Recording now available: “Melting Into Air” featuring Iman Ansari [3/17; Spring 2022 Sciame Lecture Series themed “Radical Black Space”]. Melting into Air Architecture is the domain of interactions: the disciplinary exchange of knowledge and expertise, the technical intervention of tools and techniques of practice, and even the physical interplay of objects, bodies, and particles in space. Beyond a reliance on form and object-making practices, Iman Ansari’s work considers architecture as a framework for those epistemological, socio-technical, and material interactions.… Read More »

Forum on the Nature of Enclosure – Jeffrey S. Nesbit and Shawn Rickenbacker – Spring 2022 Lecture Recording
Jeffrey S. Nesbit and Shawn Rickenbacker come together to discuss the upcoming book, Nature of Enclosure (Actar Publishers, 2022). In this forum, topics and themes challenge historical episodes of the enclosed environment and reflect on its cultural impact in contemporary society. From Crystal Palace in 1851 to Buckminster Fuller’s Spaceship Earth in 1969, nature became enclosed. Claimed to be a reaction of Norbert Weiner’s cybernetics, Fuller’s geodesic domes became symbols of American counterculture. Yet, from Fuller’s description of Spaceship Earth “sea masters,”… Read More »
