This "Another Architecture" blog started as an intermittent chronicle of my architecture fellowship at Akademie Schloss Solitude. I was back in New York for the summer, preparing for the next phase of my fellowship in Zagreb Croatia, when I got a call from U. of Michigan to teach the Fall 2013 studio for their Master of Urban Design program. The studio was sited in Mumbai.
[This last post of 2013 ends the chapter of this blog as a chronicle of research, theory, and travel. I am picking this up in 2014 as a more frequent update from the perspective of a practitioner, mostly based in Brooklyn.]
Mumbai / Bombay is an incredible place - hyper dense, active, extreme. It makes New York feel empty and banal in comparison. Photos from the U. of Michigan studio trip, our pop-up exhibit at Studio X Mumbai, and links to the studio's work are below. 3 projects from the studio are being submitted to the UN Habitat competition on "Housing at the Center."
Student work and background on the competition projects, pop-up exhibit, and video of the Mumbai Anthropocene Roundtable can be found at the Mumbai Anthropocene blog
Posts are sporadic. Topics span architecture, urban design, planning, and tangents from these. I sometimes include excerpts of academic articles. There is an evolving series of interviews with non-architects about subjects often discussed by architects (neighborhoods, social justice, style, etc). This blog started during my fellowship at Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, Germany.
