The family of adjunct faculty member Matthew Plecity made the news in a feature on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s website. His wife Natalie, a landscape architect, and their children transformed the front yard of their Squirrel Hill home into a public art installation using survey flagging tape. At a time when people are feeling “bound” in their homes, these installations are a way to bring people together, while maintaining physical distancing.

The spring 2024 public programs emphasize architects as mediators negotiating disparate modes of thought, creating common ground, and mitigating harm. We discuss how our work addresses critical sites and debates in the world around us; what it takes to articulate our values and stand by them.
