Tectonics and the Space of Communicativity
91st ACSA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE • HELSINKI • JULY 27-30, 2003 423 Tectonics and The Space of Communicativity DORIAN WISZNIEWSKI University of Edinburgh It is a logical corollary to post-modernity’s skepticism, that architecture’s role, privileged since the Renaissance to make generalising plans for society in general, should be called into question. Let us remember Lyo- tard’s optimism, that ‘‘invention is always born of dissension’’1 . However, we must also be wary of post modernity’s skepticism. It might lead to an ideological revolution where we simply supplant materialism for idealism, where either the utilitarian or sensual experi- ence is promoted to the denial of meaning. This would be a denial of architecture’s representational character and therefore a denial of its contingent relation to regimes of power, politics and philosophy. We must also be wary of simply asserting the worth of fragmentation and collision as the empty rhetoric of a new political dynamics of resistance. This could have the outcome of Fig. 1. Frank O. Gehry, Guggenheim, Bilbao, 1991-97. solipsism, which if not an outright dismissal, certainly is a sublimation of the everyday conditions of co-existence tectonics in this way already invokes proximity to word in the life-world. To be sure, in post-modernity it might language. The architectural theorists Diana Agrest and be difficult to understand what is architecture’s role, Mario Gandelsonas declared the production of architec- indeed what it represents. For some, architecture, or ture as the production of knowledge. They also specu- building that promotes itself as architecture, especially lated into architectural semiotics, thus making direct bombastically to the eclipse of all else, stands already as links between the themes of power, knowledge and a symbol of the old orders. -

Smith B.S. Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Washington, 2002 Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 9, 2003 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering Abstract In recent years, retractable roofs have become a popular feature in sport stadiums. However, they have been used throughout time because they allow a building to become more flexible in its use. This thesis reviews the current technologies of retractable roofs and discusses possible innovations for the future. Most retractable roofs use either a 2-D rigid panel system or a 2-D membrane and I-D cable system. -

David Adjaye:Public Engagement and Private Retreat
For Immediate Release Media Contact: Kitty Dumas 305-348-3892 / [email protected] Acclaimed British Architect to Speak at FIU David Adjaye:Public Engagement and Private Retreat Miami- (March 1, 2008) - Internationally acclaimed British architect David Adjaye will speak on Friday, March 14, at 8:00 p.m. as part of The Frost Art Museum’s Steven & Dorothea Green Critics’ Lecture Series. The lecture will be held in the Green Library, GL 100 on the University Park Campus of Florida International University, 11200 SW 8th Street, Miami. The event is free and open to the public. Adjaye will discuss the creative process that has made him one of the most sought-after architects of his generation in the UK, and brought him international recognition. His ingenious use of materials and ability to sculpt and showcase light have attracted both critical success and admiration from the public. Adjaye built his reputation in London’s East End, designing houses and studios in this older, gentrifying area, for artists and celebrities including Ewan McGregor and Juergen Teller. Known for his use of light in creating spaces that blur the lines between art and architecture, he has said that he works “more like an artist than an architect.” Last year, Adjaye celebrated what he has described as the pinnacle of his career thus far with the opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver, his first major public building in the United States. The museum is recognized by the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (Leed) as one of the country’s first “green” art museums, because of Adjaye’s use of recycled materials and energy efficient systems. -

The Olana Partnership Announces Summer Exhibition “Follies
PO Box 199 Hudson, NY 12534-0199 518-828-1872 www.olana.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 20, 2016 The Olana Partnership Announces Summer Exhibition “Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House” An exhibition showcasing original concept sketches by 21 architects and landscape architects, inspired by Frederic Church’s OLANA June 20th, 2016, New York, NY: The Olana Partnership, in collaboration with the New York chapters of the American Institute of Architects (AIANY) and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA-NY), is pleased to announce a design exhibition at Olana State Historic Site in Hudson, New York. Titled Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House, the exhibition unites noted architects and landscape architects and is curated by The Olana Partnership with guest co-curator Jane Smith, AIA, of Spacesmith. The exhibition addresses one of the great mysteries at Olana -- the Summer House – and it runs from August 14th through November 13th, 2016 in Olana’s Coachman’s House Gallery. Olana is the 250-acre creation of American landscape artist Frederic Church and exists in the birthplace of America’s first native art movement, the Hudson River School. Considered Frederic Church’s great masterpiece, Olana combines art, architecture, design and conservation ideals. In the 1886 “Plan of Olana,” a detailed blueprint of Church’s vision for his large-scale designed landscape, the plan’s details are largely accurate, yet it contains a structure labeled “Summer House”, which doesn’t exist today. Lacking documentary evidence to demonstrate the design and style of this structure, 21 architects and landscape architects were invited to participate in public interpretation at Olana. -
