ABSTRACT
The second edition of the International Seminar "On the surface: Public Space and Architectural Images in Debate" aims to continue the success of its first edition that proved to be an important forum for debate and reflection about public space and architectural images, whose work can be seen in http://www.scopiomagazine.com and in the catalog that will be published in 2011 On the Surface: Public Space and Architectural Images in Debate. The seminar aims to promote a global critical analysis of the relations between architectural images and public imaginaries and to understand how different types of images build diverse worlds: between fiction and documentary, reproduction and manipulation, or analog and digital.
It is proposed for this second edition a structure very close to the Seminar of the 1st Edition, which will include also a conference with multiple sessions and a workshop. The main conference will be followed by a workshop on photography focused on public space and architecture that will have as result a collective exposition with all the participants work. The registered participants of the workshop will be able to attend for free the conference. Our aim is to organize the photography workshop for this 2nd Edition of the International Seminar in the city of Guimarães - European Capital of Culture 2012.
A call for papers is being run and several communications will integrate the main conference's program. The call for papers is based on the following set of themes structured in three main areas of reflection and questioning:
1. theory and history of images both as conceptual instruments and media for communicating public space design and architecture to society;
2. photographic practice in the perception of public space and architecture;
3. Video practice in the perception of public space and architecture.

ROUND TABLES
#1 Architecture between Portrait and Landscape
This session under the title "Architecture between Portrait and Landscape" proposes a reflection on the different scales of perception of the territory: the public space and private space. Looking for a comprehensive sense on the concept of "scale", and beyond the spatial dimension, we are also interested in the sense of scale of identity, intimacy, ownership and living. This session will take as a starting point photography that, in its quality of vehicle, violates scales of perception favoring the legitimacy of different readings underpinned by different spaces and times.

#3 The Other Public Space or the Image as Construction of a Space
When the space seeks the gesture or the gesture seeks the space, an image is born. It is the infinite gesture of the eyes, of the camera and of thought, unspeakable speeds, crystallized in an intense fragment. The public space is the object of desire of the image, of the photographer, as of the camera itself. Walter Benjamin thought in this unconscious of the real, that the camera, a mechanical apparatus, brings to the film surface, while escaping the common and organic eye. The public space contains an unconscious as this enters into the composition of another unconscious, of the image itself, that only in this way may construct this space yet to come. The image is the virtual space of public space, operating a ceaseless becoming, the becoming architecture or space of the image. The still life (or the objectivity of representation) and the time of memory transform themselves to build other spaces that no longer belong to a given reality, but produce the very real. The man (or his absence) in place or the places in the absence and presence of man live in the image as singular composition and creation of thought.In the present roundtable, we will think about these issues and others that will certainly arise: the unconscious of the public space or the object of desire of the image, the becoming architecture (or public space) of the image, fiction or narrative imagery beyond the documentary function, still life or the objectivity of the representation and the time of memory, the image of man (or his absence) in the construction of imaginary places for real people.

#4 ARC+D
The emergence of the creative industries based on intellectual property and creativity is one of the most representative changes in the economic structure of the city and regions in many parts of the world, especially in Europe and the U.S.A.
ARC +D is a R&D Technology project that fits in this creative industries trend and aims to answer some of the needs of this sector.
It aims to create a platform accessible through internet articulating the large band wide digital technologies with diverse communication strategies and collaborative work in the areas of construction / architecture and city space / culture, architectural competitions, blended learning architecture and arts
ARC + D will be able to answer to the diversity of its target markets through its software modules with specific, simple and intuitive graphical interfaces. Thus ARC + D is singular and plural, with a unique identity, but with different expressions. The application will have the ability to communicate image and audio content allowing users to: Visually inter-relate these contents in different ways: Interact with the software in a friendly way; Upload, embed and share, in a simple way, several types of content.

