“Instead of indulging in nostalgia, or pretending to have more power than they do, architects should confront the problems already in front of them, of which there are plenty.” @maridapr thenation.com/article/cultur…

WE DID IT: with a landslide margin of 1785–912, we are officially the MITGSU-UE!!!
What started 4 years ago with a dozen students in an MIT classroom discussing the needs of graduate workers has culminated in this historic victory for student-workers at MIT. Now, we celebrate!
Join me at @IITArchitecture in Chicago? The IIT College of Architecture is seeking to fill two new faculty positions: a tenure-track assistant professor position and the new Rowe Fellowship for emerging academics (2-year appointment). Info on both: acsa-arch.org/opportunities/…

What's the view from your office worth? On the blog, @e_jaffe looks at the first research to measure office rental premiums on views and daylight, courtesy of @ituran + co. The work can guide commercial developers and city policy alike. medium.com/sidewalk-talk/the…

Happy to share new research on urban views — (1) introducing a method for analyzing views in buildings and (2) measuring the financial value of views in Manhattan office spaces — published in Landscape and Urban Planning: lnkd.in/dQfp84h
This work is a portion of my @MITarchitecture PhD dissertation, which I defended 1 yr ago. The research, as all academic work, is collaborative and I am grateful for the invaluable input of @andreachegut, Daniel Fink, and my advisor @CFReinhart.

Paul Rudolph's Boston Government Service Center is a beauty. The chapel in the Lindemann building is especially sublime. Petition to save (to adapt and reuse!) the complex: chng.it/mBH4xkz4 via @Change

'We don’t have to be pollyannish, or fatalistic. We can just be human. We can be messy, imperfect, contradictory, broken. We can recognize that “hopelessness” does not mean “helplessness.”'
Very wise and timely words from @MaryHeglar
