SUMMARY:Lecture: The New Aesthetic of Data Narrative
DESCRIPTION:How can data-driven visualizations tell multiple interplaying stories and achieve a viable result in an abstract visual composition? How can we provide multi-levels of investigation of a certain phenomenon in paper-based data visualization as if it were an interactive piece? How can we create experiences where readers lose themselves? \nThis talk will mainly rely on a series of exploratory data visualizations originally published for La Lettura\, the Sunday cultural supplement of Corriere della Sera with Giorgia Lupi’s team at Accurat. It will outline the design process from the very first idea to the final results in different cases\, presenting backstage materials such as sketches and intermediate versions\, elucidating our personal aims\, purposes\, and expectations within this exploratory project. Accurat aims to deliver rich visual narratives able to maintain the complexity of the data\, while still making this complexity more accessible and understandable\, publishing compound and complex stories told through data visualizations. \nRSVP Required \nEvent site: http://interactiondesign.sva.edu/events/view/accurat \nImage source: Giorgia Lupi

SUMMARY:Supertall\, Supergreen
DESCRIPTION:Judith Dupré\, Adrian Smith and special guests – Architectural Explorations in Books Series Event \nWednesday\, January 15\, 2014\, 6 – 8 p.m.\nNew York Public Library: Stephen A. Schwarzman Building\, Margaret Liebman Berger Forum \nJoin architectural historian Judith Dupré\, renowned architect Adrian Smith\, and additional special guests to explore the latest environmental innovations in skyscrapers. The look of cities is changing as designers and builders realize that the best tall buildings arise from working\, as the ancients did\, hand in hand with nature. Tapping into the elemental forces of the sun\, wind\, and water\, today’s green skyscrapers are pushing the extreme frontiers of environmental\, structural\, and creative possibility. That sensibility is also strengthening bonds between architects and engineers who\, more than ever\, are joining forces to find aesthetically pleasing\, environmentally astute solutions. \nJudith Dupré\, SKYSCRAPERS: A History of the World’s Most Extraordinary Buildings \nIn the book SKYSCRAPERS: A History of the World’s Most Extraordinary Buildings\, Judith Dupré takes us on a chronological tour—spanning 125 years and circling the globe—of the world’s tallest buildings\, designed by such star architects as Adrian Smith\, Norman Foster\, Zaha Hadid\, Philip Johnson\, Morphosis\, Jean Nouvel\, Renzo Piano\, and Skidmore\, Owings & Merrill. Breathtaking full color photographs capture the buildings’ monumental scale and larger-than-life personalities\, while the book’s design and oversize format mirrors the shape of its subject. Admire such classic masterpieces as the Chrysler Building\, Willis (Sears) Tower\, and the Transamerica Pyramid\, and fall in love with the newest skyscrapers\, including the Shard of London\, International Commerce Centre in Hong Kong\, and Makkah Clock Royal Tower in Mecca. SKYSCRAPERS features a fascinating introductory interview with Adrian Smith\, designer of the Burj Khalifa and the world’s newest tallest\, the Kingdom Tower\, now rising in Saudi Arabia. \nCopies of SKYSCRAPERS (Black Dog & Leventhal) are available for purchase and signing at the event after audience Q&A. \n \nMasdar City Headquarters\, Abu Dhabi\, UAE. Photo: Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture \n  \nJudith Dupré is passionate about the built environment. Above all\, she seeks to engage and delight those who profess “not to know much” about architecture. Few writers possess her breadth of experience in writing about history through the lens of a single building type\, whether skyscrapers\, bridges\, memorials\, or churches. A New York Times bestselling author published in ten languages\, she has written books about all these subjects\, including Skyscrapers\, the best selling book in the world on that topic; Bridges; Churches; and Monuments: America’s History in Art and Memory. Her editorials have appeared in America\, Architectural Record\, USA Today\, The Daily Beast\, and the Huffington Post\, among others. A graduate of Brown and Yale universities\, she also serves as a design facilitator on large-scale infrastructure projects. \n \nMasdar City Headquarters cross section\, Abu Dhabi\, UAE. Photo: Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture \nAdrian Smith has been a practicing architect for over 40 years. His extraordinary body of work includes some of the world’s most recognizable landmark structures\, including the Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai\, China; Rowes Wharf in Boston\, Massachusetts and Burj Khalifa in Dubai\, the world’s tallest structure. His design for the Kingdom Tower in Saudi Arabia is slated to be the first structure to exceed 1\,000 meters. Adrian was a Design Partner in the Chicago office of Skidmore\, Owings & Merrill from 1980 to 2006. In 2006\, he founded Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture\, a firm that designs high-performance\, energy-efficient\, and sustainable structures around the globe. \n\n

SUMMARY:Business Continuity Planning for Affordable Housing Organizations
DESCRIPTION:Being responsive in the wake of a disaster or emergency means being prepared for a variety of inevitable situations. The purpose of a business continuity plan or a disaster recovery plan is to prepare your organization  in the event of extended service outages caused by factors beyond your control (e.g.\, natural disasters\, man-made events)\, and to restore services to the widest extent possible in a minimum timeframe. This process is difficult enough for large businesses\, but can be very daunting for community based housing  organizations that often have less staff and resources and who are responsible for dozens\, hundreds\, if not thousands of homes and residents.  This course will lead participants through a set of strategies and tools for the development of an effective Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for their Community Development Organization (CDO).  \nFree tickets here.

SUMMARY:The ethics of climate change
DESCRIPTION:Concluding the fall’s The Five Thousand Pound Life programming\, which focuses on climate change communication and ethics\, Stephen Gardiner will explore how individuals should think about their responsibilities within a global\, intergenerational crisis such as climate change. \nThe lecture will begin by framing the climate problem as a severe ethical challenge: a “perfect moral storm.”  It will then confront the worry\, memorably expressed by Dale Jamieson\, that “today we face the possibility that the global environment may be destroyed\, yet no one will be responsible.” \nRSVP Here…
