J. Meejin Yoon named Cornell's next AAP Dean


J. Meejin Yoon (B.Arch. '95) will return to Cornell as the next dean of the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP), Provost Michael Kotlikoff announced July 23.

Yoon is currently the head of the architecture department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's School of Architecture and Planning.



American architect J. Meejin Yoon, cofounder of the Boston-based firm Höweler + Yoon (with partner Eric Höweler) and currently head of the architecture department at MIT's School of Architecture and Planning, has been named the next architecture dean at Cornell University.

As you may know, I have been at MIT for 17 years and been serving as the Department Head for the past four. MIT is an incredible place and has supported and influenced me in so many ways. It is hard to imagine life after MIT.

Starting January 2019, I will be starting as Dean of AAP at Cornell, which is where I studied as an undergrad, where I first encountered architecture, and where Eric and I met. We still have fond memories of Cornell, and we believe in the program, the college,...

Wood Urbanism

Resim
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.
