Metadata+[Josh Begley]

Metadata+ is an iPhone app designed to send users a notice every time aU.S. drone strike is reported in the news. Formerly known as Drones+, it

was rejected from the App Store five times due to “excessively

objectionable or crude content”, before being accepted by Apple in 2014.















Friction Atlas[www.frictionatlas.net]

Friction Atlas is an ongoing critical archive, where laws regulating

behaviours and gatherings in public spaces, sampled from different

contexts, are represented and collected. Always implicitly present in anypublic space, rules tend to be algorithmic, quantitative and invisible. They

are here made explicit and legible, through graphical devices. Full-scale

diagrams will be drawn in Athens. Through the engagement of the public,the dynamics of authority became not only visually, but also physically

discernible.

The Concrete Tent[campusincamps.ps]

The Concrete Tent is a gathering space for communal learning. It hosts

cultural activities, a working area and an open space for social meetings.

The urgency and idea of such a space has emerged in discussion on how

to materialize, to give architectural form to narrations and representationsof camps and refugees beyond the idea of poverty, marginalization and

victimization. The project tries to inhabit the paradox of how to preserve

the very idea of the tent as symbolic and historical value. The re-creationof a tent made of concrete today is an attempt to preserve the cultural and

symbolic importance of this archetype for the narration of the Nakba, but

at the same time engage the present political condition of exile.

Retreatwith Malkit Shoshan, and Marina Otero

Retreat is a lexicon which investigates the idea of retreat, its strategies

and imaginaries, through others’ words as it informs contemporary spatial

paradigms. Citing the testimony of a woman living in in an area under

constant threat of predator drones attacks in Pakistan, the project

describes “step-by-step a process of retreat from the civic realm:” aretreat from daily activities and social and economical gatherings,

including market shopping, festivities and ceremonies or attending

schools, and eventually leading to a retreat from her own home.















Vocabulary of HospitalityMerve Bedir

War and conflicts are some of the most negative realities faced by

humankind. In order to annihilate these negative concepts, peace

missions, reconstruction operations and international law have beendeveloped as tools to create stability and peace. In this context,

Vocabulary of Hospitality focuses on another problem of war and conflict:refugees and asylum seekers. Based on Jacques Derrida's text on

hospitality research on spatial language and investigates the cultural, legal

and social suggestions on the word "guest" and its traces in the city.
