*The City in Our Hands*
Over this past weekend, at the Black Zine Fair, the power of DIY publications as movement- and city-building technologies was on display. In this essay, Neta Bomani and Mariame Kaba of @sojourners4justice trace a lineage of Black independent publishing from 19th-century New York to the present day and showcase titles from their reading room that illustrate the unique role and potential of DIY publishers in documenting, organizing, and shaping the city.

Meet the Reuse Exploratory Committee on Legislative Acts Impacting Materials (RECLAIM NYC), an interdisciplinary group that develops circular economy policy proposals for New York City’s construction and building removal industry, which will be part of the circularity trade fair that precedes Current Work: Toward Circular Construction, with @felix.heisel.

RECLAIM NYC is an interdisciplinary coalition working to develop circular economy policy for New York City’s construction and building removal industry. Bringing together architects, engineers, deconstructors, reclaimed material stockists, and policymakers through monthly meetings and ongoing research, the group advocates for redirecting construction and demolition waste toward higher-value, lower-impact uses. Its policy proposals aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from material use, create local jobs, and build a more resilient material supply chain for New York City.

Hear from Dan Stubbergaard, the founder of @cobearchitects, on how adaptive reuse, urban repair, and a deeply contextual approach to design can guide the regeneration of cities across scales.

🗓️ Mon, Jun 22 @ 6:30 pm
📍 The Great Hall at @thecooperunion
🎟️ Free for League members and Cooper Union students, faculty, and staff; $20 general admission.

Founded by Stubbergaard in 2006, Cobe is an architectural practice known for its work in urban regeneration and adaptive reuse. Based in Copenhagen and inspired by the Danish capital’s evolution from a port city to a global model for livability, the firm gained international attention in 2008 with its master plan reshaping Nordhavn, Copenhagen’s former industrial harbour, into a lively waterfront district. The firm has developed a widely awarded, multi-scale portfolio of projects that range from strategic master plans and cultural institutions to public spaces, united by a rigorous commitment to revitalization through design excellence, and the creation of places that are rooted, livable, and built to endure.

At this Current Work lecture, Stubbergaard will unpack Cobe’s belief that “architecture must be built for people, shaped by its context, and designed to stand the test of time,” which guides the firm’s work across urbanism, landscape design, and architecture.

This event will be moderated by Karen Stein, architectural advisor and critic.

Founded by Stubbergaard in 2006, Cobe is an architectural practice known for its work in urban regeneration and adaptive reuse. Based in Copenhagen and inspired by the Danish capital’s evolution from a port city to a global model for livability, the firm gained international attention in 2008 with its master plan reshaping Nordhavn, Copenhagen’s former industrial harbour, into a lively waterfront district. The firm has developed a widely awarded, multi-scale portfolio of projects that range from strategic master plans and cultural institutions to public spaces, united by a rigorous commitment to revitalization through design excellence, and the creation of places that are rooted, livable, and built to endure.

At this Current Work lecture, Stubbergaard will unpack Cobe’s belief that “architecture must be built for people, shaped by its context, and designed to stand the test of time,” which guides the firm’s work across urbanism, landscape design, and architecture.

This event will be moderated by Karen Stein, architectural advisor and critic.
