The Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation’s summer lecture series will feature two Institute-relevant events in July: those of you who enjoyed our May 6th Breakfast Club on MoMA’s Rising Currents show may be interested to know that Columbia faculty from three of the design teams (nARCHITECTS, Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis, and SCAPE) will discuss their participation in the show at 12:00 PM on Wednesday, July 21; and at 12:30 PM on Wednesday, July 28, IfUD Fellow Kate Orff will take part in a discussion with artist Mary Miss on the City as a Living Laboratory.

Institute fellows gathered at the Center for Architecture in New York this morning for the eighth Breakfast Club, which brought together representatives of all five of the design teams from MoMA’s Rising Currents and members of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The USACE opened with a discussion of the political realities of getting things done on the ground, and Guy Nordenson of Guy Nordenson & Associates gave a brief presentation on the proposals generated by the design teams. A lively conversation between both sides and Institute fellows followed. Take a look at our Facebook page for photos of the event.
Finally, a big thanks goes out to all of the presenters: Ben Abelman (SCAPE), Matthew Baird (Matthew Baird Architects), Stephen Cassell (ARO), Steve Couch (USACE), Donald Cresitello (USACE), Susannah Drake (dLand Studio), Dr. Thomas J. Hodson (USACE), Noah Levy (nARCHITECTS), Guy Nordenson (Guy Nordenson & Associates), and Gena Wirth (SCAPE).
