Columbia GSAPP is pleased to announce the formation of the new Center for Resilient Cities and Landscapes directed by Kate Orff, Associate Professor and Director of GSAPP’s Architecture and Urban Design program, with Managing Director Thaddeus Pawlowski. The Center’s inaugural project will be the creation of a groundbreaking Resilience Accelerator in partnership with 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) – pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation.

On Thursday, February 15, the Spring 2018 Core Lecture Series continues with a talk by artist Thomas Demand. Antonio Cruz of Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos will deliver the Paul S. Byard Memorial Lecture on Monday, February 19.

This event brings together artists, urbanists, and architects working in New York City and around the world to discuss how policing, the legacy of urban renewal, and other disruptive pressures of the modern neo-liberal city disrupt black urban mobility.
