Checkout the latest edition of the e-SPAN Newsletter on the SOA Page. In this issue of e-SPAN, we talk to the student organizers of the 2024 AIAS Northeast Quad Conference, "DES[AI]GN: Artificial Intelligence in Architecture,” which took place from October 31 to November 2 at CMU. We preview some upcoming course offerings related to artificial intelligence and share news about the 2024 Fall Awards cycle, which saw exciting proposals from students and faculty for their research and travel activities. And we catch up with the Master of Urban Design students to learn about their field trip to the Sweet Water Foundation in Chicago, where the group was hosted by Emmanuel Pratt, the inaugural Watson Chair in Architecture at Carnegie Mellon Architecture. https://lnkd.in/gCykJe2H

In my opinion this design reflects embodying excellence in creativity, sustainability, and community impact, which are crucial aspects in today's society. Overall, this design can underscore the significance of innovation, environmental consciousness, and social responsibility. #DesignExcellence #CreativityInnovation #SustainabilityImpact #CommunityEngagement #EnvironmentalResponsibility #SocialResponsibility #DesignForChange #InnovationInDesign #SustainableDesign #CommunityImpact #DesignEthics #DesignForGood #GreenDesign #SociallyResponsibleDesign

“What should architecture schools, most of whom depend upon part-time educators, do to address the tremendous gap in the job security and pay between their tenured faculty and adjuncts?”⁠ ⁠ In their latest article with The Architect's Newspaper, professors Peggy Deamer and Tom Fisher share their insights. ⁠ ⁠ Visit https://lnkd.in/gpF-x4ut to read the full column. ⁠ ⁠ P.S. Check out The Organizer’s Guide to Architecture Education (Routledge, 2024), co-written by Deamer, for an architectural way of looking at these problems at different scales.⁠ ⁠ #ArchitecturalEducation #News #Faculty #HigherEd #HigherEdNews #EducationNews

(Re)Publication Day 📗 🎉 Check out "Critical Computational Relations in Design, Architecture and the Built Environment", co-edited with Vernelle A. A. Noel Ph.D. ⌨️ https://lnkd.in/d8758Nub This book delves into the power relations between computational practices, technology infrastructures, knowledge, and their reproductions of bias in design at multiple scales. It provides critical perspectives and insights on how computation intersects with architecture, design, the built environment, and society. The six contributions to this volume by Selena Savic, Michael Hasey, Jinmo Rhee, Daniel Cardoso Llach, Esther Dessewffy, Andrea Schikowitz, Sarah R. Davies, Yi-Chin Lee, Maja-Lee Voigt, Mine Ozkar provide critical perspectives and insights on how computation intersects with architecture, design, the built environment, and society. The chapters in this book were originally published in Digital Creativity: https://lnkd.in/duQRMMpi Cluster of Excellence IntCDC | University of Stuttgart #criticalcomputation #STS #datastudies #architecture #urbanstudies #society

This Friday, September 27, a public conference hosted by GSAPP’s Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture, approaches the question: WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ENTITY WE CALL “THE STATE” AND THE BUILD ENVIRONMENT? To reframe this question, this one-day conference draws from recent literature that has challenged the conception of the state as an autonomous monolith that exerts uniform power on the world around it. What does it mean to understand the state, instead, as an entity that gains its coherence from its effects? How can architecture, understood as a state effect, help re-conceptualize the state as a central conceit in modernity? Invited speakers include: Cole Roskam (HKU), Daniel Abramson (BU), Sophie Cras (Paris 1), Yara Saqfalhait (GSAPP), Sheila Crane (UVA), Sonali Dhanpal (GSAPP), Brodwyn Fischer (UChicago), Brian Larkin (Barnard, Columbia), Bruno Carvalho (Harvard) STATE EFFECTS is open to the public, but RSVP is required for non-Columbia affiliates. To attend in person, please email: buellcenter@columbia.edu by Wednesday September 25 to reserve your spot.

The future of #highereducation design is all about empowering people—students, faculty, and staff alike—to thrive. In Trends Shaping Higher Education Design in 2025 and Beyond, Ed Stand shares key takeaways from HLW's Education Roundtables. These sessions brought together insights from thought leaders at Cornell University, Rowan University, Montclair State University, Rutgers University, and New Jersey Institute of Technology.   Explore a snippet from the discussion and dive deeper into the blog here: https://lnkd.in/esmiDFNE #HLW #HigherEd #Architecture #CampusDesign #StudentLife #CampusPlanning

Looking for understanding better employability and the practitioners' perspective regarding the architecture discipline? This article is for you! It questions our current teaching model and, most importantly, shows that practitioners are concerned with the prevailing individualistic approach to the higher education system and traditional architectural teaching methods, instead suggesting a more industry-aligned collaborative disposition. To know more around that topic, follow the publications of Sebastian Smith, current PhD at Griffith University. Smith, S., Dupré, K., Crough, J. (2023) Beyond the hard and soft skills paradigm: an Australian architecture industry perspective on employability and the university/practice divide, Higher Education, Skills and Work-Based Learning 10.1108/HESWBL-07-2023-0197

XQ and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching are deeply motivated to rethink, redesign, and realize new and effective ways to improve high schools and build a new educational architecture. #RethinkHighSchool
