The student led CRP Diversity Committee, hosts a special UTSOA roundtable discussion on race and gender and LGBTQI issues in the built environment. Students and faculty across the fields of architecture and planning will discuss their scholarly and professional work with race, gender and space, as well as their broader reflections on policy, design, theory and practice in their respective fields. This is an informal yet critical discussion, and we strongly encourage a horizontal and honest exchange among all in attendance.
Discussion panel to include:
This lecture surveys essential concepts and significant past and current projects that deal with interactive, responsive environments, i.e. buildings that can change their configuration, appearance, and environmental conditions in response to patterns of occupation and context (and in return can shape those too). The principal argument is that change in architecture is far from being adequately addressed or explored theoretically, experimentally, or phenomenologically.
On Friday, September 23, the Center for American Architecture and Design hosts Wilfried Wang 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.

Caroline Bruzelius is a scholar of medieval architecture in France and Italy, and has published books and articles on French Gothic architecture (the Cistercians, St. Denis, and Notre-Dame in Paris) and on the medieval churches of Naples.

DESCRIPTION:
In 2012, Austin’s City Council voted unanimously to adopt Imagine Austin, the City’s first comprehensive plan in 30 years. Creating a comprehensive plan is one thing, but implementing it is something else. Come hear from Greg Guernsey and Matt Dugan about the story of implementation and what they have learned over the last four years.
Greg Guernsey, AICP, Director - Planning and Zoning Department
This hour-long session will be a crash course on how to use analog methods of photography. Participants will be taught how to load, shoot, and unload 35mm black-and-white film in the VRC's Nikon analog cameras or 120mm black-and-white film in our Holga cameras. Participants are asked to bring their own unopened 35mm or 120mm film to the workshop for shooting.
