IURD LECTURE
Katharyne Mitchell: Moody’s Blues: Risk, Ratings, and the Production of Urban Space
Thursday, October 22, 2009
|
4:00 - 6:00 pm
|
305 Wurster
What makes a space risky? Dark alleys? Downgraded bonds? Mitchell examines the way that concepts of financial risk and physical risk come together and influence urban politics. Tracing the movement of two global companies—Moody’s Investors Service and Giuliani Partners—she shows how U.S. directed ideas about risk and security profoundly affect the governance of cities worldwide.
Katharyne Mitchell is Professor and Chair of Geography and the Simpson Professor of the Public Humanities at the University of Washington. Her topical interests include urban studies, migration, public scholarship, and education. In recent work she has written about immigrant integration in France, education and citizenship in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., and new urban technologies of social and spatial control. From 2004-2007 she was the director of the Reclaiming Childhood project, an interdisciplinary and community oriented collaboration examining the changing nature of American childhood under neoliberalism.

Brutal, yes, and stirring as well, San Francisco Chronicle, October 4 2009
Designed by Ernest Best (M.A. Arch. '23), the Glen Park BART station opened in 1973. The design of the station is part of the Brutalist movement. John King explains that the movement never caught on with the public, but he says the Glen Park BART station is surely the best of the 43 stations.

Ipe update brings order to Oakland courtyard, San Francisco, 4 October 2009
When redesigning their Oakland front yard, Steven Nelson and Brian Yoshida did not want to lose their beloved oak tree after their patio went into disarray. Alan Ohashi (M.A. Arch '83) and Joy Ohashi (M.A. Arch '82) used the new patio to highlight the tree. They built the porch around the oak using the best materials and in a way that would keep the patio fresh and new through the years.
