Earthbound Builders Collective gave an in-depth presentation and led a hands-on workshop on the versatile ways clay plasters can be used as a local, sustainable component of high performance wall assemblies. Participants learned methods of application and investigated a range of natural additives that enhance the material.
What happens when you bring together storytelling, dialogue, and design? You get a Mass Story Lab, an interactive storytelling event that promotes community, creativity, and justice. In a Mass Story Lab the experiences of people directly impacted by mass incarceration become a catalyst for imagining a world beyond prisons.
Please join Peace Corps recruiter Rachel Santos for a presentation on opportunities available within the organization on Thursday, October 6 at 11am in Sutton Hall 2.110 (Green Chair Room).
The Peace Corps is a service opportunity for motivated changemakers to immerse themselves in a community abroad, working side by side with local leaders to tackle the most pressing challenges of our generation.
Join us for this lecture Wednesday at 5 PM!
States of Incarceration is the first national traveling multi-media exhibition and coordinated public dialogue to explore the history and future of mass incarceration in the United States. UTSOA students led by Professor Sarah Lopez partnered with a New School-led coalition of 500 university students and formerly incarcerated individuals from 20 cities to create the traveling exhibition.
Please note: This workshop has reached capacity and registration has closed.
This workshop will be a two-and-a-half-hour hands-on tutorial for students who are interested in learning how to make prints from black-and-white film negatives in the UTSOA's Darkroom. Students will learn how to use an enlarger to expose their negatives onto resin-coated paper. Correct exposure and developing times will be covered as well as proper print washing and drying techniques. Negatives can be provided if needed.
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.
