A wide variety of disciplines are represented at this year’s celebration, which creates many exciting opportunities for students to share their work and learn. VISITING FELLOW RESPONSIBILITIES During reviews, Visiting Fellows are expected to engage student presenters with questions that promote further insight into the issues being investigated. Visiting Fellows will select one group/student from their review group to receive recognition awards. It is important that Fellows participate in full through the end of all presentations. CED Faculty have been assigned to each group to assist with timekeeping, and to moderate discussions. PRESENTATION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS Presentations at the Berkeley Circus provide students with an opportunity to introduce their current work to a knowledgeable and interested audience in a casual, non-classroom setting. In the limited time allotted for presentations, the primary focus should be to communicate one or two of the most important features of the project to the Visiting Fellows and to invite their feedback. Only a brief project overview to preface the primary topics of discussion will be necessary. RECOGNITION AWARDS DELIBERATION At the end of each hour period of presentations (at 3:00 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.), Visiting Fellow groups will participate in a half-hour long Open Deliberation & Discussion session with students, during which the groups will have a chance to further discuss certain projects presented. During the Final Deliberations period, Visiting Fellows will identify one student/group to be acknowledged at the Student Recognition Ceremony. Please keep in mind that review groups may contain students representing a variety of educational levels, from undergraduates to doctoral candidates. Students should be selected for recognition among their peers of the same level. 4 FACULTY SPEAKERS JENNIFER WOLCH William W. Wurster Dean, College of Environmental Design Professor of City & Regional Planning Jennifer Wolch is an urban planner, whose past work has focused on urban homelessness and the delivery of affordable housing and human services for poor people. She has also studied urban sprawl and alternative approaches to city-building, such as smart growth and new urbanism. Her most recent work analyzes connections between city form, physical activity, and public health, and develops strategies to improve access to urban parks and recreational resources. Wolch has authored or co-authored over 130 academic journal articles and book chapters. Her books include Landscapes of Despair: From Deinstitutionalization to Homelessness (with Michael Dear), The Shadow State: Government and Voluntary Sector in Transition and Malign Neglect: Homelessness in an American City (with Michael Dear). She has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Study Center, and other prestigious honors for her research, teaching and service. TOM J. BURESH Professor and Chair, Architecture Tom J. Buresh is an accomplished educator and professional in the field of architecture. Prior to joining CED, Buresh was Professor and Chair of Architecture at Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan. For 13 years preceding his time at Taubman, he was a member of the faculty at the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles. Buresh is also Principal of Guthrie + Buresh Architects, which he established in 1988 with Danelle Guthrie. Their award-winning work has been published in over 55 books, periodicals, and newspapers and exhibited internationally. Guthrie + Buresh’s project WorkHouse was featured in “The Un-private House” exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. TERESA CALDEIRA Professor and Chair, City & Regional Planning Teresa Caldeira’s research focuses on predicaments of urbanization and reconfigurations of spatial segregation and social discrimination, mostly in cities of the global south. She has been studying the relationships between urban form and political transformation, particularly in the context of democratization. Her work is interdisciplinary, combining methodologies, theories, and approaches from the different social sciences, and especially concerned with reshaping ethnographic methods for the study of cities. Caldeira's current research projects seek to investigate new formations of urban life and city space as they intersect with new technologies of the public, new forms of governance, and new paradigms of urban planning. In 2012, she received a Faculty Mentor Award, Graduate Assembly, at UC Berkeley, and was a 2012 Guggenheim Fellow. 5 HARRISON FRAKER Professor of Architecture and Urban Design & and Co-Chair, Master of Urban Design Program Harrison Fraker, Jr., F.A.I.A., was educated as an architect and urban designer at Princeton and Cambridge Universities and is recognized as a pioneer in passive solar, daylighting and sustainable design research and teaching. He has pursued a career bridging innovative architecture and urban design education with an award-winning practice. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for creating a new College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota and was appointed the founding Dean. He was granted Fellowship in the AIA College of Fellows for his distinguished career of bridging education and practice. He has published seminal articles on the design potential of sustainable systems and urban design principles for transit oriented neighborhoods. He teaches design studio and believes in integrating pragmatic and theoretical analysis to create new knowledge about the most critical environmental design challenges facing society. He is currently pursuing his beliefs through a whole systems design approach for entirely resource-self-sufficient, transit-oriented neighborhoods of 100,000 people in China. LOUISE MOZINGO Professor and Chair, Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning A former associate and senior landscape architect at Sasaki Associates, Louise Mozingo joined CED after a decade of professional practice. In 2009, she became the founding director of the Center for Resource Efficient Communities (CREC), an interdisciplinary research team at CED dedicated to supporting resource efficiency goals through environmental planning and urban design. Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Chicago Botanic Garden, the Boston Architectural League, and the National Building Museum in Washington, DC. Her articles and reviews have appeared in a variety of noted publications, she has contributed chapters to a number of books, and is the award-winning

