Asked "what is architecture?" I'd rather answer to the question "what are the architectures I like". This lecture sums up some of my main research lines regarding contemporary architecture (some missing, though), putting them in a narrative order that allows me to speculate on the current conditions of the discipline.

The Evolution of Hadoop at Spotify - Through Failures and PainRafał Wojdyła
The quickest way to learn and evolve infrastructure is by encountering obstacles and being forced to overcome limitations that keep you inches away from project goals. At Spotify, we’ve encountered many of these obstacles and frustrations as we grew our Hadoop cluster from a few machines in an office closet aggregating played song events for financial reports, to our current 900 node cluster that plays a large role in many features that you see in our application today.
Two members of Spotify’s Hadoop ‘squad’ will weave in war stories, failures, frustrations and lessons learned to describe the Hadoop/Big Data architecture at Spotify and talk about how that architecture has evolved.
We’ll talk about how and why we use a number of tools, including Apache Falcon and Apache Bigtop to test changes; Apache Crunch, Scalding and Hive w/ Tez to build features and provide analytics; and Snakebite and Luigi, two in-house tools created to overcome common frustrations.

Structuralism is a mode of thinking .pptxseyefeselasse
Structuralism is a mode of thinking and a method of analysis practiced in 20th-centurysocial sciences and humanities. Methodologically, it analyses large-scale systems by examining the relations and functions of the smallest constituent elements of such systems, which range from human languages and cultural practices to folktales and literary texts.
How is architecture criticism adapting to the dramatic transformation of its communication space? After ten years of investigation on the topic, I summarize some of my findings and open up some prospectives for the survival of an endangered discoursive practice .
Una serie di osservazioni a proposito del regionalismo critico, e in particolare, della necessità di rivedere e aggiornare alcuni elementi della sua impalcatura concettuale, alla luce delle mutate condizioni che caratterizzano la cultura contemporanea.
The topic of this presentation is a particular case among the different kinds of relationships that digital technology etablishes with architectural culture today. More precisely, I will discuss the concept of “post-digital” architecture, which is a concept that has been quite widely debated in the last few years, particularly in relation to architectural practices that recur to techniques of representation privileging 2d image-editing tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator, instead of using advanced 3D modelling and rendering tools. In a nutshell, what I want to discuss is the kind of architectural image, and therefore the kind of architecture, that emerges from a post-digital approach to representation.
A partial state of the art of a research project that is currently underway and that I started to address during my PhD years, when I decided to explore the possible intersections between the new communication technologies that emerged in previous years, social networks in essence, and architectural culture.
A first attempt to investigate the spatial effects of the encounter between the video gaming industry and live streaming, starting from the early 2000s.
The lecture unfolds the stories behind the first two editions of the Unfolding Pavilion: an exhibition and editorial project founded by Daniel Tudor Munteanu and Davide Tommaso Ferrando that pops up at major architecture events in previously inaccessible but architecturally significant buildings.
A dive into theories and buildings belonging to the early history of modern architecture, aimed at putting them in relation with an emerging culture of the surface in western society, which anticipates phenomena more famously observed and theoreticized in the late 1960s by Venturi & Scott Brown.
A collection of thoughts about the influence that Internet and social media are exercising on architectural theory and practice, accompanied by some suggestions about how architects should react to it.
A series of arguments about the possibility (and convenience) to approach architecture theory as a form of storytelling, and as a consequence, architecture as a collection of narratives.
Lecture given for the first time in Trento in the occasion of the opening of the exhibition "Drawn Theories": June 20, 2018. The lecture explores the phenomenon of "Post-Digital" architecture drawings, giving it a brief historical context and recurring to case studies taken from the generation of Italian architects who were born in the 1980s.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

the idea of architecture in this precise historical moment, given that my knowledge and
taste are limited by a specific frame of experiences and that I have specific
intentions as researcher and teacher?

44. Once the normative place of beauty is destroyed there is no obvious way to logically
isolate aesthetic judgement. Hence the "concept" of art can change depending on the
social agreements under which art develops.
To make art is at the same time to define art.
Because history remains open to the future, the future meanings of art cannot be
determined in advance. The present therefore is fundamentally open to the risk of new
praxis and meaning.
(John Roberts, Revolutionary Time and the Avant-Garde, 2016)

121. Although austerity and scarcity are inevitably intertwined — the regimes of austerity
induce real scarcities — austerity is not the same as scarcity. Austerity is the
outcome of the ideologies of neo-liberalism, whereas scarcity is a higher-level
condition that both drives those ideologies and also threatens them.
