SUMMARY:Future Firm: Future / Practice
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeFriday\, Feb 12\, 2027 (4:00-5:00 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationArchitecture & Urban Planning Building\, Room 170 \n\n\n\n\n\nFounded by Ann Lui and Craig Reschke in 2015 and joined by principal Linda Chávez Baca in 2023\, Future Firm works across spatial scales with a focus on arts and culture organizations\, non-profits\, and mission-driven businesses. Future Firm operates on the core belief that architecture and design is a key ingredient in the building of a more equitable and vibrant city\, for everyone.  \n\n\n\nTo this end\, the firm’s approaches are built on the idea that design is a process\, not an end result\, which seeks to improve outcomes through iteration\, testing\, and discussion. In order to tackle these urgent questions in the built environment\, Future Firm’s practice is modeled after a mountain climbing team\, focusing on elevating diverse points of view and interdisciplinary approaches to solve complex challenges. The firm’s practice expands upon traditional scope of architectural practice—supporting partners in building momentum for their ideas through design\, research\, and strategic thinking.

SUMMARY:Sean Burkholder & Karen Luntsky  / Curious Methods: Contextual Design with Dynamic Landscape Systems
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeTuesday\, February 16\, 2027 (4:00-5:00 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationArchitecture & Urban Planning Building\, Room 170 \n\n\n\n\n\nThis talk will explore the role of curiosity\, experimentation\, and temporality through the work of two landscape architecture educators. It will use written\, instructed\, and built projects to make a case for a research and design practice that is more open to and inclusive of the spatial and temporal dynamics that make landscapes such delightful collaborators. \n\n\n\nGuests\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSean Burkholder\, Associate Professor\, Landscape Architecture\, Cornell University; Co-Founder\, Proof Project; Co-Director\, Healthy Port Futures project \n\n\n\nBurkholder is an Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at Cornell University. He is also co-founder of Proof Projects and co-director of the Healthy Port Futures project. His research and practice address challenges facing coastal landscapes\, with a particular focus on lake-based geographies. As a member of the Dredge Research Collaborative\, he examines coastal sediments and processes as a unifying thread across diverse coastal conditions. His work employs adaptive management\, environmental monitoring\, speculation\, and storytelling to envision positive futures grounded in temporality\, curiosity\, and experimentation. He co-authored Five Bay Landscapes: Curious Explorations of the Great Lakes Region (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2022) and is currently completing Lakemaker: Surveys\, Stories\, and Speculations of Held Water (AR+D). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaren Lutsky\, Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture\, Cornell University; Director/Founder\, Great Lakes Design Labs \n\n\n\nKaren Lutsky is an assistant professor of Landscape Architecture at Cornell University and the director/founder of the Great Lakes Design Labs. Before this recent move to Cornell\, Karen spent almost a decade in the Landscape Architecture Department at the University of Minnesota. Karen’s work focuses on how landscape architects and designers might better design ‘with’ changing landscapes. This work includes the development of the design approach\, ‘Curious Methods’\, and a particular emphasis on the ‘quick’ littoral landscapes of the Great Lakes Basin and ‘slow’ growth and cycles of trees and vegetation. She recently co-authored the University of Pittsburgh Press book Five Bay Landscapes: Curious Explorations of the Great Lakes Basin (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2022) and has also written articles and book chapters for publications such as Places Journal\, The Third Coast Atlas\, Conceptual Landscapes\, 30 Trees\, and Scenario Journal.

SUMMARY:Peterson Rich Office (PRO)  / Buildings Tell Stories
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeThursday\, April 8\, 2027 (4:00-5:00 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationArchitecture & Urban Planning Building\, Room 170 \n\n\n\n\n\nWe like to say that buildings tell stories. The goal is always to find a thread between what a building or a site has been and what it can become—adding something new and distinctly contemporary without erasing what came before. In practice\, this means new architecture layered within old\, and materials reused rather than discarded—finding value in what is already there. The lecture will highlight projects that try giving people a more complex relationship with history: not as something finished and separate\, but as something alive that we actively engage with\, reinterpret\, and continue. \n\n\n\nGuests\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeterson Rich Office (PRO) is an architecture and design practice recognized for cultural and publicly engaged projects at multiple scales. Since establishing the firm in 2014\, principals Miriam Peterson and Nathan Rich have led a diverse team in realizing projects for leading clients in the cultural\, residential\, retail\, and public sectors. \n\n\n\nThe firm has developed a significant body of work around adaptive reuse\, especially with projects that introduce new elements into structures of historic significance. \n\n\n\nMay 2026 saw the completion of new 12\,000 sf special exhibition spaces for The Metropolitan Museum of Art adjacent to the Great Hall\, with the Costume Institute’s annual spring exhibition\, Costume Art\, which PRO also designed. The project also includes a new entry to the museum\, a new ground level public concourse\, and a new stair in the Great Hall\, representing the first major investment the Metropolitan Museum has made in public spaces in more than 30 years. Other recent projects of note include the MoMA Design Store in Soho\, The Shepherd Gallery & Arts Center in Detroit\, the Pruzan Art Gallery at Wesleyan University\, and artist studios for Nina Chanel Abney and Mickalene Thomas. Through a multi-year partnership with NYCHA\, PRO leads inclusive community design initiatives that inform improvements to the nation’s largest public housing system and advance design excellence across renovations in all five boroughs.
