The Samuel Rudin Distinguished Visiting Scholar Lecture: Alan M. Hantman, FAIA

2024-04-24T12:48:00-04:00

Alan M. Hantman, FAIA, returns to CCNY as this year’s Samuel Rudin Distinguished Visiting Scholar.

Join us as we celebrate the publishing of "Under the Dome: Politics, Crisis, and Architecture at the United States Capitol" by Alan Hantman, FAIA. Books will be available for sale at the Rudin Lecture and Alan will be signing books after the lecture.

Alan was in the first graduating class of what became the CCNY Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture. He was awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1964, a Bachelor of Architecture in 1966, both from CCNY, followed by a Masters in Urban Planning from CUNY in 1979. And most recently, he remains connected to the College serving on the Architecture School’s Dean’s Advisory Council.

Alan, a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, was appointed 10th Architect of the Capitol by President Bill Clinton and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate. With a staff of 2,300, he was entrusted with the operation and preservation of all ...

MEDIA DESIGN PRACTICES MFA - THESIS LIVE 2024

Joshua Ramus of REX lectures on "Empowerment"

2024-03-28T11:10:00-04:00

Believing architecture should actively empower its users and communities—not simply be a representational art—REX advances building paradigms and promotes the agency of architecture. This ethos guides the studio’s aspiration to produce inventive designs so functionally specific that they offer new and inspiring aesthetic experiences. Across typologies, REX has found architecture’s most powerful tools for empowerment to be new forms of flexibility. However, despite an increased need to accommodate change, contemporary architecture still relies on the antiquated modernist vision of flexibility: a blank slate (or white cube or black box) upon which any activity can occur. This approach has historically produced banal, sterile architecture, and the intellectual and economic costs to reconfigure these architectural tabula rasae have become prohibitive. New concepts of flexibility must and can be advanced.

Architecture Engaged SP 24 Lecture Series - Dylan Wood

2024-03-11T17:34:00-04:00

Presenting "Building Material Intelligence" by Dylan Wood, Dr.-Ing

Dylan Wood is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Oregon, with a focus on material driven computational design and advanced manufacturing. At the University of Oregon he is establishing the Material Intelligence Lab, which will leverage advances in computation to explore new design and engineering potentials for natural bio based resources. These methods explore how computational design enables simple, ecological and material effective construction as well as new geometric opportunities and functionalities.

In parallel, he is the co-founder of the spin-off company hylo tech. Previously, he led the Material Programming Research Group at the Institute for Computational Design where he completed his PhD in Engineering on the topic of large scale self-shaping for curved surface active timber structures in collaboration with the ETH Zurich and Blumer Lehmann AG.

Professionally he has worked as a ...

Architecture Engaged SP24 Lecture Series - Forest Meggers

2024-03-11T17:30:00-04:00

Forrest Meggers is an associate professor at Princeton University jointly appointed in the School of Architecture and in the engineering school at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. He founded and directs the PhD track in computation and energy at the SoA, and he founded and directs the CHAOS (Cooling and Heating for Architecturally Optimized Systems or And Other Stuff) Lab, where he and his research team investigate alternative thermal paradigms to challenge the status quo in system design for the built environment.

Meggers’ fields of knowledge include building systems design and integration, radiant systems, desiccants, exergy analysis; geothermal energy; seasonal energy storage; building materials; thermodynamics and heat transfer; and heat pumps. His most recent projects include the ColdTube, which demonstrated the world’s first outdoor radiant cooling pavilion in Singapore, making Singapore feel “cold” outside for arguably the first time in the existence of t...

James Wines | SITE “Cohabitation – Trying to Do More With Less”

2024-03-02T16:36:00-05:00

James Wines, founder of the architecture and environmental design studio SITE, has spent much of his career challenging the notion that architecture is an act of formal invention. His lecture “Cohabitation – Trying to Do More With Less” will discuss the history of technology and the production of extreme waste and urbanization focusing on the Economy of SITE : “WHAT, IF ANYTHING DID WE DO RIGHT?”

As he explains, “SITE’s work is about inversion, fusion, intervention, exaggeration—often just taking something apart and examining the elements of construction from a different point of view.”

For Wines, assembling new meanings from existing architectural forms was a more challenging pursuit than creating new forms altogether. SITE tested many of these initial ideas through an extended partnership with the Best Products Company (also known as BEST), which commissioned the studio to design a series of suburban showrooms between 1972 and 1980. Using the big-box retailer’s warehouse-like bu...

Bookmaking Workshop with Phillip Denny

2024-01-31T20:22:00-05:00

It is almost impossible to imagine architecture without books: from theoretical treatises to construction documents, our field is built one page at a time. Although books are ubiquitous in practice and discourse, architects rarely have the opportunity to engage the book as a format with an architecture of its own.

This workshop explores the material, experiential, historical, formal, and social dimensions of the book. A series of short exercises will introduce participants to fundamental bookmaking processes and techniques that make the book a generative medium for architectural thought.

Lunch Lecture: Formats with Phillip Denny

2024-01-31T20:10:00-05:00

Phillip Denny works across architecture. A trained architect and historian, his practice combines inquiry and design to create projects in formats including books, essays, archives, lectures, pedagogies, and exhibitions. Alongside Rem Koolhaas and Irma Boom, he taught The Book in the Age of…, a graduate research seminar at Harvard GSD, and subsequently created an exhibition and book under the same title.

He has recently contributed articles to Architectural Digest, Log, and Domus, and has previously written for The New York Times, Metropolis, and other publications. In parallel with his research and writing, Phillip collaborates with architects to develop books, exhibitions, and archives. He is currently working with Diller Scofidio + Renfro and SITE/James Wines. He is editing a comprehensive monograph on the work of Diller Scofidio + Renfro since its founding in 1981.

A PhD Candidate at Harvard University, his dissertation attends to the architectural history of modern labor movem...

Lunch Lecture with Vinu Daniels (Wallmakers)

2024-01-31T20:10:00-05:00

Supported by the Architecture–Engineering–Construction Management Program

Vinu Daniel completed his B. Arch in 2005 from The College of Engineering, Trivandrum, following which he worked with Auroville Earth Institute for the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) Post-Tsunami construction. On returning from Pondicherry in 2007 he started 'Wallmakers' which was christened thus by others, as the first project was just a compound wall. Many eye-openers in the course of his practice prompted him to resolve to devote his energies towards the cause of sustainable and cost-effective architecture. With a practice, spanning over more than a decade, Wallmakers has won many international accolades including being selected by ArchDaily as the only Indian practice in the list of 20 Young Practices of 2020, being nominated for the Brick Award 2022 and winning The Royal Academy Dorfman Award 2022 conducted by the Royal Academy of Arts, London to name a few.
