Eric Höweler, “Clay: Pedagogy and Practice”
Показать описание
Event Description:
Clay is a material origin point that precedes architecture. An abundant raw material, clay’s primary quality is its plasticity, worked through repetition and practice into a fired brick or a glazed pot. Similarly, the processes of architectural design, development, and detailing are essential operations in the spaces of both pedagogy and practice. Professor Eric Höweler will present recent projects that highlight the processes and predicaments of contemporary practice, from reimagining the site of Shanghai Expo Park to shaping spaces for democracy and materializing sites of memory.
Speaker:
Eric Höweler, FAIA, LEED AP, is an architect, designer, and educator. He is co-founding partner of Höweler + Yoon and Professor of Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where he is the Program Director for the Masters of Architecture Program. Höweler’s design work and research focuses on building technology integration and material systems. His projects range from cultural buildings and mixed-use residential buildings, to public spaces and interactive environments. Notable completed projects include the MIT Museum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers at the University of Virginia, and the Coolidge Corner Theatre Expansion in Brookline, Massachusetts. Höweler’s work has been exhibited widely, including at the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in New York City, and the Venice Biennale. He is the co-author of Expanded Practice (Princeton Architectural Press, 2009) and Verify In Field: Projects and Conversations Höweler + Yoon (Park Books, 2021), and author of the forthcoming book, Design for Construction: The Tectonic Imagination in Contemporary Architecture (Routledge, 2025).
