The theme of PLOT Volume 5 is FILTER. The wor dfilter operates as both noun and verb\, evoking multiple interpretations: to filter is to edit\, to sift\, to screen. It suggests a paring down\, a refinement\, a draft distilled to its most elegant iteration. FILTER conn otes exclusion\, for better or for worse—an intriguing ambiguity. As a b arrier\, it allows for refined curation or exclusive marginalization. What is the value of the filtrate produced? Indeed\, filters are most noticeab le when they clog\, break down\, or fail to perform their intended task. W hat is being filtered\, and at what expense? What happens when we stop scr eening?

A C ity in Crisis\, a new play by Damon Arrington MLA '16.\n\nRustbelt is a dark comedy set in 1984 that centers around an underground dance show in the heart of the Rustbelt. A community is inspired to an uprising. This tw isted Erin Brockovich tale of environmental injustice challenges authority and questions the safety of our drinking water.\n\nMLA travel studio rese arch in 2015 to Detroit and subsequent thesis investigations in Chemical V alley\, West Virginia (both Rustbelt ecologies)\, have propelled this comm unity-driven research. Dramatic writing was conjured from a study of artif acts\, mesmerizing clips of a dance show in Detroit called The Scene promp ted a deeper study into systemic racism that transcended directly from the structures and policy placed on marginal\, red lined neighborhoods.\n\nTh e process of writing plays can be tedious and lengthy. Arrington's writin g has spanned more than one year. A Soho Rep workshop allowed him to hea r the play and begin to incorporate media elements including vintage foota ge into the piece. This reading will be the first time an audience has hea rd the play\, an exciting next step for the production.

DESCRIPTION:The National Design Services Act (NDSA) is a bill promoted by t he American Architects that enables architecture students and recent gradu ates to contribute design services in their communities in exchange for mu ch needed student loan assistance. Architecture students are burdened by s ome of the of the highest school-based dept balances in the nation's histo ry\, with an undergraduate debt load 33% higher than the national average in 2012.\n\nThe NDSA works through the use of designated community design centers\, where architecture students contribute a specific time period of work over the course of several days\, weeks\, months\, and in exchange w ill receive federal aid from the Department of Housing and Urban Developme nt. The Federal government has always encouraged student loan aid programs that have a positive impact on regions across the country\, as medical\, legal and even veterinary students have had bills written to encourage the contribution of their work to the undeserved area.\n\nCrumbling infrastru cture as urban developments explodes. Young professionals burdened by educ ational debt seeking architectural public service opportunities. Could we solve both?\n\nIt's time to talk about changing the way we do architecture in this country. We want the future of our profession to be financially s ustainable and attainable\, able to provide valuable services and to attra ct talent to our field. It's time for you to be invested in shaping the fu ture of the NDSA.\n\n\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Special Events LOCATION:J.

The digital is no longer novel\ , but enmeshed within our daily lives in a post-digital culture. In more r ecent years\, advances in materials\, sensing\, actuation\, and robotic te chnologies\, have altered the modes in which architects and designers enga ge spatiotemporal systems and human-machine-environment interactions. Nove l architectures are being developed through innovative approaches in the d esign of responsive and adaptive systems that promote human interaction an d result in corporeal\, visceral\, and ephemeral experiences. These kineti c\, quasi-intelligent systems are being explored through emerging bio and synthetic materials\, robotic systems\, programmable matter\, virtual envi ronments\, and deliberately altering\, hacking\, and tinkering with electr onics.\n\nMaterial Interactions\, a symposium held at The City College o f New York\, Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture\, will highl ight current methodologies and question future potentials for sensing\, ac tuation\, and robotic technologies in the design of interactive systems.

To sustain policies of denia l—and deniability for their failings and flawed thinking—political dis course has been untethered from authority grounded in data\, metrics\, and science. The significance of atmospheric carbon quantification and climat e studies\, calculations of energy and agricultural resource availability\ , even economic and demographic statistics are routinely disputed by polit ical leaders and everyday citizens in support of their personal narratives empowering a denial of uncomfortable truths.\n\nDesign Against Denial aim s to be a countervailing force for open discussion and a mechanism to prom ote tactics to resist the increasingly binary thinking behind polarizing r hetoric. The symposium will present ideas for resistance in both the virtu al and physical realms. Each session\, morning and afternoon\, will be ope ned with presentations by researchers and designers working to communicate science\, environment\, and design thinking to a wide audience. The four talks will be followed by a moderated panel discussion of emerging technol ogies and opportunities for the invention and presentation of vivid real a nd fake futures that can speak convincingly across the language barrier th at divides those who believe in socioenvironmental outcomes modeled on pro babilities grounded in digital data collection and analytics—and those w ho do not.\n\nBios:\n\nIsaac Gertman is designer\, writer\, educator\, and typography enthusiast\, with a keen interest in the overlapping social\, cultural\, and infrastructural systems found in cities.

Dozens of featured projects—from sing le family houses to multi-story residential and office towers to civic\, s ports\, and cultural centers\, as well as important government commissions realized in Australia\, Austria\, France\, Israel\, Italy\, Mexico\, and Hong Kong—bring to focus Seidler’s 12 long-lasting creative collaborat ions with progressive artistic visionaries: architects Walter Gropius\, Ma rcel Breuer\, and Oscar Niemeyer\; engineer Pier Luigi Nervi\; artists Jos ef Albers\, Alexander Calder\, Norman Carlberg\, Sol LeWitt\, Charles Perr y\, Frank Stella\, and Lin Utzon\; and photographer Max Dupain. The exhibi tion was developed by New York-based non-profit Curatorial Project in coll aboration with Penelope Seidler and The Seidler Estate in Sydney.\n\nSurpr ise and Delight—these are the two key feelings that strike anyone who ex periences Seidler’s architecture\, no matter how familiar one might be w ith his work. His forms are never illogical\, yet they are always remarkab le and beautiful\, so much more so as they are achieved through the econom y of means. The architect’s houses and towers are thoroughly referential in their sources of inspiration and yet they are unmistakably Seidleresqu e. Above all\, Seidler’s architecture has become an integral part of the Australian identity.\n\nExhibition continues through November 22.\n\nSpea kers\n\nKenneth Frampton (b. 1930) was trained as an architect at the Arch itectural Association in London.

This student-designed 800 s. f. micro-dwelling is surrounded by a garden and apiary that provide Harle m residents and students with experience raising agricultural crops and  keeping bees.\n\nThe Solar Roofpod is a plus-net-energy dwelling designed to provide local green energy for urban buildings. The prototype was desi gned and built by students under the supervision of Prof. Christian Volkm ann at City College for the Department of Energy’s 2011 Solar Decathlon . It returned to CCNY in 2014 to serve as a living classroom and a hub fo r sustainable design.\n\nWith its 10 kWp of electricity and 12 kWp of addi tional thermal energy production\, the Roofpod provides surplus to its ho st building and can serve as a resilient back-up system in case of grid o utages. The modular building allows elements to be freely combined. The b uilding envelope\, the surrounding green roof system\, and the “solar t rellis” comprise the structure.\n\nThe adjoining Harlem Rooftop Garden provides the vital link among STEM studies\, our local food system\, and h ealth. The Spitzer School together with the on-campus High School for Mat h\, Science and Engineering created this urban farm and offer joint inter disciplinary programs for high school and college students. The farm cont ains plants in containers with an irrigation system built on steel beams as well as two bee hives.\n\nA few blocks farther north within architect G eorge B. Post's landmarked Neo-Gothic campus\, Shepard Hall's historic Gr eat Hall will also be open 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Step inside this soaring  jewel--one of the largest rooms in all of New York City--and learn about its history and architecture--from the chief architect guiding its rest oration\, Carl Stein.

Since its founding in 1969\, the school has always of fered students the opportunity to integrate a wide range of visual arts st udies into their studio design education and their design research work.\n \nThe artists presented in this exhibit continue the tradition of their pr edecessors (Candido\, Lionni\, Roos\, et al.) by adding the tools\, techni ques\, and sensibility of their endeavors\, their art\, and their craft to the student experience and working vocabulary.\n\nInclusion and diversity are integral to the school. This is reflected in the cultures and languag es of both the students and faculty. This is also true of the variety of w orks by the five fine artists represented. Painting\, sculpture\, and phot ography are married\, for the first time\, in the Atrium Gallery and illus trate the breadth of opportunity available to the students.\n\nLance Jay B rown\, FAIA\, DPACSA\nProfessor\, City College of New York\nLbrown@ccny.cu ny.edu\n\nCommentary: Art + Architecture \n\nArtists have always held a pr ivileged if somewhat ambiguous position within modern schools of architect ure. At the Bauhaus\, “form masters” like Johannes Itten\, Paul Klee\, Wassily Kandinsky\, and Josef Albers played a unique role in the life of the school\, and indeed made seminal contributions to its design pedagogy. Albers\, László Moholy-Nagy\, and György Kepes brought this tradition to the United States in the 1930s\, inculcating their powerful “new visi on” in architecture students. During the second half of the twentieth ce ntury\, as architecture education became increasingly professionalized\, a s the university structure reinforced the tendency to disciplinary special ization\, and as a technological orientation displaced the remnants of the Beaux-Arts system\, the fine arts were further marginalized within the cu rriculum. However\, there were always significant exceptions to this trend \, especially at schools with an adjacency to major art institutions or co mmunities. Interrelations between architects and artists continued to evol ve in the 1970s and ’80s in synch with changes occurring in the art worl d\, and postmodernism brought a new affinity for artistic forms of represe ntation and more subjective approaches to architectural knowledge. At a pr actical level\, almost all architecture schools have continued to offer co urses in subjects like drawing\, two-dimensional design\, color\, and phot ography. These have frequently been taught by practicing artists. While th e artist is no doubt more of a rara avis on the architecture faculty today \, especially since the advent of the computer\, she or he remains a deepl y valued presence in the school\, bringing much-needed aesthetic sensibili ty and an inspirational point of view to an ever more pragmatic discipline .\n\nJoan Ockman\nSenior Lecturer\, University of Pennsylvania School of D esign\nVisiting Professor\, Cooper Union School of Architecture\nVisiting Professor\, Cornell University School of Architecture\nEditor\, Architectu re School: Three Centuries of Educating Architects in North America (MIT P ress\, 2012)\n\nMedia Coverage\n\nThe Riverdale Press: "It's All About Per spective for These Architecture Professors"  \nArchitectural Record: "Ex clusive Look at Architectural Photos by Albert Vecerka" \n\n \; CATEGORIES:Exhibits LOCATION:Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture\, 141 Convent Aven ue\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States GEO:40.8177595;-73.95047339999996 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=141 Convent Avenue\, New Yo rk\, NY\, 10031\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Bernard and Ann e Spitzer School of Architecture:geo:40.8177595,-73.95047339999996 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:172@ssa.ccny.cuny.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180110T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180110T163000 DTSTAMP:20180103T185944Z URL:https://ssa.ccny.cuny.edu/events/tour-for-graduate-applicants/ SUMMARY:School Tour for Graduate Applicants DESCRIPTION:Learn about the Spitzer School’s graduate programs. This tou r will include the studios\, fabrication shop\, library\, and Solar Roofpo d.\n\nMeet in lobby of the Spitzer School of Architecture.\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Grad Info Sessions,Special Events LOCATION:Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture\, 141 Convent Aven ue\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States GEO:40.8177595;-73.95047339999996 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=141 Convent Avenue\, New Yo rk\, NY\, 10031\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Bernard and Ann e Spitzer School of Architecture:geo:40.8177595,-73.95047339999996 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:169@ssa.ccny.cuny.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180129T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180129T203000 DTSTAMP:20180125T193718Z URL:https://ssa.ccny.cuny.edu/events/designing-your-future-creating-value- in-your-career-2/ SUMMARY:Designing Your Future: Creating Value in Your Career DESCRIPTION:National Council of Architectural Registration Boards presentat ion about your career in architecture\, licensure\, and beyond.\n\nTopics include:\n\n The entities involved in the licensure process\n How to pro gress successfully through the Architectural Experience Program™\;  (AXP™\;)\n Brief overview of the Architect Registration Examination ® (ARE®)\n Recent changes to NCARB programs\n The value of the NCARB C ertificate\n\nThe presentation will also cover tips to making a successful transition from school to work and pursuing licensure once employed.

Her first book\, Megalopolis: Co ntemporary Cultural Sensibilities (1992) was an immediate success as it e xplained popular urban culture and postmodernity in an informed yet access ible way. Megalopolis mapped out Celeste's future topics (particularly m odern ruins and kitsch) and became a cult classic. It was translated to se veral languages and is still being reprinted today. Her second book\, The Artificial Kingdom: A Treasury of the Kitsch Experience (1998) presented kitsch as a cultural sensibility and a product of industrialization\, ste ering this phenomenon away from the good taste/bad taste discussion and sh owing its complexity as a modern phenomenon. It has also been translated t o several languages. In 2013\, Celeste founded PROYECTO HELICOIDE in the h opes of making visible the extraordinary modern ruin of El Helicoide\, in Caracas. The project has produced award-winning exhibitions and fueled Do wnward Spiral: El Helicoide's Descent From Mall to Prison (Terreform/Urban Research)\, co-edited with Lisa Blackmore. Celeste has also received Gugg enheim and Rockefeller awards.\n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held at 6:30 pm in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium.

The work is from a team that operates as a “traditiona l” architectural studio responding to clients and as a research practice that formulates its own agenda of investigation and intervention.\n\nIn 2 005\, Michael Sorkin Studio underwent a mitosis with the founding of Terre form. Given a long history of activist work in a variety of registers—in cluding design\, advocacy\, and writing—there’d been a long simmering desire to find a form of practice that was more transparent with the non-c ommercial—even utopian—projects and ambitions that engaged us. Not wan ting to give up the prospect of “ordinary” building\, however\, we for malized the conceptual split into a “straight” architectural practice and an organization doing research\, unsolicited interventions\, publishin g\, and propositions. The studio works in a single spirit with a focus on questions of city\, on its morphology\, systems of equity\, and metabolic behavior. What Terreform has learned over the years from New York City (St eady) State—an elaborate speculation meant to determine just how autonom ous our city can become—informs “official” projects Sorkin Studio ha s undertaken in Wuhan\, Xi’an\, or Istanbul and vice versa. Each side se rves as the lab for the other but we’re all on the same page: the iron f iscal curtain between the two entities is a membrane that’s completely p orous to ideas.\n\nMichael Sorkin is a distinguished professor and directo r of the Graduate Urban Design Program.

We have been designing at all s cales for a variety of clients\, programmes and cities. We seek out vision ary clients whose projects demand new and innovative solutions. Graduated as an architect in Brussels\, the city of Art Nouveau\, and post-graduated from the Bartlett School in London\, David Tajchman envisions projects wi th the Gesamtkunstwerk spirit he experienced in Victor Horta’s buildings during his childhood in Brussels. Our studio pursues this collaborative w ork tradition with artists and manufacturers\, to design sur-measure solut ions. The work of the studio has become\, over the last ten years\, an inf luential force in the culture of contemporary architecture. Since 2016\, t he studio has self-initiated its research by design projects: "Gran Medite rraneo" - a Tel Aviv-specific mixed use high-rise\, "Hanging Automotive Ga rdens" - an automated parking silo and public garden for Paris\, and the " Topological House On The Rocks." Today\, we continue to develop through ne w projects our repertoire of design possibilities.\n\n \;\n\nAll lectu res are free\, open to the public\, and held at 6:30 pm in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium.

He is also a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin (2017-2020).\n\nHis resear ch approaches the history of architecture as a lens through which to exami ne the dynamics of global environmental change\; simultaneously\, environm ent emerges as a crucial aspect of architectural histories as concerns ove r energy\, climate\, and materials\, as well as challenges to growing ineq uity across race and class\, become increasingly prominent aspects of the discourse.\n\nDaniel’s book A House in the Sun: Modern Architecture and Solar Energy in the Cold War was published by Oxford University Press in 2 016. A second book\, Designing the Planetary Interior\, is forthcoming. Ar ticles have appeared in Public Culture\, Grey Room\, Technology and Cultur e\, and The Avery Review.

Closes February 8\, 2019.\n\nThe Unfinishe d exhibition is a project that was originally curated for the Spanish pavi lion at the Venice International Architecture Biennale 2016. The exhibitio n's goal is to take a look at unfinished architecture in order to discover virtues that can be turned into design strategies. During the past period of economic growth in Spain\, construction became the main driving force behind the economy.  Today we find the presence of the unfinished remains of the largest constructional undertaking in history\, which left behind an awkward layout and large\, partially built\, and unconsolidated structu res. Unfinished sets out to explore creative speculations on converting a past condition into positive contemporary action.\n\nThe exhibition -- win ner of the Golden Lion at the 2016 Venice Biennale -- gathers examples of architecture produced during the past few years\, born out of renunciation and economy of means\, designed to evolve and adapt to future necessities and trusting in the beauty conferred by the passage of time.

G uided tours at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.\n\nVisit the rooftop of the Spitze r School of Architecture (Vinõly Architects) to see its Solar Roofpod an d urban farm. This student-designed 800 s.f. micro-dwelling is surrounded by a garden and apiary that provide Harlem residents and students with e xperience raising agricultural crops and keeping bees.\n\nThe Solar Roofp od is a plus-net-energy dwelling designed to provide local green energy f or urban buildings. The prototype was designed and built by students unde r the supervision of Prof. Christian Volkmann at City College for the Dep artment of Energy’s 2011 Solar Decathlon. It returned to CCNY in 2014 t o serve as a living classroom and a hub for sustainable design.\n\nWith it s 10 kWp of electricity and 12 kWp of additional thermal energy productio n\, the Roofpod provides surplus to its host building and can serve as a resilient back-up system in case of grid outages. The modular building al lows elements to be freely combined. The building envelope\, the surround ing green roof system\, and the “solar trellis” comprise the structur e.\n\nThe adjoining Harlem Rooftop Garden provides the vital link among ST EM studies\, our local food system\, and health. The Spitzer School togeth er with the on-campus High School for Math\, Science and Engineering crea ted this urban farm and offer joint interdisciplinary programs for high s chool and college students. The farm contains plants in containers with a n irrigation system built on steel beams as well as two bee hives.\n\nA f ew blocks farther north within architect George B.

We hope you will join us and experience this one-of-a-ki nd installation.\n\nThe Unfinished exhibition is a project that was orig inally curated for the Spanish pavilion at the Venice International Archit ecture Biennale 2016. The exhibition's goal is to take a look at unfinishe d architecture in order to discover virtues that can be turned into design strategies. During the past period of economic growth in Spain\, construc tion became the main driving force behind the economy.  Today we find the presence of the unfinished remains of the largest constructional undertak ing in history\, which left behind an awkward layout and large\, partially built\, and unconsolidated structures. Unfinished sets out to explore c reative speculations on converting a past condition into positive contempo rary action. The exhibition is on view until February 8\, 2019.

Her research\, creati ve work\, and teaching are very much interweaved\, blurring the boundaries between activities and outputs. She has been working for nearly twenty-fi ve years at the intersections of architecture\, urban design\, art\, visua l communication\, and media. Her PhD on the history of modern architecture through the lenses of the Museum of Modern Art was awarded the First Priz e in the most prestigious award in Spain for an architectural thesis\, res ulting in its publication as the book\, Casas en el Jardín del MOMA : La Consolidación de un Museo. Her major fields of research are drawin g\, experimental modes of criticism\, and methodologies that are directly related to the processes of design and creation. Her book\, The Drawin g Bazaar (2015) provides a new perspective on the meaning and scope of t he term ‘drawing’ and its impact on the education and performance of c ontemporary architects.  The Journal of Architectural Education (201 8) published her most recent investigations presenting her ongoing commitm ent to research-led teaching and innovative pedagogical research. \n\nAdd itionally\, Fullaondo is a Visiting Professor at the Spitzer School of Arc hitecture this semester.\n\nIntroduction by Assistant Professor\, Frank Me lendez\n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium.

