WHERE DO YOU STAND
CONFERENCE CO-CHAIRS
Anne Cormier, Université de Montréal
Annie Pedret, University of Illinois at Chicago
Alberto Pérez-Gómez, McGill University
CONFERENCE THEME
The New York Times architecture critic, Nicolai Ourousoff has described Toyo Ito’s work as being the “next step on the evolutionary
chain,” calling out Ito’s belief that to create a human architecture it
“must somehow embrace seemingly contradictory values.” Ourousoff suggests that “instead of a self-contained utopia, [Ito] offers us
multiple worlds, driving in and out of focus like a dream,” embraces
ambiguity, is interested in the realm of the “in between,” and “forces
us to look at the world through a wider lens.” Ito, like many architects
who came to prominence in the past decade, aims to expand possibilities and, in doing so, to make room for a wider range of human
experience.
This demand for a wider agenda for modern architecture, introduced
to the discipline in the 1950s and followed by Postmodernism’s
demands for greater diversity, has left the discipline open—wide
open—perhaps too open. Free from the universalist, utopian confines
of Modernism, and working in an intellectual context that embraces
a more complex conception of contemporary reality, architects are
now not only free, but required to interpret and, indeed, choose their
position relative to this expanded field. With such choice comes the
responsibility to ask: Where Do You Stand?
The purpose of this conference is to provide a venue to articulate,
develop, and question where you stand with respect to your thinking
and doing in architecture.
ACSA MISSION STATEMENT
To advance architectural education through support of member schools,
their faculty, and students. This support involves:
• Serving by encouraging dialogue among the diverse areas of discipline;
• Facilitating teaching, research, scholarly and creative works, through
intra/interdisciplinary activity;
• Articulating the critical issues forming the context of architectural
education
• Fostering public awareness of architectural education and issues of
importance
This advancement shall be implemented through five primary means:
advocacy, annual program activities, liaison with collateral organiztions,
dissemination of information and response to the needs of member
schools in order to enhance the quality of life in a global society.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE AUGUST 1, 2011
Beginnings produce a discontinuity with the past and the
present, and a contingent authority that limits and enables.
This call for papers, for the second issue of the JAE
ACSA100 volume, seeks scholarship that considers the
fraught optimism of the start up, in the broadest sense of
the term. We invite authors to submit scholarship of design
and design as scholarship manuscripts that engage the
notion of the beginning, and welcome work from a broad
range of perspectives, including historiography, criticism,
education, representation, fabrication, technology, and
design practice. For author instructions, please consult:

ARCHITECTURE’S RESPONSIVE EXTENSIONS
Mont-Royal
Paper Session
Moderator: Kathy Velikov, University of Michigan
In the 1960s a growing consciousness of the extended ecological interrelationships between media, humans, and buildings was being
explored by a various thinkers: Marshall McLuhan was exploring the
psychic and social consequences of human beings’ technological extensions – from the spoken word, to print media, clothing, vehicles,
and houses; the London-based cybernetitian, Gordon Pask was consulting on Price’s “Fun Palace” and developing ideas and prototypes
for how humans, devices, and their shared environments might be
able to coexist in mutually constructive relationships; Reyner Banham and Henri Lefebvre were both describing ideas of the house,
imaginarily stripped of its material solidity to reveal itself as a nexus
of streams of energy, services, information and environmental mediation apparatus.

CRITICAL PEDAGOGIES: ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION AFTER 1968
Paper Session
Côte-St-Luc
Moderators: Colin Ripley, Ryerson University
Marco Louis Polo, Ryerson University
There is extensive literature devoted to the political dimension of the
upheavals of 1968, but there is a limited and fragmentary record of
their impact on architectural education, although they have profoundly
influenced subsequent attitudes toward architecture and urban planning that are still felt today. The papers in this session explore some
of the educational reforms emerging in the aftermath of the events of
1968 in an effort to better understand their implications for contemporary architectural education and praxis.

ARCHITECTURE AS A PERFORMING ART (1)
Hampstead
Paper Session
Moderator: Gray Read, Florida International University
Urban life has long been compared to performance, as an on-going
drama. Theatre offers a creative window into the humanity of architectural design - the interaction of people and place. This panel considers
how performance can give voice to architecture, revealing its role in
the city through stories and spatial movement. Papers describe
performances that comment on architecture as well as collaborations
between students of architecture and theatre that open new territory
for creative experimentation in the space between design and action.

