Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance: a play, opera, mime, ballet, etc., performed in a theatre, or on radio or television. Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's Poetics (c. 335 BC)—the earliest work of dramatic theory. The term "drama" comes from a Greek word meaning "deed" or "act" (Classical Greek: δρᾶμα, drâma), which is derived from "I do" (Classical Greek: δράω, dráō). The two masks associated with drama represent the traditional generic division between comedy and tragedy. In English (as was the analogous case in many other European languages), the word play or game (translating the Anglo-Saxon pleġan or Latin ludus) was the standard term for dramas until William Shakespeare's time—just as its creator was a play-maker rather than a dramatist and the building was a play-house rather than a theatre. The use of "drama" in a more narrow sense to

[Dé]dramatisation d’une corrala du Quartier de Lavapiés, Madrid

Lisa Virgillito

Typologie de logement social caractéristique de Madrid, les « corralas » se sont développées de manière chaotique dans le centre de la ville pour absorber l’explosion démographique entre le XVIIe et et XXe siècle. Les « cuartos », appartements d’environ 25m2 pour des familles entières, étaient organisés autour d’un patio central dans lequel, par tradition héritée des corrals de comédie du « Siglo d’Oro », des pièces de théâtre avaient lieu. La vie qui s’y déroulait était donc dramatique, tant par son insalubrité qu’au sens théâtral du terme. Au n°5 de la rue Amparo, une « corrala » construite en 1890, bordée par une parcelle vide, offre un site idéal pour optimiser ce modèle traditionnel et raviver cette activité scénique. Le projet se développe autour du patio originel: agrandi, il révèle l'intérieur du bâtiment existant et crée une place publique apte à accueillir à nouveau le théâtre et les passants curieux. Dans les étages, des appartements de formes et dimensions variées s’articulent autour d’une coursive en bois, extension du système constructif existant. Une bande de services s’y accroche pour puiser air et lumière et dessert les appartements ainsi libérés, dans lesquels les différents usagers peuvent créer leur propre décor. Familles, écrivain solitaire, troupe de comédiens, ou squatteurs « okupa »; le projet accueille une multiplicité de récits et cristallise la tension entre préservation du patrimoine architectural et adaptation à la diversité socioculturelle du quartier de Lavapiés.

Data Repository for Automated Metabolomics Administration (DRAMA)

Joana Raquel Pinto Vieira, Pierre Guy Rémy Salvy

DRAMA framework was primarily developed with the purpose of facilitating data integration into genome scale models (GEM) of cellular metabolism. The existence of differently annotated genome scale models and metabolomics datasets that are provided without generic metabolite identifiers (such as KEGG, SEED, or CHEBI ids) requires a community effort in order to come up with standardize ways for model and metabolomics automated annotation. Three such efforts that aim to uniquely identify metabolites and reactions through databases have been published [1-3]. Besides the problems regarding standardization of model annotation, the current methodologies available for the analysis of metabolic models require that a lot of manual work is performed in order to match the metabolomics data to the corresponding metabolites in the models when integrating this data into the model. This work can become easily cumbersome when one is manipulating many different datasets from different sources, where metabolite nomenclatures seldom match between data sources & GEM and identifiers are from different databases or not provided. DRAMA is built as a toolbox that aims to combine standardization of data & GEM annotation along with an integrative analysis framework which is independent of model curation.

AR-481: Architecture in the age of acceleration

This course proposes to investigate six strategies for architecture in the age of acceleration: Regionalism, Territoriality, Participation, Transformation, Commonality and Rationality. Anchoring these strategies in recent architectural history, it will explore their relevance for today's practice.

AR-340: Building technology V

Technologie du Bâti V aborde le bâtiment comme un système d'opérations techniques et culturelles invoquant des choix liés à l'environnement, au matériau, à la structure, et au montage. L'objectif du cours est d'amener les étudiants à acquérir des compétences sur la conception critique du bâtiment.

AR-154: Environmental history and theories I

Le cours vise a familiariser les etudiants avec l'histoire de l'environnement et des paysages, et avec la maniere dont les preoccupations environnementales amenent a repenser aujourd'hui le sens et les principes de l'architecture et des disciplines de projet.
