CLOG : PRISONS Launch Event Spitzer School of Architecture, New York May 5 at 6:30pm DANGEROUS ARCHITECTURE: HUMAN RIGHTS AND DESIGNERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES In many countries, architects assume that designing to meet the local building code assures that their buildings are safe for the public. But what if a building’s harm is not in the risk of the building falling down, but in the building performing as intended? If designed for the wrong purpose, can a building be a human rights violation, and if so, what should an architect do about it? Coinciding with the release of CLOG : PRISONS, the J. Max Bond Center on Design for the Just City and the Masters of Urban Design Program at the Spitzer School of Architecture are hosting a lecture and panel response organized by CLOG that will critically examine the architecture of incarceration. Lecture: Raphael Sperry President of Architects, Designers, Planners for Social Responsibility Response Panel: Jeff Goodale Global Justice Director, HOK Amir Varick Amma Formerly Incarcerated; Social Activist; Member of the Campaign to End the New Jim Crow and Co-founder of P.A.P.A II Dr. Divine Pryor Executive Director of the Center for NuLeadership on Urban Solutions Moderators: Jacob Reidel Editor, CLOG Michael Sorkin Director of Graduate Urban Design Program, CCNY Location: J.
