Redundancies and Erasures: a talk by Annette Fierro. Join us for an evening of deliberate redundancies and alternate routes at Studio-X NYC, as Annette Fierro, Associate Professor of Architecture at Penn Design, explores architectural paths in the shadow of the Blitz. As one of a series of public events accompanying artist Meg Studer’s Aerial Arts exhibit, Fierro's examination of aerial anxieties focuses on the notion of circulation, its wartime inversion (i.e. Tube- sheltering), and its post-war proliferation at the scale of civic architectures and cumulative urban forms. Post-war visionary architecture in London instigated redundant systems of movement and circulation that ultimately disintegrated into disjunctive overlays, networks “erased” into fabric. Exploring this sensibility, toward frayed networks, Annette will examine the great realized works of post-war London architecture: the Barbican and Southbank Centre. The talk will be followed by moderated Q & A discussion. Attendees will also be able to view the accompanying Aerial Arts exhibition. Free and open to the public; no RSVP necessary. http://events.gsapp.org/event/aerial-arts-networks-in-post-blitz-london