WATER
Mont-Royal
Paper Session
Moderator: Colin Ripley, Ryerson University
Water, in all its forms, has continually been a dominant factor in the
development of human inhabitations. However, if climate change
predictions are realized, the coming decades will see abrupt
changes to long-stable water systems. In one nightmare scenario,
melting glaciers will both raise sea-water levels, inundating cities, while simultaneously eliminating potable water sources for
millions of people. This session investigates architecture’s role in
coming to terms with, opposing, or simply identifying and documenting changes to our water systems.

INTEGRATED METHODOLOGIES IN PRACTICE - WHAT EDUCATORS

Lasalle
Moderator: Daniel Friedman, University of Washington
Participants: Phillip Bernstein, Yale University
Renee Cheng, University of Minnesota
Carrie Sturts Dossick, University of Washington
For nearly a decade the profession has engaged problems related to
the emergence of information and virtual construction technologies
that effectively transform the dynamics of the production and performance of buildings. The best use of these tools and technologies
remains the subject of continuing debate and speculation; notwithstanding, the AEC industry is adopting them apace, with increasingly
newsworthy results. This session will explore the educational implications of integrated methodologies—design, practice, and project
delivery—including and especially the use of tools that foster greater
convergence and collaboration among the primary agents of building
production earlier in the design process. Panelists will report from
diverse perspectives on emerging digital technologies, industry trends,
and collaborative paradigms for architectural pedagogy.

WHERE DO YOU STAND? WHAT IF I AM ON THE MOVE? (1)
Paper Session
Côte-St-Luc
Moderator: Arijit Sen, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Much of the scholarship dealing with the production and experience
of the built environment refers to the “sense of place.” Place-making
conceived of in this way is tethered to a particular location and its
grounded qualities. Place posits architecture as a site of human
activities and imagination. The term suggests that because a sense
of place is rooted in particular geography, culture, and lives, “places”
are unique. Yet much of our contemporary world is on the move.
People, goods, money and ideas flow incessantly across and between
geographies and cultures. This movement of bodies, things and capital
destabilizes our relationship to place.
Travel –bodies on the move – changes how we perceive the physical
world. Contemporary social-cultural anthropologist Arjun Appadurai
describes instability generated by this kind of mobility by perceiving a
world made of scapes or flows of people, money, images, technologies,
and ideas. This session examines how mobility informs and transforms
ways by which we map, remember and organize places.

ARCHITECTURE AS A PERFORMING ART (2)
Hampstead
Paper Session
Moderators: Gray Read, Florida International University
Urban life has long been compared to performance, as an on-going
drama that is human, vulnerable and fleeting. This panel demonstrates how architecture defines urban events that recast the city
and its citizens as dramatic narratives. Papers describe buildings
that define positions for seeing and for being seen, inviting people to
participate in spontaneous dramas that suddenly turn to reflect on
themselves. Architectural moments of self-awareness reveal the
collusion between art and life, performance and the city.

ARCHITECTURE’S EXPANDED TERRITORIES
Mont-Royal
Paper Session
Moderators: Lola Sheppard, University of Waterloo
Mason White, University of Toronto
In Rosalind Krauss’s 1979 essay “Sculpture in the Expanded Field,”
Krauss observed that the practice of sculpture had been obscured
and could only qualify itself in opposition to architecture and landscape. Krauss identifies three additional practices of sculpture that
sculpture had previously been burdened with and names them “siteconstruction,” marked sites,” and “axiomatic structures.” Taking up
a similar cause in 2004, Anthony Vidler offered emergent practices
for “Architectures Expanded Field,” by arguing that “underlying the
new architectural experimentation is a serious attempt to reconstrue
the foundations of the discipline, not so much in singular terms, but
in broader concepts that acknowledge an expanded field, while seeking to overcome the problematic dualisms that have plagued architecture for over a century: form and function, historicism and abstraction, utopia and reality, structure and enclosure.”

world. Human geographer, Tim Cresswell theorizes that material,
human and capital forms of mobility influence cultural values and
practices. This session examines how mobility impacts the way we
build homes and locate ourselves in this world.

