anemptytextllineLecture date: 1998-11-24 Reinhold Martin outlines the emergence of 'organisation' as a theoretical category in architecture during the post-war period in the US within a conjunction of power and knowledge dedicated to decentralised, self-regulating networks and control systems. The talk examines connections between the discourse of mathematician and originator of cybernetics Norbert Weiner, and an aesthetic and architectural discourse associated with figures such as Siegfried Giedion and Gyorgy Kepes, emphasising the theoretical and epistemological significance of the reflexive logics of self-correction. Reinhold Martin is Associate Professor of Architecture at Columbia University. A founding editor of the journal Grey Room, he holds a PhD from Princeton University, as well as degrees from the AA and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is also a partner in the firm of Martin/Baxi Architects. source

anemptytextllineOver two days, fostering dialogue between social scientists and spatial thinkers, an interdisciplinary gathering of scholars will explore the relationship between physical and institutional structures. How is institutional power manifested in the built environment? How does space bear the mark of bureaucratic networks, typological assumptions, lived experiences? How are different forms of power—aesthetic, political, economic, even insurgent—made manifest across boundaries and scales? The keynote lecture, at 6:30 on 4/2, is by Reinhold Martin, author of The Organizational Complex (MIT Press, 2001). Cambridge Talks is the annual conference organized by students in the PhD Program at Harvard GSD. source -

anemptytextllineReinhold Martin, author of The Organizational Complex (MIT Press, 2003), will present the keynote lecture for "Cambridge Talks IX: Inscriptions of Power; Spaces, Institutions, and Crisis." Beginning but not ending with Michel Foucault’s elusive, omnipresent “power-knowledge” couplet, this talk will examine the aesthetic and technical properties of certain infrastructures through which this couplet is manifest. These infrastructures, which could be called architectural, will mainly be found in research universities in the United States during the late nineteenth century, with genealogical ties to the business corporation. I will try, however, also to show the limits of transferring the Foucauldian analytic directly onto architecture as commonly construed. Likewise for the “new materialism” that has more recently shed significant light on the multifarious life of “things.” Instead, a “gay science” of corporate power, centered on the university, can only arise during those brief intervals when architecture appears, repeatedly, as one among many media. source

anemptytextllineIntroduction: Rixt Woudstra Moderator: Reinhold Martin Panelists: Peter Eisenman, Thomas Vreeland In our third panel we will discuss how this topic was revisited in CASE 8, which highlighted the group’s interest on psychology and form, particularly as led by Rowe and Slutzky. This meeting, organized in New York and hosted by MoMA, led to the production of the polemical Five Architects book. Yet while some members were interested in exploring form as an autonomous language, others increasingly mined history as a formal resource. Parallel, or perhaps core to this discussion, was the construction of the discipline as a theoretical endeavor, in opposition to a focus on architecture as practice. These different positions came to a head in an event organized and populated by CASE members: “The Whites and the Grays” conference, which also pointed to the tensions between east and west coast practices as well as disagreements between the faction who preferred “practice” as opposed to “theory”. source

anemptytextllineThe CCA presents Toolkit 2016, a two-week summer seminar for PhD candidates from around the world, devoted to “Keywords for the Environment.” We invited four scholars coming from different disciplines—architecture history, environmental humanities, media studies and landscape architecture—to present key concepts of contemporary debates. http://www.cca.qc.ca/en/explore?event=41777 The second Toolkit 2016 presentation is by Reinhold Martin, on Power. Reinhold Martin is a Professor of Architecture at Columbia University, and a co-founding editor of the journal Greyroom. He is currently working on the material, architectural, and urban history of knowledge infrastructures, and on the contemporary city under globalization. source

anemptytextllineColumbia GSAPP faculty and students gather to discuss, organize, and plan for changes to come during the Trump administration. The series continues with special guests throughout the semester. The policies of the Trump administration will influence how architects, planners, and designers can plan for and build sustainable and functional housing and infrastructure. A number of existing regulations and programs, from funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to the Obama administration's Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) rule, are currently at risk. On March 24th, GSAPP faculty and students will reflect on the range of ways that the Trump administration could dismantle the administrative state and impose or rescind policies that limit progressive contributions to infrastructure and the built environment. By contextualizing what is at risk of being undone, the panelists also consider potential avenues for resistance through emphasizing what is worth protecting in the new administration. Speakers Vishaan Chakrabarti, Associate Professor, Columbia GSAPP, and Founder, Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU). Laurie Hawkinson, Professor, Columbia GSAPP, and Partner, Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architects (SMH+). Reinhold Martin, Professor, Columbia GSAPP, and Director, Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture. Valerie Stahl, PhD student, Columbia GSAPP, Urban Planning. This event is presented in connection with the Buell Center's ongoing research project, "Power: Infrastructure in America." Organized by Columbia GSAPP. source
