The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...a 2x Faculty Book Launch.

McLain Clutter, Geoffrey Thün, and Kathy Velikov will be in conversation with Robert Fishman and John McMorrough around urbanism, research, speculation, and writing on the city.

McClain Clutter's Imaginary Apparatus: New York City and its Mediated Representation investigates the multivalent relationships between media production, urban policy, urban design and image-making in New York City during the John V. Lindsay mayoral tenure, a period coinciding with the urban crisis in American cities.

Geoffrey Thün and Kathy Velikov's Infra Eco Logi Urbanism: A Project for the Great Lakes Megaregion assembles analysis, research and theoretical writing with a speculative design project that examines extant and emerging urban systems within the Great Lakes Megaregion and develops a design proposition to leverage regional infrastructures toward resilient urban and public ends.
