Book Presentation by Andrew Ross
Sunbelt Blues: The Failure of American Housing (Macmillan, 2021)*
Through visceral, frontline reporting from the motels and encampments dotting central Florida, renowned social analyst Andrew Ross exposes the overlooked housing crisis sweeping America’s suburbs and rural areas, where residents suffer ongoing trauma, poverty, and nihilism. As millions of renters face down evictions and foreclosures in the midst of the COVID-19 recession, Andrew Ross reveals how ineffective government planning, property market speculation, and poverty wages have combined to create this catastrophe. Urgent and incisive, Sunbelt Blues offers original insight into what is quickly becoming a full-blown national emergency.
Presentation will be held via Zoom; Meeting ID: 980 3862 9203 / Passcode 160511.
*Book signing will take place immediately following event at the Thomas P. Murphy Design Studio Terrace. Books will be available for purchase.

Time | Space | Existence - Agency in Design Panel Discussion
Presented by The European Cultural Centre (ECC), AIA Miami, MCAD and U-SoA
The panel discussion, Agency in Design, fuses notions of vigilance, control, sociopolitical and environmental concerns through a conversation on spatial vernaculars and architectural typology’s role in their past and future manifestations. [spatial vernacular is a local expression of built forms that collectively define the physical conditions of an environment] Recent collaborations on MAS Context: Vigilantism and persistent dialogues on domesticity within each speaker’s work set the table for this group’s conversation. Moderated by Christopher Meyer, the panel will engage in an open and critical dialogue reaching across time, terrain, and race to interrogate the potentials of architectural education and practice. Confirmed panelists include Margi Nothard, Shawna Meyer, Germane Barnes, Shawhin Roudbari and moderated by Christopher Meyer.
Via Zoom. For Zoom link, register at agencyin-design-panel.eventbrite.com.