He was the Head of Department from 2014 to 2018. Sheffield\, with over 400 students and 35-40 PhD students\, is the largest landscape architecture d epartment in the UK and one of the international leaders in landscape arch itecture research\, with funded research collaborations across the world.\ n\nJames's research has centered around developing novel approaches to pub lic planting design that allow for the creation of rich experiences for ur ban people and habitat opportunities for native biodiversity. At the same time\, he established and managed at the lowest levels of finance\, energy \, and other diminishing resources.  To achieve this goal he has integrat ed perspectives from contemporary ecological science with design and manag ement processes\, and developed understanding through environmental psycho logy research as to what people might think of the resulting designed land scapes. The application of these multi-disciplinary perspectives is intend ed to shift existing paradigms as to what urban planting might be in the 2 1st century\, in a time of climate change\, sustainability\, and biodivers ity. At the core of this is the need to create experiences with vegetation that are extraordinary\, uplifting\, and meaningful.  A vital source of inspiration for how to design opportunity for these experiences has been t o travel extensively to study the world’s most visually extraordinary te mperate and Mediterranean vegetation.\n\nHe is also a practitioner\, and h as been involved in many of the major designed landscapes in the UK over t he past twenty years. He was\, for example\, the planting design lead (wit h Nigel Dunnett) at the London Olympic Park\, 2008-2013. Since 2010 James has worked extensively in China\, where he has sought to develop more sust ainable urban landscapes\, in part through encouraging greater use of Chin ese native and other “more sustainable” vegetation\, but also through challenging design approaches that do not reflect on the culture and ecolo gy of the places in question. In 2018 he designed one of the five “maste r” gardens\, at the Beijing International Expo\, plus the first multi-sp ecies native woodland parks in China at Lotus Lake in Central Beijing. He also works at much larger scales\, leading the LDA Design and Grimshaw Arc hitecture team\, which in 2019 won the $2 million first prize in the Inter national Design Competition to re-imagine Longquan Shan\, a 1\,275 square km mountain range that is being subsumed by the city of Chengdu\, as a con ceptually new model for a national park.\n\nCurrently\, he is working with Hassell Architecture on imagining the planting for the Melbourne Arts Pre cinct Project. This is a $1 billion Australian regeneration project that c onnects 14 of the city’s premier arts and cultural institutions with a n ew public realm driven by rich\, exciting planting\, to parallel outside\, the performance that takes place inside.

G uided tours at 10:15 and 11:15 a.m.\n\nVisit the rooftop of the Spitzer Sc hool of Architecture (Vinõly Architects) to see its Solar Roofpod and ur ban farm. This student-designed 800 s.f. micro-dwelling is surrounded by a garden and apiary that provide Harlem residents and students with exper ience raising agricultural crops and keeping bees.\n\nThe Solar Roofpod i s a plus-net-energy dwelling designed to provide local green energy for u rban buildings. The prototype was designed and built by students under th e supervision of Prof. Christian Volkmann at City College for the Departm ent of Energy’s 2011 Solar Decathlon. It returned to CCNY in 2014 to se rve as a living classroom and a hub for sustainable design.\n\nWith its 10 kWp of electricity and 12 kWp of additional thermal energy production\, the Roofpod provides surplus to its host building and can serve as a resi lient back-up system in case of grid outages. The modular building allows elements to be freely combined. The building envelope\, the surrounding green roof system\, and the “solar trellis” comprise the structure.\n \nThe adjoining Harlem Rooftop Garden provides the vital link among STEM s tudies\, our local food system\, and health. The Spitzer School together  with the on-campus High School for Math\, Science and Engineering created  this urban farm and offer joint interdisciplinary programs for high scho ol and college students. The farm contains plants in containers with an  irrigation system built on steel beams as well as two bee hives.\n\nA few blocks farther north within architect George B.

Tour the Spitzer School of Architecture\, meet current Urban De sign students and view their works in progress\, and speak informally with Program Director Julio Salcedo-Fernandez and Distinguished Professor Mich ael Sorkin. Specifically\, open studio visitors will witness the commencem ent of the third exercise of the semester: Among the obvious causal effect s of the rapid global urbanization and accompanying migrations is the enla rgement of the urban realm and its increased density. The co-opting of non -residential spaces and "colonization" of other non-urban territories are having a critical impact on the ecology of the core and surrounds of the c ity. In addition\, in first-world contexts that experienced suburban and e xurban expansions –- such as New York -- there are other dynamics of reg ressive growth and new models of inhabiting these ex-urban territories in light of their environmental implications. In all\, the studio will delve into the consideration of what may constitute new imaginative hybrid model s.\n\nThe Graduate Program in Urban Design is focused on creating new\, eq uitable\, beautiful\, and sustainable forms and technologies for the city and urban life. We believe trans-disciplinary designers in general and urb an designers in particular are in an ideal position to positively contribu te to re-envisioning a series of global urban realities in crisis. Through cultural\, technological\, environmental\, and social engagement\, we can harvest a newly found design adroitness to address the problems that rend er our cities less just\, less plural\, less safe\, unproductive\, and env ironmentally deficient. The Urban Design program seeks emergent urban narr atives that can guide design through the aforementioned surplus of practic es\, orbiting epistemes\, and technologies addressing the city.\n\nFar fro m the smart city movement and tightly codified Western planning efforts\, some of the most promising urban practices are emerging in the Global Sout h. These urban practices are bound by another set of drivers that enable a set of complex and advanced anthropologies\, economies\, and social struc tures. In addition\, they address an enmeshed range of issues such as scar city\, equanimity\, densification\, resource depletion\, and environmental crises. Together\, these practices are inciting new urban narratives that spatialize social economies\, environmentally responsive practices\, and new public infrastructures.\n\nStudents in our program will surface the na rratives that guide and enable these complex interactions and if necessary dream or induce them to a new reality. Focusing on topics such as diaspor as as they intersect with environmental and urban systems\, we will promot e design methods ranging from systems and processes thinking\, to the reca libration of existing urban fabrics\, and to novel spatial practices. Henc e\, in the concerns of cities lie also the opportunities to redefine our p ractices.\n\nThe program is designed to be completed in two full-time\, se quential semesters. At the core of the curriculum is the design studio. Co mmitted to both experiment and amelioration\, the two-semester program foc uses\, each year\, on a New York City site and\, after a research visit\, on design of a city in a demanding environment abroad.  Projects have add ressed sites including Havana\, San Jose (Costa Rica)\, Gaza\, the Ecuador ian rainforest\; Belfast\; Tianjin\; Nicosia\; Johannesburg\; New Orleans\ ; Hanoi\, Wuhan\, Bogota\, Tijuana\, Biloxi\, and Chicago.\n\nA total of f our courses are required each semester. The electives are chosen from the remarkable and wide-ranging urban offerings and distinguished faculty at t he School of Architecture and City College at large\, the Urban Affairs an d Planning Program at Hunter College\, and the CUNY Graduate Center.\n\nAp plicants to the Urban Design programs should hold a professional degree in either architecture or landscape architecture. Applicants from other back grounds will be considered only in exceptional circumstances and on demons tration of a high level of design ability.\n\n[gravityform id="46" title=" true" description="true"] CATEGORIES:Grad Info Sessions,Info Sessions,Special Events LOCATION:Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture\, 141 Convent Aven ue\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States GEO:40.8177595;-73.95047339999996 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=141 Convent Avenue\, New Yo rk\, NY\, 10031\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Bernard and Ann e Spitzer School of Architecture:geo:40.8177595,-73.95047339999996 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:288@ssa.ccny.cuny.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20191024T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20191024T190000 DTSTAMP:20190813T145850Z URL:https://ssa.ccny.cuny.edu/events/sciame-lecture-series-jean-pierre-pra nlas-descours/ SUMMARY:Sciame Lecture Series: Jean-Pierre Pranlas-Descours DESCRIPTION: \n\nJean-Pierre Pranlas-Descours\, architect\, urban planne r\, author and professor of architecture\, has developed a permanent work on the articulation of scales\, defining himself as an architect of the te rritory.  From the drawing of shelves to furniture in a library to the pr oject of a large metropolitan area\, Jean-Pierre Pranlas-Descours inscri bes his work in a continuity of thought creating situations in which peopl e thrive.   \n\nIn order to serve this ambition\, all projects are link ed by a reflection on the materiality through which all architectural thou ght is embodied.  Everything is a subject of architecture\, light\, mater ials\, thresholds\, and continuities.  Primarily as an architect\, Pranl as-Descours develops his activity in built buildings\, drawn territories\ , theoretical writings and a teaching activity centered on the architectur al project as a creative process.  Professor Pranlas-Descours will be t eaching as a Visiting Professor in the fall 2019 semester at the Bernard a nd Anne Spitzer School of Architecture.   \n\n \n\nIntroduction by Ass istant Professor\, Sean Weiss \n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Archite cture Sciame Auditorium.

Paralysis in the face of contentious issues\ , uncritical acceptance of traditional roles\, sectors\, and hierarchies\, and unquestioned long-held truths inhibit development of new ideas and approaches to design effectively. To instigate new approaches\, we have in vited designers\, planners\, historians\, and social scientists to talk ab out Everyday Ecosystems: the boundless communities we are part of—a coc ktail of cultures crossing economic and class strata with overlapping gend er\, racial\, and spiritual identities—that complement but also compete with each other and conflict internally for rights and means to perpetuate their cultural identities\, social relations\, and environmental resource needs and desires.\n\nSpeakers will present the idea or theory that one o f their projects is contested through design\, planning\, or projective r esearch and analysis. Together\, we aim to develop principles that will es tablish a foothold from which to launch new approaches and ideas for chang ing the complex world future generations will inherit.\n\nFree and open to the public.

Curated by Associate Professor Fabia n Llonch the series features prominent architects from South America who w ill discuss their work and the unique political and environmental challeng es they face. The second lecture of this series\, "WHY. Design Fundamental s in Nature\," will be presented by Teresa Moller\, a renowned self-taught landscape architect from Chile\, who has worked in the field for 30 years on projects throughout a broad range of scales. An introduction will be l ed by Catherine Seavitt Nordenson.\n\n \;\n\nTo join the event\, pleas e follow the Zoom link here.\n\n \;\n\nMoller's approach to her work i s very unique -- careful observation and awareness of the landscape is key in developing her successful social-culture projects. Essential within he r philosophy is making the natural environment accessible people so they c an connect and value nature around them. Believing strongly in the power o f simplicity\, she considers what is on site to be of utmost importance be fore starting a design\, beginning with what exists before moving on to wh at is needed in order to bring the experience of nature closer to people.\ n\n \;\n\nWedged between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes m ountain range to the east\, Chile is a linear country of 4\,270 km that gr eatly benefits from such contrasting landscapes and offers remarkable natu ral resources. Moller prides herself in being able to work with such a div ersity of landscapes\, from the Atacama Desert in the north to the lakes a nd glaciers of the south. These have been the settings for the majority of her projects\, and have therefore been her teachers. For Moller\, every p roject is a direct and unique result of its environment.\n\n \;\n\nLec ture series sponsored by Sciame . . .

Our ninth vol ume\, edited by third-year MLA students Kayla Conroy\, Brandon Loo\, Cathe rine Priolet\, and Jeffrey Schneider\, examines "Top Down Bottom Up" -- te rms used in a variety of fields to describe strategies of knowledge orderi ng and information processing. These expressions have shifted from concept ual use in scientific and humanistic theories into real strategies describ ing the application and practice of design\, thinking\, leadership\, and r esistance. Grassroots organizing or authoritarianism? Break down the syste m into its parts\, or build up its complexity from small base elements or “seeds”? Revolution or reform? Landscape architects traffic in both se eds and systems -- each of these approaches provides a better understandin g of messy οικολογία\, our “household of nature.” Top down or bottom up? Admittedly\, it’s a false dichotomy. Is one strategy more li kely to succeed? Or should we disband this axis entirely and address later al moves\, side-askance glances\, and inside-out inversions? More timely t han we ever expected\, this issue also addresses impacts and responses to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter global uprising.\n\nIsa ac Gertman of the Independent Group is our designer\; the work of photogra pher Virginia Hanusik graces our cover.\n\n \;\n\nTo join this event\, please follow our Zoom link.\n\nMeeting ID: 989 4725 8104\nPasscode: PLOT CATEGORIES:Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:382@ssa.ccny.cuny.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200928T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200928T160000 DTSTAMP:20200828T170118Z URL:https://ssa.ccny.cuny.edu/events/spitzer-school-virtual-tour-and-qa-se ptember-2020/ SUMMARY:Spitzer School Virtual Tour and Q&A - September 2020 DESCRIPTION: \;\n\nLearn about the Spitzer School’s undergraduate and graduate programs.

The Graduate Program in Landscape Architecture at the Spitzer School of Ar chitecture\, City College of New York\, prepares students to be leaders in the field of landscape architecture through innovative research and pract ice in urban ecological design\, planning\, and policymaking. The program aims to reimagine and rethink the profession’s current and future challe nges through the lens of environmental justice\, including globalization\, availability of natural resources\, land management\, and the climate eme rgency. The curriculum engages critical thinking about complex and indeter minate systems\, empowering students to work across multiple scales of the urban landscape.\nLandscape architecture is a discipline that actually wo rks with the surface of the earth -- it literally changes the world and th e world’s systemic flows. Our program attracts activist students who see k to rethink accepted paradigms and implement actionable change in the pub lic realm and the quality of public space in terms of equity\, accessibili ty\, and justice -- climate justice\, social justice\, environmental justi ce\, and multispecies justice. Transforming the profession begins in the a cademy. Our landscape architecture program is committed to challenging the entrenched biases and historical canons of landscape architecture that ha ve too long been accepted as the norm\, and we support the clarity and res onance of our students’ diverse voices in the field.\n CATEGORIES:Events,Grad Info Sessions END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:392@ssa.ccny.cuny.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201029T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201029T200000 DTSTAMP:20211213T155626Z URL:https://ssa.ccny.cuny.edu/events/everyday-ecologies-lecture-2/ SUMMARY:Everyday Ecologies: Lecture 2 DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public - Please register for this Zoom eve nt here.\n\nThe future of the human species is bound up in how we design\, plan\, and live within emergent extremes in global ecosystems.

Paralysis i n the face of contentious issues\, uncritical acceptance of traditional ro les\, sectors\, and hierarchies\, and unquestioned long-held truths inhibi t development of new ideas and approaches to design effectively. To instig ate new approaches\, we have invited designers\, planners\, historians\, a nd social scientists to talk about Everyday Ecosystems: the boundless comm unities we are part of—a cocktail of cultures crossing economic and clas s strata with overlapping gender\, racial\, and spiritual identities—tha t complement but also compete with each other and conflict internally for rights and means to perpetuate their cultural identities\, social relation s\, and environmental resource needs and desires.\nSpeakers will present a “zombie” idea or theory that one of their projects contests through d esign\, planning\, or projective research and analysis. Together\, we aim to develop principles that will establish a foothold from which to launch a new approach to design and planning discourse based neither on privilege d solutions by experts nor abdication of authorship in lieu of community d eterminism.\nFree and open to the public - Please register for this Zoom e vent here.\nModerator: Denise Hoffman Brandt\nLiz Barry\, Ana Maria Duran\ , Matthew Seibert\, Julia Czerniak CATEGORIES:Events,Lectures END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:377@ssa.ccny.cuny.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201116T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201116T190000 DTSTAMP:20200902T161756Z URL:https://ssa.ccny.cuny.edu/events/fall-2020-sciame-series-jeannette-pla ut/ SUMMARY:Fall 2020 Sciame Series: Jeannette Plaut DESCRIPTION:\n\nPlease join us for the new SCIAME Global Spotlight Lecture Series\, titled Far South.

The year-long integrated research culminating in a design realization can be completed in two semesters (fall and sprin g). The remaining six-credit summer studio provides an opportunity for a s elf-directed research with a faculty member. This program\, designed for a dvanced students from different parts of the world\, also affords a suppor tive faculty and advisory staff that connects students to resources within New York City and beyond.\nWithin this flexible curricular framework\, st udents can choose from a number of elective courses and pursue independent coursework. Open-ended and flexible in many respects\, the program does h ave certain priorities: interdisciplinarity\, the city as a learning lab\, experimental learning\, and social engagement. Spitzer School grad progra ms share a teaching\, research\, and design environment known as the unit system. Within year-long\, team-taught\, vertically integrated design unit s\, students and professors work together to define questions and propose design solutions. Just like in the professions\, students synthesize diver se skills and subject areas into their projects.

Conversely\, white Americans are exposed to 17% less pollution than they produce. Are sustainability measures doing enough to r edress such racial disparities? Using Harlem as a starting point\, we expl ore the historic and contemporary reasons that communities of color bear t he brunt of environmental risks\, and we examine the unintended consequenc es of sustainability for environmental justice struggles. Looking forward\ , we also discuss new possibilities and paradigms for redressing environme ntal and climate-related inequalities in Harlem\, in New York City\, and a cross the country.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nMelissa Checker Hagedorn\, Professor of Urban Studies at Queens College\, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Psychology at the CUNY Graduate Center\n\nPeggy Shepard\, C o-founder and Eexecutive Director of WE ACT for Environmental Justice\n\nM oderator:\n\nShawn L.

The series features prominent artists\, activists\, and architects from across the globe who will discus s their work and the unique political and environmental challenges they co nfront.\n\nMaram Masarwi is currently a lecturer and researcher at Tel Avi v University and the head of the Education Department at Al Qasemi College of Education.  Masarwi holds a PhD from the Department of Social Work at Hebrew University. Her dissertation addressed “gender differences in be reavement and trauma among Palestinian parents who lost their children in the Al-Aqsa Intifada.”  Masarwi was a postdoctoral Fellow at the Europe in the Middle East-The Middle East in Europe (EUME)\, Forum of Transregio nal Studies at the Free University of Berlin. Her areas of research have i ncluded Palestinian archives\, memory and commemoration in Palestinian soc iety\, loss and bereavement in Palestinian society\, and gender and nation alism in the Middle East.

Her work includes the photographic series Sta ring (2016–2017)\, photographed in both al-Khalil/Hebron (Palestine) and Kassel (Germany). Her series Heimat (2016–2017) refers to expellees and refugees of German descent and the so-called guest workers\, or Gastarbei ter\, from the Mediterranean region\, both of whom migrated to Kassel and the surrounding area as a result of the Second World War. Occupation (201 6–2017)\, another series of photographs\, is based on the destruction of Palestinian livelihoods in al-Khalil/Hebron and the occupied territories by the Israeli colonial regime and the actions of Zionist settlers. Ramall ah Archive (2014) points to ways of reorganizing collective and individual existence encountered in files and photographic negatives found in the Ra mallah Municipality Archive. Death (2011–2012) shows the efforts of Pale stinian society to preserve the presence of those who have lost their live s fighting against the Israeli occupation. Eastern LGBT (2004/2006) illust rates the bodies of lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender people from O riental societies as a contested primary home.

Through the nonprofit design studio Terrefo rm\, he rejected top-down planning projects and imagined alternatives with community advocates.\nHis writing and wit enticed the public to consider how architecture shapes society. From his early days as Village Voice arch itecture critic through his late career as publisher of the Urban Research imprint\, he exhorted the design community to embrace social justice with exhilarating demands. His seminal books included Exquisite Corpse and Twe nty Minutes in Manhattan.\nAs distinguished professor at the City College of New York\, Michael also inspired legions of architects and cultural the orists through his teaching and late-night debates at CCNY and universitie s around the world. As board member of the Architectural League of New Yor k and founding president of the Urban Design Forum\, he balanced generous collegiality with energizing defiance.\nOn the first anniversary of his lo ss to COVID-19\, we will gather his comrades Trevor Boddy\, Teddy Cruz &am p\; Fonna Forman\, Eyal Weizman\, and Sharon Zukin and his wife\, Joan Cop jec\, to consider: What would Michael call on us to do next?\nThis event i s sponsored jointly by the Architectural League of New York\, CCNY's Berna rd and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture\, Terreform\, and the Urban Des ign Forum.\nPlease consider making a $10 contribution to support continuin g educational and leadership development initiatives honoring Michael Sork in.

Höcek\, an d Martin Stigsgaard argue that the traditional format of a single lectur er speaking to an audience sets up a binary opposite all of its own -- spe aker/listener\, which simply reinforces the power structure between those who "possess" knowledge and those who "consume" it. In its place\, the &am p\;/Or Online Dialogues will present two speakers in conversation with eac h other\, moderated by a third. The series features prominent artists\, ac tivists\, and architects from across the globe who will discuss their work and the unique political and environmental challenges they confront.\n\nB alkrishna Doshi\, recipient of the prestigious Pritzker Prize (2018)\, is one of the pioneers of modernist architecture in India. In a career spanni ng several decades\, Doshi completed more than 100 projects\, including pu blic institutions\, schools\, libraries\, art centers\, and low-cost housi ng. His buildings adapted the principles he learned from working with Le C orbusier and Louis Kahn to the needs of people considering India’s tradi tions\, lifestyles\, and environment. Doshi is an important figure in Indi an architecture\, noted for his contribution to the evolution of architect ural discourse in India. Noteworthy projects: IIM Bangalore\, IIM Udaipur\ , NIFT Delhi\, Amdavad ni Gufa\, CEPT University\, Aranya Low-Cost Housing (awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture).\n\nBarry Bergdoll is the M eyer Schapiro Professor of Art History at Columbia University and the form er Chief Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museu m of Modern Art\, New York (2007-2014).

