Under her direction\, the center evolved into a coll aborative platform that operates at the intersection of university\, gover nment\, and community stakeholders\, providing opportunities for students\ , staff\, and faculty to apply their expertise to projects with local impa ct. In 2021\, Cathi was elevated into the AIA College of Fellows for her w ork in both education and practice. Cathi was born and raised in Honolulu.   She received her B.A. from Stanford University and M.Arch from U.C. Ber keley.\n\n"Voyaging in Place: Community Design in Hawaii": Hawai’i is ho me to one of the world’s most remote urban populations. As an island arc hipelago populated by 1.4 million residents -- the result of years of colo nization\, immigration\, militarization\, and globalization -- contemporar y Hawai’i offers a unique context for community design pedagogy and prac tice. In 2016\, the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa School of Architectu re established the University of Hawai’i Community Design Center (UHCDC) \, a teaching practice that applies the resources of the university to cri tical built environment issues facing the state. Close collaboration with state legislators led to a public-sector public-interest practice model th at engages students\, staff\, and faculty members on projects that combine government alignment\, community engagement\, applied research\, and desi gn inquiry. This presentation will look more deeply at an effort to addres s the disproportionate representation of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islan ders in Hawai’i’s criminal justice system and to facilitate systemwide reform. The multi-year effort\, supported by teams drawn from architectur e\, landscape architecture\, planning\, social work\, public health\, Hawa iian studies\, and law\, explores place\, culture\, and community-based ju stice models and realizable steps toward more just and restorative alterna tives. The work\, presented as a Hawaiʻi-centric community design toolkit \, offers a hyperlocal but translatable process of voyaging in place.\n\nS uggested Reading: www.hookaulike.org\n\n \;\n\n"Across the Pacific Rim : Architecture and Landscape in Translation" begins with what the Pacific Ocean is: a fluid place\, a sea where ideas\, people\, and artifacts move. It questions the framing of this great body of water as a barrier or a vo id\, concepts that are rooted in colonialism and imperialism. Instead\, it posits the Pacific as an active stage for exchanging and translating idea s\, concepts\, materials\, and technologies about constructed environments . The designers\, scholars\, practitioners\, and activists featured in thi s series are situated along the Pacific Rim. They examine areas\, products \, and product histories along the Pacific Rim. They call on this position ality to offer exceptional\, transnational\, boundary-breaking\, hybrid pr actices and research that contribute to a shared environment and a collect ive future.\n\n \;\n\nAll lectures are free\, open to the public\, and held in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture Sciame Audito rium. Please note a remote viewing option will not be available for this l ecture. \n\nSee https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/return-campus for current requi rements for in-person visitors.\n\n \;\n\nThis lecture series is made possible by the Spitzer Architecture Fund and the generous support of Fran k Sciame ’74\, CEO of Sciame Construction.
