What form should disruption take architecturally? CEPT University professor Arijit Chatterjee is after an answer as the 2021 Steedman Fellow

An announcement from the school commended Chatterjee’s ability to dissect “how political power overlaps with landscapes” as well as the overall attention it paid to “the material and spatial consequences of these power struggles over water and industry.” 

Another project focusing on “limitations of quantitative accounting of future impacts by connecting abstract accounting for future harm to immediate acts of reparation” from Yale SoA Master’s candidate Jack Rusk was selected as an alternative. It was joined by projects from fellow SoA master’s candidate Audrey Fischer and alums Daniel Jacobs (2014) and Laura Pappalardo (2021) on a list of special mentions that also includes recent Auburn University graduate Pilar Zuluaga.

This year's jury was chaired by US Green Building Council Resilience Steering Committee member and WUSTL adjunct lecturer Mary Ann Lazarus. She was joined by Leddy Maytum Stacy founder Marsha Maytum, UPenn Weitzman School professor Billy Fleming, WUSTL's Shantel Blakely, and All of the Above founding principal Janette Kim on the jury for this year's competition, which was organized by professors Patty Heyda and Chandler Ahrens in coordination with 1973 Steedman Fellow William Wischmeyer.
