How is design taught? How are design theories, designed artifacts,
built and unbuilt, architectures and cities archived?
Where is information stored digitally and physically? How do we interact with archives?
How do archives warp history and how can we begin to use archives to imagine, celebrate and protest?
Design Focus: Architecture, Object Design, Web Design
Concept Focus: Archives

Center for Engaged Pedagogy: This event explores local histories of design, pedagogy, and activism both within and outside campus. The event is organized on the occasion of the publication of Radical Pedagogies (MIT Press, 2022), and will consist of a short introduction to the book by the four editors (Beatriz Colomina, Ignacio G. Galán, Evangelos Kotsioris, Anna-Maria Meister) and presentations by Brian Goldstein (concerning on a series of design workshops for teenagers in Harlem to gain expertise about their neighborhood), Ivan L. Munuera (concerning the Gay Parties at Columbia as a pedagogical experience), and Sharon Sutton (concerning a number of pedagogical transformations that accompanied a cohort of ethnic minority students at the Architecture School at Columbia). The event will finish with a number of workshop activities organized by the CEP.
