 Stan Allen, FAIA "Body of Work"
Tuesday, January 31st
5pm
Hancock 100
Stan Allen has been a central figure in both the practice and discipline of architecture in the last two decades. After working in Europe for Rafael Moneo, he began his practice by founding Field Operations with James Corner, leading the way in repositioning landscape, infrastructure and urbanism as critical issues in the architectural discipline. His voice as a critical writer while running the Advanced Architectural Design (AAD) program at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) in New York served to re-orient avant-garde debates to take seriously the intelligence and expertise of practice itself. Allen was the Dean of Princeton University’s School of Architecture between 2002 and 2012, where he continues to teach graduate studio and direct Princeton’s Center for Urbanism, Architecture and Infrastructure. He is currently in practice as Stan Allen Architect, a New York City-based office that has realized buildings and urban projects in the United States, South America, and Asia. more

Henri T. de Hahn, architecture professor at the School of Architecture + Design (A+D), wishes to offer students an immersion into one of the most fascinating places in Asia – the sub-continent of India. During the 2018 Wintermester session (12.27.17 – 01.13.18), de Hahn will conduct an eighteen-day trip to five cities in India tailored to students within A+D, with an eye toward ARCH majors.
This is an opportunity to see firsthand how the influences of design decisions on the production of architecture and urban space, and vice-versa, have defined five very different cities and rural landscapes in Northern India –New Delhi (planned 20th century city, 1931), Agra (traditional organic development), Fatehpur Sikri (planned 16th century Imperial City, 1569), Jaipur (first planned 18th century city in India, 1726) and Ahmedabad (traditional organic development).
Accompanying the targeted areas of research, the off-campus program will emphasize the cultural dimensions of each locality –their exceptional history and tradition of handicrafts and popular culture including block printmaking, jewelry and gems, and design issues in all art forms. These will unfold through the experience of daily street life and visits to museums, monuments, markets, and bazaars. In addition there will be targeted hands-on experiences, seminars and lectures by guest academic experts.
Full proposal is available during the session, at the faculty's office, and/or upon request through email.
