MOCAD brings The Architectural Imagination exhibition home to Detroit Image: US Pavilion and Courtyard, The Architectural Imagination 2016, Venice, Italy Detroit, Michigan, December 2016, the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit will open The Architectural Imagination, an exhibition of new speculative architectural projects organized by the University of Michigan. The exhibition was designed for specific sites in Detroit, coming to MOCAD in February direct from Venice, Italy, where it was shown for six months in the United States Pavilion at the Venice Biennale International Architecture Exhibition. Occupying MOCAD’s major exhibition gallery and curated by Cynthia Davidson and Mónica Ponce de León, the exhibition emphasizes the importance of imagination in shaping forms and spaces that have the potential to open up new ideas about living in the postindustrial city. As the birthplace of the automobile industry, the free­span factory floor, the concrete paved road, and Motown and techno music, Detroit was considered a center of American imagination, not only for the automobiles it made but also for its modern architecture and modern lifestyle. Like many post­industrial cities that have lost population, Detroit now faces a changed landscape, but its role as a design center is strong.

  • Harvard Design: Chicago
    Adaptive Architectures and Smart Materials Conference OCTOBER 1–2, 2015 GSD Alumni + Friends Weekend OCTOBER 2–3, 2015 Welcome. Dear GSD Alumni, Faculty, and Friends, Welcome. Thank you for joining us for Harvard Design: Chicago. We are pleased that you are able to take part in this annual celebration of the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, even further energized this year with the explosion of creative activity that is overflowing throughout the city during the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial. Over the next few days, we will have the opportunity to explore this vibrant city and engage in exciting discussions with thought leaders from our extended GSD community around the world. This weekend, while reconnecting with classmates and colleagues, we will draw on our combined experience and insight to identify further ways to imagine and construct a better future. I look forward to your participation in these vital conversations. Warm regards, Beth Kramer Associate Dean, Development and Alumni Relations Harvard University Graduate School of Design Overview. Adaptive Architectures and Smart Materials Conference October 1–2, 2015 The integration of new communication, interactivity, and display technologies fundamentally transforms spaces and places into networked, responsive environments. Within this context, architecture has become “smart” at scales that range from materials to equipment to façades. A building envelope is currently the site of intense speculation; the introduction of CNC fabrication techniques allows for increased formal complexity, while new material properties in glass, polymers, and fabrics offer new spatial, visual, and thermal properties. These new materials have the capacity to transform architecture—its optical properties, configuration, thermal qualities, and even architecture’s ability to regulate its appearance.
