A few of us are starting a new architecture discussion group called discourse.

discourse is an invited forum for young, inquisitive architectural thinkers to discuss issues in theory, history, and criticism.

Each of us will curate a design topic and facilitate a discussion surrounding it. You can follow what we’re up to on our informal resource page.

Stay tuned for updates!

The opening on Friday night was great! Everyone seemed to have a good time, and I received alot of useful feedback. I’m always impressed with how varied everyone’s reactions are and how useful their input always seems to be. I think the fact the photos create such a visceral reaction makes them easy to relate to while engaging everyone’s imagination.

I had good conversations with a few people about the spatial impressions you typically receive from a photograph, as well as the various factors that add up to creating the more successful images. Colors and textures are just as influential as the spatial condition is to creating the final result. Its interesting how different the resultant effects are when the movements between the images are so similar.

Here are a few set up shots:

How do seemingly random topics relate? Let the creation of a discussion series begin.

This year we went for simple and classy, one board per student in the amazing modernist lobby of the US Steel Tower.

The crew at the tower helped hang the boards from the grid in the ceiling. Abramovitz even thought to reinforce the grid of the building with these suspension tracks. Unfortunately they never use them so I’m pretty excited we were able to make use of these nice details. The trees are there to stay, for better or worse.

Opening is tonight at 8!
