Scenes from COALITION 6: COALITION OF FILMMAKERS with Sophie Cavoulacos (MoMA), Zackary Drucker @zackarydrucker, Ed Halter (Bard College, Light Industry) @edhalter, and Ivan Lopez Munuera (Bard College) @ivanlmunuera.

This COALITION of Filmmakers discussed New York City cinematographically and architecturally as an urban constellation where public life, storytelling, and collective imagination continually reshape the built environment.

Co-curated with Ivan Lopez Munuera (Bard College), as a collaboration between Columbia GSAPP and Bard College @bardarchitecture.

We’re really excited to announce that Billy Fleming (@joobilly) will be dropping in on Bard Architecture today and giving a talk this evening. His talk will center a recent collaborative project, and the corresponding publication, ‘Building Postcarbon Futures: Land, Justice, and Energy Transitions’.

Please join us this evening at 5:30 in RKC 103 for what will be a fantastic and urgent conversation.

Thanks to Environmental Studies for co-sponsoring this event!

Tomorrow, Feb 4, we are excited to host Ife Vanable for a public lecture titled “Domesticity of the State, Black Desire(s), and Housing Schemes.”
Everyone is welcome!

IFE SALEMA VANABLE is an architect, historian, and theorist, and assistant professor of architecture at Yale School of Architecture. Her work asks questions of and seeks to unearth complex and seemingly banal relationships between the design of architecture, legal rhetoric and public policy, the performance of domesticity and respectability, and the politics, aesthetics, and materiality of the making of home, especially in the context of high-rise residential towers developed from the mid-20th century to the 1980s. Ife is trained as an architect, earning professional and post-professional degrees in architecture from Cornell and Princeton Universities and is also a PhD candidate in architectural history and theory at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP). Ife also directs i/van/able, an architectural workshop and think tank that produces theoretical, speculative, and physical interventions that defy prevailing notions of type, taste, and form. This work has been supported by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), recognized by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), and exhibited at the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale.

Please join us in the New North Campus Center, MPR at 3:30 pm.

FACULTY PROMOTION ANNOUNCEMENT!

Betsy Clifton has been a crucial part of Bard Architecture since 2022. It is a pleasure to announce her promotion to Assistant Professor of Architecture!

Betsy is a New York-based critical architectural practitioner and educator collaborating internationally in industrial, exhibition, and architectural design. Her independent work uses research and design at-scale (from speculative commercial objects to methods of property valuation) to challenge normative standards and articulate their societal impacts.

Ignacio will be speaking about recent projects and pedagogies through the theme of ‘architecture’s kinships’. Please join us this coming Wednesday evening, Sept 10, at 5pm in the Reem Kayden Center, room 103!

ARCHITECTURE AND FUTURITY: From the recent archive, here are some snapshots of student work that reflect some of the broader concerns that have been shaping our pedagogy.

Far beyond the practice of designing buildings and spaces, architecture is an incredible portal through which to sense and make sense of worlds, past and present. It is also a powerful tool with which to project other worlds into our own, mapping out the distance between injustice and justice, between the oppressive and the emancipatory. Architecture at Bard is convinced that architecture can do so much more than what it has.

ARCHITECTURE AND WORLDMAKING: Worldmaking, for us, is not only the shaping of other ways of being in space, but it starts with realizing that the tools of architecture invite us to look at the world differently: architecture as a way of seeing the world.

Architecture at Bard is convinced that architecture can do so much more than what it has.
