SUMMARY:An Ecology of Equity (Morgan SA+P)
DESCRIPTION:The built environment reveals how architecture and its respective commissioned process embodies spatialized psychologies (mental perceptions and behaviour) towards the authorship of human value. All too often to the detriment of reinforcing and architecting perceptions of supremacy\, inequity\, and dehumanization. \nTransdisciplinary applications steeped in this understanding will invoke the necessary pedagogy and methodologies to interrogate/dismantle/abolish existing paradigms while co- actualizing representations of a spatialized ecology of equity. \nApril De Simone’s lecture will be followed by a panel discussion with: \n\nThijs van Spaandonk\, Dean of Urban Design\, Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design (RAvB)\nDr. Roberto Rocco\, spatial planner and researcher at the Section of Spatial Planning and Strategy of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)\n\nTIME & REGISTRATION\n3:30pm EDT Maryland time\, which is 21.30 CET Netherlands time. The lecture is approximately 1 hr\, followed by 30 min panel discussion and audience Q&A. \nOpen to the public. \nAdmission is free but we invite people to register using the ‘Donation Ticket’ and pay whatever you can afford\, for example $3 (€3)\, $5\, $10\, or $30. Donations go to the speaker and her organization ‘designing the WE’ to support the powerful work they do to bring positive systematic changes to the urban landscape! \nAdvance registration required. \nThe webinar will be conducted in English language. \nAbout the speaker: \nApril De Simone is a transdisciplinary design practitioner focused on the intersectionality of systems thinking human condition and design to advance equitable strategies within the built environment. Ms. De Simone explores how dominant mental models and perceptions centered on hierarchical value systems inform design outputs that perpetuate unsustainable and inequitable systemic conditions. In 2015 she co-founded designing the WE. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Materials passports for the built environment (Morgan State/Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee)
DESCRIPTION:Madaster considers the earth as a closed system where there should not be any waste. Raw materials are limited editions and scarce. Through registration and documentation of products and materials used in the built environment\, they can be reused in a circular economy and waste can be eliminated. Marijn Emanuel will discuss: \n\nCircular building strategies and case study\nMaterials passports\nInitiatives for (inter)national guidelines and standards\nThe Madaster platform\n\nTIME & REGISTRATION\n1pm ET Maryland time\, which is 19.00 CET Netherlands time. The lecture is approximately 1 hr\, followed by 20 min panel discussion with Q&A. \nOpen to the public. Admission is free. Donations are optional; proceeds will be used for architecture education programs. \nREGISTER HERE \nAUDIENCE\nThe lecture is geared towards architects\, developers\, construction companies\, engineers\, building deconstruction companies\, and students. \nAbout the speaker\nMarijn Emanuel is one of the six founders of Madaster\, the register for materials of the built environment. Before founding and working for Madaster\, he has been an architect at the office of RAU architects in Amsterdam\, where is he still active. Currently\, he is working on the content of this platform on a daily basis. \nRecent article by Emanuel: Mind over Matter \nAbout Madaster\nThe Madaster platform was established in 2017 and went live immediately with one goal: to eliminate waste in the construction sector. The philosophy is clear. A management system that gives materials a future is desperately needed. There is a need for more insight and cooperation in order to clarify the environmental impact of materials. Risks must be reduced and business cases must be worked on to increase the value of used materials. And that starts with a first step: establishing who owns which materials. Waste is material without identity. It is time to exchange the linear economy for a circular one. Because only a circular system can eliminate waste. Moreover\, material with identity always retains its value. Madaster is neutral and independent\, but above all easy to use. The target group that can use it is quite broad: From property owners\, design teams\, app developers\, facility companies to the general public. It is available 24/7. \nVideo about Madaster platform \nAbout this lecture series\nThis lecture is one of a series of lectures in 2021 organized by Cristina Murphy\, Assistant Professor at Morgan State University School of Architecture + Planning (MSU SA+P)\, with assistance from Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee (BRSCC). The lecture series includes speakers from the U.S.A. about Baltimore’s cityscape and urban design\, and speakers from the Netherlands about innovative construction materials and circular design systems such as reuse\, remanufacturing\, and recycling in the built environment. Special thanks to Jeremiah Ekoja\, Graduate Assistant at MSU SA+P\, for his help with coordinating the lecture series. \nSee other lectures in this series

SUMMARY:Not Nontraditional: Women In The Building Trades (Preservation Maryland)
DESCRIPTION:According to the Department of Labor\, construction is a “nontraditional” career field for women because they account for fewer than 25% of the registered workforce. The term “nontraditional”\, however\, implies that women did not and do not traditionally participate in construction work. This is inaccurate. This misconception erases women’s contribution to historic structures and disservices present-day women working in building trades. This webinar will delve into women’s roles in construction\, historically and today. \n  \nSpeakers: \n\nShelley E. Roff\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, College of Architecture\, Construction and Planning\, University of Texas at San Antonio\nLisa Sasser\, Principal\, Quid Tum Historic Structures Consulting\nAmy McCauley\, Preservation Joiner\, George Washington’s Mount Vernon\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Applying circular economy principles to the built environment (Morgan State/Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee)
