As the launch for the Detroit School Project RIW Winter lecture series, we are delighted to host Anya Sirota for a lecture and conversation about community-based design and architecture in Detroit. Thank you for forwarding this message.
Anya Sirota is Assistant Professor of Architecture at Taubman College and the principal architect at Akoaki, a Detroit-based art and architecture practice with an established reputation for original projects that materialize utopian ambitions in complex urban scenarios (www.akoaki.com). A prolific innovator whose work spans film, print, performance, and architecture, Sirota is a driving force behind multiple collective avant-garde productions in Detroit, including the Detroit Culture Council, the One Mile Project and One Mile Zine, the Mothership, and the Oakland Urban Farm, as well many other ongoing projects, temporary exhibits, and targeted actions aimed at sustaining community in SE Michigan and in France. In her practice and her teaching, Sirota focuses on the relationship between architecture and contemporary cultural production, critically re-evaluating how architecture can sustain heritage and participate in public discourse.
On Friday, January 27 from 4:15-6:15 PM in the Rackham West Conference Room, Sirota will discuss with us her vision for community-based learning and design, the partnership process, and "radical preservation." Please join us!
