TheArchitecturalLeague

2013-2014

T H E A R C H IT E C T U R A L L E A G U E N Y

The Architectural League has had a terrific year in 2013-14, with productive work on all the parallel tracks we pursue to fulfill our mission. We spotlight and support the accomplishments and development of talented individuals and practices; create new opportunities for design exploration; provide leadership on important current and emerging issues in the built environment; and explore and act on the myriad opportunities and responsibilities of architecture-in-the-world.

These broad categories translate, in practice, into our very strong ongoing programs including Current Work, Emerging Voices, the League Prize for Young Architects and Designers, and our enormously popular First Friday series. Our Norden Fund travel grant program continues to elicit fascinating projects for independent travel-based research, and we have collaborated again this year with great pleasure with Socrates Sculpture Park on Folly, a competition for an emerging architect to create an installation at Socrates.

This year the League celebrated the fifth anniversary of Urban Omnibus, our online publication on the culture of city-making, that continues to bring perceptive writing about and inventive projects for New York City to a wide international audience. We also continue to deepen and broaden our digital offerings on archleague.org, with material that documents and expands our live program offerings, revisits the archives, and offers new material commissioned especially for the site.

And we launched The Five Thousand Pound Life, our ambitious project on new ways of thinking, talking, and acting on architecture, climate change, and our economic future. I passionately believe that there is no more urgent issue in the contemporary world than the challenge of how we respond to climate change. There is an enormous amount of material available on both archleague.org and urbanomnibus.net on this project, with much more to come in the year ahead.

All of this work is accomplished by the League’s extremely talented staff, who are, in alphabetical order: Nicholas Anderson (Development and Communications Director), Jessica Liss (Program Associate), Anne Rieselbach (Program Director), Melissa Russell (Program Intern), Cassim Shepard (Editor, Urban Omnibus), Varick Shute (Digital Editorial Director), Sarah Snider (Bookkeeper), Jonathan Tarleton (Assistant Editor, Urban Omnibus), Andrew Wade (J. Clawson Mills Fellow) and Sally Wilkey (Development Associate). Staff members Daniel Rojo, Gabriel Silberblatt, Kathryn Slocum, and Ian Veidenheimer left the League during the year, to return to school or to take on new job challenges, and I thank each of them for their contributions.

The League’s work is guided by a tremendously supportive and involved board of directors, led for the last four years by Annabelle Selldorf, who has been, simply put, an incredible board president. The next chapter in the League’s history will be written with incoming president Billie Tsien, and I and all of the staff look forward with great anticipation to working with her and the entire board.

None of what the League does would be possible without its members and supporters, and I thank you for your generosity and your commitment to ensuring that the League can continue to help shape a more beautiful, vibrant, innovative, and sustainable future.

Throughout the year, the League’s public events provide the opportunity to see significant, inventive, and often challenging new work from an international and intergenerational group of speakers firsthand, and to hear and benefit from discussions of their philosophy of design. Prominent architects and engineers from the United States, Europe, and Asia whose work and ideas are shaping the built landscape spoke in the League’s annual Current Work series, comprised of lectures paired with responses and moderated question and answer sessions, held at The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union, the lectures’ co-sponsor. The 31st annual juried Emerging Voices lecture series introduced eight North American individuals and firms whose distinct design voices have the potential to influence the disciplines of architecture and landscape design. The six winners of Overlay, the Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers, also in its 31st season, presented lectures and created site specific installations that fused their innovative material and design explorations with the competition theme. Again this year, the lectures and exhibition were held at the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center at Parsons The New School for Design, and our partners at Princeton Architectural Press have published the winning work in its Young Architects series.

Programs on special topics, including presentations and a panel about the Museum of Modern Art’s plan for expansion, and intergenerational voices exploring Feminism and Architecture, provided public fora to test and debate pressing issues in the city and the profession.

In and around the city, the League organized installations, exhibitions, and site visits recognizing architectural process and design excellence. Monthly First Fridays, installations and receptions hosted by leading architecture, landscape, and engineering firms, provided League members and their guests the opportunity for an inside view of the projects, materials, methods, and overall culture of a diverse collection of offices. Each year, in addition to the League Prize, the League organizes a number of design competitions and studies — many focused on recognizing and nurturing the work of younger architects and designers through providing the opportunity to realize their projects. Work by winners of the Grand Central Sketchbook: Designers Dream was displayed at the New York Transit Museum, the League’s program partners for the competition. SuralArk by the young office Austin + Mergold was selected from the 170 entries for the third annual residency and design/build Folly competition, organized in partnership with Socrates Sculpture Park. Farther afield, Kerry O’Connor, the recipient of this year’s Deborah J. Norden Fund travel grant, will travel to Ljubljana, Slovenia, to study architect Jože Plecnik’s infrastructural systems along the Ljubljanica and Gradašcica rivers.

This year saw the launch of the League’s ambitious reframing of how we think, talk, and act on architecture, climate change, and our economic future. The Five Thousand Pound Life stems from the belief that architecture’s engagement with climate change – often limited to building-scale efficiencies in material use and mechanical systems – is misaligned with the depth and complexity of carbon reduction. Issues of ethics, economics, and technology weave through design and construction, leaving architects embroiled in the production of manufactured landscapes that dominate the planet. In the Anthropocene we must – in a connected professional and civic presence – act as fiduciaries of the world we are measurably changing.

