SCI-Arc’s Fall Lecture Series: Public Works: Projects in Play October 10, 2007

The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) is pleased to announce the fall 2007 Lecture Series featuring world-renowned architects focusing on architectural innovation. Beginning September 26 at 7pm and continuing on Wednesday nights through November 28, the SCI-Arc Lecture Series presents nine relevant lectures focusing on innovative practices in architecture and architectural theory

MY Studio/ Höweler + Yoon Architecture is a multidisciplinary practice, operating in the space between architecture, art, and landscape. Engaged in projects of all scales, they believe in an embodied experience of architecture, seeing media as materials and its effects as palpable elements of architectural speculation. Specializing in interactive environments and intersect in the relationship between technology and the body, they are determined to translate conceptual ideas in the real world, testing projects ranging from concept clothing, artist books, installation and architecture through the dynamic interaction between the construct and the larger public.

MY Studio/ Höweler + Yoon’s work was featured in the 2006 National Design Biennial at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in New York. Their work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. They were one of five finalists in the 2006 PS/MOMA Young Architects Competition and were selected for the Architectural League of New York Emerging Voices in 2007. Their work has been reviewed and published in The New York Times, Boston Globe, the New Yorker, Domus, Archis, and ID Magazine.

SCI-Arc Lectures begin at 7pm in the W. M. Keck Lecture Hall (Main Space) at SCI-Arc, 960 East 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013. Lectures are free and no reservations are required. Lectures can also be streamed live on SCI-Arc’s website at www.sciarc.edu/live.