Architectural investigations and drawing merged with intervi ews\, archives\, and analysis to understand the matrix of institutions\, c ultural practices\, and strategies deployed in the neighborhoods of Jackso n Heights\, Elmhurst\, Corona\, and Flushing. Students translated this res earch into architectural speculations\, apparatuses that seek to reshape e ntrenched processes to nurture rather than dictate life.\n\nFrom memorials for immigrant health care workers to new spaces for youth socialization\; from reimagined food commissaries from the perspective of precarious vend ors to radical new connections between construction work and children’s play\, 12 projects are excerpted and organized among four carts. Drawings\ , models\, videos\, and interviews are intended to share with the Queens c ommunity the potential of creativity in transforming the lives of its resi dents.\n\nThese are not answers. They are propositions that reflect possib ilities for changing our environments\, fostering cultures of solidarity a cross groups separated by language\, citizenship\, and economic opportunit y. As we engage with the questions these projects raise\, we might renew o ur understanding of how places and spaces operate in everyday life and ima gine new ways of being together.\n\nInstructors\nArchitect Nandini Bagchee \nAnthropologist Vyjayanthi Rao\nUnit Collaborator Nicolas Losi\n\nStudent s\nBrittany Gray\, Caitlin McManus\, Christian Coronel\, David Ruiz\, Dax Masiglat\, Deidre Nolan\, Henry Aguilar-Morales\, Hito Rodriguez\, Krystal Kaler\, Nick Wu\, Pedro Cruz Cruz\, Sayem Shah\, Victor Gorlach\, and Yoo Jin Jang\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Events,Exhibits END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:458@ssa.ccny.cuny.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210522T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210522T163000 DTSTAMP:20210520T181932Z URL:https://ssa.ccny.cuny.edu/events/building-culture-community-conversati on/ SUMMARY:Building Culture: Community Conversation DESCRIPTION:Location\nThe Queens Museum\, New York City Building\nFlushing Meadows Corona Park\nQueens\, NY 11368\n\nPlease join us for a community c onversation in conjunction with the current Queens Museum exhibition and culmination of the year-long Unit 25: Building Culture\, a transdisciplina ry graduate design studio at the Spitzer School of Architecture.\n\nThis i n-person conversation will delve into the research and speculative design work of the students currently showing at the Queens Museum.

The G raduate Program in Landscape Architecture at the Spitzer School of Archite cture\, City College of New York\, prepares students to be leaders in the field of landscape architecture through innovative research and practice i n urban ecological design\, planning\, and policymaking. The program aims to reimagine and rethink the profession’s current and future challenges through the lens of environmental justice\, including globalization\, avai lability of natural resources\, land management\, and the climate emergenc y. The curriculum engages critical thinking about complex and indeterminat e systems\, empowering students to work across multiple scales of the urba n landscape.\n\nLandscape architecture is a discipline that actually works with the surface of the earth -- it literally changes the world and the w orld’s systemic flows. Our program attracts activist students who seek t o rethink accepted paradigms and implement actionable change in the public realm and the quality of public space in terms of equity\, accessibility\ , and justice -- climate justice\, social justice\, environmental justice\ , and multispecies justice. Transforming the profession begins in the acad emy.

The work meditates on the intern ational constellation of Afrodiasporic spaces. Most recently\, he has been analyzing the socio-spatial identities of two urban marketplaces: Kariako o in Dar es Salaam and Merkato in Addis Ababa.

Woodson National Historic Site. She examines the legacy a nd impact of the Afro-American Bicentennial Corporation (ABC)\, illustrati ng how the ABC set the precedent for a more nuanced understanding of the A merican past by expanding the National Park Service’s inclusion of Black historic landmarks twentyfold\, including the Woodson site. The organizat ion’s mission was to increase participation of African Americans in the 1976 Bicentennial and to direct projects that highlighted Black history\, but most importantly to be a “‘vehicle’ for improving the lives of B lack Americans.” ⁠ The group worked to “continue the revolution” through the “process of decolonization\, a movement toward self-realizat ion and self-government by people determined not to be kept in a subject s tatus.” Wiley’s research will tell the story of the broadening of hist oric preservation field in the Bicentennial area\, and document the histor y and condition of the landmarks nominated by ABC. Preservation was a tact ic for curating a cultural heritage that hitherto was rendered invisible\, but the aims of ABC were also a part of the larger freedom struggle for B lack Americans. Her work will connect this important past with the continu ing effort to identify\, contextualize\, and save Black landmarks within c urrent preservation practice.\nSuggested Reading: Carter G.

See above or on YouTube.\n\n \;\nForum on the Nature of Enclosure\n Jeffrey S. Nesbit and Shawn Rickenbacker come together to discuss the upco ming book\, Nature of Enclosure (Actar Publishers\, 2022). In this forum \, topics and themes challenge historical episodes of the enclosed environ ment and reflect on its cultural impact in contemporary society.\n\nFrom C rystal Palace in 1851 to Buckminster Fuller’s Spaceship Earth in 1969\, nature became enclosed. Claimed to be a reaction of Norbert Weiner’s cyb ernetics\, Fuller’s geodesic domes became symbols of American countercul ture. Yet\, from Fuller’s description of Spaceship Earth “sea masters\ ,” the dome seems to prioritize an environment of occupation inside the dome\, over those residing outside--a world of civilized control on its in terior and wilderness\, war\, and wasteland on the other side. Nature of E nclosure is a series of conversations to gather experts from a range of di sciplines\, including architects\, landscape architects\, historians\, des ign theory scholars\, geographers\, historians of science and technology\, and professionals at the intersection of architecture and the environment .

One of the challe nges is how to conduct research on historic resources of marginalized comm unities where the source material is seemingly difficult to access or none xistent\, including where the historic properties no longer exist. In her research and scholarship\, Dr. Tara A. Dudley engages with repressed untol d histories and works to demystify the process\, paths\, and methods of ma rginalized contributors to the built environment and reassert their histor ic agency. In her lecture for the spring 2022 Sciame lecture series\, she will share some of her experiences identifying and conducting research on free people of color in New Orleans and African American builders and heri tage sites in Texas over the last two decades.\n\n \;\nSPEAKER\nDr. Ta ra A. Dudley is an Assistant Professor in The University of Texas at Austi n School of Architecture\, where she teaches architectural history and int erior design courses. Her scholarship examines the contributions of Africa n American builders and architects to the American built environment\, foc using on the antebellum and Reconstruction eras in the US South. Her work reflects an interdisciplinary approach to the study of cultural resources with a focus on nineteenth-century American design\, African American arch itectural history\, historic preservation\, and material culture. She is t he author of Building Antebellum New Orleans: Free People of Color and The ir Influence (University of Texas Press\, 2021)\, winner of the Associatio n of American Publishers 2022 Prose Award in Architecture &\; Urban Pla nning. Her in-progress works include a biography on the life and work of A frican-American architect John Saunders Chase and a co-edited volume that addresses the past in the present in relation to slavery and oppression in the built environment.\n\nhttps://soa.utexas.edu/people/tara-dudley\n\nSu ggested Reading: "Before West Campus: Rediscovery and Preservation of Whea tville's West Campus\,” Platform (2019-2020): 8-11\n\nhttps://utpress.u texas.edu/books/dudley-building-antebellum-new-orleans\n\n \;\nSeries Theme -- Radical Black Space\nThe Spring 2022 Sciame Lecture series\, them ed Radical Black Space\, brings together architects\, preservationists\, p lanners\, artists\, and historians of color at a precipitous moment.

Register here and then check your email immediately f or the passcode needed to join.\n\n\n\n \;\n2015 MOCA REAL ESTATE ACQU ISITION\nBeginning in 1933 risk assessment maps developed by the Home Owne rs' Loan Corporation directly influenced the mortgage lending of private b anks\, the Federal Housing Administration\, and the Veterans Administratio n. The restriction of financing on the basis of race became known as redli ning. The Federal Housing Administration used and continued to update the maps\, continued the HOLC’s use of race and the criteria of “inharmoni ous racial groups” in their ratings\, and recommended the use of raciall y restrictive covenants. Redlining codified the use of racial discriminati on to enhance real estate markets and formalized segregation as federal po licy. It also incepted redevelopment projects that resulted in widespread displacement\, dislocation\, and dispossession. Like sharecropping\, redli ning systematically maintained racial-economic subordination to white citi zens\, federally defining the terms of property ownership on the basis of race.\n\n \;\nSPEAKER\nCameron Rowland\n\nCameron Rowland (American\, born 1988) creates work that centers on the material operations of racial capitalism that order everyday life. Rowland’s work relies on a material ist approach to the conditions of production that structure both instituti ons of subjection as well as their refusal. The work is grounded in a crit ique of property\, and the capacity for art to function as a medium of thi s critique.\n\nRowland’s work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Arts\, London\; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles\; Kunsthalle Freiburg\, Switzerland\; and Artists Space\, New York\, among others. Their work has recently been included in group exhib itions at Mudam\, Luxembourg\; Museum of Modern Art\, New York\; and Museu m of Fine Art\, Houston\; as well as others. Rowland is a 2019 MacArthur f ellow and currently lives and works in New York.\n\n \;\nSeries Theme -- Radical Black Space\nThe Spring 2022 Sciame Lecture series\, themed Rad ical Black Space\, brings together architects\, preservationists\, planner s\, artists\, and historians of color at a precipitous moment. The Movemen t for Black Lives demands that Americans from all walks of life confront r acism and its sordid impact on constructed environments\, and understand t he rich\, vital tradition of Black resistance\, innovation\, and creativit y. Speakers will touch on many questions: How do the places and things mad e by African Americans disrupt the racial status quo in the United States? How is difference celebrated? How is equity imagined and achieved? What c onstitutes anti-racist spatial practice? Radical Black Space shows that th e Black radical tradition is alive in art and architecture\, and that havi ng a handle on Black history is essential to understanding the present and shaping the future. Join us to find revolution in the everyday and to rec ognize the extraordinary places and objects that Black Americans make and the stories they tell about themselves. Radical Black Space is convened by Marta Gutman and Jerome Haferd.\nSciame Lecture Series with additional fu nding provided by the Bernard &\; Anne Spitzer School of Architecture F und.

Her research and teaching foreg rounds the agency of populations under struggle and the multiple forms of bias embedded in the built environment and its histories. León is author of Modernity for the Masses: Antonio Bonet's Dreams for Buenos Aires (Univ ersity of Texas Press\, 2021) and A Ruin in Reverse / Bones of the Nation (ARQ\, 2021) and teaches at the Harvard GSD\, where she is associate profe ssor.\n\n"The Settler Colonial Exhibitionary Complex: Argentina\, 1888": T hinking about the project of an Indigenous modernity\, Aymara Bolivian sch olar Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui has described how this project emerges from a non-linear understanding of history\, in which the past-future is contai ned in the present. In this talk\, León reflects on the historiographic p ossibilities of this approach through her research on the Museum of La Pla ta. This building can be understood as an apparatus that allows us to trac e different networks of exchange operating at vast distances in time and p lace: from the British Empire to the Argentinian pampas\, from Pleistocene bones to the nineteenth-century wars against the peoples of the Americas -- and  finally\, from an imaginary remote past to a settler colonial pre sent. Standing at the crux of these networks\, the museum was instrumental in dissociating Indigenous populations from their contemporary context an d presenting them instead as subjects belonging to a distant past. In doin g so\, the institution was and remains complicit with processes of genocid e and empire expansion\, linking these networks of resource extraction and industrialization to the decimation of one of the oldest populations of t he American continent.\n\nDean Marta Gutman and Visiting Scholar William B rinkman-Clark will introduce the speaker.\n\nSuggested Reading: Bones of t he Nation\n\n \;\n\n"Border Crossings: Architecture and Migration" in the Americas presents meditations on the topic of migration from nontradi tional\, creative\, and interdisciplinary perspectives. The distinguished speakers -- architects\, landscape architects\, architecture historians\, social historians\, a philosopher\, an anthropologist\, and an attorney -- question conventions\, especially the conceptualization of migration as l inear. They frame migration as a multivalent process\, considering the liv ed realities and material conditions of migration\, historically and in th e present. Migration in the Americas is more than just the movement and re settlement of bodies\, numbers that cross lines and appear/disappear in di fferent places. Migration is not merely (dis)placement\, it is also a meta morphosis. Migrants are human beings who are transformed to the core by th eir movement\, and they transform not only their places of departure and a rrival\, but the entire space that is filled with their journeys.\n\n  \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium with remote opt ion available.\n\nSee https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/return-campus for current requirements for in-person visitors.\n\n \;\n\nThis lecture series is made possible by the Spitzer Architecture Fund and the generous support of Frank Sciame ’74\, CEO of Sciame Construction.\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Archived Video,Events,Lectures,Sciame Lectures LOCATION:Sciame Auditorium (Room 107)\, 141 Convent Avenue\, New York\, NY\ , 10031\, United States GEO:40.8177595;-73.95047339999996 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=141 Convent Avenue\, New Yo rk\, NY\, 10031\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Sciame Auditori um (Room 107):geo:40.8177595,-73.95047339999996 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:559@ssa.ccny.cuny.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220915T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220915T134500 DTSTAMP:20220912T150448Z URL:https://ssa.ccny.cuny.edu/events/study-abroad-spring-2023-info-session / SUMMARY:Study Abroad Spring 2023 Info Session DESCRIPTION:Great news!

Gabriel’s studio teaching is foc used on multi-scalar and polyvalent research and service-learning projects for the Border Region between the United States and México. Gabriel keep s a part-time practice in urban design and landscape architecture as found ing partner of LABor Studio\, based in Chihuahua City\, México. Gabriel ’s research and teaching is also concentrated in the advocacy and develo pment of a landscape architecture specific to Latin American regions.\n\n" Finding and Operationalizing Common Ground in the U.S.-Mexico Border Regio n": The United States and Mexico share most of the North American continen t. While their relationship is full of asymmetric dimensions and their cor responding booms and busts\, both cannot ignore their inescapable ecology found in their shared landscapes. When planning and designing the inhabita tion of their common ground\, most of the attention is unsurprisingly focu sed on economic and political infrastructures\, while little attention is invested on socio-ecological infrastructures. Typically\, the national sca le political conversation -- or conflict -- supersedes the local and commu nity-oriented dialogues\, which are much richer\, positive\, and suggestiv e.  This is unsustainable. This presentation is a proposal to adjust and diversify the understanding of their common ground toward sustainability a nd resiliency\, from the top down and the bottom up. This is to be demonst rated through a series of professional and academic studio-based projects that recognize social\, cultural\, and economic differences\, while reveal ing shared opportunities and practices. The projects are multi-scalar and polyvalent\, ranging from the territorial to the urban to the neighborhood and the site specific. Project locations include "Ambas Nogales" (Spanish for "Both Nogaleses\," one in Arizona\, one in Sonora)\, Hermosillo\, Ciu dad Juarez\, Chihuahua City\, and the Lower Rio Grande/Bravo Delta/Valley. \n\nProfessor Catherine Seavitt Nordenson will introduce the speaker.\n\nS uggested Reading: From The Ground Up\n\n \;\n\n"Border Crossings: Arch itecture and Migration" in the Americas presents meditations on the topic of migration from nontraditional\, creative\, and interdisciplinary perspe ctives.

Alvarez DESCRIPTION:This lecture is held in-person and is part of the Fall 2022 Sci ame Lecture Series\, titled "Border Crossings: Architecture and Migration in the Americas."\n\n \;\n\nC.J. Alvarez is the author of Border Land\ , Border Water: A History of Construction on the U.S.-Mexico Divide\, the first broad-sweeping history of building projects on the border. He is cur rently writing a book about the history of the Chihuahuan Desert\, the lar gest and least-known desert in North America. He grew up in Las Cruces\, New Mexico\, studied art history at Stanford and Harvard\, and received hi s doctorate in history from the University of Chicago. He is currently an associate professor in the department of Mexican American and Latina/o Stu dies at the University of Texas at Austin.\n\n"The Natural and Built Envir onments of the U.S.-Mexico Border": The political divide that separates th e United States from Mexico passes through six different ecological region s. Each one of these “ecoregions” has a distinctive climate\, specific configurations of plants and animals\, and unique topography. The politic al border does not conform in any meaningful way to these environmental bo undaries. The political divide does\, however\, commandeer two rivers -- t he Colorado and the Rio Grande -- and for part of their lengths demands th at they adhere to the predictability and fixity required of modern politic al borders. In his book Border Land\, Border Water: A History of Construct ion on the U.S.-Mexico Divide\, Alvarez explains the border as a history o f accretion\, an ever-more complicated system of barrier infrastructure on land and hydraulic engineering projects on the rivers. Today\, the enviro nmental unity of border regions has been eclipsed by the built environment which has\, in turn\, impoverished our imaginations. But his current rese arch and book project go beyond the built environment\, deeper into time a nd further into the realms of the nonhuman world. This talk is about the r elationship of political borders and environmental boundaries\, the contra st between contemporary political developments and the multimillennial his tory of environmental regions and rivers\, and the tension between anthrop ocentrism and ecocentrism.\n\nChair Sean Weiss will introduce the speaker. \n\nSuggested reading: Alvarez's book Border Land\, Border Water: A Histor y of Construction on the U.S.-Mexico Divide (University of Texas Press\, 2019)\, or\, alternatively\, for an article-length piece with some of the key ideas of the book\, "Police\, Waterworks\, and the Construction of the U.S.-Mexico Border\, 1924–1954\," Western Historical Quarterly\, Volume 50\, Issue 3\, Autumn 2019\, Pages 233–256.\n\n"Border Crossings: Archi tecture and Migration" in the Americas presents meditations on the topic of migration from nontraditional\, creative\, and interdisciplinary perspe ctives. The distinguished speakers -- architects\, landscape architects\, architecture historians\, social historians\, a philosopher\, an anthropol ogist\, and an attorney -- question conventions\, especially the conceptua lization of migration as linear. They frame migration as a multivalent pro cess\, considering the lived realities and material conditions of migratio n\, historically and in the present. Migration in the Americas is more tha n just the movement and resettlement of bodies\, numbers that cross lines and appear/disappear in different places. Migration is not merely (dis)pla cement\, it is also a metamorphosis. Migrants are human beings who are tra nsformed to the core by their movement\, and they transform not only their places of departure and arrival\, but the entire space that is filled wit h their journeys.\n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public \, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium with remote option available.

Cantera literally means “qu arry\,” but the Spanish word is used in Mexico to describe a specific br ittle rock used to build colonial churches and civic infrastructure. More recently\, a network of Mexican quarrymen\, stonemasons\, homebuilders\, a rchitects\, and businessmen have refined a cantera market that caters to a Mexican and Mexican American clientele in the American Southwest. "Archit ectural History Is Migrant History" recasts Mexican construction-related l abor by tracking the development of a meaningful and sophisticated industr y that has reshaped design norms and building trades in two countries from the shadows of a formal American economy.\n\n \;\n\n"Border Crossings : Architecture and Migration" in the Americas presents meditations on the topic of migration from nontraditional\, creative\, and interdisciplinary perspectives.

In his talk\, drawing f rom a new book project of the same name\, Dr. Farber contends we must re-e nvision and build a more just\, accurate\, and healing future through monu ments that are meant to evolve and adapt through time. Farber weaves histo rical research\, memoir\, and travelog to challenge the binaries of “per manent” and “temporary\,” “past” and “future\,” “preservat ion” and “change\,” to grasp the story of a monument landscape pulle d between stasis and change.

