Should be an interesting read.

Stop trying to: 1. Memorize facts 2. Rush through history 3. Ignore the past Instead, just focus on exploring the oldest and grandest architecture at the University of Georgia. Discover its significance in American public higher education. The rest will take care of itself.

check out this new resource from ACSA on justice in architecture and architectural education:

Technological, environmental, or societal change means landscape architecture education must equip the next generation of practitioners with the necessary skills to adapt. For its Winter Issue, Landscapes | Paysages would like to hear from landscape architecture students, educators and researchers about how they are addressing changes in the field. Students, educators and researchers are invited to submit ideas, draft articles, or abstract around the question - what does the future of landscape architecture education look like within the context of three themes - education, innovation and advocacy. Have an idea or need more information on how or what to submit? Email qwan02@uoguelph.ca or submit your article idea by August 16. https://ow.ly/zpXm50SzKHJ

📚I'd like to announce the publication of my systematic literature review paper in the journal of Habitat International (Q1, IF: 6.8). The paper will serve as the initial and foundational chapter in my PhD thesis. This study is the result of nearly two years of scanning, reading, classifying and analyzing relevant papers starting with 731 in the first step and ends with the final results of 72 papers, based on the predefined inclusion criteria. This research categorizes success factors into ten classifications: architectural, structural, socio-cultural, economic, environmental, energy, authenticity, legal, management and functional factors. The structured results can facilitate the decision-making process of adaptive reuse projects and help the stakeholders and decision-makers to consider which factors should be considered for better adaptive reuse of (existing or heritage) buildings. I would like to thank my dear promoters Hilde Remøy and Vincent Gruis for their valuable feedback, support and encouragement throughout this study. https://lnkd.in/eewhvvzW #adaptivereuse #adaptation #adaptability #decisionmaking #heritagebuildings #conversion #transformation #renovation #success #factors

Reminder - Two Important Deadlines! Don’t forget the JAE has issued two open calls for participation. Call for JAE Fellows (2024-2025) Deadline: February 1st (TODAY but the application is quite short) The JAE and ACSA recognize the critical need to support the scholarship of architectural educators and researchers who face and continue to encounter systemic and structural obstacles, including racism, within academia and beyond. As a step toward this commitment, we have established one-year Fellowships and online publication commitments for cohorts of four architectural educators, designers, and researchers per year who self-identify as Black, Native/Indigenous, and/or as members of groups that are and have been historically and systemically marginalized and excluded, and whose academic labor is precarious, including adjunct, lecturer, and other non-tenure track faculty. Learn More: https://lnkd.in/eR2GDXt5⁠ Call for JAE Editorial Board Members (2024-2024) Deadline: March 1st  The Journal of Architectural Education invites applications for at-large positions on the Editorial Board. Founded in 1947, JAE is published twice a year by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). For over 75 years, it has been the primary venue for peer-reviewed research and commentary on architectural education. Architectural education has evolved, as has the nature of architectural scholarship. With this call, the JAE seeks to continue reflecting on these important shifts by building an editorial board that encompasses the full breadth of practices in architectural education, research, and scholarship.

Last week I finally had the pleasure of "getting to the point" of my PhD research on the planning/design of public memory in Montreal, Canada. Alongside 14 participants ranging from designers, architects, artists, activists, and regular people who simply care enough to get involved, we did an exercise of agonistic co-design (Munthe-Kaas, 2015) that imagined how a contested public memorial space, in this case monuments, could be adjusted. Through a creative/artistic method of citizen engagement in urban planning and design, we relied on our imagination, affect, and subjectivity to draw something new for a place that resists change. This method is one i first thought of during my masters at the University of Groningen - Faculty of Spatial Sciences, and then refined, and applied to Montreal, for my PhD at the Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory, and Material Culture (AHM). In fact, I will present this work on agonistic memory research at the forthcoming AHM at 10 Conference that will occur in Amsterdam, this June 21-22, 2024. The question I asked was simple: how could this public space be altered as to better reflect our changing views of public memory, Canadian colonialism, and the everyday, ordinary standing of monuments?

Today is Rice University’s 24-Hour Challenge! This initiative is a celebration of our collective spirit, a testament to our shared commitment to excellence, and an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the future of the Rice University School of Architecture and the broader campus community. As we embark on this annual giving day, I invite each of you—students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and supporters—to help provide support for three critical areas: 1. Course Travel Fund – Global Workshops (282703):  Empower our students to gain global insights into architectural explorations. 2. Student Organizations – National Organizations of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS) and Anti-Racism Collective (ARC) (284223): Strengthen our commitment to a more inclusive and equitable community. 3. Dean’s Excellence Fund (282689):  Provide flexible resources for emerging opportunities and challenges, ensuring our position at the forefront of architectural education. Please join us in this 24-hour challenge. Let's leverage our networks, share our stories, and invite others to join us in this pivotal effort. Click the link to give: https://lnkd.in/gFab84My
