  • The Critic As Producer: Essays on Architecture Columbia University GSAPP / Fall 2014
    The Critic as Producer: Essays on Architecture Columbia University GSAPP / Fall 2014 James Graham, jdg2153@columbia.edu This seminar will examine the role of critics, criticism, and the essay form in shaping how we understand architecture, in public life and within architectural discourse. We will consider reviews as testing grounds for the author’s own intellectual commitments (theoretical, architectural, political) as those ideas are refracted through the work of others. Readings will include foundational texts in critical theory, histories of reviewing and essay writing, and predominantly the essays themselves. We will explore the complex responses to buildings across generational shifts through selected case studies, and we will speak with practitioners of the review in various forms. Finally, we will consider current trajectories within architectural writing and publishing, particularly a recent resurgence in the essay format (spawned in part by the rise of digital publication formats). This seminar is being taught in conjunction with the launch of The Avery Review, a new digital journal for critical essays on architecture run by the GSAPP Office of Publications (www.averyreview.com). While the essays there will not be required reading, the seminar is intended in part to help shape the direction of the journal and to explore the theoretical and historical underpinnings of this mode of writing, and students are asked to follow the journal so that it might enter our conversations from time to time. Students will be expected to participate vigorously in all class discussions, take an active role in leading the seminar once in the course of the semester, complete one group presentation on an architectural magazine or journal, and produce their own critical work in the form of two essays (strictly 2,000–3,000 words).

  • How Globalization Makes All Cities Look the Same
    INAUGURAL WORKING PAPER SERIES DESTINATION CULTURE: How Globalization makes all Cities Look the Same SHARON ZUKIN VOL. I, NO. 1 SPRING 2009 Destination Culture: How Globalization Makes All Cities Look the Same* Sharon Zukin Department of Sociology Brooklyn College and City University Graduate Center 365 Fifth Avenue New York, New York 10016 szukin@gc.cuny.edu *Revised paper delivered as a keynote for Conference on “Rethinking Cities and Communities: Urban Transition Before and During the Era of Globalization,” Center for Urban and Global Studies, Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, November 14-15, 2008. Comments on the original version were provided by Ahmed Kanna, Raether postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Urban and Global Studies during 2008-09. We also thank our Managing Editor, Jason C. Percy, for his skilled editing of this version. Please contact the author for permission to quote or cite material from this paper. 2 Introduction Debates about the effects of globalization during the past few years often focus on the question of whether the rapid migrations of people, images, and capital have reduced differences between national cultures, or just given them a wider territory and more means of expression. Skeptics argue that this is an age-old question that can never be resolved. In every era, trade routes and travelers have carried new ideas and materials across great distances, permitting indigenous groups to create fusions that gradually grow into new historical traditions. From this point of view, current global trends are neither stranger nor more innovative than “native” weavers who integrate imported dyes into traditional rug patterns or musicians who learn to play traditional instruments in a foreign rhythm.

  • 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

QUANTIFYING VISITOR IMPACT AND MATERIAL DEGRADATION AT GEORGE WASHINGTON’S MOUNT VERNON A Thesis Presented to the Graduate Schools of Clemson University and the College of Charleston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Historic Preservation by Laurel Lynne Bartlett May 2013 Accepted by: Dr. Carter L. Hudgins, Committee Chair Frances Ford Ralph Muldrow Elizabeth Ryan ABSTRACT Over one million visitors per year traverse the visitor path through George Washington’s home at Mount Vernon. Increased visitation has tested the limits of the architectural materials and created the single most threatening source of degradation. While the history of Mount Vernon is dotted with attempts to mitigate damage caused by visitors, scientific analysis of the dynamic impacts to the historic fabric is needed to preserve the integrity of the preeminent national house museum. The following thesis presents a holistic analysis of visitor impact and material degradation occurring at Mount Vernon.
