International Archive of Women in Architecture
IAWA NEWSLETTER International Archive of Women in Architecture Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Fall 2006 No. 18 it has done for cultures of the past, landscape architecture can create places where we, and future generations, will come to feel at home on the earth. As a modern landscape architect, I am inspired by these goals and by the landowners, corporate groups and architects whose needs I serve. When I see how Nature welcomes the gardens and landscapes I have begun, and how they enhance people’s lives, I rejoice in following a distinguished tradition of artists who unite human and natural forces in harmony. In January of 2004, Pattison presented at the symposium, Engaging Louis I. Kahn: A Legacy for the Future, held at the Yale Center for British Art. What follows is a description of some of her collaborations with Kahn and some of her personal memories of him. Korman House and Garden, photo by An-chi Tai Harriet Pattison, ASLA I had the privilege to work on several Kahn projects, mostly Kay F. Edge unbuilt. Though my training was incomplete in 1967, Lou invited me to participate much before, because I intuitively The IAWA is fortunate to have received some information understood his ideas, had a background in the arts and was about landscape architect Harriet Pattison’s work. Pattison young, bold and ignorant enough to crit his work. Eventually worked with Louis Kahn on a number of projects including I was sufficiently skilled to be effective, though like anyone the Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth, Texas and the Korman who came within his sphere, I was a minor player. -
Socialist Constructions: Modern Urban Housing and Social Practice By
Socialist Constructions: Modern Urban Housing and Social Practice By Natallia Barykina A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Geography University of Toronto © Copyright by Natallia Barykina 2015 ii Socialist Constructions: Modern Urban Housing and Social Practice Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Natallia Barykina Department of Geography University of Toronto Abstract My dissertation, “Socialist Constructions: Modern Urban Housing and Social Practice,” investigates the modernist production of living space by focusing on housing reform in Weimar Germany’s Berlin and Frankfurt am Main as well as on the subsequent projects of German modernist architects working in the USSR in the early 1930s. Broadly, my work addresses questions of urban politics (primarily in Germany and Soviet Union), ownership, modernist urban visions, and everyday living practices. I take as a starting point the claim that home was central to the production of modern subjectivity, and, more specifically, that suburban public housing was instrumental in the production of Weimar modernity. By surveying a range of constitutive material and discursive elements for these new forms of settlement (including new technologies and construction methods, state and civic managerial bureaucracies, struggles over finance policies, discursive, aesthetic, and propagandistic legitimizing strategies, etc.), I look at how suburban, large scale, and publicly funded housing estates ( Großsiedlung ) were organized, constructed, and inhabited. Informed by a conceptual model of “coproduction,” I aim to articulate how domesticity and public housing figured in the production of modern subjects and sensibilities and to re- connect discussions of policies to understandings of the sphere of the home as a site of everyday iii life, paying close attention to spaces that shape and produce—and are produced by—complex networks of social practices in the modern city. -
Architect Barbie®
ARCHITECT BARBIE® Barbie® introduces the 2011 ‘Career of the Year’ with Architect Barbie®. To help Architect Barbie® capture the spirit and style of young designers, two female members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) — Despina Stratigakos, Professor of Architectural History at the University at Buffalo and Kelly Hayes McAlonie, Associate Director of the Capital Planning Group at the University at Buffalo and the 2011 President Elect for AIA New York State — worked with Mattel’s designers on Barbie®’s professional image. Architect Barbie® enters the design fi eld on the 125th anniversary of women’s acceptance to professional architectural associations. But even today, architecture remains a highly male-dominated occupation. In fact, as of November 2010 only 17 percent of the members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) were women. A trailblazer in her own right, Architect Barbie® encourages girls to pursue a career in architecture and explore a world without limits. About Despina Stratigakos: Despina Stratigakos is an internationally recognized historian and professor in the Architecture Department at the University at Buffalo. She has published extensively on the history of women in architecture, including her award-winning book, A Women’s Berlin: Building the Modern City (2008), the story of a forgotten metropolis designed by and for women. She lectures publicly on issues of diversity in architecture and in 2007 curated an exhibition on Architect Barbie that focused attention on gendered stereotypes within the architectural profession. Dr. Stratigakos is a Director of the Society of Architectural Historians, a former Advisor of the International Archive of Women in Architecture at Virginia Tech, and a founding member of the Architecture and Design Academy (ADA), an initiative of the Buffalo Public Schools to increase diversity in architecture.
