Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation is pleased to announce the inaugural conference dedicated to the preservation of modernist architecture in the Uzbek capital. The conference, titled Where in the World Is Tashkent, will be held on October 18-19, 2023, as part of the Tashkent Modernism XX/XXI research and preservation project. The event will be dedicated to the memory of architect and historian Jean-Louis Cohen (1949–2023), who was an important contributor to this project.

Join us for the final Dean’s Lecture for 2023 with landscape architects Chloe and Michael Humphreys, founders of The Landscape Studio. Their unique approach is driven by careful observation and an in-depth understanding of the wider landscape. In this lecture they will present key projects in Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya that showcase their innovative process, with design solutions that aim to improve the biodiversity and sustainability of their project sites.

This October 12-18, NYCxDESIGN will present Design Pavilion, New York's premier public design exhibition, for another year of experiential installations that engage, inform and inspire. Taking place during Archtober - New York’s month-long celebration of architecture - this year’s edition of Design Pavilion will feature three activations by creative visionaries from multiple disciplines that evoke motifs of materiality, sustainability, social justice, and more. Two built installations, Bamboo Cloud at Pier 57 and Public Display at Gansevoort Plaza, will act as ‘urban oases’ for passersby as well as temporary forums designed to inspire community gathering, productive conversation, and personal reflection. The third exhibition, I Was Here, will be a digital art projection on the World Trade Center Podium, a bold statement reflecting on our country’s legacy of enslavement and the wish to heal wounded sites.

Join us to open Generation Proxima: Emerging Environmental Practices in Portuguese Architecture. The exhibition provides an environmentally-oriented overview of emerging architectural practices in Portugal.

Join acclaimed Canadian architect Bruce Kuwabara as he discusses the influence of professor emeritus and former Daniels Faculty dean George Baird (by whom he was taught and for whom he once worked) on his approach to architecture and the public realm and on how it has informed the practice and work of KPMB Architects, the firm Kuwabara co-founded in the 1980s. In his lecture, Kuwabara will present KPMB buildings and projects that demonstrate how architecture contributes to the formation and vibrancy of the city while addressing the most pressing issues of our time, including climate change, affordability, mental health and reconciliation.

Co-edited by Christina E. Crawford, the Daniels Faculty’s Claire Zimmerman and the late Jean-Louis Cohen, the recently published book Detroit-Moscow-Detroit: An Architecture for Industrialization, 1917-1945 examines spatial development, manufacturing, mass production and organizational planning across geopolitical lines in the 20th Century, exploring how capitalist and communist built environments were co-produced in a period of intense technical exchange. Also among its contributors, Crawford and Zimmerman will be in attendance to discuss their participation in the book as well as selected themes. The event is dedicated to the memory of fellow contributor Jean-Louis Cohen.

David Miller, mayor of Toronto from 2003 to 2010 and Managing Director of C40 Cities Center for City Climate Policy and Economy, and Jorge Pérez de Leza, the CEO of Metrovacesa, will engage in a discussion about the creative industries and their impact on city making, emphasising themes of inclusion, arts, residents engagement, and creative use of IT.

Assembled from the private collection of Singapore-based RT+Q Architects, this exhibition showcasing the buildings of Le Corbusier (1887-1965) features dozens of scaled models of the iconic Swiss-French architect’s work. Through the years, it has been a tradition at RT+Q for interns to spend their first week studying and building a model of a Le Corbusier project, the aim being to acquaint them with his diverse design legacy. This exhibition will run in the LWR Gallery until November 17.

We aim to translate our research findings into applications through design studies and artworks. The goal of the residency is to explore new ways in which to apply our research results for creative expression. Specifically, we aim to collaboratively create an art piece or design prototype that will be exhibited and publicized in appropriate venues. The residency at GCM can last for up to three months starting in March 2024 at the earliest.