ZINES EXHIBITIONS
ARCHIZINES 14th June at 19:30 PM.
ARCHIZINES is a showcase of new architecture fanzines, journals and magazines from around the world that provide an alternative to the established architectural press. Launched by Elias Redstone, with art direction by Folch Studio, the project celebrates and promotes independent and alternative publishing as an arena for architectural commentary, criticism and research, and as a creative platform for new photography, illustration and design.
(Source: http://www.archizines.com/About)
CITYZINES 14th June at 19:30 PM.
CITYZINES emerges as a complement to the ARCHIZINES exhibition curated by Elias Redstone, and intends to be an introduction to the portuguese fanzines, providing a guide to unprecedented interest in the interdisciplinary fields of architecture, city, urban culture, public space, photography and cinema. Cityzines presents a rhizomatic cartography which allows browsing the national zines in a systematic but informal way, acknowledging the diversity of conceptual and graphical independent publications that make up the B-side of the bookstore's shelves.
CITYSCOPIO - ESPAÇO F - FAUP International Photography Narrative Contest
CITY OF GUIMARÃES: VIEWS ON EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE (CEC) 2012
The research group Centre for Communication and Spatial Representation (CCRE), integrated in the R&D centre (CEAU) of Faculty of Architecture of Porto University (FAUP) has, in collaboration with CITYSCOPIO – Cultural Association, initiated a project of an annual international contest on photography narratives – CITYSCOPIO - ESPAÇO F - FAUP International Photography Narrative Contest.
This contest is focused on building visual narratives on physical and conceptual configurations of city space’s - between urban and architecture - and of how people, in their daily life and work, appropriate, accommodate and challenge city spaces.
It is intended to initiate a body of work made up of visual narratives communicating the diversity of the settlements and urban settings, both nationally and internationally, and to create, in the near future, a "living catalogue" able to communicate both the transient and the enduring of the public spaces, architecture and social settings nature.
The 1st Edition of CITYSCOPIO – ESPAÇO F - FAUP International Photography Narrative Contest has as title "CITY OF GUIMARÃES: VIEWS ON EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE (CEC) 2012” and its results will be published in a special issue of SCOPIO Magazine on Guimarães 2012, European Capital of Culture.
The visual narratives submmited to contest should make use of the photography image in an exploratory way, as a communication vehicle of the richness and variety of the territory and city of Guimarães. It is intended that the visual narratives should be able to communicate and structure the urban space through diverse imaginaries, cultures, architectures and modes of spatial appropriation. Thus the visual narratives should be able to communicate, through an alternative look and integrating the imaginary and experience of locals, several significant features about these places, offering new insights about the reality of those spaces and of how they are transformed and experienced during the event European Capital of Culture 2012.
This contest will have significant web components that are understood as tools to create synergies and build communicative bridges, securing a wider divulgation and scope for the contest results and message. It will also be our objective to organise several exhibitions related to the contest issues addressed and on the content produced.
D.T.W. Cycle of Debates, Round-Tables and Photography Workshop: Guimarães and Ave River's Valley
http://www.nasuperficie.ccre-online.com/dtw
The 2nd International Seminar "On the Surface: Public Space and Architectural Images in Debate" will include a cycle of debates, round tables and a photography workshop – DTW – whose object of study will be Guimarães: European Capital of Culture 2012. DTW will be coordinated by CCRE (Center for Space Communication and Representation). The Workshop will take place a week after seminar (25 - 30 June) main event: the lectures and the round tables to happen on June the 14th and 15th 2012. DTW atendees will be granted access to all workshop sessions.
The aim is to operationally explore the several themes addressed at the congress and round tables: to explore photography in an inquisitive, curatorial and communicative perspective about public space and the experiences it supports – a perspective between documentary and fiction having as object of study the 2012 European Capital of Culture: Guimarães.
This workshop will not only broaden the seminar’s audience as it will have as an output an itinerant exhibition of architecture photography.
The photographic image is often used only to illustrate the character of an area and the people inhabit it in order to prove a point of view or opinion. However, photography can also be a research tool that allows the discovery of new perspectives on public space. The purpose of this cycle of debates, round tables and photography workshop is to take participants to raise awareness, explore and question the potential of photography as a way to represent and question the realities of urban cities, with special focus on the their historic centers.
Each workshop participant must select, in its study area, a set of buildings, zones or public places that he will want to explore and represent according to their individual sensitivity and the problems that are mentioned in the several presentations that integrate the seminar. Thus, the situations that the participants will communicate through a visual narrative may have as a starting point (i) the teaching material and (ii) the personal perspectives and interpretations after a spontaneously free walk through the area.
It is intended that the workshop participants will be able to communicate, in an unconventional way, the richness and variety of the urban reality of Guimarães and its territory. A city where the architecture of different eras and its history play a remarkable role in the character of space and the experiences it supports. It is intended to offer new perspectives on this historic space, to look for details and points of view that may give prominence to specific characteristics that otherwise would not be recognized. It is intended to go beyond the obvious: to communicate what is more subtle or complex, taking into account the different daily experiences of places.
We intend the creation of visual narratives from several images. This means to represent the ideas of the photographic project through a set of structured photographs in various diptychs, leaflets, pans or other compositions. The aim is that the ideas of each photographic project are communicated using a combination of unified images rather than from the sum of a set of individual images and / or units. There should be a strong link between the interrelation of the photos of each composition and the meaning and interpretation that are given to the whole set, in the form of visual narrative - storytelling.
