On June 6, 2011 the National Building Museum will convene a one-day forum to explore the intersection of data, technology, and cities. Informed by a series of Intelligent Cities infographics that have appeared in TIME and responses from public polling queries, the forum will engage thought leaders, government officials, and the public to think about how to use existing and emerging technologies to improve our built environment. Held in the Great Hall of our historic home in Washington, D.C., this event will be simultaneously broadcast on the web.

Interactive presentations throughout the day will explore such topics as:

What Makes an Intelligent City?
The City as a Lab
Engaging the Broader Community
Regionally Thinking: Transportation, Affordability, and Equity
Imagining a Healthier City
Community and Social Interaction in the Wireless City

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.