DESCRIPTION:The general concepts of the circular economy are widely agreed upon: material reuse and refurbishment leading to zero waste and lower environmental degradation\, but what does that mean for buildings and campuses\, architects and developers? This talk will walk through the practical applications of circular economy principles in the built environment – at every level from design to deconstruction and at every scale from building to region/nation. We will cover topics from urban mining to circular building design and circularity in neighborhood development. \nRelated article from Metabolic: Urban Mining and Circular Construction \nTIME & REGISTRATION\n1pm ET Maryland time\, which is 19.00 CET Netherlands time. The lecture is approximately 1 hr\, followed by 20 min panel discussion with Q&A. \nOpen to the public. Admission is free. Donations are optional; proceeds will be used for architecture education programs. \nREGISTER HERE \nAUDIENCE\nThe lecture is geared towards architects\, developers\, construction companies\, engineers\, building deconstruction companies\, and students. \nAbout the speakers\nNico Schouten works as a Green Building Consultant at Metabolic where he helps governments\, architects and developers make their projects more sustainable. Here he focuses on the building phase (weighing different types of embodied impacts and the impact of design interventions) as well as the use phase and how to create incentives for the users of the building to behave more sustainably. While studying Architecture at TU Delft\, Nico became interested in using architecture to make a more sustainable world. This led him to further research the concept of systems thinking and implementing circular strategies in his designs. After his graduation Nico worked at the AMS Institute as an in-house designer for the transformation of their office\, where he helped design a circular meeting space. He also worked at the Centre for Sustainability of the LDE alliance where he was a program manager for research projects on inclusive circular design in metropolitan areas. \nAndrew McCue is Sustainability Consultant at Metabolic. He has been involved in food and food systems for many years. Aiming to bring quality\, varied\, and sustainable food to larger populations\, he pursued work on sustainable agriculture with both soil-based and hydroponic farms. Towards the end of this period Andrew worked as a key account manager helping nascent hydroponic farms to build their businesses. Frustrated with the scale of environmental and social issues he saw in the food system\, Andrew took to the teachings of Donella Meadows and began to pursue systems thinking as a way to understand the roadblocks continually encountered in the industry. From this perspective\, it became clear that redesigning the relationship between urban regions and the food they consume was going to be key in unlocking the change needed to build a sustainable and just food system. The reputation of the Netherlands as a hub of sustainable cities and high tech agriculture\, drew Andrew to Amsterdam where he joined Metabolic as a sustainability consultant and business developer for projects in Agrifood and Circular Cities. Andrew is passionate about food and cities\, and even more so about making the connections needed to build a fundamentally sustainable\, just\, and enjoyable future. \nAbout Metabolic\nMetabolic is a consulting\, research\, and venture building firm focused on tackling global sustainability challenges and advancing a circular economy. We advise governments\, businesses\, and NGOs on how to adapt to a fast-changing global context\, while creating disruptive solutions that can dramatically shift how the economy functions. Combining systems thinking and data science\, we map and understand local and global systems to assess where to intervene for the biggest impact. \nHeadquartered in Amsterdam\, Metabolic has three core areas of operation. Our consulting arm has developed systems analyses and circular economy strategies for numerous global clients\, including WWF\, Danone\, Duracell\, and Akzo Nobel\, and city governments such as Amsterdam\, Rotterdam\, Charlotte. Our non-profit think tank works at the intersection of academic research and real-world experimentation\, advancing open-source knowledge on global sustainability issues\,\, and our venture building arm has launched spin-offs focused on the renewable energy transition\, green chemistry\, and sustainable urban development in underserved communities. \nAbout this lecture series\nThis lecture is one of a series of lectures in 2021 organized by Cristina Murphy\, Assistant Professor at Morgan State University School of Architecture + Planning (MSU SA+P)\, with assistance from Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee (BRSCC). The lecture series includes speakers from the U.S.A. about Baltimore’s cityscape and urban design\, and speakers from the Netherlands about innovative construction materials and circular design systems such as reuse\, remanufacturing\, and recycling in the built environment. Special thanks to Jeremiah Ekoja\, Graduate Assistant at MSU SA+P\, for his help with coordinating the lecture series. \nSee other lectures in this series

SUMMARY:A vessel for change: Floating Office Rotterdam (Morgan State/Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee)
