Roll Call: PR and Racisim

Greetings folks, it's Friday and I am exhausted.

This week Kelly Kreth has hit the big time by being featured in the Real Deal. In this article they talk about her successful real estate PR firm and becoming famous throughout the UK. All this from her blog.

Urbandigs has a great entry on why lower rates might be a bad thing.

Remember my rant on the Chinese and why it is a really bad idea to make racist remarks against them because it will just piss them off and they will end up destroying us all with our mortgage debt?

Well I found these two articles that display the cultural sensitivity of Asian people.

The first is an article from California about Korean Americans organizing a protest over a comic book published in South Korea that features anti-Semitic images.

One comic strip in the book shows a man climbing a hill and then facing a brick wall with a Star of David and a STOP sign in front.

''The final obstacle to success is always a fortress called Jews,'' a translation says.

Another strip shows a newspaper, magazine, TV and radio with the description: ''In a word, American public debate belongs to the Jews, and it's no exaggeration to say that U.S. media are the voice of the Jews.''

Cooper, who learned of the book from bloggers in Seoul, said some of the cartoons ''echo classic Nazi canards'' by ''recycling various Jewish conspiracies.''

Y'know, I was wondering why there were so many Hasidic reality shows on television.

The second article comes from the San Francisco where it appears even the power of John Singelton has its limits.

A genius by the name of Kenneth Eng has dubbed himself an "Asian Supremacist" and has a column in Asianweek magazine called "God of the Universe."

Anyway Mr. Eng wrote a series of column with the theme of hate involved. They included
"Proof that Whites Inherently Hate Us." and "Why I Hate Asians."

But he really kicked the hornet's nest when he wrote "Why I Hate Blacks". One of the most brilliant passages featured in his diatribe was the following

"In high school, I only remember one black student ever attending any of my honors and AP courses. And that student was caught cheating."

If you want to read the full column go to this link. It is just more evidence that this guy is really asking for it.

My point in presenting these two stories is to show that you do not have to be an obese lesbian or a group of poseurs from Brooklyn to be insensitive or racist towards other cultures and nationalities.

Asians are not a monolithic group that share a general consciousness. In other words they are not the borg. They can be caring, generous, honest, deceptive and downright despicable. Some are stupid, some are smart and some are in between. Some are good and some are evil. Some just don't care. Why? Because they are human beings. Unfortunately, ignorance and racism is part of the package of the human condition.

And I would like to end it off with this press release from the Center of Architecture. Good night folks.

Winter – Spring 2007

Exhibitions Currently on View:

School Buildings – The State of Affairs

January 15 - March 24, 2007

Today's educators require flexible spaces that can satisfy multiple functions and future demands and they are in need of spaces that enhance modern teaching as well as a student's personal development. Communities request to share facilities and services, and changing social patterns require new services at schools. In response, architects design schools that feel, look and function differently, having become learning and community centers. It's a new architecture for a new education. This exhibition illustrates this process and the schools that have been built in the course of it. It contains 31 examples of recently built or designed schools from Zurich Switzerland along with examples from Finland , Germany , the Netherlands , Scandinavia, and Austria . It facilitates a dialog among educators, architects, and the community, strikingly similar to the efforts than have been made in New York over the past few years. It will make for an interesting and fruitful dialog.

The current exhibition is organized by:
AIA New York Chapter Committee on Architecture for Education, Umberto Dindo, AIA, Chairman ETH Zurich / Center for Cultural Studies in Architecture (CCSA), Martin Schneider, scientific associate, dipl. arch. ETH Zurich The exhibition is a site-specific presentation of a traveling exhibition originally organized by: ETH Zurich / Center for Cultural Studies in Architecture (CCSA), City of Zurich Building Authority , School and Sport Authority, and the Zurich University of Teacher Education.

Schools of the Future — US Case Studies

January 16 — March 17, 2007

What is the relationship between pedagogical visions and spaces for children? This question is pivotal to understanding good school architecture. Currently there is widespread emphasis on innovative approaches to education that reflect a more personalized conception of learning than prevailed during the 20th century. This exhibition presents a selection of significant school designs from across the US .

Organized by: Ria Stein, Berlin ; Texts by Mark Dudek, London ; Design by Oliver Kleinschmidt, Berlin The exhibition is based on the book Schools and Kindergartens — A Design Manual by Mark Dudek, published by Birkhauser Verlag AG

Exhibition sponsored by: Skidmore, Owings and Merrill

Visual Echo

January 12 — March 10, 2007

This interactive light installation acts as a meandering ribbon of light by remembering the colors visitors wear. While also recording the rhythm and frequency of visitors, the ribbon transforms the viewer's perception of space. Using cutting edge LED tiles, this work by Jason Bruges Studio demonstrates exciting new potentials and questions how light, space and color can interrelate in architectural space.

