops in a DIY way. How do you involve users in architecture?

JC: We never use the word user. It doesn’t exist in our vocabulary. We always involve the group of people or community in the process of final design. We share the methodology of how we can build the place together. When we design for example a public square, we don’t think about how we will work with the users. We are going to be part of this square and of the group of people creating the place by itself. 

You co-founded the cooperative Zoohaus, which initiated the international practical research Collective Intelligences; what is the field of this research?

JC: Zoohaus is a wider network than Zuloark. It is a network launched in 2010 that tries to rephrase what we are doing. It was constituted in Madrid as a cultural association that engaged in cultural projects related to the public space. The idea is to engage and collaborate with networks all around the world based on intelligent design. We started to create a catalog where anybody can upload and contribute to its database their solutions. It is not organized by institutions but is coming from communities or individuals.

Zuloark has had an active involvement in academic contexts, teaching in Madrid, Berlin and Monterrey. What is based on your educational practice?  

JC: ...is based on ourselves. The most important educational process for Zuloark is Zuloark itself. We consider a collective as a kind of learning environment. We were always talking about the Vygotsky’s Zone of proximal development, a concept that explains how you can learn things by helping each other and creating environments of professional learning, where you can always engage with new skills. This is the core of Zuloark. The second thing started with educational models in collaboration with universities in a more punctual way, proposing workshops or formats that can take education out of the universities itself. Some of us engaged in a more formal way inside universities with an approach of situated knowledge, always learning about a specific case going out of the theoretical level and trying to create hands-on spaces.  

Aquí hay Dragones La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain (2020). | Photo © zuloark

How do you manage to fund your projects?

JC: The funding is very diverse, fifty percent are public coming from cultural institutions through grants and open calls, also applying for European funding. These funds are for self initiated projects. Other part is based on private commissions for clients, which want to be involved in participatory projects.   

Your collaborations include different collectives; how do you choose them and develop the working process?

JC: There are many levels, one of them is based on a daily basis collaboration where people have a regular income, then is a network of collaborators that have some collaborations during a year in some project and we define them as individual agents. We create a lot of partnerships with other entities to learn from. All collaborations are developing during a period of time so we can create some kind of trust among each other.       

Yesterday you said tomorrow Information Pavillion and 274 Benches (Zuloark + Tipi Studio + Alberto Rey), San Sebastian, Spain (2016).| Photo © zuloark

On what shall architecture focus in the future?

JC: On situated knowledge, waste, emissions, environment, society and social interactions.

Studying in Germany

Germany is the most popular non-Anglophone study destination, and the 4th most popular overall – only the US, UK, and Australia welcome more international students each year.

It’s a country characterized by variety. Trendy and modern, Berlin can seem a world away from the more traditional and conservative Munich. The gleaming skyscrapers of Frankfurt form a stark contrast to quaint Heidelberg. And if bustling and fast-paced Hamburg gets too much, you can always retreat to the peaceful and picturesque Middle Rhine region.

Universities: In terms of higher education, unis in Germany offer plenty of choice and include some of the most prestigious institutions in Europe. Germany’s overall highest ranked university in the QS World University Rankings is Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, followed by Technische Universität München. Beyond that, every major German city has at least one university ranked among the world’s best. A total of 17 German unis make the world’s top 250, the rest is included in the world’s top 650. This established Germany well within the world’s higher education elite. In addition to world-class universities, it offers a high quality of living, extensive support and scholarship schemes for international students, and decent post-graduation employment prospects.
