ItemNouvelles Richesses: Curating the French National Pavilion at the 2016 Biennale(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-11-03) Martinetti, Grichka ; Pimas, Jordi

ItemLines in the City(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-11-01) Castilla, IsabelUtilizing three projects characterized for their linear form and unique existing conditions, the lecture will describe the design process of public spaces of large scale that seek to activate existing underutilized sectors of the City and in doing so, place the investment in public spaces in the forefront of overall economic development for large city sectors. Projects to be discussed include the Underline a 10-mile long linear park situated on the currently vacant land under an elevated Metrorail, the High Line, a 1.5-mile long linear promenade in New York City built over an abandoned elevated train trestle and the renovation of Lincoln Road, one of the first pedestrian malls built in the USA in the 1960’s.

ItemCollective Weathers(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-09-29) Hoang, PhuThe crisis of climate change is not simply an environmental project; it is also a socio-cultural project that requires all of the resources of cross-disciplinary design thinking. Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem, co-directors of MODU, argue that the undeniable truth of climate change can learn from weather itself—requiring design strategies that are varied, differentiated, mediated, and adaptive. Social collectivity in thermally active spaces is at the core of MODU’s work.

ItemMultiple Agendas(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-02-17) Mayne, ThomThom Mayne founded Morphosis in 1972 as a collective architectural practice engaged in crossdisciplinary research and design; today, the firm is based in Los Angeles, New York, and Shanghai, with projects built world-wide. Framing his lecture at Georgia Tech against this backdrop, Thom will trace the development of some of the major themes and interests that have defined Morphosis over forty years of practice, from their emergence in early Morphosis projects and explorations, to their realization in the diverse scales and project types that make up the firm's current work. In each project, an examination of the built form reveals how the design process begins with and shaped by the specific questions we choose to acknowledge in our own investigation.

ItemLight in the Public Realm(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-02-15) Carpenter, JamesAt the intersection of art, engineering and architecture "Light in the Public Realm" will explore James Carpenter's focus upon the phenomenological qualities of light as a central organizing principle of the public realm. Using infrastructural, cultural and civic projects, James Carpenter will outline some of his firms' innovative strategies that merge program, performance, structure and light to reveal the unique characteristics of a place and to embody a deeper collective experience of nature.

ItemBuildings and Almost Buildings(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-02-03) Bunge, EricPrincipals Eric Bunge and Mimi Hoang founded nARCHITECTS in 1999 with the aim of addressing contemporary issues in architecture through conceptually driven, socially engaging and technologically innovative work. The letter 'n' represents a variable, indicating our interest in designing for a dynamic variety of experiences within a cohesive approach. In this spirit, we embrace challenges and scalea of work ranging from buildings to public spaces to interiors, and across cultural, residential and commercial uses.

ItemAn Urban Experiment - WXY Recent Work(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-01-27) Weisz, ClaireClaire Weisz is an architect, an urbanist, and a founding principal of WXY. With her partners Mark Yoes, Layng Pew, and Adam Lubinsky, Claire focuses on innovative approaches to public space, structures) and cities. WXY's architecture and planning work for cities and communities is centered around the art of re-imagining infrastructure. The studios' award winning work has been published broadly and has been recognized for its architectural approach to the infrastructure of place. In addition to design awards from the AIAJ ASLA and APA, WXY was also awarded with the Emerging Voices and Architectural League Prize from The Architectural League of New York .

ItemFrom Medium Specificity to Medium Technicity(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-11-10) Abrioux, YvesThe notion of pure or 'specific' media, which was highly influential in defining the moment of modernism, had the effect of foregrounding the expressive possibilities of any given medium, beyond that of abstract painting to which the term medium specificity originally applied. Its continuing relevance is anything but obvious in a 'post media' world in which digital media have developed the capacity to subsume all other technological media-and indeed promise, in some readings, to provoke the disappearance of media (and the human) as such, in favor of the autonomous proliferation of self-sufficient data streams. A concept of medium technicity can, however, be derived from the French philosopher Gilbert Simondon's analysis of the history of technology, that allows for an intensification of the capabilities of media and underlines their continued relevance in an environment in which binary code is held to reign supreme.

ItemThe Well-Tempered City: What Modern Science, Ancient Civilizations, and Human Nature Teach Us About the Future of Urban Life(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-10-18) Rose, Jonathan F. P.In the vein of Jane Jacobs’s The Death and Life of Great American Cities and Edward Glaeser’s Triumph of the City, Jonathan F. P. Rose—a visionary in urban development and renewal—champions the role of cities in addressing the environmental, economic, and social challenges of the twenty-first century. Cities are birthplaces of civilization; centers of culture, trade, and progress; cauldrons of opportunity—and by 2080 will be home to 80 percent of the world’s population. As the twenty-first century progresses, metropolitan areas will bear the brunt of global megatrends such as climate change, natural resource depletion, population growth, income inequality, mass migration, and education and health disparity, among many others. In The Well-Tempered City, Jonathan F. P. Rose—the man who “repairs the fabric of cities”—distills a lifetime of interdisciplinary research and firsthand experience into a five-pronged model for designing and reshaping cities with the goal of equalizing their landscape of opportunity. Drawing from the musical concept of “temperament,” Rose argues that well-tempered cities can be infused with systems that bend the arc of their development toward equality, resilience, adaptability, and well-being, to achieve ever-unfolding harmony between civilization and nature. While these goals may never be fully attained, if we at least aspire to them, and approach every plan and constructive step with this intention, our cities will be richer and happier.

ItemToward An Urban Ecology(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-10-12) Orff, KatePart monograph, part manual, part manifesto, Toward an Urban Ecology re-conceives urban landscape design as a form of activism, demonstrating how to move beyond familiar and increasingly outmoded ways of thinking about environmental, urban, and social issues as separate domains; and advocating for the synthesis of practice to create a truly urban ecology. The book depicts a range of participatory and science-based strategies through the lens of SCAPE’s practice, featuring projects, collaborators, and invited essays on urban ecological design.
