Lecture Series

This summer, as part of our special issue "Provisions // Observing & Archiving COVID-19", The Site Magazine will host its first online event series with The Architecture Foundation, Critical Distance, BEAT, and Triennale Milano.

The lecture series "​Architecture and the City in the Post-Industrial Age​" is organized to commemorate Kengo Kuma's 11 years of his professorship at the University of Tokyo Department of Architecture and the retirement from the school in 2020 March. Each lecture session invites leading figures in various fields not limited to architecture. Nine sessions have been held between April 2019 and February 2020. The final session which was postponed due to COVID-19 will be held online on July 18th.

These days architecture schools are trying to figure out how to conduct lectures and seminars, studios and crits online. But it is just as well a test of the very foundations of architectural education. Do we need architecture schools? Do we need them to change? Are they capable of change, to prepare to deal with this crisis and the next to come?

IE School of Architecture and Design and ArchDaily would like to invite you to join this outstanding online master class led by Joy Yoon, the former Studio Director of the Adidas Brooklyn Creator Farm as she discusses how to grow within a creative community, failing on purpose, and learning how and who to trust.

Tales from the Altiplano is a series of live Instagram talks with Andrew Kovacs, Delphine Blast, Manuel Seoane, Patricio Crooker and many more. We will be questioning how architecture is seen as a means of reclaiming a cultural identity. How in this informal Bolivian context can we construct a new way to approach architecture. The AAVS El Alto explores the Altiplano as an example to counteract a certain gentrifying flatness of today’s architecture- providing an opportunity to describe singularities and sub-cultures, through iconographic and architectural strategies. In these unsettling times, our Programme has been suspended in response to the current health crisis. However, this series will keep alive the conversation about architecture and urbanism with artists, researchers, and young Architects and Designers.

Please join us for the last in the SCIAME Zoom Lecture Series, “Climate Justice” with Denise Hoffman Brandt, Associate Professor and Graduate Landscape Architecture Program Director, as she presents, “Petri Dish: a study of the forces shaping our viral landscape” on April 23rd @5:30PM.

In this course, we will walk you through the parametric modeling features that Revit Architecture has to offer. Revit Architecture by Autodesk is one of the leading applications in the industry for Building Information Modelling and is reshaping the way we design and build. The ability to create smart 3d models, where each object has attributes that collectively create a robust database for coordinating and extracting information, is one of the most relevant skills any designer should learn today. After this course, you will know the basics of Revit Architecture, and you will feel confident to start creating your BIM models and retrieve information for your presentations.

Permutable Morphologies is a Parametric Certification webinar Course that focuses on designing forms by means of algorithms. The course is based on understanding the process of building shape, translating a standard 3D modelling process into grasshopper vocabulary and then automating it to interpolate infinite design iterations as solutions while documenting design problems for further use.

The lecture will briefly explore five questions that highlight the work of the architectural firm founded by George Baird in the late 60's. Renamed Baird Sampson Architects when Barry Sampson became a partner in 1981 and Baird Sampson Neuert architects, when Jon Neuert became a principal in 1998, the firm has been in continuous practice for half a century. Each question encapsulates concerns pertinent to the evolution of the firm's interests and challenges over the decades.

This lecture is being led by Adamo-Faiden which is an architectural firm established in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Whose practice extends to the field of teaching and research, and has been internationally recognized by different media and institutions, talk about how the realm of finance and risk management involves the identification, analysis, and mitigation of uncertainty, all of which are necessary for, and inseparable from financial return and performance. The speakers also go over and explore different topics/questions on How can architecture become an instrument of risk management, capable of wielding influence over economics and politics rather than being at the whim of both? And how a discipline that has traditionally been thought of in material and cultural terms be reconsidered in financial and socioeconomic ones?

Start Time: 6:00pm
End Time: 7:00pm
