Susan Conger-Austin: Unvolumetric Architecture

Susan Conger-Austin, architect and professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology, taught a series of classes in the graduate course Architecture, Geography, and Architecture at Escola da Cidade. She addressed the concept of unvolumetric architecture – defined from the construction of spaces unattached to the construction of buildings – and its effects on the urban development in the United States between 2000 and 2013.  In order to raise the urban transformations generated by the creation of quality public spaces , she presented three examples: New York (High-Line, Ground Zero and Lincoln Center), Seattle (Olympic Sculpture Park), and Chicago (Millennium Park). This has been another experience of language mediation and debate based on cultural differences between teachers and students.

“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work.”

DGNB

 

 

Consulting for the workshop “Making Sustainability Measurable” by Daniela Merkenich covering the topics:


-Introduction to the German Sustainable Building Council
-The DGNB Certification System and Adaptation Process
-Sustainable Architecture

at Escola da Cidade for the Environmental Comfort Subject by professors Daniela Laudares, Cecilia Mueller e Rita Buoro.

“The DGNB assesses buildings and urban districts which demonstrate an outstanding commitment to meeting sustainability objectives. The sustainability concept of the DGNB System is broadly based and goes beyond the well-known three-pillar model. The DGNB System covers all of the key aspects of sustainable building: environmental, economic, sociocultural and functional aspects, technology, processes and site. The first four quality sections have equal weight in the assessment. This means that the DGNB System is the only one that gives as much importance to the economic aspect of sustainable building as it does to the ecological criteria. The assessments are always based on the entire life cycle of a building. Of course the focus is always also on the wellbeing of the user.

It is crucial that the DGNB does not assess individual measures but instead the overall performance of a building or urban district.”