The mission of the Ma ster of Landscape Architecture Program at the Spitzer School of Architectu re\, City College of New York\, is to prepare students to be leaders in th e field of landscape architecture through innovative research and practice in urban ecological design\, planning\, and policymaking. The program aim s to reimagine and rethink the profession’s current and future challenge s through the lens of social\, environmental\, and multi-species justice\, including rapid urbanization\, resource extraction and management\, the i nterface of nature and technology\, ongoing species extinctions\, and the climate emergency. The curriculum engages critical thinking about complex and indeterminate systems\, empowering students to implement actionable ch ange across multiple scales of the urban landscape.\n\nLandscape architect ure is a discipline that physically transforms the surface of the earth — it literally changes the world and the world’s systemic flows. As de signers and thinkers\, we work with biotic and abiotic networks of human a nd non-human actors. Our discipline also has the capacity to radically ret hink and transform social networks\, and we are especially well-poised to respond to the climate emergency with both mitigation and adaptation strat egies. Our program attracts activist students who seek to rethink accepted paradigms and implement actionable change in the public realm and the qua lity of public space in terms of equity\, accessibility\, and justice: cli mate justice\, social justice\, environmental justice\, and multispecies j ustice. Transforming the profession begins in the academy. Our landscape a rchitecture program is committed to challenging the entrenched biases and historical canons of landscape architecture that have too long been accept ed as the norm\, and we support the clarity and resonance of our students ’ diverse voices in the field.\n\nGraduate programs at the Spitzer Schoo l of Architecture share a transdisciplinary design-research environment of vertical studio laboratories. First-year MLA students enroll in a foundat ion year of coursework addressing design thinking across nature and cultur e while building digital\, technical\, ecological\, and critical-thinking skills. Second-year and third-year MLA students enroll in advanced landsca pe architecture studio laboratories and one co-required course each semest er in which students and professors work synthetically across disciplines for a two-semester engagement with exploratory research and projective des ign. These advanced studio labs and coordinated coursework incorporate des ign research\, advanced digital representation\, and history/theory to add ress “wicked problems” in landscape architecture through extended desi gn thinking. Upper-level students take two additional courses each semeste r that engage with technical\, ecological\, and professional practice topi cs.

His research focuses on the cosmetic relation between the aesthetic and the politic as it regards publ ic space and Architecture. He has written various articles for Historia y Grafía\, Cuadernos de Vivienda y Urbanismo\, Theorein and Bitácora Arquitectura. In 2019 he published Ciudad:Tragedia\, an exploration of the unavoidably tragic nature of all modern practices of architectural and urban design. His forthcoming book\, Antígona Plástica\, explores the way aesthetic categories of rigidity and uprightness have manifested and entrenched themselves in western notions of class and gender\, and how the concept of plasticity can be an instrument that can not only help us i n understanding the resilience of traditional societal structuring\, but a lso in their dismantlement.\n\nThroughout late-modernity\, Architecture ha s progressively relied on scientific and technological knowledge as a mean s to justify itself and its projects. With some notable exceptions\, aesth etic considerations have been relegated to a secondary or complementary ro le. Beauty in Architecture has become something that can be considered onl y if Reason has first solved its socio-economical requirements\; and even then\, we tend to frame the quest for Beauty as superficial\, capricious\, and banal.\n\nThroughout Western Culture\, Beauty has had an unrelinquish able part in the construction of any World deemed worthy of chasing. Archi tecture holds a special responsibility in these Ethics: the Vitruvian Tria d does not give us a choice on whether we should incorporate Beauty into o ur design of the habitable world\; it mandates Stability\, Utility\,and Be auty.\n\nIn the relation between Architecture and Migration\, this forgott en mandate becomes apparent. Solving problems such as -- among others -- h ousing for the displaced or shelter for those in movement in a functional and economical manner is\, of course\, indispensable. However\, Architectu re must remember that Beauty it is one of the main forces that jumpstarts human movement. Aristotle speculated that only a beautiful image can move us in the direction of what is fair and just. Has that really changed? If not\, Architecture must not only reconsider the importance of Beauty\, it must also question who determines what is Beautiful: are we to continue pr etending a few can dictate what Beauty is\, or are we to open our eyes to what really moves people\; to Democratic Beauty?\n\n \;\n\nProfessor B radley Horn will introduce the speaker.\n\nSuggested Reading: Notes on th e Topologies of the Migrant Body and the Philosophy of the History of Capi tal.\n\n \;\n\n"Border Crossings: Architecture and Migration" in the Americas presents meditations on the topic of migration from nontraditiona l\, creative\, and interdisciplinary perspectives.

They frame migration as a multivalent process\, considering the lived re alities and material conditions of migration\, historically and in the pre sent.

Migration is not merely (dis)placement\, it is also a metamorph osis.

Previously he was professor in the Law Department o f Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City and  visiting professor at th e Universidade Federal do Para in Brazil and the Universidad de los Andes in Colombia. Most of his academic work is in the areas of legal theory\, i nternational law\, and law and the humanities.  Currently he is intereste d in the relationship between legal geography and the constitution of glob al value chains in the agricultural sector\, and he is working on issues o f transnational social mobilization\, in areas such as labor\, and the rel ationship with the constitution of space by law.\n\n \;\n\n"The Legal Geographies of the Agricultural Borderlands: Migrant Labor\, Food\, and Wa terways": This lecture is centered on the relationship between law and spa ce in places where territory\, jurisdiction\, and state control both are a mplified and collapsed\, such is the experience on the U.S. and Mexico Bor derlands. This territory is marked by the bodies of both of migrants force d to risk their lives crossing the evermore dangerous and extreme parts of the border but also the masses of formally and informally recognized agri cultural workers. Some of these workers are permanent residents\, others a re seasonal workers\, and still others have other legal status. Neverthele ss\, they represent the backbone of agricultural business in the U.S. They also have strong cultural\, family\, and economic ties to their homeland\ , both as fundamental links in global production chains in food products t hat are exported globally and even back to their communities in rural Mexi co and as important sources of financing with their remittances. Continuou s and massive migration from the Mexican rural landscape to the U.S. leave s many communities without agricultural expertise and dwindles their own p roduction. Categorized under the contradictory term of essential workers\, these workers have been made a priority under the migration policies of b oth the U.S. and Canada. These workers have also introduced new food stapl es and cultures in the U.S.\, and some of them have even developed their o wn food distribution systems. Finally\, the lecture will close with the te nsions around water sources in the border that are derived form agricultur al production in the North\, while diminishing the possibilities of social reproduction of communities in Mexico.\n\n \;\n\nVisiting Scholar Wil liam Brinkman-Clark will introduce the speaker.\n\n \;\n\nSuggested Re adings:\nPaqueteros and Paqueteras: Humanizing a Dehumanized Food System\n \nBay View Irrigation Case.  Investment Arbitration.\n\n \;\n\n"Borde r Crossings: Architecture and Migration" in the Americas presents meditat ions on the topic of migration from nontraditional\, creative\, and interd isciplinary perspectives.

This evening event will include studio visits\, a welcome by De an Marta Gutman\, a program overview by Acting Director Frank Melendez\, a panel discussion with faculty and recent graduates\, Q&\;A\, and an op portunity for feedback on your portfolio materials.\n\nConfirmed Speakers: \n\n Professor Pedro Cruz Cruz '22\n Professor Sam Richman '21\n Anthon y Nieto '23\n Albany Ramirez Espinoza '23\n Hannah Borgeson\, Director o f Graduate Affairs\n\nThe M Arch I program invests in the project as the v ehicle of thought\, learning\, and change. First is a foundation year of s kill-building\, followed by two vertically integrated\, comprehensive\, ye ar-long studies\, each working closely with two or three faculty members. Other consultants collaborate and tutor at different times throughout the year.\n\nMany students come into the program driven by questions they are seeking to address. Our project-focused format provides a place -- a scaff old -- to engage these questions within the context of an architectural st udio and the discipline of a project. The time we give to these projects p romotes a dialogue among professors and classmates\, where the ambition is for all of us to learn to ask better questions.\n\nThe project covers the conventional areas of architecture and emerging architectural research to pics including -- design\, history\, theory\, critical thinking\, structur es\, technology\, material assembly\, building science -- and also allows for the professors’ interests and the students’ interest to commingle.   Projects are substantial and cross-disciplinary because of the time we allocate to them -- a rehearsal for the practice of architecture that so m any of our students engage in upon graduation. New York City serves as our open library\, our lab\, our inspiration\, our call to change\, our call to keep up with change. The city invites us to participate\, perhaps to le ad\, but mostly to contribute in the discussion of what our world is and h ow better we might live in it.\n\nSpitzer School grad programs share a tea ching\, research\, and design environment known as the unit system. Within year-long\, team-taught\, vertically integrated design studios\, upper-le vel students and professors work together to define questions and propose design solutions. Just like in the professions\, students synthesize diver se skills and subject areas into their projects. Check out this year’s d esign studio topics as well as student projects and work from previous yea rs.\n\n \;\nAdmissions\nAll undergraduate backgrounds welcome in the M Arch I program\; its prerequisites are one semester of both college-level precalculus and physics. Our next deadline is in January 2023 to begin st udies in Fall 2023. Please see instructions on our Graduate Application In structions page.\n\n \;\nAccreditation\nThe Master of Architecture I program is accredited. See the NAAB section of this site for more inform ation and links regarding accreditation.\n\n \;\nSTEM Designation\nBot h the M Arch I and MS Arch programs are listed within the U.S. government ’s official STEM fields list and are therefore eligible for the STEM OPT extension for F-1 students.

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.

This session will include a program overview by Professor Julio Salcedo-Fernandez\, a discussion with students and recent graduates\, and Q&\;A.\n\nConfirmed speakers:\n\n Anabella Acevedo Peña '22\n Angie Montenegro '23\n\nThe Urban Design program is newly centered on participatory urbanism\, the premise that only a combina tion of leadership\, technical\, and design skills will lead to meaningful change in the way we think\, plan\, and construct our built environments. Building on the leadership of the late Michael Sorkin\, the program is sp ecifically designed to foster new conversations in response to our urbaniz ed planetary crises and provide transformative alternatives that radically reimagine our cities as equitable\, diverse\, resourceful\, and ecologica lly nimble.\n\nSpitzer School grad programs share a teaching\, research\, and design environment known as the unit system. Within year-long\, team-t aught\, vertically integrated design units\, students and professors work together to define questions and propose design solutions. Just like in th e professions\, students synthesize diverse skills and subject areas into their projects. Check out this year’s design units.\n\nOur next priority deadline is in January 2023 to begin studies in Fall 2023. Please see ins tructions on our Graduate Application Instructions page.

Abruptly canceled perhaps due to the Ming state’s res ource exhaustion\, these armadas nevertheless present an intriguing case s tudy for what it could mean for a Ming maritime infrastructural state. The study of the constructed environment has always been one about the indepe ndent city\, memorably formulated in one instance by Max Weber. By shiftin g the narrative to one about the infrastructural state\, this lecture seek s to understand the intricate relationship between the city and the state. In the case of the Ming maritime expansion\, the material forms of the ar madas – from the numbers and sizes of ships to people and gifts on them – somewhat resemble a floating city like the new Ming capital of the For bidden City simultaneously being constructed in Beijing. Looming large as a mobile forbidden city\, they sought to expand the prestige\, influence\, and trade monopoly of the Ming state into the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean by establishing alliances with local kings and chiefs\, supp ressing hostile forces\, and constructing official factories from Malacca to Calicut. The armadas attempted to replicate the long-standing craft of state-building through infrastructural developments but encountered intrac table problems. This unprecedented endeavor to enlarge the Ming state into the Indian Ocean left an enduring legacy\; it stimulated Indian Ocean tra de\, linked coastal trading cities in the South China Sea\, Java and Sumat ra\, the Gulf of Thailand\, Bay of Bengal\, Malabar\, the Persian Gulf\, a nd East Africa\, paving the way for Vasco da Gama to enter and disrupt thi s pre-existing maritime world order.\n\nSuggested Reading: Shiqiao Li\, “The State Function of Architecture”\, Routledge Handbook of Chinese A rchitecture (London and New York: Routledge\, 2022)\, pp.702-12.\n\n \ ;\n\n"Across the Pacific Rim: Architecture and Landscape in Translation" b egins with what the Pacific Ocean is: a fluid place\, a sea where ideas\, people\, and artifacts move.

These stories t race specificities of our lived Chinese-diasporic experiences through indi vidually and collectively authored projects\, ranging from designing coope rative games to looking for Chinese rural settlements in archival fire ins urance maps to organizing with collectives. Prompted by questions about ac curacy and precision\, intent and impact\, and the limits of translation\, the lecture itself can be understood as a set of diasporic translations. Many of us from diasporas begin practicing translation early in life\, nav igating multiple verbal and body languages\, conflicting cultural values\, and even creating new languages such as Chinglish. As these practices evo lve over time and space\, the joyful coexistence of a multitude of perspec tives deepens our relationships with one another and the world. Translatin g is relating! Ultimately\, our aim is to use diasporic practices of trans lation to frame a conversation with students about future models of design practice\, pedagogy\, and organizing.\n\nSuggested Reading: Dark Matter U niversity. “The other day we started a shared doc…” In Log 54: Coaut horing\, edited by Cynthia Davidson\, Ann Lui\, Ana Miljački\, and Patric k Templeton\, 27-30.

Prior to joining Parks\, she was a Principal Resea rcher and Project Manager at Terreform\, the urban research studio founded by Michael Sorkin. Her work at Terreform was published by UR as Gowntown: A 197-X Plan for Upper Manhattan in 2016. Her background includes bench r esearch in plant breeding and genomics\, in addition to animal science. Sh e developed curriculum at the Nanobiotechnology Center and Cornell Univers ity\, designing K-12 science kits and laboratory modules for programs that were funded by the National Science Foundation and National Institute of Health\, prior to pursuing her MLA.\n\nJing Fan MLA '12\, RLA\, Associate Principal\, Hargreaves Jones Landscape Architecture\, has worked on a vari ety of high-profile projects in the United States and China\, including pu blic parks\, urban plazas\, campuses\, and mixed-use developments. She bri ngs a deep passion for integrating vibrant public realm landscapes with ur ban development so that cities and communities can thrive\, supported by h er professional background in both landscape architecture and urban planni ng. Jing has led many projects from concept design through construction do cumentation and implementation\, including many urban landscapes built on structure. Jing led the team on Google's Charleston East Campus project in Mountain View\, CA\, a project that is currently under construction and w ill create a significant public open space for both Google employees and t he local community\, while re-establishing the urban ecological system. Ji ng also led the design of Margaret T. Hance Park Design and Development\, a 32-acre Park over a US interstate highway in downtown Phoenix\, AZ. The redevelopment of this existing park over the highway will provide a downto wn oasis and regional destination. Jing is currently completing work on Pe nn’s Landing Park\, a 12-acre park that bridges over I-95 in downtown Ph iladelphia\, bringing communities to the Delaware River waterfront.\n\n"Sp itzer Alumni Panel: Different Pathways\, Same Landscapes": NYC Parks is th e steward of over 30\,000 acres of land and the principal provider of recr eational and athletic facilities and programs for the City of New York.

Her first book\, The Tyranny of the Straight Line: Mapping Modern Paris (Yale University Press\, forthcoming 2024) outl ines the cartographic survey of the French capital during the nineteenth c entury. Her current research is on spaces of Korean migration during the C old War in a project titled\, Mapping Wigs and Plywood: Korean Migration a nd the African-American Landscape. At present\, she is a New Directions Me llon Foundation Fellow and associate research fellow at The Heyman Center for Humanities at Columbia University.\n\n"Wig Spaces: Korean Migration an d the African American Street": Following the Korean War\, the military go vernment of South Korea sponsored specific industries to improve the dire post-war economic situation. Central to this strategy was to identify expo rt goods that optimized local resources and knowledge\, and that targeted international markets. Among those exports were wigs\, and by the sixties\ , Seoul became the global center for wig manufacturing\, relying on its ow n female population for hair supplies and cheap labor. These wigs were exp orted to the US and specifically targeted the growing consumer market of A frican American women who had settled in northern cities since the Jim Cro w era. Wig stores were run by new Korean immigrants in urban neighborhoods that were in the process of becoming increasingly Black with white flight to the suburbs and red-lining practices. Parallel to the racial and ethni c shifts in American cities\, South Korea was also facing social change in which the women toiling in wig factories started to protest their working conditions. Their political actions would eventually mark the beginning o f the South Korean democracy movement. This presentation connects the migr ation stories of Koreans to those of African Americans\, focusing on their shared spatial practices in wig stores during Cold War in the US.\n\nSugg ested Readings: Park\, Kyeyoung.

Her research focuses on material agencies and scientific site s in the arctic to examine emerging forms of landscape and landscape pract ice in an age of climate change. Her design research has been funded by nu merous organizations such as the Anchorage Museum\, the U.S. National Scie nce Foundation\, and the World Bank\, and has been exhibited nationally an d internationally including at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History and Venice Architecture Biennale. She received her MLA from Harva rd University and BA from Wellesley College.\n\n"Climate Practice from Arc tic Fieldwork": Extreme environments and amplified climate experiences suc h as in the Arctic offer what environmental historians Pei-Yi Chu and Andr ew Stuhl (2017) call a “curious discord”—a productive agitation of l andscape preconceptions and (design) norms often formed in temperate world s and the necessary unsettling to imagine new environmental futures in an age of climate change. The lecture will focus on Alaska\, a territory that extends from the Pacific Rim to the Arctic Ocean\, as an example that agi tates and expands our material-temporal conceptions of space as well as mo des of landscape inquiry and practice. By sampling recent design research that bridges humanities and science and foregrounds different forms of col laborations\, the talk will highlight ways to probe climates\, and shape c limate knowledge and landscape.\n\nSuggested Reading: “The Perennial Sol idity of Water\,” Journal of Architectural Education\, 74:1\, p. 120-12 2.\n\n \;\n\n"Across the Pacific Rim: Architecture and Landscape in Tr anslation" begins with what the Pacific Ocean is: a fluid place\, a sea wh ere ideas\, people\, and artifacts move.

But it is often unclear exactly what this l ife is that is to be sustained. The ambiguity has been used to erase lives that get in the way of imaginaries and practices of extraction or confine them within the materialization of unjust interpretations. The deployment of the “human” signals an arrival in terms of equilibrating the exige ncies of urban heterogeneities—often in ways that undermine the capacity of the “poor” and working classes to invent futures from the trajecto ries of their own struggles. Struggles that are not necessarily framed in the conventional vernaculars of justice.  Detailing dimensions of Indones ian colonial rule in Jayapura\, West Papua\, the article explores the noti ons of surrounds as a terrain of spectral war\, or at least contestation\, which extends the terms of Black politics to processes that are both an i ntegral “part of” discernible struggles over rights\, autonomy and “ breadth” and “apart” from the terms of antagonism–a more ephemeral terrain of complicities\, dissimulations\, and forces\, which while diffi cult to grasp or consciously mobilize continue to unsettle the predominant arrangements\, subjecting them to spaces of incessant speculation and que stioning.

Living with water has been at the heart of architectural\, urban\, and landscape design for millennia. These physical structures have histori cally been integrated in diverse practices\, communities\, laws\, cultures \, and religions to support locally adapted water systems. Defending again st or harnessing water for multiple purposes became the driving concept as industrialization\, technological innovation\, and seemingly free energy became the driving the mid-19th century have led to a transition that disr upted long-standing patterns of living with water\, creating new balances and imbalances. The presentation will explore the relationship between wat er and design\, past\, present and future. It argues that to design water systems in line with future needs we need to reinforce ecosystem thinking that includes spatial\, social\, and cultural practices. It argues that we need advanced understanding of historic living with water\, a rethinking of present conditions and new approaches towards designing future water sy stems as part of societal and cultural frameworks. We argue that architect s and urban designers need to include water awareness into their local str ategies to achieve sustainable urban design and architecture.\n\n \;\n \nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium with a remote optio n available.\n\nIf you are interested in attending via Zoom\, please regis ter here.\n\nSee https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/return-campus for current re quirements for in-person visitors.

Under her direction\, the center evolved into a coll aborative platform that operates at the intersection of university\, gover nment\, and community stakeholders\, providing opportunities for students\ , staff\, and faculty to apply their expertise to projects with local impa ct. In 2021\, Cathi was elevated into the AIA College of Fellows for her w ork in both education and practice. Cathi was born and raised in Honolulu.   She received her B.A. from Stanford University and M.Arch from U.C. Ber keley.\n\n"Voyaging in Place: Community Design in Hawaii": Hawai’i is ho me to one of the world’s most remote urban populations. As an island arc hipelago populated by 1.4 million residents -- the result of years of colo nization\, immigration\, militarization\, and globalization -- contemporar y Hawai’i offers a unique context for community design pedagogy and prac tice. In 2016\, the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa School of Architectu re established the University of Hawai’i Community Design Center (UHCDC) \, a teaching practice that applies the resources of the university to cri tical built environment issues facing the state. Close collaboration with state legislators led to a public-sector public-interest practice model th at engages students\, staff\, and faculty members on projects that combine government alignment\, community engagement\, applied research\, and desi gn inquiry. This presentation will look more deeply at an effort to addres s the disproportionate representation of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islan ders in Hawai’i’s criminal justice system and to facilitate systemwide reform. The multi-year effort\, supported by teams drawn from architectur e\, landscape architecture\, planning\, social work\, public health\, Hawa iian studies\, and law\, explores place\, culture\, and community-based ju stice models and realizable steps toward more just and restorative alterna tives. The work\, presented as a Hawaiʻi-centric community design toolkit \, offers a hyperlocal but translatable process of voyaging in place.\n\nS uggested Reading: www.hookaulike.org\n\n \;\n\n"Across the Pacific Rim : Architecture and Landscape in Translation" begins with what the Pacific Ocean is: a fluid place\, a sea where ideas\, people\, and artifacts move. It questions the framing of this great body of water as a barrier or a vo id\, concepts that are rooted in colonialism and imperialism. Instead\, it posits the Pacific as an active stage for exchanging and translating idea s\, concepts\, materials\, and technologies about constructed environments . The designers\, scholars\, practitioners\, and activists featured in thi s series are situated along the Pacific Rim. They examine areas\, products \, and product histories along the Pacific Rim. They call on this position ality to offer exceptional\, transnational\, boundary-breaking\, hybrid pr actices and research that contribute to a shared environment and a collect ive future.\n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Audito rium.

