In the sixth episode of the A&E System mini-series, Claire Cancilla (‘20 MSHP) & Maya Ephrem (‘20 MSUP) discuss their involvement in "The A&E System: Public Works and Private Interest in Architectural and Engineering Services, 2000–2020," a publication developed by the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia GSAPP from 2017 to 2020. The "A&E System" project initiated at the Buell Center asked: Who will design and manage the green infrastructure needed to combat climate change? In the United States today, whether this infrastructure is financed publicly or privately, it would most likely be designed and managed by public-private partnerships led by large architecture and engineering (A&E) firms, or what we are here calling the “A&E System.” The resulting publication, a resource for students, teachers, and professionals in the arts and sciences of the built environment, is available on the Buell Center’s “Power: Infrastructure in America” website: power.buellcenter.columbia.edu.…

Ginger Krieg Dosier in Conversation with Lola Ben-Alon. In the final conversation of the Natural Materials mini-series, faculty Lola Ben-Alon and architectural researcher, Ginger Krieg Dosier, discuss the process of developing and manufacturing natural material products. Dosier is the founder and CEO of bioMASON, a natural material compound employing microorganisms and chemical processes to organically create cement-based materials for construction, with the aim of replacing traditional, more damaging cementitious materials. The Natural Materials mini-series consists of conversations with designers, builders, and product developers of clay, bamboo, fibers, and bacterial concrete. Natural Materials are defined as minimally processed, readily available, non-toxic, healthy, and engaging materials. They are critically needed to reduce carbon emissions and extractive, harmful impacts associated with conventional building materials. (This conversation was recorded remotely in December 2020.)…

Elora Hardy in Conversation with Lola Ben-Alon. This week as part of the Natural Materials mini-series, Lola Ben-Alon speaks with architect, artist, and designer, Elora Hardy (IBUKU), about designing and building with bamboo in Indonesia. Hardy’s work, from her time as a designer at DKNY to her time as an architectural designer in Bali today, has garnered international attention. Her complex designs utilize natural materials, namely bamboo. The structures seem to defy nature, while at the same time following the natural properties of the materials used. The Natural Materials mini-series consists of conversations with designers, builders, and product developers of clay, bamboo, fibers, and bacterial concrete.

Natural materials are defined as minimally processed, readily available, nontoxic, healthy, and engaging materials. They are critically needed to reduce carbon emissions and extractive harmful impact associated with conventional building materials. In kicking off the Natural Materials mini-series, Lola Ben-Alon, Assistant Professor of Architectural Technology speaks with East-Coast-based architect Sigi Koko about building naturally with earthen materials like clay, as part of an architectural practice. Koko’s work displays amazing ways that earthen materials behave in the dramatically different climates of the United States, and how we could benefit from incorporating these earthen materials in our own work. The conversation is the first of a four-part mini-series on how experimenting with and utilizing natural materials is changing the future of architecture and design pedagogy.

This Spring, Untapped New York is collaborating with Columbia GSAPP to create a mini-series of podcasts designed to share architectural and historic highlights of Columbia University’s neighborhood and surrounding New York City communities for listeners who are unable to travel to the city in person at this time. In this second installment, Michelle Young and Justin Rivers of Untapped New York explore neighborhoods in Upper Manhattan. They head from Morningside Heights to Harlem, Hamilton Heights, Washington Heights, and Inwood. Along the way, they point out culinary and cultural highlights of each neighborhood, including NYC’s largest slice at Koronet Pizza in Morningside Heights, Harlem’s Apollo Theater, the Audubon Mural Project in Hamilton Heights, and the many parks and views of Washington Heights. We also hear from Columbia affiliated residents of Harlem and Washington Heights who tell us about why they love their neighborhoods.

Memories of the Resistance: A Spatial Investigation 18:47

18:47

Sophie Hochhäusl in Conversation with Emmanuel Olunkwa. In episode #91, CCCP student Emmanuel Olunkwa speaks with architectural historian Sophie Hochhäusl. Hochhäusl is an Assistant Professor for Architectural History and Theory at the University of Pennsylvania. Her scholarly work centers on modern architecture and urban culture in Austria, Germany, and the United States, with a focus on the history of social movements, gender studies, and environmental history. Today, Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky (1897-2000) has been widely recognized as one of the most significant female figures in modern design who worked in Austria, Germany, the Soviet Union, and Turkey in the 1920s and 1930s. These decades of professional work were marked by a drastic break between 1940 and 1945, when Schütte-Lihotzky was interned for her participation in the Communist resistance against the Nazi regime. Her recollections from the years of internment became the subject of the 1984 German-language book “Erinnerungen aus dem Widerstand (Memories of the Resistance).” In this episode, Sophie Hochhäusl discusses her book “Memories of the Resistance: Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky and the Architecture of Collective Dissidence, 1919-1989,” which explores the architect's book as a critical historical document that exemplifies the spatialization of organized dissent in the 1940s. It provides a glimpse into resistance as lived practice and how dissent became activated by solidarity and collective action. The episode was recorded following Sophie Hochhäusl’s Detlef Mertins Lecture on the Histories of Modernity at GSAPP on February 24, 2020.…
