March 12, 2021 @ 3:30 PM CT – Let’s Not Go Back to Normal – Property with Advancing Contemporary Theories Fellow Lindsey Krug hosted by Trudy Watt
As part of the Let’s Not Go Back to Normal series, SARUP’s Fitzhugh Scott Fellow Lindsey Krug will be joined by Vancouver-based designer and podcaster Khorshid Naderi-Azad in conversation around the theme of property. Krug and Naderi-Azad invite you to join them as they consider how various dimensions and definitions of property entwine with architecture to form complex ecosystems of players, places, histories, and hierarchies.
During the session, we will listen to an episode of the new sensory-rich design podcast Full Howz, produced, edited, and narrated by Naderi-Azad. Full Howz (available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts) frames architecture within the contemporary world of cultural production. It takes listeners into spaces and places that are ripe for review, building narratives through sound, history, and interviews. In Episode 3, “The Street Dining and the Sweet Dumpling,” Naderi-Azad transports us to New York City’s Chinatown, interviewing residents, community organizers, and designers to better understand recent post-pandemic design interventions, ranging from the constructive to the performative.
Using Chinatown as a case study, Krug and Naderi-Azad will discuss the role of designers in this larger ecosystem surrounding property and place. Zooming out, they will implicate design in recent events that implore us to redefine the scope of our discipline and its accepted ‘norms’.
