What's Happening...

Emerging Architect Award

Congratulations to Saakshi Terway (M-Arch, '17) who was recently named as the recent recipient of the 2022 AIA / DC Emerging Architect’s Award. This award recognizes individuals of all ages who have shown exceptional leadership and made significant contributions to the profession in an early stage of their architectural career.
Ms.Terway is a licensed architect from India currently working as a Designer at Wiencek + Associates Architects + Planners, Washington DC. As an emerging professional, she has contributed to many featured multi-family, senior living, and affordable housing projects where she has been fully engaged from conceptual design through construction administration. Her interests lie in the social impact that responsible and sustainable architecture can have on local and global communities. She seeks to produce work that allows architecture and design to become a tool in empowering marginalized groups and encouraging them to question the built environments around them.

ACSA Showcase

Check out the first installment of ACSA's (Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture) 2022 Study Architecture Fall Student Showcase series! The purpose of the showcase is to give students an insight into what it is like to study architecture by taking a closer look at student thesis and capstone work from 2022. Throughout this series, work from recent graduates of ACSA member schools across the globe, highlighting a wide array of unique architectural explorations. This week's thesis projects look at the intersection of architecture and climate change, specifically as it relates to sea level rise.
Check out the talented 2022 M-Arch graduate Christine Sima's thesis that is featured on the site, Rising Seas: Cataloging Architectural Response in the Conch Republic.  Notice that her artwork was chosen to be used on the header of the website. Congrats to Christine!

Jennifer Bonner

Lecture recording can be viewed 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.

Todd Gannon

Lecture held 10/12/2022
Todd Gannon is the Robert S. Livesey Professor of Architecture at the Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture. Todd and School Director Ed Mitchell discussed Todd's latest book, Figments of Architectural Imagination.