Fro m new models of social housing in Berlin and Barcelona to new applications of prefab construction in Beijing and Brooklyn\, panelists will share arc hitectural strategies that connect to broader\, structural issues in housi ng today\, including local economies of construction labor\, densification in the suburbs\, and more.\n\nThis symposium extends the themes explored in the exhibition Mass Support: Flexibility and Resident Agency in Housing \, now on view at the Spitzer School of Architecture\, City College. The e xhibit investigates the legacy and contemporary relevance of the Stichting Architecten Research (SAR)\, a Dutch architectural think tank active betw een 1964 and 1990 that proposed a radical new way of thinking about housin g\, one that fused the efficiency of industrial construction with the flex ibility of user customization. Initially led by John Habraken\, the SAR su ggested new functions for the construction industry\, for households\, and \, crucially\, for architects.\n\nToday\, in the midst of a profound globa l housing emergency\, we need many new ideas to address the quality\, avai lability\, and attainability of shelter. We also need to examine the promi se and pitfalls of overlooked knowledge from the recent past. The work of John Habraken and the SAR offers useful pathways to consider a range of se emingly contradictory contemporary imperatives. How do we balance a commit ment to the self-determination of residents with the need to build more ho using units quickly and economically? How do we leverage a detailed unders tanding of the minutiae of zoning and building codes in the service of bol d visions to reshape the built fabric of our cities and suburbs? How can w e utilize sustained observation of demographic change and household divers ity to inform concrete design proposals for housing that empowers its user s\, that overcomes political and financial inertia\, that anticipates chan ge?\n\nJoin practitioners and researchers from around the world to discuss these questions in light of a range of contemporary design strategies to increase the supply of housing without sacrificing the self-determination of residents.

This year we have the honor to welcome The New York Times staff writer Emily Badger\, who will be presenting her lecture "Pressing Change in the Increasing Inflexible City."\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium with a remote option available.\n \nIf you are interested in attending via Zoom\, please register here.\n\nS ee https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/return-campus for current requirements for in -person visitors.\n\n \;\n\nEmily Badger is a staff writer with The Ne w York Times\, covering cities and urban policy. She is particularly inter ested in housing\, transportation\, and inequality — and how they’re a ll connected. Prior to joining the Times in 2016\, she wrote for The Washi ngton Post and The Atlantic Cities (now CityLab). She grew up in Chicago\, a city that has shaped a lot of her thinking about these topics\, and tod ay she lives in and writes from Washington\, D.C.\n\n"Pressing Change in t he Increasing Inflexible City": As we emerge from the pandemic\, we need t o adapt so much of city life: We need offices to become homes and our home s to become workplaces. We need hotels to become SROs. We need sidewalks t o become restaurants\, and parking lanes to become bus corridors\, and roa ds dedicated to cars to become safe routes for cyclists and pedestrians. B ut in many ways\, cities have become increasingly inflexible to change\, t hrough the cumulative complexity of decades of building and zoning codes\, through a tangled mix of good intentions and NIMBY politics. Adapting the city as we need for the future — from the level of individual buildings to citywide policy — will require understanding and confronting that le gacy of inflexibility.\n\nSuggested Reading: Whatever Happened to the Star ter Home? and So You Want to Turn an Office Building Into a Home?\n\n  \;\nAbout the Lewis Mumford Lecture:\n\nEach spring\, the Spitzer School o f Architecture and its Urban Design Program present the Lewis Mumford Lect ure and seminar.

An alumna of MIT\, where she earned h er doctorate\, she is now serving as a professor at the University of Mass achusetts Dartmouth. Her notable publications include Domesticity and Cons umer Culture in Iran (Routledge\, 2013) and Alternative Iran: Contemporary Art &\; Critical Spatial Practice (Stanford University Press\, 2022). Currently\, with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities and fellowships from Princeton and Heidelberg Universities\, Dr. Karimi is developing a manuscript exploring the nexus between design and environmen tal issues in the Middle East. This presentation offers a glimpse into thi s ongoing research.\n\n"Sand to Salvation: Crafting Humanity’s Future th rough the Wisdom of Desert Architecture": This lecture examines a pivotal yet underappreciated episode in the history of modern environmentalism: th e resurgence of Iran's traditional eco-friendly architecture amidst the oi l boom of the 1960s and '70s. In the arid MENA region\, distinct societal\ , political\, and architectural adaptations evolved in response to desert life. Yet\, these were often dismissed as inadequate by colonial and pseud o-colonial powers\, instigating disruptive interventions. With the advent of the 20th century\, an escalating dependence on fossil fuels and modern environmental management technologies led to the gradual disappearance of these sustainable practices. Remarkably\, during the period of the oil cri sis and the countercultural environmental movement\, a revival of Iran's e co-architecture occurred. This study illuminates Iran's pioneering contrib utions to environmental design during this tumultuous era\, showcasing how a diverse group of architects\, philosophers\, and Sufi scholars proposed innovative planetary visions and design solutions that retain their relev ance. Despite their significance\, these activities have largely been over looked\, and this lecture aims to bring them into focus.\n\nSuggested Read ing: Pamela Karimi\, “Survival by Design: Oil Crisis\, the Middle East\, and the Quest for Lunar Settlements".\n\n"Crosscurrents: Architecture\, L andscape\, and Spatial Practices in Southwest Asia and North Africa" probe s the radical reimagining of the region compelled by the expression Southw est Asia and North Africa (SWANA). In recent years\, the acronym SWANA has gained currency among architects\, landscape architects\, urbanists\, and historians who conceptualize the territories of the Middle East and North Africa through geography and place rather than colonial frameworks. The t erm “Middle East” was a British invention\, a tool used to advance col onialism in a region where so many national borders resulted from imperial ist interventions. In the Fall 2023 Sciame Lecture Series\, groundbreaking designers\, scholars\, practitioners\, and activists chart multiple—and sometimes competing—currents in the architecture of the region and its diasporas\, while displacing essentializing colonial narratives. To do so\ , speakers from across the area shed light on global\, transnational\, and diasporic human stories about design\, space\, landscape\, and architectu re in SWANA\, and advance new ideas about territory\, buildings\, places\, histories\, and belonging.\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\ , and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame A uditorium.\n\nSee https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/return-campus for current requ irements for in-person visitors.\n\nThis lecture series is made possible b y the Spitzer Architecture Fund and the generous support of Frank Sciame ’74\, CEO of Sciame Construction.

Ali DESCRIPTION:This lecture will be in person and is part of the Fall 2023 Sci ame Lecture Series\, titled "Crosscurrents: Architecture\, Landscape\, and Spatial Practices in Southwest Asia and North Africa."\n\nTazeen M. Ali i s a scholar of Islam and gender in the United States and is currently assi stant professor of religion and politics at Washington University in St. L ouis. Her research and teaching focus on Islam in America\, women and reli gion\, and Muslims in entertainment media and popular culture. She is the author of The Women's Mosque of America: Authority &\; Community in US Islam\, published with NYU Press in November 2022. Her writing has also be en published in Religion &\; Politics\, The Conversation\, and Middle E ast Eye. Ali earned her PhD in Religious Studies from Boston University in 2019.\n\n"Gender\, Space\, and National Belonging: The Women's Mosque of America": In this talk\, Tazeen M. Ali discusses her recent book The Wome n's Mosque of America: Authority &\; Community in US Islam (NYU Press\ , 2022). Her talk will explore how American Muslim women create and author ize new conceptions of authority at the Women's Mosque of America\, a mult i-racial woman-only mosque in Los Angeles. Its emergence speaks to a US mo sque culture that has historically marginalized women through inadequate p rayer spaces and limited access to leadership roles. The American Muslim w omen in this community form new configurations of religious authority and contest established patriarchal norms while simultaneously contending with domestic and global Islamophobia that renders their communities vulnerabl e to violence. In the process\, they reimagine the spatial configuration o f a mosque\, in which they redefine what a mosque is and who it should ser ve. Drawing on textual analysis of WMA sermons and ethnographic interviews with community members\, Ali shows how these American Muslim women use sa cred scriptures to argue that mosques should be sites of inclusivity acros s gendered and racial lines. Overall\, the Muslim women in this community establish themselves as meaningful actors within the fabric of American re ligious life and legitimize specific ways of being American Muslims.\n\nSu ggested Reading: Tazeen M. Ali\, Introduction to “The Women's Mosque of America: Authority &\; Community in US Islam" (NYU Press\, 2022).\n\n"C rosscurrents: Architecture\, Landscape\, and Spatial Practices in Southwes t Asia and North Africa" probes the radical reimagining of the region comp elled by the expression Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA). In recent years\, the acronym SWANA has gained currency among architects\, landscap e architects\, urbanists\, and historians who conceptualize the territorie s of the Middle East and North Africa through geography and place rather t han colonial frameworks. The term “Middle East” was a British inventio n\, a tool used to advance colonialism in a region where so many national borders resulted from imperialist interventions. In the Fall 2023 Sciame L ecture Series\, groundbreaking designers\, scholars\, practitioners\, and activists chart multiple—and sometimes competing—currents in the archi tecture of the region and its diasporas\, while displacing essentializing colonial narratives.

A new date will be announced. \n\nThis lecture will be in person and is part of the Fall 20 23 Sciame Lecture Series\, titled "Crosscurrents: Architecture\, Landscape \, and Spatial Practices in Southwest Asia and North Africa."\n\nNoam Shok ed is a scholar of the built environment. His work focuses on the relation ship between politics and architecture in Israel and in the occupied Pales tinian territories. His book\, In the Land of the Patriarchs: Design and C ontestation in West Bank Settlements (University of Texas Press\, 2023)\, explores five decades of settlement construction in the occupied West Bank . He is currently an assistant professor of architecture at Tel Aviv Unive rsity.\n\n"Forms of Power and Mobility in a Bedouin Town": The conversatio n about the (formerly nomadic) Bedouin population in Israel has centered a round land: the land they lost\, the land they were moved to. This present ation shifts the focus to the buildings they build and inhabit. It explore s how the Bedouin have been transforming the urban plans devised to settle them\, by building statement-houses that draw their design inspiration an d labor\, as well as their building material\, from Arab countries. The de sign\, construction\, and inhabitation of these houses—which first appea red in Bedouin towns and later followed the Bedouin to Jewish-dominated su burbs—subtly circumvent the cultural and political borders of Israel. Ar guably\, they may presage the creation of a bi-national space. By examinin g the Bedouin villas\, this talk describes how domestic architecture—its design and use—can function as an active participant in a process of in digenous claim for inclusion that goes beyond the stark narratives of resi stance and subjugation.\n\nSuggested Reading: Noam Shoked\, “Housing Oth ers: Design and Identity in a Bedouin Village”\, International Journal o f Islamic Architecture 8\, No. 2 (July 2019): 307–35.\n\n"Crosscurrents: Architecture\, Landscape\, and Spatial Practices in Southwest Asia and No rth Africa" probes the radical reimagining of the region compelled by the expression Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA).

She co-founded Primaverarch—a grassroots movement dedicated to creating spotlights for women in architec ture. Primaverarch's online presence has opened a space for women to celeb rate their talent and hard work as well as discuss the industry-wide issue s that need to be addressed.\n\nBenjamin Akhavan '20 (pictured far right) is a multidisciplinary designer and educator based in New York\, where he leads FOAWM\, a nondescript Firm / Office / Atelier / Workshop / Milieu wi th polyvalent interests at the intersection of design and urban life. He i s the Assistant Director of Academic Affairs and Adjunct Assistant Profess or at Columbia GSAPP and has also taught at The City College of New York\, New York Institute of Technology\, and New Jersey Institute of Technology . His design\, research\, and scholarship have been featured in the Cambri dge University Press Materials Research Society Proceedings\, Citygroup Ga llery\, New York Review of Architecture\, Mashrabiya\, and MIT Thresholds. \n\n"Future Practice: Diaspora Narratives":  links four emerging Middle E astern American practices as they relate to the built environment to proje ct new narratives for architecture. Praxis\, research\, teaching\, academi a\, and publication are disparate mediums of intervention but are presente d as common practices for understanding and advocating for a more inclusiv e built environment. Hajar Alrifai '21\, Hamees Gabr '22\, Nadeen Hassan ' 20\, and Benjamin Akhavan '20 are Middle Eastern American individuals oper ating within the collective agenda of redefining the discipline to incorpo rate multiple identities as they shape the built environment.\n\nSuggested Reading: Benjamin Akhavan\, Hajar Alrifai\, Ahmed Helal\, and Tatiana Voi tovich\, eds.

In recent years\, the acronym SWANA has gained currency among architects \, landscape architects\, urbanists\, and historians who conceptualize the territories of the Middle East and North Africa through geography and pla ce rather than colonial frameworks. The term “Middle East” was a Briti sh invention\, a tool used to advance colonialism in a region where so man y national borders resulted from imperialist interventions. In the Fall 20 23 Sciame Lecture Series\, groundbreaking designers\, scholars\, practitio ners\, and activists chart multiple—and sometimes competing—currents i n the architecture of the region and its diasporas\, while displacing esse ntializing colonial narratives.

Her book\, Mediterranean Crossroads: Marseill e and Modern Architecture (University of Minnesota Press\, 2011)\, was re cognized by the 2013 Spiro Kostof Book Award from the Society of Architect ural Historians. She has published widely on colonial infrastructures\, de colonial histories\, ephemeral urbanisms\, cities in conflict\, and queer landscapes. Recent essays have appeared in Architectural Histories\, Per spective\, City and Society\, Space and Culture\, and The Journal of Arc hitecture. She is currently completing a book manuscript\, tentatively ent itled\, Bidonville: The City in the Shadow of the Shantytown.\n\n"Living Waste: The City in the Shadow of the Shantytown": Like many places\, Moroc co has been indelibly reshaped by infrastructures of extraction\, includin g phosphates mining\, which began in the 1920s under the French protectora te and continues to shape its built landscapes and political futures. Whil e the rapid transformation of Casablanca in the 1920s and 1930s has long b een traced through its celebrated modern buildings\, the city was profound ly shaped by mineral mining\, as evidenced not only in its proliferating f actories\, but also its urban landscapes described as bidonvilles (or sh antytowns) by settler-outsiders and as karians (or quarries) by their re sidents. Building on Max Liboiron’s call to understand the integral rela tionship between colonialism and pollution\, as well as Michelle Murphy’ s efforts to imagine decolonial chemical relations\, this lecture traces t he bidonville/karian’s material histories through the intersecting traj ectories of metal containers (bidon)\, stone quarries (karian)\, and dwarf palm (dûm). The karian/bidonville was linked at once to internal human and more-than-human migrations\, as well as far-flung global networks\, i ncluding automobile factories in Germany. The afterlives of these early la ndscapes of extraction have renewed significance in our current era\, not least because Morocco controls over 70 percent of the planetary reserves o f phosphates\, a mineral critical to global food production.\n\nSuggested Reading: Crane\, S.\, 2019.

She is a third-generation displaced Fadicha Nubian\, a legacy that infu ses her research interests in race\, gender\, space\, and territory. Amo ng her publications are Nubia still exists: The Utility of the Nostalgic Space\; The Non-work of the Unimportant: The Shadow Economy of Nubian W omen in Displacement Villages\; and Liminal Publics\, Marginal Resista nce.\n\n"Nubian (Dis)places": In this talk\, Menna will be discussing the concept of displacement as a form of spatial literacy\, and she will also be discussing various narratives related to Nubian history. This suggests that she may explore how displacement has shaped the understanding and rep resentation of Nubian history. In the context of Nubian contemporary histo ry\, displacement often refers to the construction of the Aswan High Dam a nd the resulting flooding of Nubian villages along the Nile River. This ev ent led to the resettlement of many Nubian communities\, and it had a prof ound impact on their way of life\, cultural practices\, and historical nar ratives. Menna will explore how this is not the entire story of Nubian dis placement\, and others like it\, have influenced the way Nubian history is understood and told. During her talk\, Menna may also touch upon how diff erent narratives have emerged regarding Nubian history\, possibly includin g both traditional oral histories and more recent academic interpretations . These narratives can vary widely\, reflecting the perspectives of differ ent groups and individuals\, and Menna may discuss how they contribute to our understanding of Nubian heritage and identity.\n\nSuggested Reading: A gha\, M.

Curre ntly holding the prestigious position of James Weldon Johnson Professor at New York University\, she is a respected authority in her field. Her rese arch endeavors center around digital accessibility\, inclusive design\, an d immersive experiences\, exploring ways to create inclusive digital envir onments. In 2019\, Reginé published her debut book\, "Inclusive Design fo r a Digital World: Designing with Accessibility in Mind\," which was warml y received by industry professionals and readers alike\, published under A press Publishing. Notably\, she is also collaborating with Doug North Cook on an upcoming book titled "Human Spatial Computing\," slated for publica tion by Oxford University Press in 2024.\n\n"Human Spatial Computing": Our relationship with technology has advanced significantly\, from using larg e mainframe computers to wearing small\, portable devices that enhance our daily lives. Today\, the focus is on Human Spatial Computing\, which invo lves interacting with technology using our entire body instead of just key boards and mice. This shift has led to the development of immersive techno logies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)\, which requir e designing experiences that cater to human needs rather than just machine s. Human Spatial Computing is a field that has the potential to transform many areas\, from healthcare to remote work. However\, it’s crucial to p rioritize inclusivity and accessibility while developing these technologie s. This talk will emphasize the significance of creating groundbreaking so lutions that cater to the needs of this new era by highlighting examples o f current tools and ongoing research in spatial computing.\n\nSuggested Re ading: Current and potential uses of AR/VR for Equity and Inclusion.\n\n"A ccess and Beyond: Architecture and Disability" answers the call for disabi lity justice in our time. Architects\, designers\, and scholars\, inspired by critical disability studies\, make up the distinguished roster of spea kers who situate disability\, ability\, and access in pointed\, specific c ritiques of design\, culture\, and power. This series invites practitioner s to probe assumptions embedded in universal design\, to center belonging in design practice\, to critique technology in relation to inclusion\, and to apprehend the rich contribution of difference in the sensorial experie nces of places.\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held i n the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium. L ive captioning and ASL interpretation will be available upon request. For access requests or questions\, please contact ssadean@ccny.cuny.edu. \n\n See https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/return-campus for current requirements for i n-person visitors.\n\nThis lecture series is made possible by the Spitzer Architecture Fund and the generous support of Frank Sciame ’74\, CEO of Sciame Construction.

In 2020 he wa s awarded the Rome Prize in Architecture from the American Academy in Rome .\n\n"Who Are Libraries For? Some Thoughts on Disability\, Design\, and Pu blic Architecture": Contemporary conversations about libraries as distinct forms of public space have largely focused on questions of access\; the r ecent lawsuit against the Hunters Point Public Library in Queens (Steven H oll &\; Associates\, 2019) demonstrates how public needs remain poorly addressed even more than three decades years after the passage of the ADA (1990). The failure to include the experiences of a diverse community of l ibrary patrons is not unique to Hunters Point. But it does highlight an im portant distinction between those who pursue compliant design\, which hews to fixed standards mandated by law\, and those who pursue what we might c all crip design\, which centers the experiences of people with disabilitie s in the design process beyond meeting fixed standards. In this talk\, I j oin a chorus of advocates for crip design who seek to move beyond the bina ry of compliance/noncompliance. Using historical case studies as well as c ontemporary projects\, I look at the work of architects and designers who have built public libraries that are inspired by disability – and\, in p articular\, multisensory and multimodal experiences of space – rather th an treating disability as an impediment to creativity. I argue that librar ies can be opportunities to rethink the civic role of our vital public ins titutions through reimagining who\, and not what\, they are for.\n\nSugges ted Reading: “Banking on Postmodernism: Saving Stanley Tigerman’s Illi nois Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (1978)\,” Future Anterior 16:1 (Summer 2019)\, 87-108.\n\n"Access and Beyond: Archi tecture and Disability" answers the call for disability justice in our tim e.

