We're excited to be a part of this event hosted by The Architecture Lobby (http://architecture-lobby.org/) on June 25 in Tampa, Florida. While this event isn't in our neighborhood, we welcome to share this with your community.
Think-In is a forum for thinking through difficult and contested ideas and invites people to debate a reconceptualization of architectural practice. The Architecture Lobby (http://architecture-lobby.org/) is an organization that devotes itself to fair labor, fair fees, and fair wages, recognizing that injustices in these areas are symptomatic of a larger, systemic problem.
We are including a wide range of contributors to weigh in on Architecture: practitioners; those involved in official architectural organizations; architectural academics; art and architecture theorists and activists.
Panelists Include:
PHIL BERNSTEIN, Autodesk
CATHY BEVERIDGE, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC
PEGGY DEAMER, Yale University and the Architecture Lobby
MELISSA MARSH, PLASTARC
JOSE RODRIGUEZ, Daniels Kashtan Attorneys at Law
MICHAEL SORKIN, Terreform
CHEIKH SYLLA, Sylla International
Facilitator: NANCY ALEXANDER
Topics to be explore include issues facing architectural practice (and the discipline itself) – increased irrelevance and marginalization, unsustainable fees and wages, misperceptions of our labor and value – are practical, cultural, and conceptual, hence the wide range of thinkers invited.
Schedule:
The day will be divided into 4 parts, each orchestrated as a debate of contested ideas about a certain topic. These 4 parts are:
ARCHITECTURE: Where in the AEC chain?
ARCHITECTURE: The Pros and Cons of Contemporary Professionalization
ARCHITECTURE: Labor, Fees, and Wages in the Contemporary Economy
ARCHITECTURE: Media and the Public Perception of Architecture
We invite those within the architectural community both professional and those in academia to come speak up while thinking through what needs to change in our profession for it to be more effective and rewarding.
