Nina Rappaport As an artist’s architect, how did you transition from small-scale house and studio projects to public projects, such as the libraries in London and Washing- ton, D.C., and even larger urban projects? How did this trajectory increase your engagement with architecture as a public and social art? David Adjaye The trigger was a series of competitions being held in England at a time when the reinvention of the public realm 1 2 was being discussed. Much of my work had been in the East End of London, a borough where ideas for new library programs were being planned and then came to prominence with committees that launched competitions for several buildings.

    Hannes Meyer’s Scientific Worldview and Architectural Education at the Bauhaus (1927-1930) Hideo Tomita The Second Asian Conference of Design History and Theory —Design Education beyond Boundaries— ACDHT 2017 TOKYO 1-2 September 2017 Tsuda University Hannes Meyer’s Scientific Worldview and Architectural Education at the Bauhaus (1927-1930) Hideo Tomita Kyushu Sangyo University [email protected] 29 Abstract Although the Bauhaus’s second director, Hannes Meyer (1889-1954), as well as some of the graduates whom he taught, have been much discussed in previous literature, little is known about the architectural education that Meyer shaped during his tenure. He incorporated key concepts from biology, psychology, and sociology, and invited specialists from a wide variety of fields. The Bauhaus under Meyer was committed to what is considered a “scientific world- view,” and this study focuses on how Meyer incorporated this into his theory of architectural education. This study reveals the following points. First, Meyer and his students used sociology to design analytic architectural diagrams and spatial standardizations. Second, they used psy- chology to design spaces that enabled people to recognize a symbolized community, to grasp a social organization, and to help them relax their mind. Third, Meyer and his students used hu- man biology to decide which direction buildings should face and how large or small that rooms and windows should be. Finally, Meyer’s unified scientific worldview shared a similar theoreti- cal structure to the “unity of science” movement, established by the founding members of the Vienna Circle, at a conceptual level. Keywords: Bauhaus, Architectural Education, Sociology, Psychology, Biology, Unity of Science Hannes Meyer’s Scientific Worldview and Architectural Education at the Bauhaus (1927–1930) 30 The ACDHT Journal, No.2, 2017 Introduction In 1920s Germany, modernist architects began to incorporate biology, sociology, and psychol- ogy into their architectural theory based on the concept of “function” (Gropius, 1929; May, 1929).

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

  • (M. Arch I '18) and Misha Semenov (M. Arch I & MEM
    The 2016 Spring term at the Yale School of Architec- Paprika! 4.14.16 ture is special as it convenes for the very first time XXIV four internationally acclaimed professors (Wolf D. Prix, Greg Lynn, Zaha Hadid, and Patrik Schumacher) who all ran, and in one case still runs, their individual master classes at the Angewandte in Vienna. While students used to commit to one professor for five years before the Bologna Reform, they now spend three years in one critic’s master class in order to obtain a Master’s degree. 1—Do you consider yourself a master since or because you ran a master class at the Angewandte? 2—Did or does this particular mode of teaching leave a mark on your pedagogy? Wolf D. Prix Zaha Hadid: AA Dipl. The editors issued the questions on Friday, March 11, Azza Abou Alam (M. Arch I ‘18) and but did not receive any feedback from Professor Hadid. Misha Semenov (M. Arch I & M.E.M ‘19) A Conversation in Memory of…? After waiting for up to an hour in line to attend last Thursday’s ‘Conversation in Honor of Zaha Hadid,’ students left Hastings Hall with mixed feelings. Some had heated conversations at the reception, attempting to decipher what just happened. Some were upset enough to put up posters in the reception area reassuring prospective students that some of the Yalies in the audience had found the talk unfulfilling. Our initial reaction, too, was one of shock: how could a conversation in honor of Zaha, a singular genius who for many stands as a symbol of the breakdown and diversification of the exclusive ‘upper circle’ of architects, one who means so much to women and minority designers around the world and in our school, so easily devolve into a conversation about the connec- tions, support networks, and old boys’ clubs that Gehry and Eisenman were a part of? Incensed, we drafted an article that condemned what we saw as a disrespectful conversation only tangentially related to Zaha.