As an architect focusing on autism\, sh e is the author of the ASPECTSS Design Index\, the world’s first researc h-based design framework for autism. ASPECTSS was awarded the UIA Triennia l Research Award in 2014 and Mostafa is the only laureate to be presented this award twice\, awarded again in 2023. Through her consulting\, ASPECTS S has been used in architectures for autism and neurodiversity across 5 co ntinents. Her work was also exhibited at the 2021 and 2023 Venice Architec ture Biennales. She collaborates globally with practices such as Mimar\; A b Rogers\; Altus\; VMA\; SFS\; and JSA/MIXdesign where she is Autism Desig n Lead. Information about her work can be found at her website www.autism. archi.\n\n"Spectrum Space: Sensory Decolonization\, Sensory Curation and t he Autistic Imaginary": Social justice\, accessibility\, and spatial parit y have always found intersections\, albeit challenging ones- in our social discourse. Notions such as Human-Centered Design have recently emerged as the practical mechanism through which designers may negotiate the nuance of such intersection. Inherited social constructs however continue to colo r our view\, defaulting to a normative definition of the “Human” at th e center of “Human-Centered Design”- one that assumes a 6 ft tall\, am bulatory\, white\, English-speaking\, seeing\, hearing\, verbal\, neurotyp ical\, ci-gendered\, straight male occupying this crucial center point. Th e reality of our human fabric contrasts dramatically from this definition. \n\nThis talk aims to expand this definition- specifically through the len s of autism and neurodiversity and discuss the challenges of Sensory Colon isation of our cities and spaces through this lens. It presents the constr uct of Spectrum Space\, a proposition of senso-socio-spatial gradients bor n from work with the Autism ASPECTSS Design Index for over two decades. Pu blished in 2014\, and expanded in 2021\, ASPECTSS is the world’s first r esearch-based design framework for autism.\n\nThe talk traces the trajecto ry of ASPECTSS from its motivation in 2002\, to its inception in 2014 and its continued application in curatorial\, scholarly and design practices. Told through a series of encounters with the autistic experience the talk will present autism as expert\, author and curator of design experiences a s translated into architectures of learning\, living\, community and care. \n\nSuggested Reading: Mostafa\, M.\, (2021) "Building for a Differently A bled World" pp. 64-71\, in Architecture for All\, IQD\, December 2021\, Mi lan\, Italy. \n\n"Access and Beyond: Architecture and Disability" answers the call for disability justice in our time.

He is currently Professor of Architecture and Urban Hist ory at Parsons School of Design/The New School.\n\n"The Architecture and U rbanism of Disability": The pursuit of architectural “access" and urban accessibility have defined\, if not over-defined\, the politics of disable d people's engagements with the built environment. In this lecture\, drawn from Gissen's recent book “The Architecture of Disability\,” the auth or explains the conceptual underpinnings of accessible design and its limi tations. As a complement to the pursuit of access\, Gissen proposes a more comprehensive way that disabled people can reimagine their cities and the buildings within them. This latter agenda includes disability critiques o f property and development\, infrastructural management\, public space\, a nd commemoration\, as well as the possibility of an “anti-eugenic” urb anism.\n\nSuggested Reading: David Gissen\, "The Urbanization of Disabilit y\," from The Architecture of Disability (Minnesota\, 2023).\n\n \;\nA bout the Lewis Mumford Lecture:\n\nEach spring\, the Spitzer School of Arc hitecture and its Urban Design Program present the Lewis Mumford Lecture a nd seminar.

Currently\, she is conducting research for h er thesis project titled Re: Reasonable Modification Request\; a body of w ork aimed to investigate accessibility and inclusion within the NYC MTA sy stem and the relationships between accommodation and social attitudes towa rds disability. She graduated from the Spitzer School of Architecture with her B. Arch in 2022. While at Spitzer she was one of the inaugural member s of the JEDI committee serving as the undergraduate student representativ e. Here she worked closely with a cohort of other students\, faculty\, and staff to address issues of diversity and inclusion at the Spitzer School of Architecture.\n\nLuísa Janssen Harger Brown  '20 (pictured center) is an NYC-based Accessibility Consultant at Code Consultants\, Inc (CCI)\, s pecializing in accessibility compliance and solutions for architectural pr ojects across the United States. She is certified as an Accessibility Insp ector/Plans Examiner by the International Code Council\, a member of the A ccessibility Technical Committee for the development of the next NYC Build ing Code\, and a licensed Architect and Urban Planner in her home country\ , Brazil. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urban Pla nning from UFSC\, Brazil (2018)\, pursued a study-abroad year in Architect ural Technology at The University of Westminster in London (2014-2015)\, a nd completed her Master's in Architecture at the Spitzer School in 2020.\n \nToar Sadia  '17 (pictured right) is a senior inclusive design consultan t in Buro Happold and a lecturer on “Designing Inclusive Places” in th e Bartlett School of Environment\, Energy and Resources in University Coll ege London (UCL). She is a registered architect in the USA\, a certified a rchitect in Israel\, and a WELL AP\, with an MSc in Health\, Wellbeing and Sustainable Buildings from UCL. Her master’s dissertation research expl ored the design preferences of neurodivergent populations for quiet spaces and contributed to the Quiet and Restorative Spaces chapter of the Britis h Standards Institution publication PAS 6463: Design for the Mind – Neur odiversity and the Built Environment - Guide.\n\n"Facets of Inclusive Desi gn":\n\nCH: Fast growing and densely populated metropolitan cities like Ne w York heavily rely on their intricate transportation network in order to mobilize the city’s 8.4 million residents. Yet what of the 930\,000 resi dents living with disabilities who face barriers participating in the subw ay system? By re-evaluating our spatial\, social and sensory relationships within these spaces of transition\, our transportation hubs can become so experientially vibrant. A new intuition about our spaces can be achieved through learning from the bodies navigating the city via unanticipated mea ns. A reimagining of access to New York’s metro system means to focus th e conversation on the intimate stories of people who feel barred from subw ay stations as part of their daily lives and to explore the significance o f mobile autonomy. Through interviews and visualization techniques the con sequences of exclusion are surfaced. Unexpected\, bizarre adjacencies are revealed when solutions for one group of people can work for others.\n\nLJ HB: Codes and standards encompass both scoping and technical requirements for accessible elements. Compliance with these regulations is not merely a legal obligation but a fundamental instrument for achieving universal and inclusive design. This obligation is mandated by federal law\, state regu lations\, and city building codes. However\, designers play a pivotal role in elevating accessibility beyond a mandatory checklist\, ensuring that a ccessibility is a thoughtful and integral aspect of the design process. Fo r example:\n\n Integrated Design Criterion: Accessibility should be a cor e design criterion\, seamlessly integrated from the project's inception.\n Comprehensive Implementation: Detailed consideration of accessibility th roughout all design stages is paramount. This ensures that conceptual idea ls transition into practical implementations\, accounting for spatial and structural constraints.\n Tailored Solutions: Designers should tailor acc essibility solutions to the specific needs of the target users and program requirements\, going beyond code compliance when necessary.\n\nTS: Quiet spaces warrant rigorous design consideration as they offer a sensitive res torative environment to the experience of sensory overload. Neurodivergent populations provide valuable perspectives on how to design for sensory ne eds\, considering their susceptibility to sensory overload.\n\nResearch wa s conducted via an online survey administered globally to neurodivergent p opulations to elicit their design preferences for quiet spaces\, and semi- structured interviews to enrich the study with professional perspectives. 312 survey responses and six interviews were analyzed to draw inferences.\ n\nThere was consensus on sound and lighting as the most important design considerations for quiet spaces\, on education as the most critical place to implement them\, and on nature as a favorable guiding principle in thei r design. However\, there was a diversity of perspectives\, often contradi ctory\, regarding most design preferences. Many of these preferences are c orrelated with the frequency at which the person experiences sensory overl oad and thus people’s sensory profile may be an underlying mechanism whi ch guides design preferences.\n\nIn light of these findings\, it is recomm ended to design quiet spaces as neutral environments for the most sensitiv e users\, with optional stimulating design features for the least sensitiv e\, while ensuring that the experience of one does not compromise the expe rience of the other. Moreover\, variety\, flexibility\, and control emerge d as critical themes for facilitating inclusive design and empowering user s by providing them with autonomy over their environment.\n\nSuggested Rea dings: “The Arsenal of Exclusion &\; Inclusion”\, Interboro.

Hamraie’s research contributes critical perspectives on acc essibility\, disability\, and technology. Hamraie is author of Building Ac cess: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability (University of Minne sota Press\, 2017) and host of the Contra* podcast on disability and desig n. They are a member of the U.S. Access Board and were a 2022 United State s Artists Fellow.\n\n"Critical Access Studies": What is “access?” For some\, it is a synonym for legal compliance with the Americans With Disabi lities Act (ADA). For others\, it is a form of belonging\, the ability of an individual to participate in a space or find employment. And for others \, access is a form of critique\, the basis of radical projects of collect ive access-making. There are often tensions between the meanings of access in disability rights (legal) frameworks and disability justice (social mo vement) discourses. This talk traces the genealogy of access from legal co mpliance and liberal belonging to the frictions of architectural and cultu ral critique\, noting the ways that emerging critical frameworks within di sability studies are challenging earlier established wisdom about accessib ility. Drawing on critical design\, crip-of-color critique\, and anti-impe rialist approaches to the question of access\, the talk reveals emergent\, sticky\, and often-frictioned material and philosophical approaches to ac cess that emerge from disability culture and community.\n\nSuggested Readi ng: “Introduction: Critical Access Studies\,” Building Access: Univers al Design and the Politics of Disability.\n\n"Access and Beyond: Architect ure and Disability" answers the call for disability justice in our time.

She holds a PhD in Public and Urban P olicy\, MA in Geography\, MS in International Affairs and two Bachelor Deg rees in Architecture and Philosophy. Her experience includes work at The N ew School\, Slum Dwellers International\, the Colombian government\, and i nternational organizations (IFC\, UNDP\, CAF\, World Bank). She was adjunc t professor at The New School and City College-CUNY between 2014 and 2023. Her publications include: Homes at Work (2023)\, Housing Policy in Latin America (2020)\, Urban Informality and the Making of African Cities (2022) \, and Kazakhstan’s Human Development Report (2019).\n\n"Homes at Work": Housing is a means to achieve most other human rights. It is a condition to achieve wellbeing and welfare\, directly contributing to the wealth of nations. But housing is more than that. This talk will explain how\, becau se of the way housing is used (especially in informal settlements that mak e the bulk of the urban fabric in the global South)\, housing is also a pu blic good. Despite not being accounted as such\, the intense use of space within houses makes them a core component of the income\, social protectio ns\, and urban services of neighborhoods\, cities\, and countries. This ta lk will walk the reader through the research in the book “Homes at Work ” explaining how it came into being\, describing the visual interviewing methodology it developed\, and finally discussing what its findings mean for research\, design\, practice\, and policy.\n\nSuggested Reading: Carri zosa\, María.

It situates our contemporary dilemma in the powerful arguments made by Friedrich Engels in the 1870s and 1880s. In his revolutionary text\, The Housing Question\, E ngels argued that the dearth of adequate shelter was an inevitable consequ ence of the Industrial Revolution. As a result of working-class exploitati on endemic to capitalist modernity\, the housing crisis was resolvable onl y by a revolutionary reconstruction of workers’ power that would result in the collective ownership of land and the means of production. “Design Matters” inverts Engels’s argument\, putting design\, architecture\, and planning first. It expands his geographic\, cultural\, and temporal fr ame to include cities outside of Western Europe\, and it probes places dam aged by the devastating consequences of war\, the climate emergency\, and other catastrophes. A bevy of on-the-ground examples\, conceived at multip le scales and aimed at reconstruction\, are changing policy\, politics\, p ractice\, and design. In the face of extraordinary challenges\, architects \, planners\, and providers are collaborating to produce humane affordable solutions to the housing crisis\, and suggesting that architecture is nee ded to provoke political change.\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the pu blic\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sci ame Auditorium.

Larry is the author or editor of thirteen books and more than sixty articles examining urban design\, affordable housing and city planni ng\, including four prize-winning volumes on American public housing histo ry\, design\, policy\, and politics. His latest book is The Equitably Resi lient City (MIT Press\, 2024)\, co-authored with Zachary Lamb. At MIT\, La rry has won the Institute’s highest awards for teaching and for graduate student advising.\n\n"The Persistent Design-Politics of Race in American Public Housing": Subsidized housing for low-income residents is more than a matter of laws and policies\; it entails controlling and redistributing space. Decisions about public housing reveal the confluence of ideological assumptions about social structure and environmental determinist beliefs about spatial order in ways that can convey either welcome or exclusion. T his talk explores that socio-spatial convergence through the lens of ‘de sign-politics\,’ applying this to the racialized development and redevel opment of public housing in the United States. City leaders across the US constructed a great deal of the nation’s public housing in the 1930s\, 1 940s and 1950s on a racially-segregated basis\, rewarding and reinforcing an ideological ideal of the small white nuclear family – both explicitly through tenant selection criteria and implicitly through the sizing and d esign of apartments. Such ideological preferences – while largely unstat ed – continue to infuse 21st Century efforts by urban public housing aut horities when they redevelop such projects. Once again\, their design deci sions combine space and race\, linking the presumed panacea of ‘mixed-in come’ redevelopment projects to an ongoing racial politics aimed at rest oring mainstream ideological norms while resisting expressions of non-whit e identities. More optimistically\, a few redevelopment efforts have chall enged this with more progressive forms of poverty governance\, emphasizing not-for-profit organizations and valuing resident voices.\n\n"Design Matt ers: The Housing Question Revisited" examines innovative solutions to the global housing crisis.

Lawrence Kocher and Albert Frey\, was built in N ew York City as an exhibition of modern materials at the Architectural Lea gue and Allied Arts and Industries biannual exhibition in 1931. This prese ntation is about its 93-year history and our 36 years of involvement with it\, including rescuing it from demolition in 1987 and rebuilding it with New York Institute of Technology architecture students until its final reb uilding at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2024.

She is as sistant professor of architecture at The Cooper Union and co-founder of in terim studio with Eduardo Rega. She studies bordering and ruination as the architectural project of settler colonialism\, and practices of land- and life-protection in anti-colonial and anti-carceral movements in Palestine \, the occupied Syrian Golan Heights\, and the Canary Islands. Most recent ly\, she co-produced the collaborative multimedia exhibition Antum Al-Ṣa ūt\; Wa Naḥnu Ṣadāh (You Are The Voice\; We Are It’s Echo) at the Graham Foundation for the 2023 Chicago Architecture Biennial. Nora served on the international jury of the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2023 and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Architecture Education an d Faktur: Documents and Architecture.\n\n"Unbordering: Notes on Transmissi on":\n\nI know that if you could\nyou’d strike a meteor from your eyes\n to burn this world of oppression\nand build a world anew\n\n- Mahmoud Salm an (Gaza\, January 2024)\n\nThis talk will move through representations (a rchives\, documentations\, or conversations) of instances and practices\, both spectacular and unnoticed\, of land- and life-protection that erode t he carceral time and space regime of Israeli settler colonialism in Palest ine and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights (the Jawlan)\, and that offer gl impses into times and worlds where their oppressive architectures and infr astructures are dismantled.\n\nHere\, transmission is understood as a lens through which to read movements out of\, and breaks with colonial time: a s discharge\, as disappearance\, as reverberation\, and as return. Facing colonial attempts of erasing and annihilating entire worlds\, abolitionist movements for freedom bring us closer to decolonized futures both through the material erosion of the structures of genocidal regimes\, and the fla sh imaginaries or recurring calls of the possible-necessary end of an oppr essive world.\n\nPalestine and the Jawlan are home to transgenerational tr aditions of resistance and refusal also in defending land and life through agricultural cooperatives\, educational programs\, situated art practices \, and organized marches and festivals. In addition to collected materials \, the presentation will include compiled excerpts from curatorial\, edito rial and pedagogical projects and studies in architecture. We will pose qu estions on the possibilities\, pretenses and complicity\, of architectural institutions\, circuits\, publications\, exhibitions and pedagogies in th e face of the basic demand for a stance against genocide.\n\n"Design Matte rs: The Housing Question Revisited" examines innovative solutions to the g lobal housing crisis.

She studied architecture at Faculté des Sciences (Haiti\, 1980) a nd holds a Master of City and Regional Planning from Rutgers University (U SA\, 1984)\, as a Fulbright scholar. She has taught for 25 years urban pla nning in Haiti. As a national expert in urbanism\, she has produced master plans for medium-sized towns commissioned by offices of the Haitian State including mayoral offices. She has developed design of urban landscapes t hrough community planning. Currently\, she is leading research on cultural resilience to promote lakou system in public policies for sustainable urb an planning.\n\n"Cultural + Urban Landscapes: Designing for Local Communit ies in Haiti": Haiti is characterized by environmental\, economic and soci al vulnerability. The Global Climate Risk Index 2021 ranks Haiti among the three most vulnerable countries in the world between 2000 and 2019\, afte r Puerto Rico and Myanmar. In the recurring history of natural disasters\, the January 12\, 2010\, earthquake in Port-au-Prince remains a landmark e vent in Haitians’ collective memory. This event prompted the Haitian gov ernment to implement post-disaster plans\, as well as new urban planning a nd construction standards. This proposal highlights good participatory pra ctices of community planning and design of inclusive local development in the island of Ile à Vache and the Chardonnières city in Haiti's southern peninsula. Anticipatory urban planning tools in response to the risks\, s uch as legal urbanism plans (PAEEV) have made it possible to promote local development\, control urban growth\, and improve the living environment o f Haitian communities. A paradigm shift is needed to address the issue of urban planning. New urbanism must integrate cultural components\, which ar e tools to control vulnerability. We must provide planning perspectives fo r sustainable\, resilient spaces and design better community living spaces . Ile-à - Vache and Chardonnières\, local development plan is conceived with communities and life experiences linked to cultural and ancestral her itage.\n\n"Design Matters: The Housing Question Revisited" examines innova tive solutions to the global housing crisis.

Buildin g on the leadership of the late Michael Sorkin\, the program is specifica lly designed to foster new conversations in response to our urbanized plan etary crises and provide transformative alternatives that radically reimag ine our cities as equitable\, diverse\, resourceful\, and ecologically nim ble.\n\nCurriculum\n\nMUPUD fuses research\, design\, advocacy\, and leade rship in unique and trans-disciplinary ways. Students and professors work together to define questions\, propose solutions\, and disseminate their f indings by bringing together technology\, practice\, and activism in diffe rent strengths and scales across the program’s year-long “design think tanks.” We have deep links and interests in both the Global North and G lobal South\, as well as across the emerging economies of the East. The sp ring studio typically includes a study trip to a far-flung urban site to b oth learn from and tackle challenges in a different context.\n\n Total pr ogram credits: 45\n Per-semester courseload: 15 credits (4 classes)\n\nTh e program is designed to be completed in three full-time\, sequential seme sters (fall\, spring\, fall). For students who desire a longer course of s tudy\, it is possible to distribute the credits over up to two academic ye ars/four semesters.\n\nAdmissions\n\nOur next priority deadline is in Janu ary 2025 to begin studies in Fall 2025. Please see the instructions on our Graduate Application Instructions page. Applicants to the Urban Design p rogram should hold a professional degree in either architecture or landsca pe architecture. Applicants from other backgrounds will be considered only in exceptional circumstances and on demonstration of a high level of desi gn ability.\n\nSTEM Designation\n\nThis MUP in Urban Design program is lis ted within the U.S. government’s official STEM fields list\, meaning gra duates with F-1 visas may be eligible for U.S. work authorization for up t o three years.