ENERGY AS A SPATIAL PROJECT
Mont-Royal
Moderator: Rania Ghosn, Boston University
The creation of value in energy regimes has long internalized benefits
to urban centers and externalized costs to the periphery and invisible.
Whether from a historical, contemporary, or speculative perspective,
the papers examine the spatial conditions of energy systems in an
attempt to locate design’s agency in relation to debates on technology, politics, nature, organization, and scale. The panel addresses the
question: What potentialities do practices of architecture, urbanism,
and landscape carry in embodying “alternative” energy spatialities?

Paper Session

While architects are infamous abusers of the term crisis, there can
be little doubt we are in one today. Despite the fact that our ecological predicament has inspired designers to focus more attention
on the social good, it has also produced a seemingly inescapable
strain of pragmatism within the profession. Add to that the collapse of the financial system and what you have is a recipe for either blatant instrumentality on one hand, or unbridled escapism on
the other. Under these circumstances technology is either blamed
for the damage wrought upon the environment or touted as a cureall for it. From this polarizing position there is little ground for
productive exchange regarding the relationship between technology and human agency. Computational architects are rarely seen
kibitzing at the water cooler with those who teach the history of the
Renaissance. Yet this conversation seems increasingly necessary
if we are to reformulate the ethical implications of architecture in
the twenty first century.

Paula Palombo, Extension Gallery, Chicago
Elva Rubio, University of Illinois at Chicago
This panel is a report from the discipline of architecture of practices
that knead, stretch, twist, disrupt, or rupture the field as we know it,
creating what Roslind Krauss described as the “expanded field” in her
essay about postmodern sculpture in 1985. In particular, this session
examines practices that create new sets of possibilities while remaining rooted in the conditions and “given logical spaces” of the very
field they are restructuring. This panel cuts curatorial, pedagogical,
professional, discursive, and institutional sections through the field
of architecture to examine the differently structured possibilities that
may be emerging at this periphery. Panelists will make short introductory statements about the intentions, methods, and motivations of
their practices, and state the possibilities they perceive to be unfolding
within this expanded field from their very particular, but expansively
engaged vantage points.

Lachine
Moderator: Anne Cormier, Université de Montréal

Louis Martin, Université du Québec à Montréal
Denis Bilodeau, Université de Montréal
Jacques Lachapelle, Université de Montréal
Can we judge by design? What is judging in the context of heritage
conservation? How do we judge by precedents in the studio? Is theorizing judging? This panel discussion offers an opportunity to evaluate
the role of judgment in architectural practice, pedagogy and criticism.
Short presentations of current research work conducted by four
scholars, all members of the Laboratoire d’étude de l’architecture potentielle (L.E.A.P) at the Université de Montréal will initiate an informal
conversation on the legacy of late Peter Collins’seminal work on “Architectural Judgement”(1971) which, in spite of its specific viewpoint,
has been barely challenged in contemporary architectural discourse.
As the L.E.A.P lab is one of the rare research teams specialized on
the study of architectural competitions, the discussion will inevitably
raise significant issues related to improving the jury’s deliberation
process within a context of the architectural competition, as well as
the need to archive and digitalize what can be termed the “potential
architecture” of non-built projects. Both these issues take a special
significance in our current virtual-oriented cultures.

ARCHITECTURE IN AN AGE OF UNCERTAINTY
Mont-Royal
Paper Session
This session invites papers proposing divergent directions for architecture in light of the present economic instability. Papers that thoughtfully critique the professional and disciplinary conditions nurtured in
the past twenty years of illusory and lopsided prosperity and suggest
new directions for the field are also welcome. The crumbling of gilded
ages in the past afforded architecture a moment of self-reflection; this
panel seeks answers to the question of just what architecture could
be like in this present age of uncertainty.

