Wong Auditorium USC School of Architecture As part of Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design Hosted by Craft Contemporary and USC School of Architecture Our built environment is the physical stage on which all human stories are lived out. This physical stage is the historical and ongoing manifestation of human imagination operating within real (or, imaginary!) constraints. Anupama Kundoo advances the idea that architectural imagination must transcend design and enter the realms of materials science and economics where some of the bigger questions reside. She will discuss the thrust of her inquiries which have been to find practical ways to fulfill the universal human aspiration for refuge, purpose, and social engagement through extensive material research and experimentation. She will discuss 'Human Time as a Resource' in the quest for new materiality and critically examine the way the time value of money has nudged us towards code-based design and the industrialized production of building components and, sometimes, even entire buildings themselves. She will discuss materiality and consumption of finite natural resources alongside their impact on human wellbeing and human resourcefulness. The act of building produces knowledge just as the resulting knowledge produces buildings. About Anupama Kundoo Anupama Kundoo graduated from University of Mumbai in 1989 and received her PhD degree from TU Berlin in 2008. Her research-oriented practice started in 1990 in Auroville has generated people centric architecture based on spatial and material research for low environmental impact while being socio-economically beneficial. Her body of works was recently exhibited as a solo show 'Taking Time' at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark. She has taught Architecture and Urban Management at various international universities strengthening her expertise in rapid urbanization and climate change related development issues including at the University of Queensland at Brisbane, TU Stuttgart, and Columbia University. She is currently Professor of Architecture at T.U. Berlin, and the Norman Foster visiting Professor at Yale University. Kundoo received the RIBA Charles Jencks award for her contribution to architectural theory, the 2021 Auguste Perret Prize for architectural technology, the 2021 Building Sense Now global award of the German Sustainable Building Council DGNB, and the Global Award for Sustainable architecture under UNESCO patronage in 2022. Her studios are based in Berlin in Germany, and Mumbai and Pondicherry in India. Kundoo’s rigorous research and experimentation in new materiality for architecture is the result of questioning basic assumptions, construction habits that humanity has adopted during the long process of industrialization. Rather than focusing on shortage, she sought abundance through investing in human resources and human resourcefulness, such as ingenuity, time, skills, care and sense of community. MATERIAL ACTS This lecture is organized as part of Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design, and is hosted by Craft Contemporary and USC School of Architecture as part of the regional initiative Getty PST ART: Art and Science Collide. The exhibition Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design examines the role of nature as a starting point for material experimentation in the domains of architecture, craft, and science. While nature has often stood in as a model, metaphor, or resource for designers, the recent global upheavals in climate, ecology, and technology are driving intensive understandings of nature’s tangible and imagined substrate. The exhibition examines how contemporary design practices mobilize, confound, and generate natures, whether through simulating mechanics or growing biological matter. On view until January 5, 2024 at Craft Contemporary. ABOUT CRAFT CONTEMPORARY ⁣Founded as a museum in 1973, Craft Contemporary reveals the potential of craft to educate, captivate, provoke, and empower. With a focus on contemporary art made from craft media and processes, Craft Contemporary presents dynamic exhibitions by established and emerging artists and designers who are often underrepresented in larger art institutions. Craft Contemporary complements these exhibitions with a creative line-up of educational programs, including hands-on workshops led by professional artists. Craft Contemporary cultivates an environment for people in Los Angeles to deepen their relationship to art, creativity, and one another. https://www.craftcontemporary.org ABOUT GETTY PACIFIC STANDARD TIME Southern California’s landmark arts event, Pacific Standard Time (PST), returns in September 2024, presenting more than 50 exhibitions from organizations across the region, all exploring the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART: Art & Science Collide follows Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA (September 2017–January 2018) and Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945–1980 (October 2011– March 2012). PST ART is a Getty initiative. Generous support of Material Acts: Experimentation in Architecture and Design is provided by The Getty Foundation. Additional Support is provided by The National Endowment for the Arts, Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, and The Antonia and Vladimir Kulaev Cultural Heritage Fund.

我們去参觀時，恰巧碰到大學生的入學時間，排了好長一段路才把車子順利開進校園的停車場。裏面有很多建築物能参觀，最知名的應該就是他們的熊的雕像跟倒流的瀑布。不過此次沒有詳細調查，所以比較像是瞎晃，然後體驗一下美國名校的氛圍。校園內的商店還有販售一些周邊商品，有需要的也可以去選購。

加州迪士尼樂園

学校🏫

迪士尼樂園：被精心計算的童話幻覺  

        這座1955年誕生的主題樂園，本質上是一座快樂工廠。當你穿過睡美人城堡的拱門，就踏入了一個用美元、霓虹燈和工業香精構建的烏托邦。  

       &quot;星戰：銀河邊緣&quot;區是最昂貴的幻境。千年隼號駕駛艙的按鈕真實到令人不安，而穿著外星制服的員工會用克林貢語般的問候語，讓你瞬間相信自己在某個遙遠星系。相比之下，&quot;小小世界&quot;的機械木偶巡遊像是甜蜜的精神汙染&mdash;&mdash;那首循環播放的童謠，三小時後還在你腦內自動重播。  

         夜間巡遊才是真正魔法時刻。當電子花車照亮美國小鎮大街，當煙花在睡美人城堡上空炸出米奇形狀，最世故的成年人也會變成瞳孔放大的孩子。這恰恰是迪士尼最精明的設計：它不販賣遊樂設施，而是出售一種名為&quot;相信魔法&quot;的短暫精神癥狀。建議週二前往，你會看到玩偶服裡的演員趁人少時偷偷靠在牆上喘氣&mdash;&mdash;這是童話王國最真實的瞬間。

好吧，這真是擁擠的一天。很多學校團體。另外，當我們到達時，下一張可用票的時間是 2 小時後。我們每人花了18美元，另外還有停車費15美元。我認為這次體驗非常好。這些事情我很感興趣，所以我根本不介意等待。但它確實變得擁擠。

格里菲斯天文台

天文館

格里菲斯天文台：星空與塵世的交界點  

       這座1935年落成的裝飾藝術建築，懸浮在好萊塢山腰，像一具巨大的天文儀器對準洛杉磯盆地。免費開放的設定，使它成為這座城市最慷慨的觀景平台。  

       主展廳的傅科擺最富哲學意味。黃銅重錘在星圖地板上劃出緩慢偏移的軌跡，無聲證明著地球自轉的物理事實。地下一層的特斯拉線圈表演時，人造閃電在穹頂炸裂，將科學演示變成現代巫術秀。但真正的靈魂在夜間天台&mdash;&mdash;當城市燈光如岩漿般在腳下蔓延，肉眼可見的銀河卻懸在頭頂，構成荒誕的天人交戰。  

       建議日落前一小時抵達。先在西露台看陽光為好萊塢標誌鍍金，再於暮色中排隊觸摸天文望遠鏡。那些排隊的情侶、架三腳架的攝影師和數星星的孩子，在望遠鏡的金屬外殼上投下交疊的剪影&mdash;&mdash;這或許比天體本身更值得觀察。離場時別忘了回望希臘劇院風格的圓頂，愛因斯坦銅像正在門廊陰影裡微笑，彷彿早已知曉人類對宇宙的所有痴迷。
