FREE COURSE: HarvardX: The Architectural Imagination Learn fundamental principles of architecture — as an academic subject or a professional career — by studying some of history’s most important buildings.

“Leadership and relevance are at stake for the architecture profession now more than ever. From sustainably designed, sourced and operated buildings to healthy and equitable cities, the profession’s firms have the opportunity, if not the obligation, to be more than service providers for clients. To assert ourselves, however, I see the need for a consistent thread to be pulled through from education into the profession’s firms.” In a recent article for DesignIntelligence, ACSA Executive Director Michael Monti lays the foundation for multidimensional architectural education — and accountability. Throughout this piece, Monti shares his thoughts on the value of architectural education in keeping architecture as a respected and relevant profession amid attacks on higher education. He also proposes an expanded, four-dimensional model for architecture graduates.

I am looking forward to lecture on transformation and systemic change.

This Friday, September 27, a public conference hosted by GSAPP’s Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture, approaches the question: WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ENTITY WE CALL “THE STATE” AND THE BUILD ENVIRONMENT? To reframe this question, this one-day conference draws from recent literature that has challenged the conception of the state as an autonomous monolith that exerts uniform power on the world around it. What does it mean to understand the state, instead, as an entity that gains its coherence from its effects? How can architecture, understood as a state effect, help re-conceptualize the state as a central conceit in modernity? Invited speakers include: Cole Roskam (HKU), Daniel Abramson (BU), Sophie Cras (Paris 1), Yara Saqfalhait (GSAPP), Sheila Crane (UVA), Sonali Dhanpal (GSAPP), Brodwyn Fischer (UChicago), Brian Larkin (Barnard, Columbia), Bruno Carvalho (Harvard) STATE EFFECTS is open to the public, but RSVP is required for non-Columbia affiliates. To attend in person, please email: buellcenter@columbia.edu by Wednesday September 25 to reserve your spot.

CRP faculty Jocelyn Poe and Jennifer Minner, along with Architecture faculty Felix Heisel, are among several coauthors who recently published Embodying Justice in the Built Environment: Circularity in Practice. The guide and workbook seek to help policymakers, practitioners, and communities center justice principles while implementing strategies related to materials resource management, new construction, and alternatives to demolition.

Be inspired – listen to the recent #Lecture by Prof. Philippe Block, Co-Director #MASETHCSD programme, offered by the Block Research Group, ETH Zurich at the Institute of Technology in Architecture, ETH Zurich. His lecture entitled “Rethinking construction: Learning from the past to design a better future” was part of the MIT Department of Architecture lecture series in Structural Design.   In this lecture, Prof. Philippe Block showed how translating the (lost) knowledge of the #GothicMasterBuilders into today’s praxis results in truly #Sustainable, #Circular and #Economical #Structures, addressing #ClimateChange by significantly reducing #EmbodiedEmissions, utilising fewer single-use resources and minimising #ConstructionWaste.

Topic: _Spaces of Interaction: The Intersection of Architecture and Social Sciences_ Talk by : Ar. Azna Parveen Architect, Urban Designer Abstract Architecture is a tangible manifestation of time, informed by the economic, cultural and political contexts within which it emerges. Shaped further by functionalities, environmental adaptations and aesthetic trends, it serves as a lens to gain insights into the values, capabilities and aspirations of societies globally. The interdisciplinary dialogue between architecture and social sciences is thus vital in understanding our built environments, their past, present and futures. This talk delves into understanding the symbiotic relationship between the disciplines of architecture and social sciences, exploring how architectural theory and practice intersect with social science methodologies. It emphasizes on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to spatial explorations to provide a more cohesive and deeper understanding of communities and culture.

How can the architecture of memorials help us understand loss? Philosopher and architectural theorist Dr Lucy Benjamin from the University of Melbourne Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning is the recipient of the 2024 Ernst & Rosemarie Keller Award which will support new research into how we think about the past, the kind of memorials we construct to commemorate history & how we perceive monuments as time passes. https://lnkd.in/grbFnNzf
