Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Exhibition

Liam Young: New Romance opens March 30 at Ross Architecture Gallery

Opening Reception and Discussion
March 30, 2017, 6:30pm

The Arthur Ross Architecture Gallery at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (Columbia GSAPP) presents Liam Young: New Romance, the first U.S. solo exhibition of speculative architect, artist, and filmmaker Liam Young.

Presenting three new short fiction films—In the Robot Skies (2016), Where the City Can’t See (2016), and the debut of Renderlands (2017)—the exhibition charts Young’s recent explorations of cinematic narrative as a form of architectural representation and design. Liam Young: New Romance is on view from March 30 through May 13, 2017.

Thursday, March 30
6:30pm, Wood Auditorium, Avery Hall
Panel Discussion with Liam Young, Cristina Goberna, Julia Kaganskiy, Tim Maughan, and Irene Sunwoo
7:30pm, Ross Gallery, Buell Hall

Opening Reception
Friday, March 31, 7:00pm
e-flux, 311 E. Broadway
I Spy with my Machine Eye, audio-visual performance by Liam Young

The three films are screened on a loop in a purpose-built cinema inside the gallery. The installation also includes specialized props developed by Young, as well as materials and research that helped shape the fictional worlds encompassed in each film.

Liam Young has emerged as one of the most distinctive and adventurous voices in contemporary architecture. At the core of his multidisciplinary practice is a continuous interrogation of the present realities of cities. Through research expeditions, documentary film and photography, storytelling, and performance he extrapolates and exaggerates existing networks, systems, and technologies to imagine possible future urbanisms.

The exhibition reveals Young’s emerging engagement with narrative film—and in particular world building, the design of a cinematic universe in which a narrative evolves—as an architectural medium. The exhibited films also demonstrate his ground-breaking experimentation with new technologies.

Young deploys autonomous drones (In the Robot Skies), manipulates laser scanning and data (Where the City Can’t See), and mines the digital detritus of the global industry of outsourced renderings (Renderlands) to create new worlds where speculative scenarios unfold. Harnessing fiction and visualization technologies to craft urban imaginaries, the trio of films expand our understanding of how architectural design can uncover potential urban futures.

Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Event

Columbia University hosts “Building Intelligence Project” Think Tank in Toronto, Canada

Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) will present the Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C-BIP) seventh international think tank on Mar 8, 2012, at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto, Canada.

Leading educators, architects, engineers, fabricators, contractors, owners, and other industry experts will gather to explore solutions that could change the building industry for the better as part of the Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C-BIP). C-BIP works with the premise that we cannot change the future of the architecture/engineering/construction industry without transforming the education of future leaders, which begins with a renewed engagement between academia and industry.

The Columbia Building Intelligence Project is made possible by the generous support and collaboration of Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™.

Canada is the source for an abundance of material, manufacturing and production-related resources used by the North American building industry. The efficiency of supply pipelines—coupled with the sustainable use of natural resources—is a concern central to the future of the global building industry. Canada’s flow of materials such as metals, timber and minerals, coupled with an expanding sustainable agricultural and power industry, provide the building industry economy with a steady supply of the tools and elements of development.

Unique to Canada is the extent of consolidation, based on traditional financial models, that at the national scale provide a vibrant snapshot of global flows of resources. At the Toronto C-BIP think tank entitled “Vectored Resources”, the critical roles of material suppliers, manufacturing, production and global supply chains in the construction of the built environment will be explored through a study of how these vectors manifest in the Canadian industry.

Participants have been asked to rethink the future of the building industry in four 60-minute sessions of short presentations followed by roundtable discussions. The first session, “Materials + Process”, will analyze raw materials and material processing and the methodologies involved in procuring and delivering them to the building industry.

The second session, “Assemblies + Systems”, will focus on the integration of manufactured components into systems for deployment into elements of the built environment. Session three, “Design + Development”, will explore methods of developing performative design through rethinking the construction process. The final session, “Development + Policy”, will attempt to relate urban policy vectors to the establishment and development of supply chain efficiencies.

Among the speakers and moderators who will participate are:

Leading educators, architects, engineers, fabricators, contractors, owners, and other industry experts will gather to explore solutions that could change the building industry for the better as part of the Columbia Building Intelligence Project (C-BIP). The event is an open dialogue that simultaneously pushes today’s industry leaders to think differently and informs educators on trends that could transform how the next generation of professionals are educated.

C-BIP works with the premise that we cannot change the future of the architecture/engineering/ construction industry without transforming the education of future leaders, which begins with a renewed engagement between academia and industry. The Columbia Building Intelligence Project is made possible by the generous support of Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope™.

The C-BIP New York Think Tank, entitled “(Re)Searching Knowledge” is open to the public, by reservation, and will take place on February 18, 2011, from 9:30 am–5:00 pm at The Center for Architecture, Tafel Hall, located at 536 LaGuardia Place, New York City (212-683-0023). http://cfa.aiany.org

Participants have been asked to re-think the future of the building industry in four 90-minute sessions of short pecha-kucha style presentations followed by roundtable discussions. The first session, “Design/Integrate” will focus on relationships and potential conflicts between design as a creative act and the industry trend toward high levels of integration even at the early stages of building projects.

The second session, “Interoperability / Interactivity” will explore the PlaNYC mandate to reduce the carbon footprint of New York City by 30% by 2030 and addresses the broader technical, professional and political issues of sharing information and integrating data when city agencies, industry professionals and the citizens of an entire city are challenged to collectively achieve a measured goal.

Session three, “Exploration/Exploitation” will examine the novel use of computational tools like simulation and optimization to explore both quantitative and qualitative aspects of design and construction. The final session, “Virtual/Physical” will look at the differences and distinct advantages of virtual working environments and physical face-to-face contact in the context of building industry collaboration.

C-BIP is a three-year pilot project comprised of local and international Think Tanks along with the Integrated Design Studios (IDS) and research seminars at the GSAPP. The project was launched in the fall of 2009 with a Think Tank in New York followed by a second in London in June 2010, and a third in Tokyo in November 2010.

“The Columbia Building Intelligence Project supports a series of integrated studios and public conversations devoted to advancing the dialogue about the building industry.
