Chancellor’s Message Dear Colleagues: The last few months have been highly productive relative to the 2013 and 2011 Latrobe Prizes. In mid- February the 2013 Latrobe Prize jury concluded its deliberations by selecting an excellent proposal submitted by Bemal Mendis and Joyce Hsiang, principals of Plan B Architecture and Urbanism and Yale School of Architecture critics. Their research topic, “Urban Sphere: The City of 7 Billion” will build upon previous work performed as the result of an AIA Upjohn Research Grant and a Hines Research Fund for Advanced Sustainability. Mendis and Hsiang will analyze the challenges of global urbanization creating a holistic geospatial model of the world.

  • A Method for Public Interest Design in Architectural Education
    Partner – Translate – Impact: A Method for Public Interest Design in Architectural Education Global financial systems, increased human mobility, and climate change are contemporary forces creating historic disparities between rich and poor, increased rural-to-urban migration, and frequent natural disas- ters. These conditions demand that architecture rethink its relationship with natural and built environments and the people who occupy them. NADIA M. ANDERSON Public Interest Design shifts architectural agency away from what Awan et al. Iowa State University describe as a closed professional loop based on exclusive knowledge used in ser- vice to an exclusive group of clients1 and toward engagement with a broad range of partners and issues. This shift requires a change in the relationship between architecture and the public from one of hierarchy to one of partnership. Design in this framework is not about delivering professional knowledge or products to a passive public but rather about working with them to create change and agency. If architecture is to become an engaged shaper of global space in partnership with a broad constituency, architectural education must acknowledge Dana Cuff’s statement in Architecture: The Story of Practice that “the production of places is a social process” and “design itself is a social process.”2 As Cuff dis- cusses, architectural schools are “where the bulk of professional ideology is developed” and are therefore the places where values can be shifted away from emphasis on individual “personality, talent,

  • Social Responsibility and the Graphic Designer
    DESIGNING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE. Social responsibility and the graphic designer. Daniel Scott Graphic design thesis 2012 Design and visual communication Supervisor: Anders Ljungmark K3, Malmö högskola Keywords Social change, social design, responsibility, social responsibility, corporate social responsibility, graphic design, community-based graphic design, socially conscious graphic design, propaganda. Abstract The aim of this thesis is to study social responsibility and find out what responsibilities the graphic designer may have and what they can do using their skill set as a designer to contribute in helping to better their community. Social responsibility needs to be addressed more within the design field. It needs to be introduced and taught to students at an early stage of their education, so as they fully understand the power and influence that their creations will have over society, and the role this plays in materialism, overconsumption and our modern day consumer-culture. Change needs to be made within graphic design and the urgency for this grows more and more for each day that passes. The graphic designer needs to critically reflect over the purpose of their work and answer the question of whom it stands to serve: their audience or consumer-culture. They need to move away from the creation of artificial needs and the promotion of unnecessary products, and move towards the creation of more useful and lasting communication that contributes to society. Daniel Scott - Designing for social change - 2012 Foreword Thanks to Anders Ljungmark, my supervisor, for support, encouragement and direction through the process of working with this essay. Thanks to my Mum and Dad for being supportive and offering encouragement for the most things I do.

  • Building Social Building: Public Interest Design As a Catalyst for Change
    Building Social Building: Public Interest Design as a Catalyst for Change Today’s most complex and variable social issues are the context within which we, as social impact architects, attempt to find a footing. This inconstant environment leaves us with more questions than answers. This paper does not offer another definition or exercise in seman- tics, but rather lessons learned about the social impact architecture field through a specific case study as a means to progress the discourse. EMILY ROUSH ELLIOTT As the field of public interest architecture struggles to define itself, parallels have Mississippi State University been drawn with the public health field and its divergence from the field of medi- cine. Should a similar division be drawn between socially impactful architecture LEAH FAULK KEMP and an otherwise defined traditional practice? The public health analogy is lim- Mississippi State University ited in its application when specialization within each field is considered. While specialization within medicine defines education, training, and professional prac- tice (the American Board of Medical Specialties currently certifies over 150 spe- cialties and subspecialties1 ), specialization in the field of architecture is gained primarily through experience. Individuals and firms develop specific or broad expertise organically over the course of a career. Branding, portfolios of work, and awards indicate specific areas of expertise within the field of architecture, rather than a regulatory body. Therefore, many of the pressures that

Post-Convention Issue If you weren’t there, come see what you missed. 1 Chancellor’s Message Dear Colleagues: Having recently returned from this year’s annual meeting in Denver I have reflected on the numerous conventions that I have attended throughout our great country. Each year as we gather to address significant issues that confront our profession, the setting seems to be appropriate and the topic typically relevant to the time. This year is no exception. In fact it is one of the best conventions I have attended. The focus on leadership was totally on target and the involvement of young architects as presenters of the keynote speakers was not only refreshing but also illustrates the need to offer greater encouragement and support to those entering the profession.

You are most distinguished by your thunderous silence and your complete irrelevance….You are employers, you are key people in the planning of our cities today. You share the responsibility for the mess we are in, in terms of the white noose around the central city. It didn’t just happen. We didn’t just suddenly get this situation. It was carefully planned….It took a great deal of skill and creativity and imagination to build the kind of situation we have, and it is going to take skill and imagination and creativity to change it. We are going to have to have people as committed to doing the right thing, to “inclusiveness,” as we have in the past to exclusiveness.
