GUEST LECTURER: Brooklyn-based artist and designer Olalekan Jeyifous (B.Arch. '00) whose work often re-imagines social spaces around issues that explore the relationship between architecture, community, and the environment.⁣ ⁣ Jeyifous has spent over a decade creating large-scale artwork for a variety of public spaces. He was commissioned, with collaborator Amanda Williams, to create a monument for Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm as part of the City of New York’s “She Built NYC” initiative. His banner wrap for the Corcoran Garage in Durham, North Carolina received the Americans for the Arts Public Art Network Year in Review Award in 2019. He has also created a 50ft-tall sculpture for the 2017 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and 4 large sculptures for Public Square in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.⁣ ⁣ ➡️ Event details and registration -- link in bio. ⁣ ⁣ URL: https://aap.cornell.edu/news-events/olalekan-jeyifous-process-and-practice-imminence-and-immanence ⁣ ⁣ @cornell.architecture @kidcadaver @cornellalumni

⁣ "Many of us worked throughout the summer to plan, strategize, and re-invent teaching methods and course content" said Visiting Critic Marta H. Wisniewska in the Cornell Alumni news feature — Green is the New Normal: Faculty Talk about Teaching in Fall 2020 (link in bio). ⁣ ⁣ Wisniewska is co-teaching the second-year architecture design studio (Arch 2101). The studio typically begins with an investigation and design of a small residential building. In fall 2020, the students are studying the former residence of Carl Sagan, located on a cliff overlooking Fall Creek Gorge in Ithaca, NY. ⁣ ⁣ This semester, Cornell students and faculty each chose whether to participate in classes remotely, in-person, or in a hybrid mode (a mix of both). Marta opted for in-person teaching, meaning that she teaches in-person classes to students in the architecture studio, while her students who opted for online classes join the group remotely.⁣ ⁣ There are 14 students in her studio section: 9 enrolled in-person and 5 enrolled remotely.⁣ ⁣ ➡️ Read entire article — link in bio.⁣ ⁣ URL: https://alumni.cornell.edu/article/green-is-the-new-normal-faculty-talk-about-teaching-in-fall-2020/ ⁣ ⁣ @cornell.architecture @marta.h.wisniewska ⁣

The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning remembers Sid Saltzman, a former chair and longtime faculty member of the Department of City and Regional Planning, who passed away on September 23, in Ithaca, New York. ⁣ ⁣ As an educator and scholar with an active and varied career, Saltzman is remembered as a kind and collegial faculty member in CRP at a time when the field of Regional Science was evolving. He earned a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Purdue in 1946; an M.S.I.E. from Columbia University in 1951; and a Ph.D. in engineering from Cornell in 1963. Before coming to Cornell, Saltzman worked as an engineer, production planner, and operations research and systems analyst in the New York City area where he was born.⁣ ⁣ After earning his doctorate, Saltzman remained at Cornell. He was an assistant professor of operations research and industrial engineering (1963–68), and assistant director in the Office of Computer Services (1966–68). In 1968, he joined the faculty in the Department of Policy Planning and Regional Analysis as an associate professor. In 1971, he was promoted to full professor, and when two departments — Policy Planning and Regional Analysis, and Urban Planning and Development — merged in 1976 to form the Department of City and Regional Planning, Saltzman chaired the new department until 1983. Among his many awards and achievements, Saltzman was a North Atlantic Treaty Organization science faculty fellow (1974); a National Science Foundation grantee (1967–68, and 1973–75); and a senior fellow at Mathematica Policy Research in Washington DC (1980–81). He was named professor emeritus in 2009.⁣ ⁣ ➡️ Read full story — link in bio. ⁣ ⁣ URL: https://aap.cornell.edu/news-events/regional-science-pioneer-sidney-sid-saltzman-1926-2020⁣ ⁣ @Cornell_CRP @cornellurs

Architecture, Advancing Technology, and Defining Practice — Q&A with Assistant Professor of the Practice in Architecture Martin Miller — link in bio. ⁣ ⁣ Miller discusses the fast pace of working on projects in China, on collaboration and creativity, digital design tools, his advice to students today, and the thoughts that keep him up at night and inspire him in the morning.⁣ ⁣ " ...the technology that is most compelling and interesting for us is Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, two vastly undefined terms being thrown around extensively today without much understanding as to their implications. These are tools that we are still grappling with in terms of their application to architecture, but there are certainly implementations of narrow AI which we find incredibly compelling for architecture and we are exploring the application of these tools in the studios at AAP." ⁣ ⁣ Read full interview — link in bio.⁣ URL: https://aap.cornell.edu/news-events/martin-miller-qa-architecture-advancing-technology-and-defining-practice⁣ ⁣ @antistatics_architecture⁣ @cornell.architecture ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣

Ashen Cabin, by HANNAH, the design firm of architecture faculty Leslie Lok & Sasa Zivkovic, is featured in a New York Times design special report – Pavilions Inhabit the Space Between Art and Architecture. (Link in bio)⁣ ⁣ Excerpt:⁣ "In Ithaca, N.Y., the architects Leslie Lok and Sasa Zivkovic, who run a studio named Hannah, built an otherworldly 100-square-foot cabin out of 3D-printed concrete and robotically milled wood from trees infested with the emerald ash borer.⁣ ⁣ “It’s a proof of concept,” Mr. Zivkovic said. Informed by research at Cornell University, the partners had been exploring concepts related to mass customization and alternative building materials and wanted to prove that their ideas represented viable new directions in real-world construction.⁣ ⁣ “For us, it was important to have an actual small building, which meant that we had to think about how to 3D-print a fireplace, and how to 3D-print a kitchen island,” Mr. Zivkovic said. “We also had to think about insulation, windows and doors, and all of that. It’s a fully functioning building prototype.”⁣ ⁣ Now they are looking for partners in the building industry to deploy their techniques on a larger scale — “taking the next step toward residential housing,” Mr. Zivkovic said.⁣” ⁣ Read full report — link in bio⁣ ⁣ URL: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/29/style/design-outdoor-pavilion-architecture.html?searchResultPosition=1⁣ ⁣ @hannah.office @nytimes

AAP faculty explored resilient architecture through technological innovation and from multiple perspectives at , an online conference co-hosted Sept. 9-12 by AAP, Swinburne University in Melbourne and the Bartlett School of Architecture in London. ⁣ ⁣ Excerpt from Cornell Chronicle story:⁣ ⁣ “As active educators and researchers with connections to industry and practice, we discussed and debated urgent new models to make real impact in practice and to potentially change the construction industry and the making of buildings,” said Jenny Sabin, the Arthur L. and Isabel B. Wiesenberger Professor of Architecture.⁣ ⁣ Sabin co-chaired the virtual conference with Jane Burry, professor and dean of design at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia – the first time the conference has been led by two women since its inception in 2011.⁣ ⁣ Read entire article — link in bio. ⁣ ⁣ URL: https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2020/09/aap-faculty-explore-design-innovation-resilience⁣ ⁣ @fabricateconference @jennysabin @jane.burry @bartlettarchucl @ucl @uclengineering @swinburne @cornell.architecture @cornelluniversity @hannah.office @howeleryoonarchitecture ⁣
