MARCH AT GSAPP
This month at GSAPP blah blah begins with the intensity of final reviews, turning classrooms into sites of shared inquiry and collective testing. Surrounding this momentum, a set of exhibitions, recognitions, and public programs expands the School’s reach. Projects led by faculty and alumni in Venice, Florence, Germany, and Chile show how design and research operate trans-locally, producing encounters and tensions that keep reconfiguring the GSAPP ecosystem. |

INAUGURAL GSAPP WORLD ACTIONING SUMMIT IN SEOUL
March 14, 10:30am
Seoul, Korea
On Saturday March 14, the inaugural GSAPP World Actioning Summit will take place in Seoul, Korea.
Although the need to move beyond a world structured by extractivism is widely acknowledged, the ways in which the built environment can actively enable relations of coexistence and care remain insufficiently addressed. Aligned with GSAPP’s commitment to bridging the gap between critical thinking and action, the World Actioning Coalition will serve as a catalyst for collective thinking, strategic intervention, and transdisciplinary collaboration between architects, economists, planners, artists, curators, researchers, engineers, academics, and all those shaping the built environment.
Speakers throughout the day will include: David Benjamin ’05 M.Arch (GSAPP, the living), Minsuk Cho ’92 M.Arch (MASS Studies), Rachaporn Choochuey ’98 MSAAD ((all)zone), Jong Ho Hong (SNU), Nahyun Hwang (GSAPP, NHDM), Dean Andrés Jaque (GSAPP), Lydia Kallipoliti (GSAPP, ANAcycle), Mireia Luzzarága (GSAPP, TAKK), Bart-Jan Polman ’10 MSAAD (GSAPP), Philippe Rahm (GSAPP, Philippe Rahm architectes), Wang Shu & Lu Wenyu (amateur architecture studio), Shirley Surya (M+), Marc Tsurumaki (GSAPP, LTL Architects), Mark Wasiuta (GSAPP), Weiping Wu (GSAPP), and many others.

CCCP Lecture: Stan Douglas
March 26, 6:30pm
Wood Auditorium
Please join us for a lecture by the artist Stan Douglas, followed by a conversation with Felicity Scott and Mark Wasiuta.
Since the 1980s, Stan Douglas (b. 1960) has created films, photographs, and other multidisciplinary projects that investigate the parameters of their respective mediums. His ongoing inquiry into technology’s role in image making, and how those mediations infiltrate and shape collective memory, has resulted in works that are at once specific in their historical and cultural references and broadly accessible.

A Public Symposium: Making and Unmaking Property
March 13, 12pm
Fayerweather 209
Organized by Buell Fellows Sonali Dhanpal and Chelsea Spencer, with concluding remarks by Kalyani Ramnath (Columbia).
This symposium asks how property is made and unmade—not just through legal instruments or physical acts of seizure but also, crucially, through architectural objects and processes. It will bring together architectural historians with scholars of racial capitalism, colonialism, and law to illuminate new questions about how architecture and property are co-constituted across symbolic, social, spatial, and material registers.
