[PT] Este parágrafo consta do livro que estamos a preparar com o Colectivo Warehouse (e que só ainda não está nas livrarias por "particularidades" do mercado editor em Portugal). Refere-se ao início dos trabalhos em 2012:

"Inicialmente foi-nos recomendado que não entrássemos no bairro sem o acompanhamento de um mediador local. “Branco que aqui entra ou é polícia ou vem comprar droga”, diziam. Durante o período do workshop nunca houve qualquer problema entre a comunidade de estudantes e professores e os habitantes do bairro. Bem pelo contrário, o acolhimento e a abertura de todos excederam as expectativas. Mas a iniciativa não decorreu isenta de incidentes. No dia de encerramento, com direito a partida de futebol e festa, assim que os participantes abandonaram o bairro houve uma intervenção musculada da Guarda Nacional Republicana. Sem se ter alguma vez percebido o enquadramento e motivação da ação, os agentes envolvidos colocaram várias questões sobre a presença dos membros do workshop no território, tendo deixado o vestígio da sua violência em algumas construções próximas do local em que se havia realizado a celebração da tarde."

Portugal: micro-scale interventions
In these times of crisis, several young Portuguese practices are searching for an alternative approach, using architecture to fight for a social cause.

[ENG] Following the debate "Communication and Bottom-UP. The importance of the way stories are being told." we [at dpr-barcelona] are committed to expand the debates and conversations avoiding them to get lost after a few days of the event. That's why we're publishing this digital-pamphlet [kindle + ePub] exploring the thought and ideas of thinkers and doers; articulated by simple detonating questions posed through emails, tweets and conversations intending to comunicate effectively the very essence of the debate: “the importance of telling stories”

This “fast generated” publication includes contributions by attending guest to the debate [that you can see here in the post], the so-called “Line 0” [Ana María León, Pedro Hernández and Clara Nubiola] and with the aim to expand the conversation beyond the dome of Eme3's piazza, we also have invited a few friends who are involved in similar activities to share their thoughts about this topic with us. They are Iker Gil, Mario Ballesteros, Cristina Goberna and Urtzi Grau [Fake Industries], Mimi Zeiger, and Nick Axel.

This digital pamphlet is also a starting point for a open and written debate were everyone can also sum opinions: Those interested in responding will be able to add more contents using Booki (http://www.booki.cc/list-books/), which is an open platform that allows to write collaborative books and even generating a very personal version.

The book has been published bilingual, with some articles in Spanish and other ones in English, as each author was free to choose the language that makes easier to communicate his/her ideas.

You are free to add a complete chapter, to add contents to the published ones and to add images... Did someone say participate?
