Join us on 27 Feb 2024 for the finale event of CSM's fourth Digital Innovation Season, Spacesuits: A Wearable Architecture.
Nicholas De Monchaux will be delivering a keynote lecture to conclude Digital Innovation Season, followed by a Q&A session.
The keynote will explore how the twenty-one-layer Apollo spacesuit, made by Playtex, was a triumph of intimacy over engineering.
In Spacesuit, Nicholas de Monchaux tells the story of the twenty-one-layer spacesuit in twenty-one chapters. He addresses a different topic in each, relevant to the suit, the body, and the technology of the twentieth century, including: eighteenth-century androids, Christian Dior's New Look, Atlas missiles, cybernetics and cyborgs, latex, JFK's carefully cultivated image, the CBS lunar broadcast soundstage, NASA's Mission Control, and the applications of Apollo-style engineering to city planning.
The twenty-one-layer spacesuit, de Monchaux argues, tells us about redundancy and interdependence and about the distinctions between natural and man-made complexity. It teaches us to know the virtues of adaptation and to see the future as a set of possibilities rather than a scripted scenario.The event will be held onsite at Central Saint Martins for UAL students only. External attendees can watch the event broadcast live on YouTube. A link will be sent prior to the event start date. About the speaker:Nicholas de Monchaux is Professor and Head of Architecture at MIT. Until 2020 he was Professor of Architecture and Urban Design, and Craigslist Distinguished Chair in New Media at UC Berkeley, where he also served as Director of the Berkeley Center for New Media. De Monchaux is the author of Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo (MIT Press, 2011), an architectural and urban history of the Apollo Spacesuit, winner of the Eugene Emme award from the American Astronautical Society and shortlisted for the Art Book Prize, as well as Local Code: 3,659 Proposals about Data, Design, and the Nature of Cities (Princeton Architectural Press, 2016). His design work has been exhibited widely, including at the Biennial of the Americas, the Venice Architecture Biennale, The Lisbon Architecture Triennial, SFMOMA, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the Storefront for Art and Architecture and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. His work has been supported by the MacDowell Colony, the Santa Fe Institute, the Smithsonian Institution, the Hellman Fund, and the Bakar Fellows Program. He is a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome.

本來覺得坐摩天輪特俗，但倫敦眼讓我打臉了！膠囊艙升到最高點時，突然明白為什麼英國人愛聊天氣&mdash;&mdash;泰晤士河、大本鐘和碎片大廈在陽光下閃閃發光的樣子，確實每天都不一樣。落地后發現照片全拍成玻璃反光的朦朧美，算了，留點遺憾才真實。
