SUMMARY:Fall 2024 Sciame Lecture Series: María Carrizosa
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\nMaría Carrizosa is Associate Director for Global Housing Policy at
  Habitat for Humanity International. She holds a PhD in Public and Urban P
 olicy\, MA in Geography\, MS in International Affairs and two Bachelor Deg
 rees in Architecture and Philosophy. Her experience includes work at The N
 ew School\, Slum Dwellers International\, the Colombian government\, and i
 nternational organizations (IFC\, UNDP\, CAF\, World Bank). She was adjunc
 t professor at The New School and City College-CUNY between 2014 and 2023.
  Her publications include: Homes at Work (2023)\, Housing Policy in Latin 
 America (2020)\, Urban Informality and the Making of African Cities (2022)
 \, and Kazakhstan’s Human Development Report (2019).\n\n"Homes at Work":
  Housing is a means to achieve most other human rights. It is a condition 
 to achieve wellbeing and welfare\, directly contributing to the wealth of 
 nations. But housing is more than that. This talk will explain how\, becau
 se of the way housing is used (especially in informal settlements that mak
 e the bulk of the urban fabric in the global South)\, housing is also a pu
 blic good. Despite not being accounted as such\, the intense use of space 
 within houses makes them a core component of the income\, social protectio
 ns\, and urban services of neighborhoods\, cities\, and countries. This ta
 lk will walk the reader through the research in the book “Homes at Work
 ” explaining how it came into being\, describing the visual interviewing
  methodology it developed\, and finally discussing what its findings mean 
 for research\, design\, practice\, and policy.\n\nSuggested Reading: Carri
 zosa\, María. (2023). No House is Just a House: House Interviews\, Space-
 Use Intensity\, and City-Making. Built Environment. 49. 440-463(24). 10.21

 amines innovative solutions to the global housing crisis. It situates our 
 contemporary dilemma in the powerful arguments made by Friedrich Engels in
  the 1870s and 1880s. In his revolutionary text\, The Housing Question\, E
 ngels argued that the dearth of adequate shelter was an inevitable consequ
 ence of the Industrial Revolution. As a result of working-class exploitati
 on endemic to capitalist modernity\, the housing crisis was resolvable onl
 y by a revolutionary reconstruction of workers’ power that would result 
 in the collective ownership of land and the means of production. “Design
  Matters” inverts Engels’s argument\, putting design\, architecture\, 
 and planning first. It expands his geographic\, cultural\, and temporal fr
 ame to include cities outside of Western Europe\, and it probes places dam
 aged by the devastating consequences of war\, the climate emergency\, and 
 other catastrophes. A bevy of on-the-ground examples\, conceived at multip
 le scales and aimed at reconstruction\, are changing policy\, politics\, p
 ractice\, and design. In the face of extraordinary challenges\, architects
 \, planners\, and providers are collaborating to produce humane affordable
  solutions to the housing crisis\, and suggesting that architecture is nee
 ded to provoke political change.\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the pu
 blic\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sci
 ame Auditorium. For live captioning\, ASL interpretation\, or access reque

 nk Sciame ’74\, CEO of Sciame Construction.
