ACTAR Press and AUDC are having a party 6:30pm Monday, Nov 20th at the GSAPP (Wood Auditorium, Avery Hall)...
Desert America takes on the discussion of the American desert as a space of extreme uses and activities. The desert is a huge paradox: beneath the immensity and silence of its outward appearance, the traces of all kinds of activities, experiments, mysteries, fictions
and utopias can be heard. Far from being empty, the desert is full of an uninhibited, excessive activity that encompasses everything from oases of entertainment to the secret staging of
military power. The most hostile and seemingly uninhabitable of
environments turns out to be an ideal setting for action.
Speakers:
Michael Bell, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ARCHITECTURE, GSAPP
Sanford Kwinter, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ARCHITECTURE, RICE UNIVERSITY
Kate Orff, DIRECTOR, URBAN LANDSCAPE RESEARCH LAB, GSAPP
Kazys Varnelis, DIRECTOR, NETWORK ARCHITECTURE LAB, GSAPP
Moderated by Michael Kubo, DIRECTOR, ACTAR NEW YORK
Event co-sponsored by ACTAR to celebrate the publication of its new title, Desert America: Territory of Paradox.
