  • What Is Feminist Practice?
    WHAT IS FEMINIST PRACTICE? WHAT IS FEMINIST PRACTICE? / ADVANCED STUDIO V / COLUMBIA GSAPP / FALL 2018 CRITIC: BRYONY ROBERTS Feminism is in a state of rapid expansion and instability. Having transformed from a taboo to a trend, feminism is now serving as a rallying cry for political solidarity, and as a marketing tactic to sell everything from jeans to coffee to real estate. Simultaneously, feminist political agendas are multiplying and transforming, as greater awareness of gender fluidity and intersectionality have broadened the discourse. In the midst of these changes, this studio takes stock of what feminist practice can mean for architecture now. Looking back at seminal projects from the 1970s through the 1990s, the studio critically assesses past definitions of feminism in art and architecture, and asks how to transform them for contemporary design. Rather than seeking one singular definition of feminist practice, the studio is an open-ended conversation about what is possible. The course is open to anyone, not only those living as women, and explores how the tools and principles of feminist practices can be applicable to architecture broadly. In the first phase of the studio, students are immersed in case studies of radical projects from the 1970s to the present, which offer alternative models for the architectural design process, program and/or materiality. For process, students examine projects by Muf, Matrix, and Feminist Architecture Collaborative that develop non-hierarchical, collaborative, and user-informed design. For program,

  • Shawmut Design and Construction Unveils the Wing Williamsburg March 24, 2020 - Design / Build
    Shawmut Design and Construction unveils The Wing Williamsburg March 24, 2020 - Design / Build Brooklyn, NY Shawmut Design and Construction completed The Wing Williamsburg at 71 N 7th St., a network of work and community spaces designed for women. Officially open on February 14th, the new location will be an expansion of the organization’s goal to empower its members and create networks where they can meet, work, create, and learn. To celebrate, The Wing hosted events throughout its first month, beginning with a “Williamsburg Be Mine” opening soirée. Shawmut, in partnership with The Wing’s in-house interior design team and CallisonRTKL, completed the 12,000 s/f space across three floors which includes a rooftop with cityscape views. The project was designed to feel cohesive and comfortable with amenities including a full-service café and bar, a personal space area with showers, lockers, a fully stocked mother’s room and beauty room, a shared library, private meeting room with Zoom capabilities, five soundproof phone booths, and a quiet room area. Unique to this location is the addition of a childcare space, “The Little Wing,” outfitted with furniture and toys from Crate and Kids. “Dedicated to the professional, civic, social, and economic advancement of women through the communities in which they create, we were inspired to help expand The Wing’s mission by completing their newest location in Williamsburg,” said David Margolius, executive vice president at Shawmut. “Our team, who tapped into expertise working in urban areas, was successful in delivering a space that will provide each member with the necessary resources that will ensure The Wing remains a force of influence for women in New York City and beyond.” As with each Wing location, the Williamsburg space was designed to cater to the specific needs of the local members and draw inspiration from the community.

  • The Hallelujah Fight
    SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING SOCIAL SKILLS LESSON PLAN CASEL COMPETENCY: SELF-MANAGEMENT SOCIAL SKILL: SELF-MOTIVATION Created by: Robyn Orr BOOK INFORMATION Book title: The Hallelujah Flight Author: Phil Bildner Illustrator: John Holyfield Publisher and date of publication: G.P. Putnam’s Sons Number of pages:29 ISBN: 978-0-399-24789-7 Reading or interest level: 3-6 BOOK SYNOPSIS This is based on the story of James Banning, through the eyes of his copilot Thomas Allen. Banning dreamed of being the first African American to fly a plane from one coast of the United States to the other. Banning and Allen did not have money to work on the plane, so they decided that they would let people sign their names on the tip of the wing when they helped with supplies, fuel, and food. Other mechanics laughed at them. But the people in town helped pay to fix it so they could write their names. They were finally able to fly. They flew around and when they nearly avoided crash-landing the plane, they said “Hallelujah”. Many people they met around the country were willing to support Banning and Allen, as long as the people could sign. At one stop, the airport supervisor would not let them use the bathroom. At another stop they were not allowed to eat in the town. They said “Hallelujah” when they left these towns. They stayed with family in Oklahoma and avoided a storm in Illinois. Finally, they made it to New York City Harbor. The people in Harlem treated them like heroes.

The rising senior at Mamaroneck High School in Westchester County is quick to pitch the app she has been developing ever since her freshman year, a sensor-driven program “to optimize the parking-lot experience” at her high school. “I’ve been working with a mentor through the app-idea process and once I’m done with the entire thing,” she says confidently, “I’ll enter it in competition this year.” Karp is the kind of self-starting future technologist drawn to a Brooklyn summer program squarely at the intersection of two timely issues: cyber security and women in technology. Along with 44 other young women, she has just completed a three-week course called Computer Science for Cyber Security (CS4CS) (http://engineering.nyu.edu/k12stem/cs4cs/) at NYU Tandon School of Engineering (http://engineering.nyu.edu).
