We hope that everyone is recharged and ready for the return of the semester following Kinne Week and Spring Break. This week’s highlights include a talk by Milan-based Piovenefabi, a lecture by LA-based dancers/visual artists Gerard & Kelly, and the lecture and discussion event Health Equity: Shaping Just Societies.

This week also marks the opening of the exhibition The Metropolis in Latin America, 1830-1930 on March 21 at the Americas Society. Faculty Luis E. Carranza and Galia Solomonoff will participate in a discussion related to the event on March 19 at the Center for Architecture.

Finally, a listening diversion: Tran Thi Ngu Ngon of Tropical Space talks about building homes for lower and middle income Vietnamese on the latest episode of GSAPP’s Constructing Practice Podcast Series. Listen on Soundcloud or iTunes.