AFTER TEXT: POST-LINGUISTIC PARADIGMS FOR ARCHITECTURE
Paper Session
Mont-Royal
Moderator: Jon Yoder, Syracuse University
As architecture emerges from the Postmodern period in which
linguistic models and analogies infamously dominated design and
theory, other cultural forces are asserting themselves. Indeed, contemporary architectural culture is composed of diverse agendas that
posit potentially productive alternatives to the linguistic paradigms
of the past decades. This session specifically explores the implications of disruptive ecologies, critical realism, projective materialities, and hegemonic scientism for the field of architecture after
textuality and in the welcome presence of multiple paradigms. As

HYBRIDIZED PRACTICES: BOTH THE ANALOG AND THE DIGITAL
Paper Session
Hampstead
Moderators: Francis Lyn, Florida Atlantic University
Ron Dulaney Jr., West Virginia University
Nearly thirty years after the introduction of computational technologies into architectural production, the roles that hand drawing
and digital media should have in practice and education are still
contentiously debated. Enabled by digital media, architects are developing new design paradigms after centuries of disciplinary tradition and inertia founded in methods of hand drawing – especially
those associated with orthographic projection. Yet hand drawing
persists. Sketching continues to be valued by both academics and
practitioners, and hand drafting continues to be practiced regularly in the academy. With the possibility of hindsight and a developed facility of both media, perhaps now is an opportune moment
to assess how these media affect and define architecture’s unique
disciplinarity. Can suppositions about media be validated or discredited? Does hand drawing better enable ambiguity, a condition
often viewed as a necessary during the process of design? How
does the discipline respond to the diversity of media available to it?
How does this diversity of media affect the work produced and the
way architecture is practiced?

Paper Session
Moderator: S. Faisal Hassan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Just as neither Rome nor cathedrals were built in a day, personal
edification—the pedagogical practice of ornamenting one’s mind—
was considered incremental and deliberate, occupying the span
of one’s life. As a result, traditional meanings (or more precisely,
the uses) of ornamental “style” in personal manners and design
may appear unfamiliar to our backward glance. Renaissance humanists of the late fifteenth century believed personal habits to
influence social relations and, by extension, the urbane fabric of
buildings and the city. Ornamental style was not evaluated by such
historicizing categories as baroque, modernist, or postmodern;
rather, architectural ornament offered provisions for thought, supplying the imagination with rhetorical figures of expression. While
ancient Greeks were mindful of kairos (occasion), Romans were
keenly aware of decorum, by which the figures and ornaments of
an oration were tuned to a specific audience in a selected setting
for a particular occasion. If thoughts are birds, as Socrates and
many others have held, where would they perch?

“Beyond Precedent,” the issue 64:2 (March 2011) of the Journal of
Architectural Education, is dedicated to the subject of interrogating and
re-conceiving the relationship between history and design. The issue’s
co-editors called for papers that proposed and analyzed progressive
methods and goals for the integration of architectural history in the
professional architecture curriculum and practice. Looming large
in many of the submissions was the debate between Bruno Zevi and
Manfredo Tafuri, between operative history and criticism and a notion of history as an autonomous discipline. This panel will discuss
the question of how designers and historians can cultivate a more
meaningful connection to the past in order to move beyond it.

Paper Session
Moderators: Charles Bertolini, Louisiana State University

World capitalist economies alternate between expansion and contraction. Architecture, traditionally “systolic,” also fantasizes about its own
collapse. Contraction, (dis)embodied in “marginal” projects as well
as the rhetoric of survival and sustainability, re-enact architecture’s
primitive relations to death and sacrifice. This session explores the
historic, contemporary, subjective and objective aspects of architecture, when it’s time to put architecture “back in the box.”

Paper Session
Moderator: Rumiko Handa, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
For some time now architects have operated with the notion that the
building is finished when the construction is complete. Similarly, architectural criticism often focuses on the architect’s intention and
how it has been met by design and execution, while architectural
history explains a building through the sociocultural context of the
original construction. With sustainable design we now seem willing to examine our work based on its performance. We may also be
ready to conceive architecture from the viewpoint of participatory interpretation, in which architecture is a way for the viewers and inhabitants to gain an understanding of the world and the self. Four papers
represent the wide range of possibilities in epistemology, pedagogy
and design practice, and demonstrate transdisciplinary approaches
incorporating philosophy, liberal arts and cultural geography.

