    Gwendolen M. Carter For over 25 years the Center for African Studies at the University of Florida has organized annual lectures or a conference in honor of the late distinguished Africanist scholar, Gwendolen M. Carter. Gwendolen Carter devoted her career to scholarship and advocacy concerning the politics of inequality and injustice, especially in southern Africa. She also worked hard to foster the development of African Studies as an academic enterprise. She was perhaps best known for her pioneering study The Politics of Inequality: South Africa Since 1948 and the co-edited four-volume History of African Politics in South Africa, From Protest to Challenge (1972-1977). In the spirit of her career, the annual Carter lectures offer the university community and the greater public the perspectives of Africanist scholars on issues of pressing importance to the peoples and soci- eties of Africa. Since 2004, the Center has (with the generous support of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences) appointed Carter Faculty Fellows to serve as conveners of the conference.

Heinsberg, May 2020. CRICURSA Cristales Curvados, SA and Super Spacer® have been a proven team in the production of curved XXL insulating glass units for iconic buildings with unique glass facades for some time now. Especially for energy-efficiency reasons, the warm edge spacer system was also used for the 5,500 square metre glass facade of the Qatar National Library in Doha, which was completed in 2018. Wave-shape provides stability Rob Nijsse, Professor of Structural Analysis and former partner of the Dutch engineering company ABT Arnhem, and ABT structural consultant Ronald Wenting were both involved in a leading capacity in the structural design for the first congenial collaboration of Rem Koolhaas and CRICURSA: the Casa da Música concert hall in Porto, the wave-shaped glass facades of which have become something of a trademark of star architect Rem Koolhaas and his Rotterdam office OMA architects over the last 15 years. In their article “Designing and constructing corrugated glass facades” Rob Njisse and Roland Wenting write: “If the desired corrugated form can be folded from a sheet of paper, then the glass industry will also be able to produce it. ” Indeed, the static benefits of a facade designed as a wave are obvious. In the same way as a sheet of paper that has been folded to form an accordion, it possesses much more rigidity than flat paper.

    Guggenheim Presents Countryside, The Future, an AMO / Rem Koolhaas Exhibition Opening February 2020 Exhibition to Examine Radical Changes Transforming the Surface of the World beyond Cities (NEW YORK, NY—October 1, 2019)— From February 20 through summer 2020 the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum will present Countryside, The Future, an exhibition addressing urgent environmental, political, and socioeconomic issues through the lens of architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas and AMO, the think tank of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). A unique exhibition for the Guggenheim rotunda, Countryside, The Future will explore radical changes in the vast nonurban areas of Earth with an immersive installation premised on original research. The project extends investigative work already underway by AMO, Koolhaas, and students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design; the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing; Wageningen University, Netherlands; and the University of Nairobi. Countryside, The Future is organized by Troy Conrad Therrien, Curator of Architecture and Digital Initiatives, Solomon R.
