31/44 believe in an architecture of continuity; moving forwards whilst working with the diverse, established characters and qualities of the places we find. As a profession we must participate in an urgent response to the climate emergency. In this rapidly evolving context is an architecture of continuity still possible? Can we achieve buildings with a mass and dignified presence within this alternative framework of evaluation? We know that there are serious carbon consequences in the production of many materials, including petro-chemically derived layers ubiquitous in contemporary construction. Meanwhile, well-managed and sustainable supply chains for regenerative materials such as timber are not yet established. Change will therefore need to be incremental, interim solutions hybrid. It is a challenging time to be an architect, but there is the tangible sense that through re-evaluation and conversation there is the potential to inspire. We’re seeking mass that’s as light as air.

Wong Auditorium USC School of Architecture As part of Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design Hosted by Craft Contemporary and USC School of Architecture Our built environment is the physical stage on which all human stories are lived out. This physical stage is the historical and ongoing manifestation of human imagination operating within real (or, imaginary!) constraints. Anupama Kundoo advances the idea that architectural imagination must transcend design and enter the realms of materials science and economics where some of the bigger questions reside. She will discuss the thrust of her inquiries which have been to find practical ways to fulfill the universal human aspiration for refuge, purpose, and social engagement through extensive material research and experimentation. She will discuss 'Human Time as a Resource' in the quest for new materiality and critically examine the way the time value of money has nudged us towards code-based design and the industrialized production of building components and, sometimes, even entire buildings themselves. She will discuss materiality and consumption of finite natural resources alongside their impact on human wellbeing and human resourcefulness. The act of building produces knowledge just as the resulting knowledge produces buildings. About Anupama Kundoo Anupama Kundoo graduated from University of Mumbai in 1989 and received her PhD degree from TU Berlin in 2008. Her research-oriented practice started in 1990 in Auroville has generated people centric architecture based on spatial and material research for low environmental impact while being socio-economically beneficial. Her body of works was recently exhibited as a solo show 'Taking Time' at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark. She has taught Architecture and Urban Management at various international universities strengthening her expertise in rapid urbanization and climate change related development issues including at the University of Queensland at Brisbane, TU Stuttgart, and Columbia University. She is currently Professor of Architecture at T.U. Berlin, and the Norman Foster visiting Professor at Yale University. Kundoo received the RIBA Charles Jencks award for her contribution to architectural theory, the 2021 Auguste Perret Prize for architectural technology, the 2021 Building Sense Now global award of the German Sustainable Building Council DGNB, and the Global Award for Sustainable architecture under UNESCO patronage in 2022. Her studios are based in Berlin in Germany, and Mumbai and Pondicherry in India. Kundoo’s rigorous research and experimentation in new materiality for architecture is the result of questioning basic assumptions, construction habits that humanity has adopted during the long process of industrialization. Rather than focusing on shortage, she sought abundance through investing in human resources and human resourcefulness, such as ingenuity, time, skills, care and sense of community. MATERIAL ACTS This lecture is organized as part of Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design, and is hosted by Craft Contemporary and USC School of Architecture as part of the regional initiative Getty PST ART: Art and Science Collide. The exhibition Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design examines the role of nature as a starting point for material experimentation in the domains of architecture, craft, and science. While nature has often stood in as a model, metaphor, or resource for designers, the recent global upheavals in climate, ecology, and technology are driving intensive understandings of nature’s tangible and imagined substrate. The exhibition examines how contemporary design practices mobilize, confound, and generate natures, whether through simulating mechanics or growing biological matter. On view until January 5, 2024 at Craft Contemporary. ABOUT CRAFT CONTEMPORARY ⁣Founded as a museum in 1973, Craft Contemporary reveals the potential of craft to educate, captivate, provoke, and empower.
