  • Common Ground Participants
    Common Ground Participants The selection of participants for this year’s Biennale evolved in response to the Common Ground theme. We began with a desire to emphasise shared ideas over individual authorship, and realised that this required us to initiate dialogues rather simply make a selection of individuals. We began by asking a limited group of architects to develop ideas that might lead to further invitations: everyone was asked to propose a project along with a dialogue that reacted to the theme and showed architecture in its context of influence and affinity, history and language, city and culture. The final list of contributors demonstrates a rich culture of difference rather than a selection of edited and promoted positions. We want to emphasise the common ground that the profession shares, notwithstanding the apparent diversity of today’s architectural production. The sharing of differences is critical to the idea of an architectural culture. (David Chipperfield) 1. Group: 4. Adam Caruso 13178 Moran Street Peter St. John CARUSO ST.

Laitman Documentation Project for Craft and Decorative Arts in America. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a recorded interview with Niels Diffrient on July 28 and August 30, 2010. The interview took place in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and was conducted by Matilda McQuaid for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. This interview is part of the Nanette L. Laitman Documentation Project for Craft and Decorative Arts in America. Niels Diffrient has reviewed the transcript and has made corrections and emendations. The reader should bear in mind that they are reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview MATILDA MCQUAID: So this is Matilda McQuaid. I'm interviewing Niels Diffrient at the artist's home and studio in Ridgefield, Connecticut, on July 28 [2010]. And this is for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. And this is card number one. So Niels, I wanted to just see if you could just establish or sort of begin talking about your childhood, where you were born, when you were born. And what specific things in your childhood helped you to get to where you are now — if there was anything or if it happened later. But let's just start at the very beginning. NIELS DIFFRIENT: Well, I was born in Mississippi in 1928, a year before the Great Depression, a small town called Star and the population was, at the time I was born, something like 264.

    A new Plan of Chicago: 12 ways to heal a city SEPTEMBER 18, 2014, 5:19 PM sk Chicagoans how to fix their city and you'll hear powerful ideas to rescue flailing schools, cut violent A crime, create attractive jobs and help families thrive. We know this. We asked. Last October, we launched our Plan of Chicago project to fill in blanks left by famed civic architect Daniel Burnham's 1909 plan. His blueprint to build Chicago set in motion a century of astonishing growth and prosperity. But he didn't deliver his follow-up plan to fix this city's grave social problems. Today: Twelve proposals we've culled from thousands. Earlier in this series, we chronicled the pernicious and intertwined crises Chicago confronts in its schools, streets, businesses and homes. Let's underline that word: intertwined. These problems snake through nearly every aspect of life in Chicago, whether you're a Gold Coast entrepreneur or a struggling single mom in Austin. The quality of life in Chicago — its future — depends on innovative, cost-effective solutions to tenacious problems plaguing too many neighborhoods. We asked readers to think big but also small, because narrow-scope remedies can chip away at monumental challenges. Chicago cannot thrive unless its citizens wage battles on every block. Unless everyone with a desire to raise a family, start a business, snag a great job, make Chicago home, can find a glide path to success lit by ... everyone else in Chicago. We've worked through thousands of ideas suggested by readers and by Chicago-area residents who attended the Chicago Community Trust's "On the Table" event in May.

  • Graduate Programs Guidebook
    Graduate Programs Guidebook i ii University of Illinois at Chicago Chicago, perhaps the ur-American metropolis, provides the ideal launching pad for urban and architectural speculation. For students at the School of Architecture, direct access to this model of experimentation is coupled with the resources and opportunities generated by an especially active community of alumni, design practices, and architectural institutions. UIC is one of the country’s major urban public research universities, and it is from this context that the School of Architecture extends its three-part agenda: to condition the metropolis, construct new audiences, and circulate ideas. Established in 1965, UIC is now one of the top-200 research- funded institutions in the world. The School of Architecture benefits from its commitment to building a dynamic and diverse collection of faculty and intellectual, aesthetic, and cultural interests.