In addition to being Principal o f JSA/MIXdesign\, Sanders is a Professor at Yale School of Architecture an d Yale School of Public Health\, where he teaches classes that examine the intersection of architecture and mental and physical health. His projects have been featured in international exhibitions and the permanent collect ions of MoMA\, SFMoMA\, Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum\, Art Inst itute of Chicago\, and the Carnegie Museum of Art.\n\n"Building Belonging: Equity\, Health\, and Wellbeing in Public Space": In his talk\, Joel Sand ers will discuss the design principles that inform the work of JSA/MIXdesi gn\, an inclusive design studio dedicated to considering the needs of a br oad segment of the population that the discipline of architecture has trad itionally overlooked. By taking an intersectional approach that prioritize s stakeholder engagement\, JSA/MIXdesign develops design solutions that go beyond mere code compliance to create spaces that allow the maximum numbe r of people with different embodied identities to share the same public sp ace. After exploring these principles from a theoretical perspective\, Joe l will discuss how his office has put them into practice in the context of three different building typologies: restrooms\, university campuses\, an d art museums. This discussion of case-study projects will explore how eac h typology presents unique challenges as well as opportunities for making spaces that meet the needs of all individuals regardless of their age\, ge nder\, race\, or ability.\n\nSuggested Reading: Sanders\, Joel.

Their first monograph is A Queer New York: Geographies of Lesbians\, Dyke s\, and Queers (NYU Press\, 2020). He is working on their next book\, Wher e Shall We Meet to Plan the Revolution?: Dyke Bars* for the End Times\, an d analyzing the national survey of LBQT*S online dating app experiences at https://linktr.ee/lbqtsdating. They can be found at jgieseking.org.\n\n"L esbian Bars/Queer Parties: On How We Can Never Afford Them and Why We Need Them Anyway": When there were only 16 lesbian+ bars left in the United St ates in 2019 and only a handful spread throughout the rest of the world\, the mainstream media began to amplify a lesbian bar extinction narrative. But what the dyke bar* was and is—the unique and important role to lesbi an bars and queer parties to LBQT*S people and in US cultural geographies —remains to be written beyond a narrative that Mairead Sullivan calls "l esbian death." This talk is part of my larger book project\, Dyke Bars*: Q ueer Spaces for the Ends Times\, which asks: Why do we care that so few of these spaces exist now\, why does their physical design captive in past a nd present\, and why are dyke bars* still necessary in an ever-more digita l world? What can an analysis of lesbian bar death\, disappearance\, and r eappearance political economy reveal that these mainstream narratives obsc ure? And\, more so\, what of the lesbian and straight\, trans and cis obse ssions alike over such spaces?\n\nSuggested Reading: Gieseking\, Jack Jen. 2020. A Queer New York: Geographies of Lesbians\, Dykes\, and Queers.\n\n "Still Making Space for Gender" centers women and LGBTQIA+ folk in the bu ilt environment.

Women and LGBTQIA+folk continue to struggle against exploitation a nd fight for equal rights and equity opportunities in the United States\, with this situation troubling unrelenting claims of exceptionalism at home and abroad. Although gender politics are ever present\, achievements are hard-won and sometimes rolled back in the face of misogyny\, homophobia\, transphobia\, and other ingrained expressions of exclusion. Buildings\, ci ties\, and landscapes are not only where battles over gender unfurl\, but these spaces also foster identities and incite change.

Among her notable books are Building Suburbia: Green Fields and Urban Growth\, 1820-2000 (Pa ntheon\, 2003) and Redesigning the American Dream (Norton\, 1984). In The Power of Place: Urban Landscapes as Public History (MIT Press\, 1995) she explores preservation and public art. The Grand Domestic Revolution (MIT P ress\, 1981) documents material feminists’ campaigns to reform housing\, neighborhoods\, and cities.\n\nBefore she retired from Yale as Professor of Architecture\, Urbanism\, and American Studies in 2017\, Hayden taught at MIT and UCLA. She's received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation \, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the Radcliffe Institute\, the American Cou ncil of Learned Societies\, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behav ioral Sciences at Stanford. Her work has been translated into a dozen lang uages\, and she's received many awards including the National Building Mus eum's Scully Award for lifetime achievement in the built environment\, and the Ucelay Award from the Spanish Ministry of Transportation and Planning for pioneering work on gender.\n\nHayden is also a widely published poet. Her third collection\, Exuberance (Red Hen Press\, 2019)\, explores ris k in the voices of female and male stunt pilots from the earliest years of American aviation.\n\n"Domestic Revolutions\, Then and Now": Housing and urban infrastructure were controversial topics in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, part of broad debates about how to define publ ic and private life in urban\, and industrial societies. At the center is the labor of social reproduction\, the everyday nurturing of children and the elderly as well as other adults often called care work. Is it recogniz ed and supported? Or is care work taken for granted until it is missing? T he pandemic foregrounded these questions\, but they were the subject of my 1981 book\, A Grand Domestic Revolution. A century and a half ago\, some women in the suffrage movement campaigned to reshape cities and suburbs to support gender equality. Because these activists challenged the spatial a nd economic constraints of “woman’s sphere\,” I called them “mater ial feminists.” They believed the vote was not enough. They argued the b uilt environment had to change to recognize women’s unpaid nurturing wor k. I will discuss some of their projects and update their influence in bot h the US and Europe in 2025.\n\nSuggested Reading: The Grand Domestic Rev olution: A History of Feminist Designs for American Homes\, Neighborhoods\ , and Cities (MIT Press\, 1981).\n\n"Still Making Space for Gender" cent ers women and LGBTQIA+ folk in the built environment.

Live captioni ng and ASL interpretation will be available upon request. For access reque sts or questions\, please contact ssadean@ccny.cuny.edu. \n\n \;\n\nA imi Hamraie (they/them) is associate professor of Medicine\, Health\, & \; Society at Vanderbilt University\, and director of the Critical Design Lab\, an international collaborative of disabled designers\, artists\, and researchers. Hamraie’s scholarship focuses on design\, architecture\, a nd urbanism\, critical disability studies\, and science and technology stu dies. They are the author of Building Access: Universal Design and the Pol itics of Disability and the forthcoming book\, Enlivened City. Hamraie is also presidential appointee to the U.S. Access Board and a 2022 United Sta tes Artists Fellow in Media.\n\n"Rethinking Livability": Architects and ur banists often invoke “livability” in the pursuit of more healthy\, sus tainable\, and economically robust cities. Related to these goals are the imperatives of urban “activation\,” mobility\, and beautification in s haping the “urban good life.” But underlying these commonsense goals a re normative ideas of life itself\, particularly what types of embodiment\ , movement\, and activity the built environment ought to promote. Drawn fr om Hamraie’s forthcoming book\, Enlivened City\, this lecture traces ide ologies of livability from twentieth-century urban renewal efforts through contemporary New Urbanism\, with a specific focus on what Hamraie terms “urban ableism\,” an infrastructural preference for ablebodiedness tha t pervades the imperatives of health\, sustainability\, and economy. As al ternatives\, Hamraie draws on urban speculative fiction and the work of di sabled artists and designers to imagine alterlivability\, or conceptions o f the urban good life grounded in radical forms of accessibility\, hospita lity\, and interdependence.\n\nSuggested Reading: Hamraie\, Aimi.

As Founding Pri ncipal of Kounkuey Design Initiative (KDI)\, she has built an award-winnin g practice that brings good design to places where it is not often found a nd connects localized design interventions to large-scale policy change. I n 2022\, the firm received the prestigious National Design Award in Landsc ape Architecture from the Cooper Hewitt Museum.\n\nAn urban planner by tra ining\, Chelina’s experience and expertise cover a range of topics from participatory planning to gender-inclusive design.

She has held teaching appointments at Harvard Graduate School of Design and U CLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. Chelina received her Master of Urban Planning from Harvard University.\n\n"Toward a Just Public Realm: Gender E quity in the Built Environment": Due to centuries of biased planning and d esign centering men as the “neutral” users of cities\, urban spaces ar ound the world continue to exclude\, inconvenience\, and endanger women\, girls\, and people of marginalized genders. Women have different\, more co mplex travel patterns than men and are more likely to be caregivers\, ofte n experiencing public spaces with dependents. Matching gender equity polic ies with practice continues to be difficult. KDI is working with communiti es to create gender-inclusive spaces that include active participation\, i ntegration\, universality\, knowledge-building\, power-building\, and inve stment.\n\nIn this lecture\, Chelina Odbert\, Founding Principal of KDI\, will explore 15 years of work across scales and geographies that demonstra te how planning and design can be tools for gender equity.\n\nSuggested Re ading: “Designing for Urban Inclusivity” by Chelina Odbert\, Chapter o f Designing Peace.\n\n"Still Making Space for Gender" centers women and L GBTQIA+ folk in the built environment.

H er research explores how power and ideology function in architecture\, whe ther in the creation of domestic spaces or world empires. She is the autho r of four books\, including Where Are the Women Architects? (2016) and A W omen’s Berlin (2008). In 2011\, she collaborated with Mattel on Architec t Barbie. She taught at Harvard University and the University of Michigan before joining the Department of Architecture at UB. During the 2016-17 ac ademic year\, she was in residence as a member of the Institute for Advanc e Study in Princeton.\n\n"A Collaborative (Re)turn: Feminist Architectural Historians Join Forces and Get Things Done… Again": The last few years have witnessed a notable rise in collaborative initiatives to increase kno wledge about the histories of women architects. These range from team-base d writing projects to exhibitions\, research networks\, and more. Such eff orts harken back to feminist practices of the 1970s\, 80s\, and 90s\, whic h broke new ground in raising awareness of women in architecture. What are the reasons for this renewed focus on collaborative work and how does it differ from earlier developments?\n\nSuggested Reading: Stratigakos\, Desp ina. 2016. Where Are the Women Architects?\n\n"Still Making Space for Gend er" centers women and LGBTQIA+ folk in the built environment. While the d iscourse framing gender morphs and gender identities broaden and become mo re intersectional\, the predicament remains the same. Women and LGBTQIA+fo lk continue to struggle against exploitation and fight for equal rights an d equity opportunities in the United States\, with this situation troublin g unrelenting claims of exceptionalism at home and abroad. Although gender politics are ever present\, achievements are hard-won and sometimes rolle d back in the face of misogyny\, homophobia\, transphobia\, and other ingr ained expressions of exclusion. Buildings\, cities\, and landscapes are no t only where battles over gender unfurl\, but these spaces also foster ide ntities and incite change. In this lecture series\, trailblazing women and LGBTQIA + design practitioners\, scholars\, and activists—working in ar chitecture\, landscape architecture\, and urban design—insist that gende r must remain in sharp focus if we are to shape equitable and just built e nvironments.\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in t he Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium.

The latter—the Harlem African Burial Ground—served the community for over two centurie s. While European remains were relocated in the mid-1800s\, those buried i n the African cemetery were left behind. The site\, now beneath a 1947-bui lt bus depot\, experienced decades of desecration and erasure.\n\nIn 2015\ , archaeologists confirmed human remains at the site\, substantiating its historical significance. Ongoing work aims to map the full extent of the b urial ground. Meanwhile\, efforts led by the Harlem African Burial Ground Initiative (HABGI) and NYCEDC continue to envision a future for the site t hat includes a public memorial\, a cultural education center\, affordable housing\, and community job opportunities.\n\nPlease join us as we uplift this vital history and community vision!

He began hi s collaboration with Herzog &\; de Meuron in Basel in 2007 and was the project director of 56 Leonard Street in Tribeca - his first project with the firm. After relocating to the New York office in 2008\, he became proj ect manager in charge of Parrish Art Museum through its completion in 2012 \; since this time he has maintained oversight of a diverse range of US pr ojects including The Public Hotel\, Leroy Street Residences and The Park A venue Armory in New York City. He oversees the Powerhouse Arts project\, a contemporary arts fabrication center recently completed in Brooklyn\, the Memphis Art Museum\, currently under construction on the banks of the Mis sissippi River\, and the ongoing renovation of the landmarked Breuer Build ing for Sotheby’s Global Headquarters in New York. Through his diverse e xperience\, he has gained specific knowledge working on a wide range of re sidential\, cultural\, and adaptive re-use projects.\n\n"Building on the B uilt: Project Insights and Tour of Powerhouse Arts": Join us for an in-dep th tour and talk on Powerhouse Arts\, Herzog &\; de Meuron’s latest c ompleted project in New York\, and a striking example of the firm’s ongo ing exploration of adaptive re-use—joining iconic works like Tate Modern (London)\, CaixaForum (Madrid)\, and Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg). Powerhous e Arts transformed a derelict\, 115-year-old derelict power plant along Br ooklyn’s Gowanus Canal into a 170\,000-square-foot state-of-the-art manu facturing hub for artists and fabricators. Built atop a remediated Superfu nd site\, the project preserves the site's industrial identity while ancho ring a rapidly changing neighborhood with a bold civic presence. The tour will explore how the design retains and reinterprets the original Brooklyn Rapid Transit Power Station\, stabilizing the historic Turbine Hall while reinterpreting its long-lost Boiler House. The completed ensemble harmoni ously merges old and new—juxtaposing graffiti-covered brick and concrete vaults with new structural and high-performance systems infrastructure. V isitors will gain insight into the building’s vertical organization\, wh ich accommodates diverse stacked fabrication disciplines in metal\, wood\, textile\, ceramic\, and print-making while integrating best practices in industrial hygiene and long-term resilience. This tour reveals how adaptiv e re-use can extend the life of post-industrial structures\, support creat ive economies\, and bridge past and future through a sensitive\, context-d riven design process.\n\nSuggested Reading: Mogilevich\, M.\, Alvarez\, L.

This is the cutting edge of architecture in an age that is newly consci ous of making buildings that don't contribute unnecessarily to the huge ca rbon costs of construction. But there is nothing new about repurposing the basic materials of architecture and design. The builders of Rome's "spoli a" churches were doing this more than 1500 years ago\, and their works rem ain some of the most intriguing buildings of late antiquity and the middle ages.

In this lecture\, John Cetra\, FAIA\, and Nancy J. Ruddy\, foundi ng principals of CetraRuddy and long-time leaders in the field of adaptive reuse\, will present the ambitious office-to-residential conversion of 25 Water Street. Drawing from nearly four decades of experience navigating N ew York’s unique regulatory landscape\, they will explore how the projec t serves not only as a model for future large-scale conversions but as a f ramework for rethinking urban reuse at scale. The lecture will examine how reimagining this underutilized commercial structure challenged prevailing zoning\, structural\, and mechanical systems\, and ultimately introduced new architectural typologies to support community\, livability\, and susta inability. Through this case study\, Cetra and Ruddy will interrogate the intersection of technical innovation\, policy reform\, and the human exper ience of home—asking what it takes to build community through reuse in t he heart of the contemporary city.\n\n"rePURPOSE" centers on the practice of adaptive reuse in the built environment.

Modi's experiences living and wor king in Mumbai (then Bombay)\, New Delhi\, and San Francisco have also inf luenced her nuanced view of urban planning and design\, inspiring her pass ion to find architectural solutions to a range of relevant issues\, from s ustainability to inequality. At PAU\, Modi sets the firm's vision in partn ership with Creative Director Vishaan Chakrabarti\, including shaping the firm's diverse portfolio of projects and overseeing all aspects of the des ign process. Currently\, Modi is leading the design team for the FAA's new sustainable airport traffic control tower prototype\, which will be adapt ed to replace over 100 aging towers in regional and municipal airports acr oss the nation. She is also project lead for Princeton University's newest residential college\, Hobson College\, as well as for the master plan. Sh e spearheaded the design of the iconic Domino Sugar Refinery in Brooklyn\, an adaptive reuse project transforming the historic nineteenth-century fa ctory into offices with a mixed-use ground level\, which opened in the fal l of 2023. Modi holds a Master of Architecture degree from the Graduate Sc hool of Architecture\, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University\, where she was awarded the Charles McKim Prize for Excellence in Design / S aul Kaplan Traveling Fellowship\, the William Kinne Fellows Prize for Stud y and Travel Abroad\, and the Lucille Smyser Lowenfish Memorial Prize. Mod i received her BA in economics from the University of Delhi and a BA with distinction in interior architecture from the California College of Arts\, San Francisco. Her work has been exhibited at the Center for Architecture in New York\, the International Architecture Biennale in Rotterdam\, and the China International Architectural Biennale in Beijing.\n\n"Palimpsest | Repurposing a Sugar Refinery": The Domino Sugar Refinery on the Williams burg waterfront—originally purpose-built for sugar production—is now r epurposed as one of New York’s most ambitious adaptive reuse projects. T he NYC landmark\, a merger of three separate but conjoined industrial stru ctures with small\, misaligned windows\, defied normative approaches to ad aptive reuse. In this lecture\, Ruchika Modi\, AIA\, Senior Principal at P AU\, will unpack the transformation of the 19th-century factory into a con temporary workplace\, event venue\, and community hub. Described as a “b ottle in a ship\,” the design tucks a modern curtainwall building within the existing masonry in order to create level\, wheelchair-friendly offic e floors bathed with ambient light. The gap between the two façades engen ders a phenomenological experience while enabling daylight\, biophilia\, a nd interior views of the patinaed brick\, resulting in a unique post-pande mic workspace of the future. Modi will explore the challenges of working w ithin the complex historic structures and how these constraints inspired p rogressive solutions that marry sustainability\, accessibility\, and archi tectural integrity. More than a case study in design\, the Refinery demons trates how adaptive reuse can reinforce the palimpsest of the city\, conse rve embodied energy and narrative\, and celebrate history by projecting it into the future.\n\nSuggested Reading: The Theory of the Body is Already a Theory of Perception by Maurice Merleau-Ponty.\n\n"rePURPOSE" centers on the practice of adaptive reuse in the built environment.

His work has been e xhibited and published by MIT Press and NY Times.\n\n"Upcycling: Toward a Pedagogy of Material and Cultural Conservation": As architecture confronts a new generation of environmental and urban design challenges\, adaptive reuse emerges not merely as a technical solution but as a critical pedagog ical framework. Amid climate imperatives to reduce embodied carbon\, shrin king inventories of viable urban building sites\, and the rise of “zombi e buildings” left vacant by shifting economic patterns and work-from-hom e trends\, the discipline must rethink its relationship to existing struct ures and urban fabric.\n\nProfessors Bagchee\, Llonch and Rickenbacker wil l present work from their advanced design studios at the Spitzer School of Architecture to outline a pedagogy of looking at the adaptive reuse of bu ildings as an important aspect of an architectural education. Together the y will examine how adaptive reuse can anchor a pedagogy of decarbonization : teaching designers to prioritize transformation over demolition\, levera ge latent spatial and material resources\, and reimagine the city as an un finished\, renewable construct. Focus will be given to the design of new v ertical public and third spaces as augmented social infrastructures\, that emerge from repurposed towers\, underused podiums and lobbies\, and obsol ete commercial cores to address sparse urban public space and redefine com munal life in dense cities. By engaging with constraints as generative for ces\, we invite both students and practitioners to view the aged\, the emp ty\, and the overlooked not as liabilities but as foundations for regenera tive design. Adaptive reuse\, in this framing\, becomes more than preserva tion: it is a forward-looking\, carbon conscious design ethos suited to ou r era’s urgent spatial and ecological realities.\n\nSuggested Reading: L lonch\, F.\, &\; Vidalle\, G.

For nearly two decades\, she has been develo ping projects that incorporate wildlife habitats into constructed environm ents. She is a recipient of the WOJR/Civitella Ranieri Architecture Prize\ , Exhibit Columbus University Research Design Fellowship\, Architectural L eague Emerging Voices Award\, MacDowell Fellowship\, and NYFA/NYSCA Fellow ship\, among other awards. Her work has been featured by a range of platfo rms\, including MoMA\, Brooklyn Botanic Garden\, Matadero Madrid\, and the Venice Architecture Biennale. Based in Buffalo\, she is a registered arch itect in New York State.\n\n"In Consideration of Neighbors": The lecture w ill reflect on the trajectory of Joyce Hwang’s research and practice to discuss how we might learn from our living environment in engaged and empa thic ways. Considering our more-than-human neighbors and communities\, her work explores how architecture can proactively integrate multispecies hab itats into our shared built environment\, focusing on ways in which archit ecture can address not only the significant crisis of biodiversity loss\, but also advocate for multispecies kinship and climate justice.\n\nIn this presentation\, Joyce will discuss her roles as both a design practitioner and educator\, exploring collaborations with nonprofit organizations\, ac ademic institutions\, public agencies\, local businesses\, and interdiscip linary partners – including Brooklyn Botanic Garden\, the Bentway Conser vancy\, Civitella Ranieri\, Matadero Madrid\, City as Living Lab (CaLL)\, Artpark Western New York\, Silo City Buffalo\, Landmark Columbus\, the Aus tralian Capital Territory’s Department of Parks and Conservation\, Austr alian National University (ANU)\, and University at Buffalo\, among others .\n\nSuggested Readings:\n\nChapter 8: “Incorporating Empathy: To Middle Species\, With Love\, Columbus\, Indiana” in Empathic Design: Perspecti ves on Creating Inclusive Spaces\, ed. Elgin Cleckley.\n\nLiving Among Pes ts (written in 2013\, published in Volume Magazine\, republished in Next N ature)\n\nHeadshot photo credit: Douglas Levere.\n\n"The Elephant in the R oom: Locating Animal Lives in Buildings\, Cities\, and Landscapes" takes i ts title from the expression “the elephant in the room\,” which origin ates in the Russian author Ivan Krylov’s 1814 fable “The Inquisitive M an.” In the story\, a visitor to a natural history museum becomes so ent hralled with countless “birds and beasts” that he overlooks the larges t of them all: a colossal elephant. As the expression gained currency\, an y reference to real animals gave way to metaphorical ones. The spring 2026 Sciame lecture series takes the idiom literally by addressing the common failure to notice all animals in the built environment.

