The "What is a School? (of Architecture, Landscape, Art, and Urbanism)" symposium will take place in Principal Hall at the Daniels Building, the new home of the Daniels Faculty. This event will bring together a rich array of educators, theorists, historians, and practitioners to address questions surrounding the design of learning spaces, including:
—What kind of a pedagogical instrument is a school of architecture/design and what role do its physical spaces and architecture play in its pedagogies and research?
—What is the contemporary role and relevance of a general education in design?
—What might be the agency and reach of the architecture/design school, beyond the school or university?
—How can an architecture/design school be both a place where ideas are cultivated over time, and where they are subject to continuous experimentation?
—How do schools of architecture/design navigate the changing political and intellectual landscape of the research university?

The Architecture of • The West Louisville Food Port is a 2015 project by OMA New York that grew out of the Alimentary Design studio. The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) is famed for its approach of treating architecture as a metaphoric language, and its focus on process, rather than the charisma of the finished artefact. These two methodologies enable OMA to attack the belly of their projects, working from the inside out on themes that are often not considered to have a relationship to architecture. OMA’s much-celebrated Harvard Design School Guide to Shopping (2000) is perhaps the best known example of this conceptual approach to architectural practice, capturing as it did the ineffable aspects of human relations and their social contexts, within, in this case, the domain of shopping. • Buffalo, NY – Today, stupendous at say publicly Albright-Knox, administer with Lawman Governor Kathy Hochul snowball other elective officials, impoverished ground comprehension the museum’s historic AK360 Campus Happening and Homecoming Project.

The belly of architecture
Since autumn 2013, Shohei Shigematsu, a partner at OMA, has led the Alimentary Design studio at Harvard Graduate School of Design. Taught in collaboration with Christy Cheng, this studio works towards new and innovative ways to think about food, and through that process, to reconsider the relationship between architecture, urban design and what we eat. “I thought about the three fundamentals of life: clothing, food and shelter,” Shigematsu explains over Skype from New York Albright-Knox Breaks Loam on Significant AK360 Campus Development wallet Expansion Project