McCann Morley, the founding director of the San Francisco Museum of Art (1935-58), in establishing a pioneering architectural exhibition program which, as part of a coherent public agenda, not only had a tremendous impact on the education and enlightenment of her community, but also reached some of the most influential actors in the United States who, like cultural critic Lewis Mumford, were exposed and seduced by the so-called Second Bay Region School and its emphasis on social, political and environ- mental concerns.

ISSN: 2341-3050. https://doi.org/10.4995/vlc.2019.10939 Resumen: Este artículo investiga el desconocido programa de exposiciones de arquitectura del SFMA durante la etapa fundacional de su primera directora, Grace Morley. Su pionera difusión de la arquitectura de la Bahía como respuesta al contexto geográfico y cultural de la región ofreció a los críticos del Este una nueva perspectiva de la modernidad californiana. Análogamente, el estudio de la colaboración SFMA-MoMA durante el comisariado de Elizabeth Mock examina el conflicto de percepciones e intereses entre ambas costas conducente a la histórica exposición de 1949 Domestic Architecture of the San Francisco Bay Region. Epítome de los debates de posguerra, esta culminaba un infatigable esfuerzo promocional iniciado años antes de que el conocido artículo de Lewis Mumford en The New Yorker desencadenara, en 1947, una encendida controversia acerca del “Bay Region Style.” Contrariamente a la creencia de que el SFMA reaccionó tardíamente al simposio del MoMA de 1948 organizado por Philip Johnson para rebatir a Mumford, aquella exposición fue la consecuencia de una efectiva agenda regionalista que logró exponer, educar y/o seducir a algunos de los más influyentes actores del panorama norteamericano con la idea de una Escuela de la Región de la Bahía profundamente preocupada por cuestiones sociales, políticas y ecológicas.

Gordon warned her readers that the practitioners of the International Style, which she deplored as “barren,” were designing and promoting unlivable housing. She specifically condemned German immigrant architects Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as well as French architect Le Corbusier.

  • Practicing Geohumanities
    Practicing Geohumanities Michael Dear University of California, Berkeley The age-old confrontation between two cultures—humanities and science—obscures the fact that their traditions are fundamentally similar in several respects. A primary source of the continuing fracture between the two cultures might simply be practitioners’ preference for exclusionary onto- logical or epistemological worldviews, expressed most directly through the differing discipline-based standards of evidence that practitioners deploy or are willing to accept. In this article, I consider the nature of practice in the nascent geohumanities by uncovering the tracks of recent convergences in geography and the humanities, and by reflecting on case studies from my own recent work. Three aspects of transdisciplinary scholarly dialogue are highlighted: the standards of practice, the quality of work produced, and the ensuing pedagogy. I suggest ways of replacing the opacities of intellectual difference with the transparencies of recognition; how the outcomes of transdisciplinary practice might be judged; and practices in the transdisciplinary classroom. Key Words: digital humanities, geohumanities, GIS, keywords, pedagogy, place, transdisciplinarity, urban. Some years ago, at the University of California (UC) Berkeley’s Townsend Center for the Humanities, I listened as a very eminent colleague expounded on the subtleties of Dante’s Divine Comedy. She responded respectfully and gracefully to comments and critiques from diverse disciplinary perspectives, promising to incorporate them into her interpretive schema. But I became confused as the architecture of her original exposition garnered modifications, amounting sometimes to a small repair, later to a roomy addition, and even verging on complete renovation. The structure of her argument sagged under the weight imposed by these alternative Downloaded by [67.169.96.244] at 12:16 28 August 2015 framings and interpretations, finally collapsing (or so it seemed to me) into an undifferentiated bricolage of accumulated evidences.
