POOL is excited to host Cruz Garcia and Nathalie Frankowski of WAI Architecture Think Tank this Thursday at 6 pm Pacific. WAI is a studio practicing by questioning the political, historical, and material legacy and imperatives of architecture and urbanism through a panoramic and critical approach. Founded in Brussels during the financial crisis of 2008 by Cruz and Nathalie, WAI is one of their several public engagement platforms.
Cruz and Nathalie will present their recent work, A Manual of Anti-Racist Architecture Education, and discuss how this work permeates their practice and teaching and how it applies to architecture students in general.
Please join us in discussion this Thursday as we think about the role of architecture, pedagogy, and academia towards an anti-racist architecture education and architecture journey.

The Duck and the Document features a series of fragments, from handrails to façade panels, salvaged from canonic buildings of the late 20th century. Typically associated with drawing and the circulation of media images, postmodern architecture is generally understood to have been largely a matter of style and surface ornament, freed from the exigencies of political and technical systems by the force of architectural autonomy. The Duck and the Document challenges this view by embedding the expected imagery of postmodernity within materials that demonstrate the dense tangle of regulations, production specifications and technologies that constrained architectural design rather than liberated it. While these True Stories of Postmodern Procedures describe a less heroic and autonomous architect, they also produce a more persuasive account of architectural ingenuity as it sought to survive the bureaucratization not merely of the architectural profession but of the very idea of architecture
"Looking through identity formation to the effects of political, legal, and techno-scientific systems, how have architectural objects not only constructed singular subjects but proven intrinsic to variegated subjectivities and contemporary politics of the body?"
A display of historical student-run journals of the Harvard Graduate School of Design and an assemblage of current publications from around the world will set the stage for a series of conversations about PREMISE, MEDIUM, CONTENT, AUDIENCE, and DISCIPLINE.
