OPENING RECEPTION:
SEPT 12, 2012
6:30-8:30pm

This is a critical moment for the re-thinking of the object of architecture, approaching architectural discourse critically; questioning the very boundaries of Architecture itself.
The innovative and visionary work produced in the Advanced Design Studio, while exploring specific problems, simultaneously addresses the question of the place and relevance of the problem in architectural discourse.
On view from September 12 - September 21, 2012

Lydia Muniz, Director of the Bureau of Overseas Building, and Casey Jones, Director of Design Excellence, will outline the U.S. State Department's new Design Excellence program. The product of an extensive two-year interdepartmental and interdisciplinary study, the Design Excellence program emphasizes an integrative approach to site selection, architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and engineering. A major project in design during this transitional time at the OBO is the new U.S. Embassy in London. Architects James Timberlake and Stephen Kieran will discuss their initial competition-winning scheme and subsequent design development for the new embassy, including the goal for the new complex, responsive both to environmental and programmatic concerns, to "provide a street-level experience while respecting the urban texture of the existing landscape." Participants: Casey Jones, Director of Design Excellence, U.S. State Department Lydia Muniz, Director, Bureau of Overseas Building, U.S. State Department Stephen Kieran, KieranTimberlake Moderated by James S. Russell, architecture critic at Bloomberg News Co-sponsored by the Architectural League of New York and the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter.

The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture and American Institute of Architects New York Chapter will present Unfinished Spaces, an award-winning new documentary by Alysa Nahmias and Benjamin Murray. Cuba's ambitious National Art Schools project, designed by three young artists in the wake of Castro's Revolution, is neglected, nearly forgotten, then ultimately rediscovered as a visionary architectural masterpiece. A round-table discussion with Diana Agrest, Pablo Castro, Unfinished Spaces co-creators Benjamin Murray and Alysa Nahmias, and moderated by Pablo Lorenzo-Eiroa will explore the impact of architecture on social revolution and the role of revolution in shaping architectural expression.
