Talk | Architecture Talk: The In-Between State


A lecture with faculty member David Lee. Architecture and urban design’s adherence to the manipulation of physical structures as their sole means for creating holistic environments renders their practices ineffective as contemporary life no longer exists only in a physical state. New technologies — smart phones, smart glasses, high-speed transports — have given birth to a new virtual world for people to live within. As it is recognized that these technologies offer the potential for new shared democratic environments, it is argued that the current implementation of these technologies has fragmented contemporary life into discrete pockets of activity.

Film | Documentary: Johanna Hamilton's 1971 (2014)


On March 8th, 1971, eight ordinary citizens broke into an FBI office in Media, PA. Calling themselves the Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI, they removed every file in the office. Mailed anonymously, the stolen documents started to show up in newsrooms. The heist yielded a trove of damning evidence. The most significant revelation was COINTELPRO, a controversial, secret, illegal surveillance program overseen by lifelong Bureau director J. Edgar Hoover. Despite one of the largest investigations ever conducted, the FBI was unable to catch the burglars. Those responsible have never revealed their identities. Until now. For the first time the burglars have decided to speak about their actions. 1971 is their story, examining the consequences and implications of their actions - then and now.
