The sixth session of LOUDREADERS welcomes three platforms run by students for the presentation and diffusion of discourses. Carnegie Mellon University inter·punct, The School of Architecture at Taliesin WASH Magazine, and University of Nebraska-Lincoln Fold exchange questions, strategies, and projections.

inter·punct is a platform for ideas, theory, and discourse - sometimes about architecture and sometimes at its periphery. The group was founded by students at Carnegie Mellon University in 2011.

WASH is a magazine that collects and distills the monsoon of disorderly ideas about Architecture. WASH is an independent magazine created at the School of Architecture at Taliesin.

Fold is a curatorial and publishing platform formed by graduate students of the College of Architecture at UNL. Fold brings in an experimental setting cultural production of serious gravitas. Fold presents positions and discourses on contemporary architecture, popular culture and art.

Sat 09 May | 5:00pm EST | online

The discussion takes place via zoom meeting and will be livestreamed on Facebook live.

About the LOUDREADERS Conversation Series
Making the most out of staying safe at home during quarantine, Nathalie Frankowski and Cruz García of WAI Architecture Think Tank created a series of weekly online sessions that each feature a different LOUDREADER. Each LOUDREADER will select a book or a series of books as background to discuss urgent positions on the state of architecture, urbanism, art, and culture with a live-audience through a Zoom-meeting format. Produced in collaboration with inter·punct, these events will be a great opportunity for students and faculty to interact with practitioners, architects, designers, thinkers, authors, and artists from around the globe.
