AGENCY AND ITS AFFECTS The lecture unpacks the means and affects of architectural agency across a range of scales and geographies – from architectures implicated in the planetary production of food – to itinerant pavilions for less regarded modernist histories.

SAROSH ANKLESARIA is an architect and educator, and currently the T. David Fitz-Gibbon professor of architecture at Carnegie Mellon.

Anklesaria has worked as an architect with Diller Scofidio + Renfro, NYC, Herzog & de Meuron, Basel, and B.V. Doshi, Ahmedabad. He has taught architecture at Yale University, the School of Architecture at Taliesin (SOAT), Cornell University, the Pratt Institute, and Syracuse University. Recently, his work has been supported by the Richard Rogers Fellowship from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, the Taliesin Fellowship, and the Art Omi Architecture Residency. His work considers an expansive notion of architectural agency, one that synthesizes architecture’s formal and tectonic capacities with questions of socio-ecological pertinence.
