Lecture with Elisa Iturbe

November 20, 2020, 12:00 PM

We look forward to welcoming Elisa Iturbe, Critic at Yale School of Architecture and The Cooper Union, to speak as part of our 2020-21 lecture series.

Elisa Iturbe is a critic at the Yale School of Architecture (YSoA), where she teaches design studios and a seminar titled The City & Carbon Modernity, which explores the spatial expression of our dominant energy paradigm in both urban and architectural form. She also coordinates the dual-degree program between YSoA and the Yale School of the Environment. In addition, she is Adjunct Assistant Professor at The Cooper Union, where she teaches both studio and an environmental course on carbon modernity. Recently she guest edited Log 47, titled Overcoming Carbon Form, and co-wrote a book with Peter Eisenman titled Lateness. She is co-founder of the firm Outside Development, a design and research team that considers race, class, labor, and capitalism alongside form, proportion, and the production of urban fabric.

As a result of public health precautions put in place by the university, all lectures will be hosted virtually via Zoom.