HISTORICAL CHAPTER 1:
Architectural Education before 1860, Dell Upton
...Addressing the annual convention of the American Institute of Architects in the early 1880s, president Thomas U.
Walter complained that “a large portion of the field is occupied by uneducated, unskilled, and immature practitioners,
whose only passport to the patronage of the Public is the
assumption of the appellation Architect.” Walter called on
Institute members “to prevent, as far as practicable, empiricism in Architecture, by a wide diffusion of the principles
which constitute it a fine art, and by awakening an interest
in the sciences which underlie it. . . . He who attempts to
practice architecture without a general knowledge of the
elements of nature, and of the sciences which develop their
properties, and their purposes, and who has never had a
special training, in the office of an experienced practitioner
of the art, is not prepared to discharge the onerous duties of
an Architect whatever may be his scholastic acquirements,
or his mechanical skill.”
Walter recommended that aspiring architects prepare “by
First pursuing a course of Architectural training in a Technical college, embracing Mathematics, line drawing, to scale,
mechanical drawings, and linear perspective. – A foundation
thus laid, if well laid would be a proper preparation for entering an architect’s office as a student of the profession; he
would there find ample sources of information in art; ample
opportunities to practice in drawing, and incentives for devoting himself to the acquirement of an Architectural education, which, if thoroughly attained would eventually put
him in the front rank of the Profession.” Although nearly two
decades had passed since the first university-based architectural school had opened, Walter, a passionate advocate
of professionalization, offered a model of education similar
to his own nearly sixty years earlier, an education that had
enabled him, a bricklayer, to assume “the appellation Architect.”
Architectural education – or more precisely, architectural knowledge – was plentiful, varied, and widely available
before the establishment of the first collegiate schools of
architecture in the United States. This knowledge was disseminated in a limited number of ways that were accessible to everyone involved in building, whether they called
themselves builders or architects. Nevertheless, before 1860
architectural education was inseparable from evolving conceptions of architecture and the nature of design. The very
definition of the architect was in play...

Paper Session
Moderator: Magdalena Garmaz, Auburn University
The advances in architectural technology and material research in
the past decade, have given us an opportunity to re-examine Gottfried Semper’s belief that textiles were first architecture. While
Semper’s premise remains difficult to prove, it is clear that today,
textiles are playing significant role in our understanding of architecture as a complex material, structural and aesthetical system. Textiles are defined by their softness, pliability, warmth, layering, flexibility and adaptability; they suggest proximity to body, and necessity
for interaction– a dynamic, rather than static condition. Weaving
has been the most common production process associated with
textiles, and its adaptability to the digital technology is remarkable
-but felting, lace-making, and quilting are also finding their way into
the architectural application as well. The notion of craft embedded
into these processes highlights number of important questions for
contemporary designers –the ones of skill, individuality, machine/
hand relationship, values, and economy, to name just a few.

THE CITY IS DEAD - LONG LIVE THE CITY: DEVELOPING FUTURE
MODELS OF THE CITY
Côte-St-Luc
Paper Session
Moderator: Udo Greinacher, University of Cincinnati
According to Marc Angélil “The traditional City has come to an end.”
In Europe, the opposition of town and country that has defined the city
since its emergence four thousand years ago was challenged when
the razing of walls eroded the distinction between the space of culture and the space of nature. In the United States, sprawling polycentric and web-like settlement patterns have replaced the traditional
notion of the city as a historical and institutional core surrounded
first by suburbs and then by open countryside. In a time when infrastructures are becoming more important than structures, and the
flow of materials and information is becoming more significant than
static political and spatial boundaries, traditional planning methods
are unlikely to succeed. As the emphasis shifts away from the design
of enclosed objects, the design and manipulation of larger surfaces
will move to the forefront. What will replace the typical hierarchical
parameters of urban design: control, optimization, predictability, and
comprehensibility? Will urban space no longer be structured according to predefined rules but be treated as an evolving product catering
to diverse interest groups? Will new parameters such as adaptability, capacity for development, resistance, boundlessness, and novelty
become the new design mantra?

