Six architects among MacDowell Fellows for summer 2018


Every year, the MacDowell Colony's prestigious arts fellowship welcomes more than 300 artists from across the U.S. and worldwide to produce original works. Out of 978 applications, a diverse group of 84 artists were awarded $10,000 MacDowell Fellowships for a summer residency.

Located in a remote environment in Peterborough, New Hampshire, the MacDowell Colony offers the peace and quiet that many artists need when working on something new. During their stay, the fellows work in a private studio for a period of up to eight weeks. 

Among the MacDowell Fellows for this summer are Pulitzer Prize-winning author Andrew Sean Greer, poet Monica Youn, filmmakers João Rui Guerra da Mata and João Pedro Rodrigues, visual artist Mary Lum, architects Bryony Roberts, Maxi Spina, and Archinect's Anthony Morey(!), to name just a few. This year's fellows come from 18 U.S. states and six countries, and 56 percent of them are women.

Wood Urbanism: From the Molecular to the Territorial Daniel Ibañez, Jane Hutton, Kiel Moe (Editors) Actar Publishers , November 2019 Hardcover | 8 x 10-1/4 inches | 488 pages | English | ISBN: 978-1945150814 | $54.95 PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION : Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in cont

Building a gentrification early warning system with big data

Resim
But what if there were a way to see gentrification long before the coffee shops, condos and Whole Foods appear? What if city planners and neighborhoods had an early warning system that could sniff out the changes just as they begin? [...] neighborhood advocates would have the opportunity to implement policies ranging from reserving affordable housing units to educating residents of their renting rights to helping small businesses negotiate long-term lease extensions. In his NPR piece, astrophysics professor Adam Frank explains how various big data sets, like housing prices, eviction records, census data, or social media usage, can be utilized for "predictive analytics" to detect early onsets of gentrification for specific neighborhoods at an increasingly high resolution — and what significant perils come with it.