  • David Adjaye:Public Engagement and Private Retreat
    For Immediate Release Media Contact: Kitty Dumas 305-348-3892 / [email protected] Acclaimed British Architect to Speak at FIU David Adjaye:Public Engagement and Private Retreat Miami- (March 1, 2008) - Internationally acclaimed British architect David Adjaye will speak on Friday, March 14, at 8:00 p.m. as part of The Frost Art Museum’s Steven & Dorothea Green Critics’ Lecture Series. The lecture will be held in the Green Library, GL 100 on the University Park Campus of Florida International University, 11200 SW 8th Street, Miami. The event is free and open to the public. Adjaye will discuss the creative process that has made him one of the most sought-after architects of his generation in the UK, and brought him international recognition. His ingenious use of materials and ability to sculpt and showcase light have attracted both critical success and admiration from the public. Adjaye built his reputation in London’s East End, designing houses and studios in this older, gentrifying area, for artists and celebrities including Ewan McGregor and Juergen Teller. Known for his use of light in creating spaces that blur the lines between art and architecture, he has said that he works “more like an artist than an architect.” Last year, Adjaye celebrated what he has described as the pinnacle of his career thus far with the opening of the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver, his first major public building in the United States. The museum is recognized by the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (Leed) as one of the country’s first “green” art museums, because of Adjaye’s use of recycled materials and energy efficient systems.

  • Forms, Ideals, and Methods. Bauhaus Transfers to Mandatory Palestine
    Ronny Schüler Forms, Ideals, and Methods. Bauhaus Transfers to Mandatory Palestine Introduction A “Bauhaus style” would be a setback to academic stagnation, into a state of inertia hostile to life, the combatting of which the Bauhaus was once founded. May the Bauhaus be saved from this death. Walter Gropius, 1930 The construction activities of the Jewish community in the British Mandate of Palestine represents a prominent paradigm for the spread of European avant-garde architecture. In the 1930s, there is likely no comparable example for the interaction of a similar variety of influences in such a confined space. The reception of architectural modernism – referred to as “Neues Bauen” in Germany – occurred in the context of a broad cultural transfer process, which had already begun in the wake of the waves of immigration (“Aliyot”) from Eu- rope at the end of the nineteenth century and had a formative effect within the emancipating Jewish community in Palestine (“Yishuv”). Among the growing number of immigrants who turned their backs on Europe with the rise of fas- cism and National Socialism were renowned intellectuals, artists, and archi- tects. They brought the knowledge and experience they had acquired in their 1 On the transfer process of modernity European homelands.

  • Gendering Architecture, Architecting Gender Introduction
    GENDERING ARCHITECTURE, ARCHITECTING GENDER INTRODUCTION The Women in Architecture Student Organization (WIASO) presents: Gendering Architecture, Architecting Gender, a celebration of female architects throughout history as well as contemporary female architects often neglected or erased in mainstream media and architectural curricula. By showcasing works by female architects, WIASO hopes to counteract the dominant narrative of the architect as a male subject. This exhibition works to rewrite architectural history by acknowledging the contributions of female architects who have been dismissed, belitted, or denied credit for their work. By looking at architectural movements from a critical, feminist perspective, one is able to recenter history around marginalized identities and redefine what it means to be an architect. The exhibition is a glimpse at a shared history among female architects at the University of Minnesota, one that architecture students are learning about and contributing to daily. Women’s School of Planning and Architecture, 1975 EXHIBITION CREDITS DESIGN & CURATION Support for this exhibition and programs provided by the Goldstein Museum of Design, the College of Design, and generous individuals. In addition, GMD programming is made possible by the voters of Minnesota Neva Hubbert UMN Architecture Student through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to Dana Saari UMN Architecture Student the legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
