Join The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture for Plant Potential, an online conference that brings together an architect, a theorist, a scientist, an urban gardener, and an artist for a collective exploration of our relationship with plant life. Their investigative and creative initiatives vary in scope and character but all aim at helping human communities to reconnect with the ecological, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of the environment by embracing the nurturing potential of plants as food, material resource, environment makers, companions, and teachers.

Internationally acclaimed architect Chad Oppenheim, editor of Lair: Radical Homes and Hideouts of Movie Villains, examines the compelling and seductive abodes of movie villains. The villain’s lair is much more than where the megalomaniac goes to get some rest. Instead, the homes of the villains are places where evil is plotted and where, often, the hero is tested and must prove him/herself. In Lair, readers are invited to explore the architecture of villainy through rich content that includes in-depth visual and written material and a striking graphic design that features silver ink on black paper.








Join us online or in person at Building 14, Nolan Park, Governors Island, New York, on Friday 29th October where we present a new material and a new approach to making public spaces and buildings based on the FIELD Project, followed by a panel discussion on their possibilities in the built and green spaces of New York, voiced by leading institutions working on climate justice and social resiliency in the city.
