The Greater Philadelphia Roundtable: Join in a discussion of Philadelphia history and issues, and help to shape the project to create an Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia! During 2011-12, our theme is "Phrasing Philadelphia," as we take a look behind the slogans for the history and ideas that unite and sometimes divide us.

Cradle of Liberty

Philadelphia gained fame for its role in the American Revolution. How have Philadelphians continued to pursue freedom and social justice, and what legacy does this create for the future? This panel will be moderated by Richard Beeman of the University of Pennsylvania with panelists including Gary Nash of UCLA; Michael Coard of the Avenging the Ancestors Coalition; and Richard Newman of the Rochester Institute of Technology. Everyone who attends will have the opportunity to offer suggestions for

The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia

, a digital information project currently in its planning stages.

Teachers may receive Act 48 credit for attending this program.

To prime the discussion, look for Gary Nash's essay on The Cradle of Liberty in the Currents section of the

Philadelphia Inquirer

on Sunday, June 19, followed also by posting on this Web site and on

HIGHLIGHTS

The Critical Moment: Architecture in the Expanded Field

Thursday, September 15, 2011

through Saturday, November 05, 2011

Cooper Union

The Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Gallery

7 East 7th Street

New York, New York

Debuting in the Houghton Gallery at Cooper Union, graduates of the Master of Architecture II Program will have their innovative 2011 thesis projects on display in "The Critical Moment: Architecture in the expanded field." The show, which is free, marks the first public viewing of the Master students' work. Without prescribed boundaries, the projects address a myriad of critical issues shaping today's architectural discourse, ranging from urban theory to the present condition of globalization and the continual emergence of new scientific developments and technologies. The exhibition illuminates the graduates' year-long extensive research using literature, photography, drawing, technology, history and urban studies to develop innovative programs, all of which feature configurations and narratives that bring forth potential solutions that may not be obvious to the viewer.

In 2009, the Master of Architecture (M.Arch. II) enrolled its first class and provides graduate students with an innovative approach and experience to a studio-based, design research post-professional degree. Open to applicants with a first professional degree in architecture, students are challenged to push the frontiers of design and form critical responses to modern and contemporary issues in the practice and theory of architecture.
