See above or on YouTube.\n\n \;\nForum on the Nature of Enclosure\n Jeffrey S. Nesbit and Shawn Rickenbacker come together to discuss the upco ming book\, Nature of Enclosure (Actar Publishers\, 2022). In this forum \, topics and themes challenge historical episodes of the enclosed environ ment and reflect on its cultural impact in contemporary society.\n\nFrom C rystal Palace in 1851 to Buckminster Fuller’s Spaceship Earth in 1969\, nature became enclosed. Claimed to be a reaction of Norbert Weiner’s cyb ernetics\, Fuller’s geodesic domes became symbols of American countercul ture. Yet\, from Fuller’s description of Spaceship Earth “sea masters\ ,” the dome seems to prioritize an environment of occupation inside the dome\, over those residing outside--a world of civilized control on its in terior and wilderness\, war\, and wasteland on the other side. Nature of E nclosure is a series of conversations to gather experts from a range of di sciplines\, including architects\, landscape architects\, historians\, des ign theory scholars\, geographers\, historians of science and technology\, and professionals at the intersection of architecture and the environment . "Forum on the Nature of Enclosure" is convened by Shawn Rickenbacker and Jeffrey S. Nesbit.\n\nContributing Authors:\nAntoine Picon\, Lydia Kallip oliti\, Jordan Bimm\, Aleksandra Jaeschke\, Fred Scharmen\, Rachel Armstro ng\, David Salomon\, Mae-ling Lokko\, Daniel Barber\, Kathy Velikov\, Geof frey Thün\, Daisy Ames\, Galo Canizares\, Mariano Gomez Luque\, Shawn Ric kenbacker\, Ersela Kripa\, Stephen Mueller\, Joël Vacheron\, Julia Smachy lo\, Joshua Nason\, and Mishuana Goeman.\n\n \;\nSPEAKERS\nJeffrey S. Nesbit\n\nJeffrey S. Nesbit is an architect\, urbanist\, founding director of the research group Grounding Design\, and recently received his Doctor of Design degree (DDes) from Harvard University Graduate School of Design . His work focuses on processes of urbanization\, infrastructure\, and the evolution of "technical lands." Currently\, Nesbit’s research examines the 20th-century American spaceport complex at the intersection of archite cture\, infrastructure\, and aerospace history. He has written several jou rnal articles and book chapters on infrastructure\, urbanization\, and the history of technology\, and is co-editor of New Geographies 11 Extraterre strial (Actar\, 2019)\, Rio de Janeiro: Urban Expansion and Environment  (Routledge\, 2019)\, Chasing the City: Models for Extra-Urban Investiga tions (Routledge\, 2018)\, and host of Nature of Enclosure\, a podcast series on urbanNext. He currently holds the H. Deane Pearce Endowed Chair in the College of Architecture at Texas Tech University.\n\n \;\n\nSh awn Rickenbacker\n\nShawn Rickenbacker serves as Director of the J. Max Bo nd Center for Urban Futures at Spitzer and is a published and award-winnin g designer\, entrepreneur and educator in the design and technology fields . As an experienced creative and technologist\, he continues to work at th e convergence of digital and physical space and its relationship to human interaction and experience. His work concentrates on the research\, design and development of context aware environments that productively enhance h umans’ interactions with each other and their evolving digital world. Th rough deep insight and high impact innovations\, he seeks to create value by solving compelling problems using technology.\n\nShawn has emerged from a diverse geographic as well as professional background having held desig n positions in the US and London\, lecturing in Waterloo\, Helsinki and To kyo and conducting research in South Africa.
