Today at 6pm I will be presenting at Studio X
In the context of a discussion hosted by Professors of Urban Design at Columbia GSAPP, I will be presenting experiments with (local) tactical urbanism that I produced at SUPERFRONT and how that lead to research regarding (global) war as an architectural phenomenon.
The presentation addresses questions of global and local in terms of the ethical and imaginative territories of architectural practice, specifically as regards to the public realm. Outlining similarities between tactical urbanism and tactics of the War on Terror, the presentation includes a summary of the NYSCA-funded Black Site project and raises questions about the architectural significance of the War on Terror, as well as changing relationships between technology and territory.
