SUMMARY:Almost Nothing: A Reading & Conversation w/ Adrienne Economos-Miller and Sam Schuermann
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeThursday\, October 9\, 2025 (5-6 p.m.) \n\n \n\nLocationJim Shields Gallery of Architecture & Urbanism \n\n\n \nThis event will include three parts: a contextualizing introduction to Nora Wendl’s book “Almost Nothing: Reclaiming Edith Farnsworth” (University of Illinois Press\, 2025) by Professor Adrienne Economos-Miller; an illustrated reading of excerpts of this book by Wendl; and a conversation between Professors Wendl\, Economos-Miller\, and Sam Schuermann on the themes and topics of the book. Almost Nothing is a critical history of the Edith Farnsworth House (Mies van der Rohe\, Plano\, Illinois\, 1951) written in the form of an auto-theoretical memoir. As such\, it engages in  topics and questions related to architectural historiography\, feminism\, preservation\, memory\, and authorship. \n \nBiography\n \nNora WendlAssociate Professor of ArchitectureUniversity of New Mexico\,  \n \nNora Wendl is an essayist\, artist\, editor\, and associate professor of architecture at the University of New Mexico\, where she teaches studio and theory. \n \nWendl’s work\, across scales and media\, subverts the received narratives that underpin architectural historiography\, engaging feminist archival practices to create essays\, books\, installations\, photographs and films that offer new forms and frameworks for historicizing built and unbuilt environments. These works have been supported by the Graham Foundation\, Santa Fe Art Institute\, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, among other institutions. She has exhibited and published widely\, and her most recent book\, Almost Nothing: Reclaiming Edith Farnsworth (University of Illinois Press\, 2025)\, was shortlisted for the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize. From 2021-24\, she was the Executive Editor of the Journal of Architectural Education.

SUMMARY:Forming Life in Common
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeThursday\, October 16\, 2025 (5-6 p.m.) \n\n\nLocationArchitecture & Urban Planning Building\, Lecture Hall (AUP 170) \n\n\nCommoning is the act of sharing and managing resources—cultural and natural—with minimal reliance on the market or state\, and where each stakeholder has an equal interest. User-managed governance of the environments we inhabit—from land ownership\, to buildings\, to domestic spaces—enables residents to be key agents in how resources are distributed\, valued\, and maintained. This lecture will focus on a series of design experiments by THE OPEN WORKSHOP that explore a range of commons—both in type and scale—that use architecture to catalyze and frame the mechanisms for commoning. \nBiography\nNeeraj BhatiaCalifornia College of the Arts\, ProfessorTHE OPEN WORKSHOP\, Founder \nNeeraj Bhatia is a licensed architect and urban designer whose work resides at the intersection of politics\, housing\, infrastructure\, and urbanism. He is a Full Professor at the California College of the Arts where he also directs the urbanism research lab\, The Urban Works Agency. Bhatia has also held teaching positions at Columbia GSAPP\, Harvard GSD\, UC Berkeley\, Cornell University\, and Rice University. \nNeeraj is principal of THE OPEN WORKSHOP\, a transcalar design-research office examining the negotiation between architecture and its territorial environment. Select distinctions include the Emerging Voices Award (2024)\, Canadian Professional Prix de Rome (2019)\, the Architectural League Young Architects Prize (2016)\, and the Emerging Leaders Award from Design Intelligence (2016). THE OPEN WORKSHOP’s design-research has been commissioned by the Seoul Biennale\, Venice Biennale\, Chicago Architecture Biennial\, and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts\, among other venues. \nBhatia is co-editor of books Architecture Beyond Extraction (JAE 79:1)\, Bracket [Takes Action]\, The Petropolis of Tomorrow\, Bracket [Goes Soft]\, Arium: Weather + Architecture\, and author of New Investigations in Collective Form and Pamphlet Architecture 30: Coupling — Strategies for Infrastructural Opportunism.
