Agency and its Affects
M 16 November 2020 | 7:00pm ET | Zoom Webinar
The 2020 Fall Lecture and Dialogue Series concludes on Monday 16 November at 7:00pm ET as Sarosh Anklesaria presents “Agency and its Affects.” Anklesaria is an architect and educator, and currently the T. David Fitz-Gibbon professor of architecture at Carnegie Mellon.
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 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.
The Fall 2020 Lecture and Dialogue Series focuses its theme on architecture, social equity, and spatial justice. This series, and conversations and ideas that challenge and inspire us to re-envision our future, are more relevant and critically important than ever before.
Due to the current global health crisis and university policy, all events will be held in a virtual format. Events are free and open to all. Advance registration is not required; all are welcome to attend via Zoom webinar.