In her lecture last October, Princeton Professor Melissa Lane claimed that “sustainability does not by itself answer the question of value; it opens that question and invites debate as to how the values at its heart should be filled in.” This was a fragment of a diverse array of content, including: a series of talks on climate ethics and communication; an energy symposium curated with Columbia GSAPP; and commissioned writing and digital media on archleague.org/5KL. As we curate a series of symposia on the issues of land, water, food, and transport in the coming months, the project questions the values that led us to our present circumstance – looking forward to a future that defines and protects our shared values in part by reducing the destabilizing force of climate change.

Representing a 90% decrease in annual per capita CO2 emissions in the United States between 2010 and 2050, The Five Thousand Pound Life confronts the radical reality of the challenge before us. In a forthcoming nation-wide design study, teams will envision how this truth can empower us to craft a prosperous future – one that stops fueling climate change while crafting a stable and equitable economy.

This year saw continued growth for the League’s digital programming. Our two primary websites, archleague.org and urbanomnibus.net, provide us an extraordinary opportunity to extend the League’s longstanding commitment to stimulating interdisciplinary dialogue about the pressing issues of our time to a global as well as local audience.

On archleague.org, our weekly features spanned geographic borders, generations, and disciplinary focus, often drawing on the many voices, topics, projects, and ideas the League engages with through other formats throughout the year. The site has been a crucial forum for the exploration of ideas about climate change and our economic future as part of the League’s ongoing initiative The Five Thousand Pound Life. Travel Reports from past awardees of our annual Norden Fund grant took us to Tokyo, Rwanda, Uruguay, and Iran. Short videos followed special projects from conception to installation, from ten teams’ designs for bringing “little free libraries” to New York, to a participatory workshop that produced towering Duchampian puppets that danced at last year’s Beaux Arts Ball. In addition to our regular series of lecture videos documenting many of our live programs, we aim to share insight from our invited speakers outside of the lecture hall, engaging them in dialogue with other leaders from the field in conversations that are released online. Our digital features also allow us to resurface ideas and information from the League’s rich archive of design studies, publications, exhibitions, and special initia-tives. This year, a three-part series on the Arverne Urban Renewal Area in Queens brought new inquiry into the past, present, and future of a site that was the subject of a 2001 League exhibition. And material from a 1977 League exhibition and publication served as the foundation of an ongoing series on women in American architecture.

January 2014 marked the fifth anniversary of Urban Omnibus, our online publication dedicated to deepening our understanding of and appreciation for how a city is made, and encouraging a stronger, healthier, more equitable, more beautiful city that could be. (Read on for more about this year on Urban Omnibus in a note from UO Editor Cassim Shepard.)

2014 marked a major milestone for Urban Omnibus: five years of presenting exemplary projects and perspectives that seek to improve or interpret the city around us. We celebrated the anniversary in style at Gowanus Ballroom, a metal shop by day and an art space by night, demonstrating a kind of creative collaboration we love to highlight.

In the past year, UO continued to chronicle innovative urban thinking across the five boroughs while also sharing stories from the metro region – from Yonkers to Newark to Ronkonkoma. In addition to interviews with urbanists of different stripes – such as recycling leader Thomas Outerbridge, veteran urban affairs columnist Constance Rosenblum, and urban sociologist Eric Klinenberg – we also published probing journalism on topics including public art, public service, and public housing.

Public housing was also the focus of the latest event in the Urban Omnibus Supper Series, occasional dinners that invite conversation and debate, accompanied by great food and drink, about important urban issues. Experimenting with new ways to engage with our collaborators and readers, in person and around the city, will continue to be an important element of our mission to enrich the culture of citymaking.

Our third annual writing competition yielded 96 submissions from around the world. For the first time, in partnership with McNally Jackson Books, we were able to produce a booklet collecting the winning essays, which we launched at a jam-packed reading. The first run of the booklet sold out by the end of the evening.

Other special projects and series delved deep into specific issues or places. For example, our ongoing Typecast series explores the lived experience of building typologies, such as towers-in-the-park, that we think we know but have not recently rethought or probed deeply. UO continues to look forward to nourishing our readership’s passionate enthusiasm for understanding how the city works and imagining how it might work better in the future.

None of the League’s work would be possible without the loyal and passionate community of individuals, design offices, foundations, corporate sponsors, and others that provides support for the League’s programming. We warmly thank you for your dedication to the League. We particularly thank our members, who form the core of The Architectural League, and who – in the same tradition as those young architects of 1881 – gather together in the cause of mutual education and the advancement of the art of architecture.

This past year also saw three fantastic benefits in support of League programming. More than fundraisers, these occasions provide moments of celebration in community, and, we hope, a fun night.

In September at the 69th Regiment Armory, over 1,300 guests gathered at our annual Beaux Arts Ball. Under the theme “-ism,” the League commissioned SITU Studio and Processional Arts Workshop to create an immersive environment and performance, which alluded to the landmark Armory Show of modernist art, held in the same space 100 years prior in 1913.

In May, the League honored the sculptor Richard Serra with its President’s Medal. At a dinner for 300 at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Club, League President Annabelle Selldorf, early Serra patron Emily Rauh Pulitzer, and architects Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi, whose Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle is the site of an important Serra sculpture, spoke of his profound influence on both art and architecture.

And as discussed by my colleague Cassim Shepard, this year’s Urban Omnibus Block Party was a riotous gathering in Gowanus and celebrated the publication’s fifth year.