DESCRIPTION:Moored at Rijnhaven port in Rotterdam\, the Floating Office Rotterdam (FOR) for the Global Center on Adaptation is a building for a new age. Built in timber\, it’s off grid and carbon-neutral\, it will float – rather than flood – if water levels rise due to climate change. Fun as well as functional\, it also forms a key element in a newly redeveloped port environment by providing public waterside space – and even a swimming pool. Powerhouse Company designed the floating office to reflect the values of its inhabitants: the Global Center on Adaptation. This Rotterdam NGO aims at promoting planning\, investment and technology to mitigate climate change. With its own solar energy source and water-based heat-exchange system\, the Floating Office Rotterdam is completely self-sufficient. \nTIME & REGISTRATION\n1pm ET Maryland time\, which is 19.00 CET Netherlands time. The lecture is approximately 1 hr\, followed by 20 min panel discussion with Q&A. \nOpen to the public. Admission is free. Donations are optional; proceeds will be used for architecture education programs. \nREGISTER HERE \nAUDIENCE\nThe lecture is geared towards architects\, developers\, construction companies\, engineers\, and students. \nAbout the speaker\nAs associate and design director at Powerhouse Company\, Albert Takashi Richters heads the so-called pitch-team where initial design concepts are conceived ranging in scales from villas all the way up to urban strategies. In 2016 Albert joined Powerhouse Company after winning the competition for the Çanakkale broadcasting tower and visitor center in Turkey for which he was part of the collaborating design team at IND [Inter.National.Design]. \nIn his work as an architect\, Albert understands the architect’s role as one of mediation between parties. As such he has been involved in various competitions and large-scale urban strategies such as the recently presented Codrico Masterplan for the Rijnhaven in Rotterdam. A masterplan that demands a good balance between the place’s history\, the city’s needs and the developer’s requirements by means of an architectural ensemble. \nThis holistic approach is one that is carried through in the architecture projects that Albert has been worked on\, where an understanding of ambitions\, feasibility and technical solutions becomes a way to mediate between design and a project’s further development. It is here where the Floating Office Rotterdam fits in as a design that is part of larger ambitions of the city whilst being a design that requires a representative and elegant building that is efficient\, sustainable and of course\, buoyant. \nAs a TU Delft graduate Albert has been a design tutor at the TU Delft for the Chair of Complex Projects under Prof. Kees Kaan and currently is tutoring at the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design. \nAbout Powerhouse Company\nWe give meaning to space through profound form and function. \nWe are Powerhouse Company\, an award-winning architecture office based in Rotterdam\, the Netherlands. Our story begins in 2005. Newly founded back then\, we operated from kitchen tables in Rotterdam and Copenhagen. We have since grown into a multidisciplinary office of around 100 professionals\, with international studios in Beijing\, Oslo and Munich. Along the way we have won a number of prizes\, including the Dutch Design Award\, the Maaskant Prize and the World Architecture Festival Award. \nSome things don’t change however. We are still led by founder Nanne de Ru\, these days along with Paul Stavert\, Stijn Kemper\, Stefan Prins\, Sander Apperlo (Munich) and Johanne Borthne (Oslo). \nOur mission is to create meaningful spaces that enhance people’s lives. \nWe shape our projects through the collective intelligence of our dedicated team\, plus our in-depth research into the historical and future context. We love to be close to our clients\, thinking along with them so that we can embrace their social\, economic and sustainability goals. Our multi-disciplinary team and collaborative ethos allow us to take full responsibility for any project\, from sketch to construction. \nWe pride ourselves on the sensorial richness of our work\, which results from our constant search for the sweet spot between constraints and possibilities. This process enables us to make conscious design decisions that enhance the subconscious design experience. Our approach to function is based on our belief that every inch in and around a building should enrich the overall sensation it creates. This is how we intertwine context\, aesthetics and function. The outcome is the serene clarity that people sense in all our projects. \nWe are Powerhouse Company. We give meaning to space. \nAbout this lecture series\nThis lecture is one of a series of lectures in 2021 organized by Cristina Murphy\, Assistant Professor at Morgan State University School of Architecture + Planning (MSU SA+P)\, with assistance from Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee (BRSCC).

SUMMARY:Vanishing Heritage: Baltimore County’s Historic African American Communities (Preservation Alliance of Baltimore County)
DESCRIPTION:Preservation Alliance of Baltimore County presents: Carolyn Greenfield Adam\, Historian & Preservation Alliance Board Member \nVanishing Heritage: Baltimore County’s Historic African American Communities \nBaltimore County’s forty historic African American communities developed based on Maryland’s history of coexisting slave and free Black populations and the resulting legal and social segregation. The existence of these communities and their buildings helped to preserve their mostly overlooked history. But development and societal changes are adversely impacting these historic places. In rural Northern Baltimore County many have already disappeared leaving few traces. You have probably driven past or even lived nearby many of them without even realizing it. Those that do remain are important for what they can teach us about this largely undocumented part of Maryland’s history. \nThis presentation will give an overall view of that history and look at several of the remaining communities or structures in more detail. \nTopic: Baltimore County’s Historic African American Communities \nTime: Feb 20\, 2021 03:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87090707612 \nMeeting ID: 870 9070 7612 \nOne tap mobile \n+13017158592\,\,87090707612# US (Washington DC) \n+13126266799\,\,87090707612# US (Chicago) \nDial by your location \n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) \n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)
