PATTERNLANGUAGE – TO ACT AND IMPACT IN SPACE
for better living

For the 7th consecutive time get involved VII provides an international stage to architectural and built environment education for young people at the Architecture Biennale in Venice. Current building culturally relevant topics and potentials for development are discussed and worked on in both theoretical and practical approaches.

PATTERNLANGUAGE – TO ACT AND IMPACT IN SPACE
Our living environment is a lively cultural space. It speaks many languages, presents itself in many shapes and colours and tells many stories. It is as versatile and changeable as we, the residents and protagonists use and shape it. Local is global and our living space is
multilingual, long since grown closer all over the world. We play, live, learn, work, feel, wish, act and speak in diferent ways. AND we build and design spaces for a constructive coexistence. But do we have one common form of communication, which allows us to exchange ideas about space and its impact and which enables us to understand After the
symposium we will combine the relevant and jointly selected symbols and patterns in a uniform layout and make them available to all partners as a new, internationally applicable communication tool.

PATTERNLANGUAGE – TO ACT AND IMPACT IN SPACE

is an experiment where we want to try to develop an international, universal spatial sign language. We will fnd symbols and patterns, that enable communication across borders in a playful, experimental and low
threshold manner, aimed at young people to animate them to participate in the design of space. As a kind of visual alphabet, symbols and patterns are what let us experience, understand and describe spaces.
Goals that we want to achieve together are:
*perceive space with all senses
*develop symbols as an international means of communication
*experience design as a conjunction of head and hand
