SUMMARY:Fall 2024 Sciame Lecture Series: Anna Pashynska and Tania Pashynska
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will be in person and is part of the Fall 2024 Sci
 ame Lecture Series\, titled "Design Matters: The Housing Question Revisite
 d."\n\nAnna Pashynska (left) is the co-founder and curator of the METALAB 
 city laboratory\, the CO-HATY affordable housing project\, and the POLE Re
 search and Product Design Center. She has over ten years of work experienc
 e in Ukraine and Austria as a curator\, project manager\, urban planner\, 
 and designer. Anna manages various projects\, specializing in spatial rese
 arch and design\, product design\, public space projects\, initiated commu
 nities\, and institutional planning.\n\nTania Pashynska (right) is co-foun
 der and architect of the CO-HATY affordable housing project in Ivano-Frank
 ivsk\, Ukraine. She is an architect\, stage designer\, and 3D artist. Most
  of her architectural practice has been focused on repurposing and plannin
 g residential buildings. Her designs are created through hands-on experime
 nts and collaborations with local manufacturers and the community. With a 
 background in dance\, she is keen on designing spaces for performances and
  movement.\n\n"From Rapid Sheltering to Social Housing": The discussion wi
 ll explore the transformative experience of providing housing in Ukraine\,
  highlighting the power of collaboration\, horizontal organizing\, and kno
 wledge exchange. It will demonstrate how architecture plays a critical rol
 e in building collective resistance\, offering hope to imperiled communiti
 es. It will also emphasize the shifting role of architects in times of cri
 sis and the importance of core values in the field. The presentation will 
 trace the evolution from a volunteering movement to pioneering new housing
  models that influence national policies and laws. The focus will be on th
 e mission-driven housing provided by the third sector\, which prioritizes 
 dignity\, community development\, circularity\, and innovative solutions. 
 These efforts are crucial for filling gaps left by the market and governme
 nt\, leveraging diverse funding sources\, and ensuring sustainability.\n\n
 Suggested Reading: Booklet for METALAB members Anna Pashynska\, Anna Dobro
 va\, Tania Pashynska\, Yuliia Holiuk\, and Yulia Rusylo's The Beauty of Ca
 re project\, which was showcased at the Ukrainian pavilion during the 18th
  Venice Architecture Biennale in 2023.\n\n"Design Matters: The Housing Que
 stion Revisited" examines innovative solutions to the global housing crisi
 s. It situates our contemporary dilemma in the powerful arguments made by 
 Friedrich Engels in the 1870s and 1880s. In his revolutionary text\, The H
 ousing Question\, Engels argued that the dearth of adequate shelter was an
  inevitable consequence of the Industrial Revolution. As a result of worki
 ng-class exploitation endemic to capitalist modernity\, the housing crisis
  was resolvable only by a revolutionary reconstruction of workers’ power
  that would result in the collective ownership of land and the means of pr
 oduction. “Design Matters” inverts Engels’s argument\, putting desig
 n\, architecture\, and planning first. It expands his geographic\, cultura
 l\, and temporal frame to include cities outside of Western Europe\, and i
 t probes places damaged by the devastating consequences of war\, the clima
 te emergency\, and other catastrophes. A bevy of on-the-ground examples\, 
 conceived at multiple scales and aimed at reconstruction\, are changing po
 licy\, politics\, practice\, and design. In the face of extraordinary chal
 lenges\, architects\, planners\, and providers are collaborating to produc
 e humane affordable solutions to the housing crisis\, and suggesting that 
 architecture is needed to provoke political change.\n\nAll lectures are fr
 ee\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School 
 of Architecture Sciame Auditorium. For live captioning\, ASL interpretatio
 n\, or access requests\, please contact ssadean@ccny.cuny.edu.\n\nThis lec
 ture series is made possible by the Spitzer Architecture Fund and the gene
 rous support of Frank Sciame ’74\, CEO of Sciame Construction.
