Join us April 1 at 6pm ET for our next ACSA webinar: “Culturally Responsive Teaching: Providing an Equitable Architectural Education” featuring ACSA Director of Research and Information Kendall Nicholson @kan8g.

As educators, our mission is to ensure that every student can succeed. As a discipline, architecture often prioritizes the “product,” and the “place” before considering the “people”. This lecture will share the theoretical framework originally established by Gloria Ladson-Billings in her efforts to reach students from diverse backgrounds, and the tangible strategies necessary for validating students’ voices. By developing a socio-political consciousness, Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) empowers faculty to engage students in ways that architects should engage the public.

Join us April 9th for the next ACSA workshop: “Alternative Frameworks for Architectural Practice: The Cooperative Network”.

This workshop explores the potential of cooperative models in architecture, which espouse collaboration in lieu of competition. These models leverage resource and knowledge distribution as alternatives to prevailing free-market modes of contemporary practice. By rethinking the profession in terms of the social, economic, and political potential offered by these practices, architects may foreground care over profit and commonized use-values over exchange values in order to create more equitable, just, and livable communities. In this workshop, members of the Architecture Lobby guide attendees through a series of explorations to collectively deepen our understanding of cooperative models in architectural practice.

Next Friday evening, we welcome Johnpaul Jones, the recipient of the Tau Sigma Delta Honor Society in Architecture and Allie’s Arts Gold Medal.

Johnpaul Jones has a distinguished 52-year career as an architect and founding partner of Jones & Jones. Earning his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Oregon in 1967, his design philosophy emerged from his Choctaw-Cherokee ancestors, which connects his work to the natural world, animal world, spirit world, and human world.
Mr. Jones’ designs have won widespread acclaim for their reverence for the earth, for paying deep respect to regional Indigenous architectural traditions and native landscapes, and for heightening understanding of Indigenous People and their diverse Native cultures of America. Johnpaul has led the design of numerous cultural centers and museums with tribes spanning the North American continent, culminating in his 12-year engagement as overall lead design consultant for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian on the Mall in Washington, D.C. #johnpauljones #ACSA109 #keynotespeaker #109closingkeynote #tausigmadelta

The #ACSA109 OPENING KEYNOTE: EXPANDING THE VIEW OF THE PROFESSION

We kick off the 109th ACSA Annual Meeting with a panel of speakers from the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) to discuss their efforts to double the number of Black architects by 2030 and what change in the academy and the profession is happening now and needs to happen urgently.
