Andres Jaque
A.UD | 6:30 p.m., Perloff Hall
Andres Jaque, founder of Office for Political Innovation, Madrid/New York, develops architectural projects that bring inclusivity into daily life. All their architectures can be seen as durable assemblages of the diversity ordinary life is made of. The firm's work has instigated crucial debates for contemporary architecture. In 2012, the Museum of Modern Art of New York (MoMA) acquired their ‘IKEA Disobedients’ project as the first architectural performance to be part of its collection. In 2013 they presented ‘SUPERPOWERS OF TEN’ at Lisbon Architecture Triennale, ‘Different Kinds of Water Pouring into a Swimming Pool’ for RED CAT / CalArts Center for Contemporary Arts, Los Angeles, and ‘Hänsel & Gretel's Arenas’ at La Casa Encendida, in Madrid. Jaque is an Advanced Design Professor at Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation GSAPP Columbia University; a Visiting Professor at Princeton University SoA; and has lectured extensively throughout the world.
This, Not That invites thought-provoking speakers to present arguments for their respective positions, or ideological stances, toward the design of the built environment. Their arguments will be supported by presentations of their creative efforts in research, pedagogy, or professional practice. This series stages an ongoing debate around the shifting perspectives that frame creative practice.
