Ultra Exposure (Saturday)

07.16.11, (Time TBD): The Tateuchi Democracy Forum

•  Moderator:  Sylvia Lavin, Chair of the Ph.D. in Architecture program and Professor of Architectural History and Theory at UCLA

 •  Ultra Exposure will bring together an international roster of speakers to explore the continued relevance of the 1970 Osaka Expo for thinking about the future city and the potential of design and technology to instigate positive change.  Lectures and panels will discuss the interactions between experimental architecture and new media technologies and reveal their role in shaping our interactions with the urban environment. The symposium will feature architects and artists who participated in the original expo, historians and theorists concerned with our understanding of how seemingly fleeting spectacles - like the fantastical architecture of world’s fairs, the seductions of new gadgets and the euphoria of imagining future utopias - determine the expectations we make of the present in both significant and enduring ways.  The symposium will conclude with contemporary designers who continue to explore the intersections of architecture, media and the development of global culture.

The Critical Moment: Architecture in the Expanded Field
Thursday, September 15, 2011

Cooper Union
The Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Gallery

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.