BRIDGING THE GAP: ARCHITECTURAL INTERNSHIPS IN PUBLIC
SERVICE
Lachine
Moderator: Georgia Bizios, North Carolina State University
Panelists: Thomas Fisher, University of Minnesota
Davis Perkes, Mississippi State University
John Quale, University of Virginia
Katie Wakeford, North Carolina State University
The architectural profession has a proud tradition of public service.
Unfortunately, the current levels of outreach and advocacy are insufficient in the face of problems such as the shortage of affordable housing,
destruction by natural disasters, and the environmental toll of our built
environment. There have been increased efforts at the university level
to prepare future architects for public engagement. Private firms are
also reinvesting themselves in public service. Yet while students participate in community-oriented studios or professionals provide service
to non-profits, there is a scarcity of internship opportunities outside
of traditional practice modes. This gap between the academy and the
profession leaves civic-minded intern architects without the jobs they
would most desire. At the same time, the profession is shortchanged a
potential vehicle for outreach and our communities miss a rich source
of design expertise and productivity. The topic of this session is the
subject of an upcoming essay collection of the same title supported by
a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

THE ROGUE KING: NEW COMPUTATIONAL LANDSCAPES AND THE MODEL
Lachine
Moderator: Torben Berns, McGill University
Participants: Alberto Pérez-Gómez, McGill University
Antoine Picon, Harvard University
Arguably the architectural mode of knowledge is in fact building virtual
models for reconciling different if not mutually exclusive experiences,
Within the contemporary practice of architecture, are the arguments
of the last 30 years—the model as a 1:1 construction, the model as
concept, the model as process, the model as 1:x—sufficient means for
understanding what we in fact do as architects? How do we understand
and further what we do as both professionals and as citizens in the
new computational landscape, a landscape where the model is both
king and rogue?

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURALISM: DESIGN/THEORY/PRACTICE
Paper Session
Côte-St-Luc
Moderator: Clare Lyster, University of Illinois at Chicago
The emergence of infrastructure as a lens to address urbanism is
a double opportunity. First, to move beyond the legacy of the New
Deal era to re-position architecture’s role in the design and execution of public work and second to present the infrastructural project
as more than an issue-based practice that solves the city’s problems. The session seeks to find a more critical relationship between
architecture and infrastructure delivered through 3 papers that define “Critical Infrastructuralism” in architectural Design, Theory and
Practice.

Making and Craft- As BIM, fabrication, and parametric modeling have
become mainstream tools, we must question the standards established for their evaluation. This session asks the questions: How do
we take ownership of the digital tools used in service of process and
invention? To what extent are we willing to claim our designs are defined by these tools? How do these technologies fundamentally change
our design expectations? This session will question our understanding
of conventional construction processes to better understand the use
of digital manufacturing equipment.

THE QUEST FOR PERFECTION: REAL, SUPER-REAL, OR SURREAL?
Paper Session
Verdun
Moderators: Gregory Marinic, Universidad de Monterrey
Illya Azaroff, CUNY, New York City College of Technology
In our technologically-enhanced world, digital images of built
projects can be indistinguishable from virtual representations.
Advanced imaging technologies have made it increasingly difficult
to distinguish between the physical world and lifelike virtual representation. Real projects have become surreal; virtual projects
have become super-real. Dialing in further, one must look carefully
for imperfection.Regardless of the technique employed, recording
architecture has historically been linked to a quest for perfection.
Variables such as quality of light, time of year, choice of photographer, lens type, film speed, and retouching offered the ability to
subtly or significantly adjust the reading of a project. Historically,
these techniques were both money-intensive and time-conscious.
Today they are less so. Thus, a disquieting amount of built work
presented in publications, portfolios, and for marketing purposes
is, in fact, super-enhanced. Architectural visualization has become
hyper-refined – partly real and partially idealized. In an architecture that blurs reality, where do you stand?

Moderator: Keith Diaz Moore, University of Kansas
Participants: Sherry Ahrentzen, Arizona State University
Tom Fisher, University of Minnesota
Alberto Perez-Gomez, McGill University
The perspectives that shape architectural inquiry are informed by
the underlying ethical positions of those engaged in the inquiry. In so
doing, these ethical postures inform fundamental questions such as:
What is the purpose of the inquiry?; How does one define concepts
such as validity?; Why is the resulting understanding worthwhile?
The context within which research is conducted applies potential
pressures upon certain ethical positions, and those pressures may at
times conflict and at others facilitate. Three distinguished panelists,
all of whom have discussed extensively issues of architecture and
ethics, will share their thoughts on the relationship between ethics
and architectural research, creating a foundation upon which session attendees will build their discussion. The session is designed
to stimulate dialogue and reflection amongst all those attending.