From the origins of public housing as social infrastructure to its current entanglement with redevelopment logics\, privatization pressures\, and cl imate vulnerability\, this conversation situates NYCHA within broader hist orical and territorial transformations shaping New York City today.\n\nAnc hored between the High Line\, the Hudson River\, and the Meatpacking Distr ict\, our studio examines the Fulton and Elliott–Chelsea Houses as a con tested urban terrain—where public housing stands at the intersection of art\, capital\, infrastructure\, and displacement. Through research-driven analysis and speculative design\, students construct a counter-archive: p roposals that expand affordability\, strengthen resident agency\, and refr ame public housing as civic infrastructure embedded in networks of mobilit y\, culture\, and open space.\n\nPlunz’s lecture deepens this inquiry\, foregrounding the structural forces—historic and ongoing—that define t he housing crisis\, while challenging us to imagine enduring and equitable urban futures.\n\nRichard Plunz is emeritus professor of architecture\, p lanning\, and preservation at Columbia University. His study\, A History o f Housing in New York City\, remains an important resource in the field.

A multispecies ethnographer and anthropologist of design\, his resea rch asks how the built environment shapes ordinary relations of violence\, care\, and justice between humans and other animals. He is currently work ing on a multi-sited ethnography about the environmental politics of bird- window collisions and bird-safe design in the United States. Alongside his anthropological research\, he is the founder and director of Smash the Cr ash\, a university and community initiative to end bird-window collisions in Rochester\, New York.\n\n"Ghosts in the Glass: An Architectural Hauntol ogy of Bird-Window Collisions in the United States": Ornithologists curren tly estimate that upwards of one billion birds die every year in the Unite d States from window collisions. A human-driven source of avian mortality second only to habitat loss\, this “conservation crisis” has literally mortified the built environment\, laminating the urban landscape with car casses and other signs of death that are\, to those who witness them\, hor rific and haunting. In this talk\, I linger with the haunted materialities of glass to illuminate how architecture entangles multispecies modes of l iving and dying in the North American city. Once celebrated by Le Corbusie r as “the fundamental material of modern architecture\,” glass today h as come to bear the moral load of anthropogenic injury and violence. Drawi ng on multi-sited fieldwork with scientists\, architects\, bureaucrats\, a nd residents\, I ethnographically trace how specters of animal life pervad e expert and everyday notions of beauty\, dwelling\, and belonging. A haun tology of bird-window collisions provides an analytical lens through which to conceptualize architecture as both a world-making and an un-making aff air.\n\nSuggested Reading: Dobraszczyk\, Paul\, and Joyce Hwang.

Yamini's res earch intersects animal\, political\, and environmental geography\, multis pecies ethnography\, South Asian studies\, animal labour\, and animals and geopolitics. She is the author of the multi-award-winning Mother Cow\, Mo ther India (Stanford\, 2023). Her current research focuses on animals in c oercive labour in illegal global production chains\, particularly in India ’s construction sector. She is a lifelong Fellow of the Oxford Centre fo r Animal Ethics\, an honour that is conferred through nomination or invita tion only.\n\n"Animating Construction: Animal Labour and Urban Architectur es of Violence": To more fully comprehend the animalities composing contem porary urbanisms\, we must confront the animal labour sustaining global co nstruction - those upon whose backs’ cities are literally constructed. T his lecture examines animals conscripted into coercive labour at the front iers of brick production in South Asia. Bricks are\, at once\, foundationa l to civilization and politically neutralized. Thus\, an analysis that pol iticizes the violence of their making unsettles the very bedrock of human civilisation. Focusing on India’s peri-urban brick kilns\, sites of extr eme human poverty and ecological devastation\, it shows how criminalized e conomies sustain global construction through the maintenance of ‘low-val ue’ human-animal labour relations\, where human precarity demands extrem e extractions from animal bodies. Yet amid these conditions\, fragile but radical visions of alternative worlds emerge. The lecture closes by imagin ing an animals’ ecological politics that safeguards sovereign animal-nat ure relations as integral to renewed urban infrastructural futures.\n\nSug gested Reading: Narayanan\, Yamini.

In this talk\, we’ll explore the evolution of design for animals and what lessons about conservation\, cho ice\, and connection can be learned from modern zoo and aquarium design to inform a holistic approach to any project. Forward-thinking zoos and aqua riums not only conserve animals within their care but also contribute to f ield conservation and are vital community hubs. Fulfilling this mission be gins with place. Design has the power to foster conservation of resources and provide a framework for the conservation of both flora and fauna. Unde rstanding human and animal psychology and behavior allows for the integrat ion of autonomy through choice and control\, which improves animal and hum an well-being. Starting the design process by developing message and exper ience goals provides guideposts that inspire moments of connection between humans and animals and indelible memories for the families and friends wh o visit. Together\, designing with conservation\, choice\, and connection in mind can elevate form to purpose to create not just a building but a pl ace within the context of a broader natural system and organizational miss ion.\n\nSuggested Listening and Reading: BRPH Podcast: Optimizing Zoo Prog ramming and Design and BRPH Designing for Neurodiversity: How Can Zoos\, A quariums and Attractions Incorporate Sensory Inclusion to Welcome All?\n\n "The Elephant in the Room: Locating Animal Lives in Buildings\, Cities\, a nd Landscapes" takes its title from the expression “the elephant in the room\,” which originates in the Russian author Ivan Krylov’s 1814 fabl e “The Inquisitive Man.” In the story\, a visitor to a natural history museum becomes so enthralled with countless “birds and beasts” that h e overlooks the largest of them all: a colossal elephant.

He has practiced with Fábrica de Paisaje (co-found ed in 2007)\, lectured internationally\, and had his scholarship published in specialized journals and edited volumes. Cobas is a founding editor of Vitruvia and is currently working on two book manuscripts. He holds a pro fessional degree in Architecture from FADU-Udelar\, a Master's in Design S tudies (with Distinction) from Harvard GSD\, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in the History and Theory of Architecture from Princeton University. He was the F all 2025 Robertson Visiting Professor at the UVA School of Architecture.\n \n"A Stone Fallen From the Moon … or Elsewhere": The rarefied mineral co nstitution of a meteorite — yet also epiphytic life\, or a life-threaten ing “epidemic” unfolding in the arrière-pays. This talk examines the entangled lives (and afterlifes) of certain object-subjects in late ninete enth- and early twentieth-century Brazil\, tracing their institutional tra jectories and the ways in which they mediated between wondrous exoticism a nd emergent “global” scientific regimes. The remarkable story of the B endegó Meteorite serves as the protagonist in a broader narrative of mode rnization\, scientific systematization\, material geopolitics\, asymmetric cosmogonies\, and the emergence of new interspecies ecologies. Rather tha n a passive specimen— condemned to a foreign “deep time” and an extr a-telluric provenance — the meteorite\, I argue\, becomes a micro-ontolo gical diplomat. What would it mean to locate the modern in the “outside ” of modernity — in the Amazônia\, the Pantanal\, or the Sertão? Wha t forms of agency do nonhuman entities exert in shaping our existential do mains? How do they mediate a world of ontological unease? At the center of this exploration is the concept of the creaturely. Creaturing\, then\, be comes a method to reveal and theorize hitherto unexplored alter-ecologies\ , while foreshadowing lessons we might draw from the “other” in imagin ing (and designing) worlds of beyond-the-human camaraderie. Not quite a cr eature\, the meteorite nonetheless opens a space of radical alterity from which to explore its vital intimations.\n\nSuggested Readings: Cobas\, Mar tín. “Pig\,” in The Architect and the Animal\, edited by Kostas Tsiam baos (Cambridge: The MIT Press\, 2025): 70-75 and Cobas\, Martín. “(Ant i)venom Ecologies: Three or More Issues Concerning the Serpent\, edited by Santiago del Hierro\, Johanna Just\, and Ciro Miguel\, gta papers\, Amaz ônía (2025): 67-83.\n\n"The Elephant in the Room: Locating Animal Lives in Buildings\, Cities\, and Landscapes" takes its title from the expressio n “the elephant in the room\,” which originates in the Russian author Ivan Krylov’s 1814 fable “The Inquisitive Man.” In the story\, a vis itor to a natural history museum becomes so enthralled with countless “b irds and beasts” that he overlooks the largest of them all: a colossal e lephant. As the expression gained currency\, any reference to real animals gave way to metaphorical ones. The spring 2026 Sciame lecture series take s the idiom literally by addressing the common failure to notice all anima ls in the built environment. In the lecture series\, scholars\, designers\ , thinkers\, and activists cast light on imagining\, designing\, and shari ng buildings\, cities\, and landscapes with other species.\n\nMaking space for animals in the built environment often requires diverting attention a way from our human perspective and desires\, thus troubling our own anthro pocentrism and claims about human exceptionalism. More often than not\, th e built environment creates antagonistic\, if not deadly\, conditions for animals. Ballooning construction campaigns\, invasive resource extraction for building materials\, and hermetically sealed structures have all decim ated animal habitats and killed countless animals. Given the planetary thr eats of diminishing biodiversity\, the climate crisis\, and health emergen cies\, recentering animal lives and human-animal relationships in the buil t environment is critical to the survival of all animal life.\n\nAll lectu res are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitz er School of Architecture Sciame Auditorium.

Our goal is to create an interdisciplinary space where people with diverse backgrounds in practi ce and academia can engage in lively\, productive discussions on the annua l topic.\n\nOur theme this year\, “Tipping Points\,” asks the question : how do we recognize when we are hurtling toward collapse—and how do we collectively intervene\, adapt\, and reimagine the landscapes that shape our lives? Bringing together practitioners working across various landscap e disciplines\, we will cover topics ranging from climate resiliency and s oil and decay to urban planning and restoration in late-stage capitalism. By reframing Tipping Points not only as warnings but as invitations to act \, this conference focuses on how collective imagination can be our strong est tool in redirecting the Anthropocene.\n\n5 LA CES HSW PDH credits appr oved\n\nREGISTRATION REQUIRED HERE \n\nSchedule + Speakers:\n\n9:45: Coff ee and Registration\n\n10:15 – 10:30: Opening Remarks\n\n Marta Gutman: Dean\, Spitzer School of Architecture\n Jennifer Birkeland: Incoming Dir ector\, Master of Landscape Architecture Program at Spitzer School of Arch itecture\n Lauren Sarro: ASLA-CCNY Student Chapter President\, MLA ’26\ n\n10:30 – 11:30: Keynote – Carbon Assessment: Leading the Way to a Ne t-Zero Future\n\n Claire Fellman: Senior Associate and Director of Resear ch at Reed Hilderbrand\n\n11:45 – 1:00: Panel – Urban Soils\n\nPanelis ts:\n\n Dr. Paul Mankiewicz: Ph.D.\, Biologist/Plant Scientist- Executive Director of the Gaia Institute\, co-founder of Leaf Island\, and innovato r of GaiaSoil\n Luke Harris: Landscape Architect\, Professor at CCNY\, fo unding member of Office of Living Things\n Dr. Zhongqi Cheng: Chair and P rofessor of Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences\, and Director of The Urban Soils Lab at Brooklyn College\n Zach Schreiber: Assistant Di rector at NYC Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation and Program Ma nager of NYC Clean Soil Bank\n\nModerator: Scout Kerensky-Coodley: ASLA-CC NY Outreach Lead\, MLA ’26\n\n1:00 – 2:15 – Lunch\n\n2:15 – 3:15: Presentation – Designing a Postcapitalistic Practice\n\n Ellen Garrett: Director and Co-Founding Member\, FWD Studio\n\n3:30 – 4:30: Panel – Reimagining Urban Infrastructure in the Anthropocene\n\nPanelists:\n\n Am y Motzny: Landscape Architect and Director of Integrated Water Management at NYC DEP\, Cloudburst Initiative\n Michael Haggerty: Principal at Starr Whitehouse\, Envisioning Climate Resilient Neighborhoods\n Ruth Nervig: Partner at SiteWorks\, Wagner Park: A Reimagined Resilient Waterfront Dest ination\n\nModerator: TBD\n\n4:30: Closing Remarks\n\n Nat Tanko: ASLA-CC NY Student Chapter Vice President\, MLA ’27\n\n5:00 – 7:00: Happy Hour \n\n Location TBD\n CATEGORIES:Events,Special Events LOCATION:Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture\, 141 Convent Aven ue\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States GEO:40.8177595;-73.95047339999996 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=141 Convent Avenue\, New Yo rk\, NY\, 10031\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Bernard and Ann e Spitzer School of Architecture:geo:40.8177595,-73.95047339999996 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:784@ssa.ccny.cuny.edu DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260420T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260420T110000 DTSTAMP:20260413T155058Z URL:https://ssa.ccny.cuny.edu/events/resilience-beyond-control/ SUMMARY:Resilience Beyond Control DESCRIPTION:\n\nPlease RSVP\n\n\nSpitzer School of Architecture (Room 128)\ n141 Convent Avenue\nNew York\, NY 10031\n\nPlease join us for the last Sp ring 2026 Urban Design Seminar II Guest Speaker Series.\n\n \;\n\nResi lience Beyond Control\n\nGuest Speaker\nAndrew Leung\, AICP (Associate Pri ncipal – Skidmore\, Owings &\; Merrill)\n\nModerated by\nJun Seong Ah n\n\nThe seminar runs in tandem with the core Urban Design Lab studio\, wh ich is focused on the Vishwamitri River in India\, near the city of Vadoda ra.

He lives in Colo rado with his wife\, his daughter\, and his dog\, Kit — which is\, of co urse\, what you call a baby beaver.\n\n"Paved Paradise: The Impacts of Roa ds and the Rise of Transportation Ecology": Some 40 million miles of roadw ays encircle the earth\, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. While roads are so ubiquitous they’re practicall y invisible to us\, wild animals experience them as alien forces of death and disruption. More than a million animals are killed by cars each day in the U.S. alone\; creatures from antelope to salmon are losing their abili ty to migrate in search of food and mates\; and the very noise of traffic chases songbirds from vast swaths of habitat. Today\, road ecologists are seeking to blunt that destruction through innovative solutions. Conservati onists are building bridges for California’s mountain lions and tunnels for English toads\, engineers are deconstructing the labyrinth of logging roads that web national forests\, and community organizers are working to undo the havoc highways have wreaked upon American cities. In his talk\, B en Goldfarb will discuss the ecological harms wrought by transportation an d the movement to redress them — and how we can create a better\, safer world for all living beings.\n\nSuggested Reading: How Roadkill Became an Environmental Disaster\, Ben Goldfarb\, The Atlantic\, 2019.\n\n"The Eleph ant in the Room: Locating Animal Lives in Buildings\, Cities\, and Landsca pes" takes its title from the expression “the elephant in the room\,” which originates in the Russian author Ivan Krylov’s 1814 fable “The I nquisitive Man.” In the story\, a visitor to a natural history museum be comes so enthralled with countless “birds and beasts” that he overlook s the largest of them all: a colossal elephant.

Working with exactly the same set of 5\,000 floral foam blocks (7.8 ″×3.5″×2.4″)\, each installation explored a distinct methodologica l approach while operating within an identical material and spatial constr aint. The studio treated drawing and ‘construction’ not as sequential stages but as a single\, continuous act of thought. Drawings\, diagrams\, and 1:12 scale models were pursued alongside full-scale building\, each fe eding back into the other\, offering a study of how architectural ideas ar e tested\, transformed\, and translated across different scales of represe ntation and construction. The fourth and final installation\, presented in the exhibition\, brings together the accumulated experiments of the previ ous three full-scale installations – from sculpture and interior to a co llective 20 × 5-meter megastructure – into a three-dimensional assembla ge that synthesizes the formal\, spatial\, and organizational questions de veloped throughout the studio.\n\nThe exhibition opens on July 22 at 3pm i n rooms 217 and 218. It will remain on view to the SSA community through A ugust 13\, Monday through Thursday\, 8am–8pm (closed Fridays and weekend s). Visitors who are not part of the SSA community are kindly asked to arr ange their visit by contacting BUMP Studio via Instagram.\n\nParticipating students: Abigail Bangari\, Emily Chen\, Joshua Tolbert\, Yinglan Lao\, N oah Lettrick\, Cynthia Luna-Marcelino\, Saul Martinez\, Eliana Saquicili\, Madelyn Sow\, Taz Sultan\, Amy Taveras\, Le Ngu Phuc Xuan Hoa Tran\, Jesh ua Nunez\, Christine Pang\, FNU Rahima\, Kavindya Widanagama\, Howie Wong\ , Zi Leng Wong\, Xiang Zhuang\, and Zamia Zannat.

With a robust exhib ition documenting a quarter-century of exemplary design focused on urban p ublic space\, and a robust program of public events\, the Spitzer School a nd the CCCB insist that design matters and that dialogue about cities and public space is both possible and necessary in our increasingly urbanized and fractured world.\n \;\nExhibition\nThe exhibition starts from the premise that design shapes the conditions of everyday life in cities. It p ositions design as a critical form of inquiry that engages questions of eq uity\, governance\, ecology\, and collective well-being\, and tackles desi gn in relationship to ten themes.\n\n Memory: Overlapping Times\n Mobili ty: Sharing Movement\n Hybrids: Fostering Complexity\n Waterfront: Livin g with Water\n Naturalization: Activating Ecologies\n Recycle: Revitaliz ing Urban Fabrics\n Marketplace: Exchanging Wealth\n Participation: Bein g Together\n Housing and Public Space\n Childhood and Care\n\nThe soluti ons exhibited offer examples of best practices at every possible scale of intervention: a bench\, a playground\, a waterway\, a public square.\n&nb sp\;\nPublic Events\nIn conjunction with the exhibition\, the Spitzer Scho ol and the CCCB will convene a robust program of public events\, hosting c onversations between colleagues from different parts of the world.\n\nPra ctitioners\, teachers\, and thinkers will reflect on the expanded role of design in contemporary society and examine how architectural and urban pra ctices can respond to complex\, often conflicting demands ranging from pub lic accountability and environmental resilience to cultural specificity an d global interdependence. The discussions will foreground design not as a neutral act\, but as a situated and ethical practice with material consequ ences.\n \;\nColloquium: Why Design Matters?

A mu ltidisciplinary researcher\, he is internationally recognized for innovati ve ideas to improve urban life. Creator of the “15-Minute City\,” he r eceived the 2022 UN-Habitat Scroll of Honour. He is a member of the French Academy of Technologies\, the International Academy of Architecture\, the American Academy of Housing and Communities\, and Sigma Xi. Widely awarde d and influential\, his writings appear in 14 languages\, and he is regard ed as one of the world’s leading contemporary urban thinkers.\n\n"From C risis to Proximity: A New Social Contract for Cities": Today’s urban cri ses — climate disruption\, rising inequalities\, mobility pressure\, hou sing shortages\, and social fragmentation — lie at the heart of deterior ating well-being and quality of life. In a predominantly urban world\, it is essential to pursue deep reflection and decisive action to transform th is malaise through new urban approaches. Throughout history\, proximity — the capacity for people to remain connected — has been a key lever f or rebuilding social cohesion. This lecture argues that we must go further and establish a new social contract for cities\, grounded in proximity as a civic\, ecological\, and economic principle. By rethinking how we organ ise time\, space\, and everyday access\, proximity provides a powerful fra mework for transforming urban life. Concepts such as the “x-minute city ” and “high-quality social life” demonstrate how human-scale ecosyst ems can reduce carbon emissions\, ease daily stress\, strengthen communiti es\, and create new forms of economic value. In this vision\, proximity is neither a trend nor a lifestyle choice\, but a structural response to the crises shaping urban futures — one that can make cities more humane\, i nclusive\, and resilient. As a new urban era emerges\, proximity becomes t he cornerstone of a renewed pact between citizens\, institutions\, and ter ritories\, enabling people not only to live in cities but to flourish in t hem.\n\nSuggested Reading: Moreno\, Carlos.
