Building project
Students in the Jim Vlock First Year Building Project returned to the site in New Haven’s Fair Haven Heights for the third summer in a row, adding one more home to the new campus of Friends Center for Children, an early childhood education organization. In addition to providing housing for a teacher, students were tasked with providing a community space for the use of the entire “village.” This year, building project director Adam Hopfner ’99MArch is joined on site by assistant director Louis Koushouris ’23MArch. The house debuted at an open house on October 3, shortly before the new educators moved in.
Architectural criticism
On October 30–31, a symposium focused on the built environment invited critics across disciplines to ask whether, and how, acts of public-facing writing might help build new forms of collective dialogue. Organized by assistant professor David Sadighian ’07, ’10MEnvD, director of communications AJ Artemel ’14MArch, and students Izzy Kornblatt ’27PhD and Jaime Solares Carmona ’28PhD, “Criticism in the New Commons” included a keynote lecture by art critic Hal Foster; a panel featuring journalists, bloggers, and editors; and a workshop on editing, pitching, and starting publications.
