The AIA’s inaugural Intersections Between Academy and Practiceconference earlier this month focused on the nexus between architectural education and practice—specifically, how applied research can directly advance the practice of architecture. Scott lectured on the Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C BIP), a research program designed to explore new forms of technology-enabled collaborative design workflows within architectural education. C BIP is comprised of integrated design studios supported by local and international think tanks along with and research seminars at GSAPP.
After a year-long sabbatical, Karen is back at Barnard in her role of Department Chair and is teaching the Design III studio, Resources for an Urban World, set to travel to Istanbul this fall. Scott is also back at school, teaching Workflow: Designing Industry, a seminar at GSAPP to rethink the future of architectural practice.
Scott Marble will be participating in the upcoming Working Models Forum, a 3-day event of panel discussions, presentations, a prototyping charette, and an exhibition.
Hosted by FARMM, the Facility for Architectural Research in Media and Mediation research hub at McGill University School of Architecture, the forum will address architectural discourse’s shift from formal to informational concerns, and the computational technologies that enable us to “collectively consider the limiting and enabling impacts of technics on our ability to judge, invent, and act together.”
Scott Marble has been selected for the William Lyon Somerville Visiting Lectureship position at the University of Calgary, Faculty of Environmental Design (EVDS). He will conduct a workshop and give a public lecture at the Downtown Campus on January 8.
Design Matters is a thought provoking lecture series, organized by the Faculty of Environmental Design (EVDS), that brings to Calgary a range of important speakers who will explore design in our contemporary culture. Lectures are delivered from September to April, and feature provocative speakers who examine issues in architecture, urban design, product design, and landscape ecology. The series challenges the University community and the public to broaden their thinking on a myriad of issues related to design. Design Matters is also an opportunity to engage with interested citizens, students, public officials, urban planners, designers, architects and many others. Design Matters engages people who want to learn, understand and address design issues affecting our community.
Design Matters with Scott Marble will weave together his recent work around the theme of workflows as a practitioner, writer and teacher. It will include a presentation of projects by Marble Fairbanks, excerpts from his new book and a synopsis of his research project at Columbia University, the Columbia Building Intelligence Project.
