SUMMARY:Queens Museum Exhibits Student Work
DESCRIPTION:Location\nThe Queens Museum\, New York City Building\nFlushing 
 Meadows Corona Park\nQueens\, NY 11368\n\nResulting from this pilot partne
 rship between the Queens Museum and Unit 25\, a transdisciplinary graduate
  design studio at Spitzer\, Building Culture asked architecture students 
 to investigate how architecture intersects and participates with the myria
 d ways humans construct systems of support\, solidarity\, and their shared
  futures.\n\nIf culture is taken as a verb—the collective\, contradictor
 y undertaking in which we imagine new ways of being together\, cultivating
  and tending to a way of life that has been imagined but has not yet arriv
 ed—then what does architecture look like when it helps build culture ins
 tead of just buildings?\n\nSituated in Central Queens\, this transdiscipli
 nary\, pedagogical experiment encouraged students to use a range of resear
 ch techniques to explore how the built environment influences social and e
 conomic life. 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
