On Friday, February 10, the Center for American Architecture and Design will host Martin Hättasch as part of the Friday Lunch Forum series.
Roughly every other Friday during the fall and spring semesters, the Center hosts the Friday Lunch Forum Series. The aim of the series is for faculty, staff, and students to meet in an informal atmosphere to debate topics and to share ideas about history, practice, theory, and new directions for architecture. Recordings of each forum will be posted as they become available.

The installation is the latest investigation in a fascinating series that explores the ephemeral potential of the material when layered and carefully configured in three dimensions.
DESCRIPTION
Of the 203 people with voting seats on the decision making entities at the 9 largest Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in the State of Texas, only 41 are women. Non-hispanic white Texans make up 40% of the people of these 9 MPOs, but hold 59% of the voting seats. Yet these numbers somewhat hide the depth of the problem, with the large number of seats held by Hispanics in the MPOs along the border counterbalancing the lack of seats held by people of color in Houston and Dallas - Fort Worth.
