Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professorship 08
Michael Young, Kersten Geers, David Erdman

The future is not as far away as it might seem.
What seemed a problem of the next generation now has become a problem of tomorrow. We are accelerating towards a future that is evermore present, guided by political and economic forces that seem unintelligible. Is this quick-paced intangible progression, the role of the architect is at stake. How can architecture keep up with society? Can it adapt quickly enough to frame it? And is so, what should that frame look like?

The book features interviews with the professors and essays on their specific studio topics. Michael Young investigates the past from the future in Aesthetics of Accelerationism: The Icelandic Infrastructure 2036-2056.
Kersten Geers analyzes visions for agricultural ensembles for communal living in Architecture Without Consent 19: Almost Classicism. And David Erdman looks to the potential of building on top of housing estates in Hong Kong in Objects and Qualities.

Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professorship 05 Makram el Kadi, Ziad Jamaleddine, Tom Coward, Daisy Froud, Vincent Lacovara, Geoff Shearcroft, Hernan Diaz Alonso This is the fifth book documenting the Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professorship featuring the work of young architect-practitioners teaching in the advanced studios at Yale. The studios each explore new typologies and include the themes, “Once Upon A House,” taught by Hernan Diaz Alonzo of the L.A. based architectural practice Xefirotarch, which examined the relationship of types versus species, where type is viewed as “categories of standardization, then species are malleable entities in constant metamorphosis.” The brief called for a house to occupy a site in three acts by employing a cellular spatial logic. In subverting the typology of the house, the studio presents radical possibilities of inhabitation. In the “Expanded Mosque,” taught by Makram El Kadi and Ziad Jamaleddine of the New York and Beirut-based architectural practice L.E.F.T. the students critiqued architecturally both an
