Dynamic Cities – Ciudades Dinámicas: Una propuesta simbólica para un mundo caótico

Within the cultural activities of the 15th Venice Biennale - Architecture Exhibition (2016) figures the program "Time, Space, Existence" to which has been invited the Professor of the University of Alicante Joaquin Alvado Banon with an installation entitled Dynamic Cities . This Assembly fits into the series of exhibitions of the European Cultural Center within the Bembo Palace. It is displayed a model of two dimensions (and a video) with a suitcase opened in all caps, executed with a casting metal and showing the luggage: a total of twelve tables of natural stone of different sizes and formats rectangular of edges curved. The result is a collage of stone pieces pierced by their round holes that fit like pieces of a puzzle over a bar gear. According to the author, this proposal tries to show the instability of the world and, hence, of the cities and societies that inhabit it. He parts of the beginning of the "butterfly effect", which is at the origin of the theories of Chaos, and attempts to establish links between different variables for laying the foundations of innovation and understanding the city as a kinetic, not predictable agency as a mechanism, where the physical form is merely the support activities, energy and information flows. It is a conceptual approach to the city as an ecosystem abstracted into two elements: the vacuums and the dynamic system. The installation express symbolically the interaction between them spaces public and the architectures private as a metaphor of the History of the cities. It is a facility that committed by human beings, defined by its rational condition shown in his emotional condition and who accuse their social condition, condition that is favoured by the cities.
