“Instead of indulging in nostalgia, or pretending to have more power than they do, architects should confront the problems already in front of them, of which there are plenty.” @maridapr thenation.com/article/cultur…

@engjoemulligan @Kounkuey @cooperhewitt @smithsonian Congrats @engjoemulligan and @Kounkuey!

so cool to be in nyc this week with @Kounkuey to receive the National Design Award for Landscape Architecture from @cooperhewitt @smithsonian among brilliant doers, thinkers, curators and makers.

WE DID IT: with a landslide margin of 1785–912, we are officially the MITGSU-UE!!! What started 4 years ago with a dozen students in an MIT classroom discussing the needs of graduate workers has culminated in this historic victory for student-workers at MIT. Now, we celebrate!

Join me at @IITArchitecture in Chicago? The IIT College of Architecture is seeking to fill two new faculty positions: a tenure-track assistant professor position and the new Rowe Fellowship for emerging academics (2-year appointment). Info on both: acsa-arch.org/opportunities/…

What's the view from your office worth? On the blog, @e_jaffe looks at the first research to measure office rental premiums on views and daylight, courtesy of @ituran + co. The work can guide commercial developers and city policy alike. medium.com/sidewalk-talk/…

Excited that my article 'Computing views, remodeling environments' is now published in Social Studies of Science @Soc_Stud_Sci. Huge thanks to Sergio Sismondo & reviewers for their valuable comments & helpful guidance. Open access version ---> journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

@nushelle The ultra-cultural read is exactly what I seek! A refreshing and inspiring alternative to the BT approach. Will dm...

@ituran haha I do need BT people critiquing my ultra-cultural read 😂 happy to share! I doubt I can offer useful feedback on your work but I'd love to reciprocate in some way. In the meantime can I interest you in a small snail mail surprise if you DM me your address? (+ email for essay)

museum friends: my paper, which worries at the question of why the problematic 20°C/50% RH climate standard still persists in museums, is now up on the working group website. It's been (constructively) challenging to write, and your critical comments are most welcome.

The article is available for free via the link above until 9/11. If you have trouble accessing it, feel free to reach out.

This work is a portion of my @MITarchitecture PhD dissertation, which I defended 1 yr ago. The research, as all academic work, is collaborative and I am grateful for the invaluable input of @andreachegut, Daniel Fink, and my advisor @CFReinhart.

Happy to share new research on urban views — (1) introducing a method for analyzing views in buildings and (2) measuring the financial value of views in Manhattan office spaces — published in Landscape and Urban Planning: lnkd.in/dQfp84h
