Currently he is leading Taller Territorial de México\, a research centre on architecture\, art\, and urbanism. He was m ember of the National System of Art Creators (FONCA) between 2007 and 2014 . He has taken part in numerous exhibitions of contemporary art and archit ecture. Ortiz Struck won the National Journalism Award "Faces of Discrimin ation" for his article "From architecture\, discrimination" (Nexos\, April 2012).\n\n \;\n\n"On Migration: The Imperceptible Veil of Architectur e": In my opinion\, architecture and urban theory have become disciplines that produce an imperceptible veil\, one in which we can not see things as a whole\, but just fragments useful to stimulate our disciplinary fantasi es\, but far away to make The Real rear its head.\n\nThese disciplines pro vide a powerful way of reading the production of space\; I don’t think\, however\, they’ve been successfully articulated into an extended compre hension of environments.\n\nI question if these disciplines can interact w ith the complexity of the contexts at all\, I guess if there are enough cr itical standings in architecture and urban theory to develop new approache s to territories. \n\nAs an artist\, my work focuses on the sensible under standing of space. I produce notes or independent ideas but\, next to each other\, they configure a different reading of the territory\, a reading t hat reveals space as void\, its ideological representations and narrative weaknesses\; in order to powering the observer through new perceptible asp ects of space\, my artwork try to be produced as an instrument of politica l pulsion.\n\n\n \;\n\nProfessor Ali Höcek will introduce the speaker .\n\nSuggested reading: Hélène Cixous\, "Savoir" in Veils by Hélène Ci xous and Jaques Derrida. Standford University Press\, 2002.\n\n \;\n\n "Border Crossings: Architecture and Migration" in the Americas presents m editations on the topic of migration from nontraditional\, creative\, and interdisciplinary perspectives. The distinguished speakers -- architects\, landscape architects\, architecture historians\, social historians\, a ph ilosopher\, an anthropologist\, and an attorney -- question conventions\, especially the conceptualization of migration as linear. They frame migrat ion as a multivalent process\, considering the lived realities and materia l conditions of migration\, historically and in the present. Migration in the Americas is more than just the movement and resettlement of bodies\, n umbers that cross lines and appear/disappear in different places. Migratio n is not merely (dis)placement\, it is also a metamorphosis. Migrants are human beings who are transformed to the core by their movement\, and they transform not only their places of departure and arrival\, but the entire space that is filled with their journeys.\n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are f ree\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium with remote option available.
