This text examines the scholarship created by the collective Environmental Communications about Los Angeles in the late 1960s and 70s. Formed by a group of young architects, photographers, and filmmakers, the collective published slide collections with images of the “integrated city” and pursued their goal of subverting the pedagogical model of architectural schools. EC’s standards encompassed a broad

This paper demonstrates how the built can bring together seemingly disparate debates in architectural and urban research by examining Shakespeare’s Globe. It suggests a reconceptualization of the Globe, a structure well studied in Shakespearean scholarship, as one of the first cultural institutions to be proposed on the Thames Bankside. The Globe’s prolonged planning and building delay, between 1970

The traditional wood framed house has been a mainstay of the building industry and a dominant force on the American cultural landscape. With rare exceptions, its enormous effectiveness has seldom led to a serious questioning and challenging of what it means ‘to build’. The act of building should be a reflective act, one that recognizes repercussions and limitations. One architect whose methodology

We explore the responsibilities of the architect and educator in rediscovering the materiality of a territory. The redesign experience of a small building situated at the entrance of an abandoned mining site in Italy from the 1930s serves as a vehicle to reflect on architecture’s relevancy in reestablishing the primacy of the artifact and its empirical intelligence. Against the background of contemporary

Stacked-Plate Framing takes a projective stance on conventional American construction. By challenging the exclusionary lens of the timeworn axiom “Cheap, Fast, or Good,” a pragmatic and optimistic approach to vernacular building emerges. Stacked-Plate Framing uses off-the-shelf materials and deploys unskilled labor to elaborate an expedient, novel, and simple architectural response to two structures

In pursuit of a broader disciplinary understanding of the building site as a social artifact, this experimental seminar undertook the design of prototypical approaches to the representation of historical building sites. To recover the event of building that makes possible, and is superseded by, the built requires novel means of interpreting and representing as a composite whole what existed as a momentary

Architecture is a synthetic form of cultural production, one which weaves together social, aesthetic and functional agendas and has impacts at the scale of the individual and at the scale of the city. Through an opportunistic approach open to constraints and nimble to forms of expression, tailored interventions and a socially focused agenda, designers can have and can create social and cultural agency

The premise of a design-build studio is that students engage directly in both the design and construction of full-scale prototypes, leading to a better understanding of how the act of design impacts the built environment. Furthermore, the collective commitment of participants working amidst a specific locale allows students to experience spatial transformation and contribute to meaningful social change

Digitization has proliferated in architectural education and practice in the last several decades. Highly intricate and complex geometries are possible due to increasing computational power, yet when built require processes that typically are incompatible with existing manufacturing and building practices. In this essay, the studio and research laboratory Automated Architecture (AUAR) argue for the

This article argues that speculation, risk, and failure are essential components of design-build education and are key factors in student learning. Current design-build pedagogy can be described as risk averse as programs actively work to mitigate risk and avoid failure. This not only minimizes opportunities to speculate and learn through trial and error, but also resists teaching strategies typically

This paper positions three projects as intertwined extensions of the greater lifecycle of wood in construction. We consider each piece of wood we engage part of an ecosystem, and our use and application of those pieces a fleeting sequestration of a material. Whether repurposed lumber on a selected site, material deposited in a particular area, or a sacrificial matrix for future growth, the wood we

In 1981, Tom Wolfe offered an answer to a question posed by this special issue of JAE: what is the value of the built work of architects in the academy? How do architecture schools, or “compounds” as Wolfe called them, value those faculty who collaborate with clients, consultants, and contractors to get designs built? Describing the rise of theorists over practitioners in postwar schools, Wolfe argued:

This article considers how solar energy discourse in the 1970s othered rural bodies in India. In the 1970s, proponents of solar energy seized the opportunity provided by the oil crisis to argue for their technology as a clean, cheap, abundant, and universal alternate. The community characterized solar energy as a technical problem, yet in house design, they relied on subjective parameters like thermal

Teaching the history of architecture from a global perspective remains controversial. First, there is no consensus on what global history is or should be. Second, global history warrants a fundamental transformation of the disciplinary tactics of knowledge production and new models of grounded research in cross-border phenomena. Third, historians often feel intellectually and morally challenged as

What can architecture learn from a direct confrontation with the material afterlives of modern consumption? All That Is Solid is a series of experiments in reuse conducted during a six-week residency at a waste-processing facility in Philadelphia. Through firsthand encounters with the materials and practices of the recycling industry, the project explores how these othered forms of knowledge could

Architecture today is most often produced and represented in virtual interfaces: proprietary apps, CAD/BIM programs, image editors, and scripting environments. But these instruments, designed for designing, often make certain assumptions about who architecture’s subjects are. For whom, for instance, is BIM made? What makes an ideal user? In representations such as scale figures, users, and avatars

Drawing on cases from the tropical and subtropical worlds (in Australia and Southeast Asia), we employ southern architectural examples to interrogate normative assumptions around climatic design. As the foundation for a new history of climatic design, this article seeks not only to challenge northern, temperate views of climate in the age of the Anthropocene but also to emphasize tropical zones as

Underrepresented communities are overrepresented in correctional systems worldwide. In Hawaiʻi, Native Hawaiians represent a disproportionately high percentage of people in all levels of the criminal justice system. This chronic overrepresentation of Hawaiʻi’s indigenous community embodies systemic inequality, discrimination, racism, and colonialism across multiple institutions and generations. Our

This essay explores the co-construction of urban health and blight through architectural representation during urban renewal, exploring how buildings symbolically stood for social and epidemiological diagnoses, producing racial othering through depictions of space. Analysis of photographs, building surveys, real estate appraisals, maps, reports, and advertisements preceding urban renewal in Charlottesville

PRAXXIS is a feminist research collective and vertical teaching studio (atelier) in both the BA (Hons) and MArch courses at the Manchester School of Architecture. Alongside research activity, staff in the PRAXXIS atelier activates students to create projects that are both personal and political, using robust, open, and unapologetically feminist conversations. We explore and ask questions as to what

This essay uses the lens of teaching an undergraduate survey lecture course to explore ways to root pedagogy in the premise that architecture is not neutral. I argue that teaching difference and inequality as key categories through which architectural history and urbanism are approached prepares future professionals to act ethically and deepens understandings of architecture. The essay examines a set

Canada has adopted stricter immigration policies within the last thirty years, which criminalize forced migrants. This has resulted in the construction of immigration holding centers (IHCs), buildings built exclusively for the detainment of undocumented individuals. As part of a directed design studio research project, the Laval IHC in Quebec, Canada, was examined by reconstructing government-issued

In the Paso del Norte at the US-Mexico border, water—as an agent of geopolitics, commodification, and social reproduction—produces charged physical spaces and asymmetrical material realities in the borderland. While the waters of the Rio Grande and the rapidly diminishing aquifers contribute to the reproductive capacity of land within the desert climate, it is the infrastructures of water supply, sanitation

The necessity and desire to control water, a vital resource for life, have generated deep, irreversible territorial transformations. Resting on the banks of the Sabarmati River, the Indian city of ...
