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:
