Bjarke Ingels: Plan for the Planet

Introduction: Professor Dr. Ingeborg Rocker
Moderated Q&A

Wednesday, February 15th, 6pm
The Temple, 1589 Peachtree Rd

The Lecture is Open to the Public.

Founded by BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group in 2022 and led by a group of industry experts, the Plan for the Planet Foundation aims to address the fundamental challenges of energy, transport, industry, biodiversity, resources, pollution, water, food, and prosperous living conditions for a world with up to 10 billion inhabitants. The purpose of the Foundation is to present an actionable overview of what it would actually take to stop the net emission of greenhouse gasses, and to get an idea of the practical implications of the ultimate goal, a 100 percent sustainable human presence on planet Earth. This initiative is our approach to thinking bigger and connecting the sustainable ambitions of our built environment from the small scale to the planetary scale as evidenced through our work.

The Digital Consortium is a shared platform for doctoral students worldwide. The principle behind the Digital Consortium is that it no longer makes sense to have individual professors in individual classrooms teaching individual groups of students, now that it has become obvious that we can all connect online in a single global classroom. The Digital Consortium is not intended as an exclusive club for elite institutions, but rather as an inclusive platform for doctoral students worldwide. The Digital Consortium aims to bring you the very best experts in the world and to establish a doctoral platform for discussion where everyone can come together and debate ideas, like some form of the global brain. Invited speakers include Slavoj Zizek, Erin Manning, Sanford Kwinter, Manuel DeLanda, Ana Maria Duran Calisto, Achim Menges, Philippe Block, Mike Xie, Roland Snooks, Mette Thomsen, Masoud Akbarzadeh and others.

Library exhibit about Bauhaus-educated founder of Industrial Design at Georgia Tech: From Aurich to Atlanta!

Georgia Institute of Technology Library is hosting a first-of-its-kind exhibit (it opened March 22) at the Library’s new gallery space. There are also virtual events in April in conjunction with the exhibit.

The basics:
The exhibit, From Aurich to Atlanta (based on the book of the same name), showcases the life and work of Bauhaus-educated designer Hin Bredendieck in both English and his native German. Additionally, the Library will hold a virtual panel discussion with his former students on April 3, a virtual curator conversation with Dr. Rainer Stamm of the Oldenburg State Museum for Art and Cultural History on April 8, and a virtual book talk with Stamm and his co-author Gloria Kopnick April 25.
Full information on the exhibit, virtual events, and Bredendieck is at https://www.library.gatech.edu/from-aurich-to-atlanta.

All events are free and open to the public. This is new territory for the Library, which recently completed a six-year, multimillion-dollar renovation -- including the gallery space and theater in which we’ll hold the panel discussion. We’re hoping this will be the first in a long line of art and history exhibits we’re able to bring to Georgia Tech and the community.

How can design be a bridge from good ideas to meaningful policy solutions? As we anticipate the next wave of devices and systems that will enhance our daily lives and well-being, there is a need to pause and consider the impact of technology on inequality. Designer and qualitative researcher Dr. Christina Harrington will discuss community-based approaches to design for equity and inclusion. In her research, she uses design to explore constructs of empowerment and access among communities that have been marginalized along multiple dimensions of identity (age, race, ethnicity, income, class). She will talk about ways to employ design as a catalyst for health equity and socially responsible technology experiences. From thinking about the most authentic ways of engaging with communities that are typically neglected to interrogating the ethics of technology as a solution. Come learn how Tech students and policymakers can think about design as a tool for solving social problems!

Join us for the 2021 Douglas C. Allen Lecture by WALTER HOOD, Creative Director and Founder of Hood Design Studio in Oakland, California

Thursday, March 18, 6:00 p.m. EST

This lecture will be held virtually using the Bluejeans Events platform and is free and open to the public.
Registration is required for attendance.

Walter Hood is the Creative Director and Founder of Hood Design Studio in Oakland, California. Hood Design Studio is a cultural practice, working across art, fabrication, design, landscape, research and urbanism. He is also the David K. Woo Chair and the Professor of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at the University of California, Berkeley. He lectures on and exhibits professional and theoretical projects nationally and internationally. He was recently the Spring 2020 Diana Balmori Visiting Professor at the Yale School of Architecture.

Walter creates urban spaces that resonate with and enrich the lives of current residents while also honoring communal histories. Hood melds architectural and fine arts expertise with a commitment to designing ecologically sustainable public spaces that empower marginalized communities. Over his career, he has transformed traffic islands, vacant lots, and freeway underpasses into spaces that challenge the legacy of neglect of urban neighborhoods. Through engagement with community members, he teases out the natural and social histories as well as current residents’ shared patterns and practices of use and aspirations for a place.

The Studio’s award-winning work has been featured in publications including Dwell, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fast Company, Architectural Digest, Places Journal, and Landscape Architecture Magazine. Walter Hood is also a recipient of the 2017 Academy of Arts and Letters Architecture Award, 2019 Knight Foundation Public Spaces Fellowship, 2019 MacArthur Fellowship and 2019 Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize.