BELOW THE RADAR: INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS AND DISCIPLINARY
REVERSALS
Côte-St-Luc
Paper Session
Moderator: Fernando Lara, University of Texas at Austin
Approximately 2 billion people—30% of the world’s population—live in
substandard housing. Being so much different from the systematized
processes of planning in the developed world, informal settlements
are often demonized by some who look only at the numbers or romanticized by those who look only at photographs. This session asks
what can we learn from the favelas of the world? What could be the
design contribution of a process in which the materials arrive at the
construction site before any spatial abstraction has been conceived?

CRITICAL CONTEXTUALISM OR, OTHERS?
Verdun
Paper Session
Moderator: Georges Adamczyk, Université de Montréal
“The landscape is as a palimpsest on to which each generation inscribes its own impressions and removes some of the marks of earlier generations. Construction of one age are often overlain, modified
or erased by the work of another.” - Michael Aston and Trevor Rowley, Landscape Archeology, 1974. In the last quarter of the last century questions of site, region, city, urban architecture, ‘’Pièce urbaine’’,
to mention a few, have emerged as grounded counter-propositions
to the postwar wave II of mediocre functionalist autonomous buildings. The idea of context, while sometimes reduced to poor imitation
of form, was much of the time taken as a critical approach of the
geography, history and cultural meaning of a specific place. It was
certainly an important question for the definition of the architect’s
position in the field of the discipline.Today, a predilection for engineering considerations pertaining to sustainability and for branding,
are out-distancing context as the ethical issue of choice by architects
and the academy alike. What happened to Critical Contextualism in
Architecture? Can Indifference be critical? Are there other positions?

MIT PRESS
The only university press in the United States whose list is based in science and technology. This does not mean that science and engineering
are all we publish, but it does mean that we are committed to the edges
and frontiers of the world—to exploring new fields and new modes of
inquiry. We publish about 200 new books a year and over 30 journals.
We are a major publishing presence in fields as diverse as architecture,
social theory, economics, cognitive science, and computational science,
and we have a long-term commitment to both design excellence and
the efficient and creative use of new technologies. Our goal is to create
books and journals that are challenging, creative, attractive, and yet
affordable to individual readers.

TAU SIGMA DELTA
Tau Sigma Delta was organized in 1913 at the University of Michigan at
the suggestion and guidance of the faculty in Architecture and Landscape
Design who selected the first group of senior honor students to be the
founding members. After three years of trial, the system of elections was
extended to other universities. Tau Sigma Delta has developed from a
senior honor society in Architecture and Landscape Architecture to become inclusive of both juniors and seniors in Architecture, Architectural
Engineering, Architectural Design, Landscape Architecture, Painting,
Sculpturing, Planning, Decorative Design, Interior Decoration, and all the
arts allied with Architecture. With that development, it became necessary
to establish the rule that each chapter shall have its origin in a School
of Architecture and be administered by that school

ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION SERIES
ACSA conference papers get a second life in
this series of thematic readers for use across the
curriculum in architecture and design programs
THE GREEN BRAID
Edited by Kim Tanzer and Rafael Longoria
The first reader provides a primer on sustainability, placing
sustainability at the center of excellent architectural design.
No other volume addresses sustainability within the context
of architectural history, theory, pedagogy, and design, making this book an ideal source for architects in framing their
practices, and therefore their architectural production, in a
sustainable manner.
WRITING URBANISM
Edited by Douglas Kelbaugh & Kit Krankel McCullough
The second reader asks how cities can become more coherent, sustainable, authentic, equitable, aesthetically compelling and, culturally meaningful. Essays probe such issues
as community, social equity, design theory, technology, and
globalism. Including some of the most significant texts on
urban design from the last two decades, Writing Urbanism
offers a multifaceted portrait of urban design today.
