{ENG} Until now our (news)letters contained always some kind of reflection, they were more semi-public journals than places of news, letters to friends more than official information containers. But, because this summer, from now on, will be full of beautiful happenings, we decided to finally write a real newsletter (without putting the word news in brackets anymore!) trying to share with you our calendar for the next two months.
Today we will present to you the next events of our Academy of Margins, a learning platform that stimulates collaborative and discursive learning, based on intimacy and rootedness where the margins are not only the site but also the widely intended content of the Academy itself.
{ITA} Fino ad ora le nostre (news)letter contenevano riflessioni più che informazioni, erano dei diari semi-pubblici più che luoghi dove pubblicare le nostre ultime novità. Ma visto che questa estate, da ora in poi, sarà pienissima di eventi molto densi e ricchi, abbiamo decido di scrivere una vera newsletter (senza mettere la parola news tra parentesi) e condividere con voi il calendario di questi prossimi due mesi.
Oggi presentiamo qui il calendario relativo all'Accademia dei Margini,una piattaforma educativa che attraverso lezioni, conversazioni e laboratori stimola l'incontro tra teorie centrali e luoghi marginali e il rapporto tra autori rilevanti e una generazione più giovane che abitualmente li legge.
* We start with this word which – pronounced differently – has two beautiful meanings in Italian and English. In Italian it means “dear”, when addressing women.

Academy of Margins – July & August 2022
LUGLIO – JULY
Sylva
Sabato, 23.07 ore 20 in IZBA
Lezione di Sara Marini,
professore ordinario in Composizione architettonica e urbana, IUAV (Venezia)
Il ritorno della selva segna la riemersione di un nuovo senso dell’“arcaico”, di una ennesima commistione tra l’architettura e la terra, un connubio consapevole del conflitto tra ragione e perturbante, tra avventura e comfort, tra memorie di città e modalità di vita proprie del bosco. Il termine “selva” connota precise e concrete realtà e molteplici immaginari ma indica anche la possibile traiettoria del tempo futuro quanto il rivolgimento verso un passato lontanissimo: è una freccia la cui direzione stabilisce i connotati di un nuovo possibile contrat naturel.
La lezione concluderà una giornata di approfondimento sulle terre alte come luoghi di cultura e ricerca contemporanea, organizzata dalla cooperativa Cramars assieme a Robida.

What's in the air?
Friday, 05.08 h18 in IZBA
Conversation between Ola Korbańska and Franek Korbański,
student of Human Ecology, Lund University (Sweden)
We would like to invite the community and the guests of Topolò to join us in taking carbon dioxide removals as a starting point of an investigation into the imaginations of a decarbonised future. We want to come together and ask the question—‘what’s in the air?’ In the one that we are breathing in right now as well as in the one that we will be breathing in a decade, two, in a century? We are very excited to seek the answers together in Topolò.
Marginal materialities: the stories of placemaking
Saturday, 06.08 h18 in IZBA
A conversation between Pola Salicka, Marcin Liminowicz and Adam Przywara,
PhD Candidate in the Manchester Architecture Research Group at the University of Manchester
The materiality of architecture is an expression of a concrete relationship between humans and their environment: human-nature metabolism. Acknowledging that relationship allows us to think of architectural spaces beyond the abstract dualities of nature and culture, human and non-human, agency and matter. This event will be dedicated to learning, discussing, and operationalizing the concept of materiality and material metabolism in architectural design and place-making practices. The opening lecture will introduce the concepts and showcase the research on the materiality of architecture in the broader geographical and historical context. The following discussion and excursion around Topolò will position that knowledge in the local context.
Mystical ecologies
Tuesday + Wednesday, 16. + 17.08.
A two-day seminar with Michael Marder, Ikerbasque Research Professor of Philosophy at the University of the Basque Country, Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain)
In this intensive mini-seminar, Michael Marder will extend his line of research concerned with 'mystical ecologies' from the medieval Christian to the medieval Judaic tradition. In particular, we will discuss the way the Book of Zohar, the body of kabbalistic thought that emerged in Southern France and Southern Spain between 1100 and 1300, conceives the four classical elements: water, fire, air, and earth. Reconstructing the ecological vision that subtends this largely forgotten body of writings, we will come across a notion of divinity indistinguishable from questions of dwelling and exile, livability and sustainability, desire and sexual difference, distributed across the visible and the invisible cosmos.
The two-day seminar is FREE: If you are interested in taking part to it , please let us know and we'll give you additional info. You can write to us an email: robidamagazine@gmail.com or a message our IG profile
