AIA Dean's Conference
School Director Edward Mitchell and M-Arch Graduate Student Lamia Albunni attended the AIA Large Firm Roundtable (LFRT) in Minneapolis last week. Founded in 1984, the Large Firm Roundtable is an independent entity composed of 60 of the nation's largest architectural firms, representing approximately 245,000 employees worldwide and more than $70 billion in annual construction value. The organization meets twice a year to discuss industry trends, best practices, leadership development, and administration.
Ed Mitchell, along with other deans/chairs from Architecture Schools were invited to participate in a forum to discuss academic trends, exchange ideas, and provide academic perspective. Issues discussed in the dean’s forum included minority recruitment, the impact that Covid has had on students, and preparing students for future big-picture issues.
The student panel spoke to the deans and industry leaders to report their experiences and issues during post-covid, views on the current pedagogy and their expectations for their future place and the industry they hope to build. Lamia reported that the forum was a powerful platform that allowed the students to have a voice in the discussion by establishing a dialogue with the industry leaders' shared objective of striving for a better future for architecture in America.

Kiel Moe, FAIA, FAAR (UC B.Arch 2001)
Lecture 11/02/2022
4:30 PM, DAAP Room 5401
Kiel Moe is a registered practicing architect who graduated from SAID with his B-Arch is 2001. His research and pedagogy focuses on an agenda for design and energy that is at once more ecologically and architecturally ambitious. As such, he focuses on both buildings as manifestations of large scale energy systems as well as overlooked and discrete thermal parameters in buildings that yet have great impact on the power and thermodynamic depth of architecture. This research is the basis for his design research and his design practice. In recognition of his design and research, he was the 2009-10 Gorham P. Stevens Rome Prize Fellow in Architecture as well as the 2012 & 2014 Barbara and Andrew Senchak Fellow MacDowell Colony. He received the 2013 Boston Design Biennial award, the 2011 Architecture League of New York Prize, the 2011 AIA National Young Architect award, and numerous design awards for individual projects from the AIA, North American Wood Design Awards, and Boston Society of Architects, among others. The poster can be found here.

De Peter Yi
Lecture Held 10/19/2022
De Peter Yi joined the School of Architecture and Interior Design at DAAP as a new tenure-track Assistant Professor this past fall. His work finds design agency at the intersection of the social and the formal, from the scale of material details to the scale of the urban environment and beyond.
The last few years have propelled a societal awakening around issues of equity, environment, and care that has simultaneously given designers a new urgency. How might we respond and work alongside contexts, audiences, and modes of engagement that previous models of practice have overlooked? In response, "Matrix to Parts" posits a design framework that scales both up and down from an emphasis on the single building to explore how systems of designed interventions create new forms of design agency. If you missed the lecture, it can be viewed here.