POWERHOUSE
New Housing New York

March 19 to June 16, 2007

Power House illuminates the people, projects, and public policies that fuel the affordable housing landscape in New York City . As New York City 's first juried design competition for affordable, sustainable housing, the New Housing New York Legacy Project (NHNY) is generating creative, replicable approaches to urban development. The exhibition focuses on the NHNY competition and sets it within the context of the city's efforts to preserve and development sustainable, financially viable residences for low- and middle-income New Yorkers. The show's emphasis is on the future of housing in the city, as represented by the competition winner, Phipps Rose Dattner Grimshaw (Phipps Houses / Jonathan Rose Companies / Dattner Architects / Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners), the four finalists, and the development mechanisms put in place by Mayor Bloomberg's 10-year New Housing Marketplace initiative and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Building on the 2004 New Housing New York Ideas Competition, the 2006 two-stage contest will result in construction of the winning design on a 40,000 square-foot Bronx site, which is valued at $4.3 million and was donated by The City of New York.

Making Housing Home

Photographs with residents of New York City housing developments

March 22 — June 2, 2007

This photographic exhibition explores how people inhabit housing to create homes in two of New York City 's affordable housing developments, each of which were developed to provide good homes for all. Because units of housing are in essence homes for families, this project takes an interior look at what architecture can allow and support, to afford the crucial process of making space for oneself within designed spaces and housing markets. If social housing reflects the social covenant of our society, what is it to which every citizen is entitled? What does it take for a life to flourish and can a building help or hinder this process? What becomes of designed spaces once they are inhabited?

MIT's House _n Future; a Lecture by Dr. Kent Larson

Monday, 03/05/2007, 5:30–8:00pm
Kent Larson, Architect and Director of MIT’s House _n Research Consortium, will present a new “open source” model for residential design, fabrication, and technology integration where: (1) Buildings are disentangled layers of integrated assemblies, (2) Manufacturers agree on interface standards and become tier-one suppliers of customized components, (3) Builders become assemblers, (4) Architects create design-engines to create thousands of unique environments (playing a role on more than a tiny percentage of new housing), and (5) Customers (home-buyers) become "innovators" at the center of the process by using sophisticated design interfaces and receiving personalized information at the point of decision. He will also discuss a series of prototype homes his research group is building, and a unique living laboratory called the PlaceLab.

Brandism Series: Strategy as Brand

Wednesday, 03/28/2007, 6:00–8:00pm
Strategy as brand is the creative response of critical architectural practice to the demands of a fast-paced real estate market that demands instant recognizibility paired with a maximum of built volume. Architecture is molded by a force field of economic interests, which might include the impact of existing restrictions such as zoning laws, building codes, and other regulations pertaining to market forces. Eliminating any notion of forced aesthetics, architecture becomes a compliant entity that is entirely subject to the impact of existing restrictions. Economic and regulatory constraints are no longer viewed as impediments to artistic invention but to the contrary, as essential information for the production of an architectural project. As architecture is stripped of all symbolic and formal significations, strategic research drives the production of different scenarios, which in turn inform the specific relationships among form, program, and event. The diverging interests of different parties—which include the city, the developer, and the end user—are translated into data that, in turn, inform the shape of the building’s envelope. Entailing a morphological transformation of contextual forces into a spatial composition, the resulting architecture presents a creative synthesis of diverging forces.

Brandism Series: Signature as Brand

Tuesday, 04/24/2007, 6:00–8:00pm
Signature-branded buildings, instantly linked to the prestige and aptitudes of their authors, transform the star-power of the architect into a material commodity. Thus, buildings are signature-branded to achieve a competitive edge and communicate the status of their owners and occupants. A signature style is achieved through repeated, unique gestures and motifs occurring throughout the body of an architect’s work until the relationship between an architect and particular material qualities become eternally inseparable. While signature architects have emerged as hot commodities, they sacrifice the ability to stray too far from established expectations. The continued use of star architects produces an architecture that is apparently less risky for investors, but also less and less evocative of a sense of place. Can architects maintain innovative and creative practices in light of economic pressures that encourage facsimile? In New York , notable architects like Richard Meier, Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava have been hired for commercial projects in increasing number, with their innovative designs raising the bar for new development while helping to sell units.

The series continues:
