SUMMARY:Design x Technology Lecture: Christian Unverzagt
DESCRIPTION:Join Lawrence Technological University College of Architecture and Design for another innovative Design x Technology lecture.\n\n\nThis lecture can be watched on campus or online. \nDesign Director of M1DTW Architects\, Christian Unverzagt will speak on Notes on a Practice. \nChristian Unverzagt is a Detroit-based multidisciplinary designer who founded M1DTW\, a nationally recognized architecture and creative studio in 2000. Since that time he has worked to reshape practice through both the work of the practice and by working on the practice. \nM1DTW was recently recognized with a Best of Practice Award in the Small Firm category from The Architect’s Newspaper (AN) for its project portfolio and its Notes on a Practice\, a collection of reflections on various positions taken by the firm in running a practice. AN’s Executive Editor Jack Murphy summed it up: “The office has an attitude that appears to value engagement with the realities of practice\, from proper payment of workers to client satisfaction. It helps that their work backs up the idea\, as it transforms what could be mundane locales into considered sites for Midwestern life.”⁠ \nUnverzagt\, who is also an associate professor of practice in architecture at Taubman College will discuss several pivotal projects of the firm’s first twenty-five years of designing books\, brands\, buildings\, and more. \n \n\n\n\nNotes on a Practice could have alternatively been titled\, How Not to Start a Practice\, and is beneficial for any student of design interested in finding ways to put their work into practice. The lecture will showcase a series of projects\, mostly built in Michigan\, and will discuss the design process and outcomes at multiple scales\, understood within a field of a number of critical positions relative to labor\, investment\, time\, and effort. Come check it out! \n\n\n\nCEU: This lecture equals 1 professional architecture credit towards licensure requirements. LTU is not a registered AIA CE provider. By virtue of having a NAAB-accredited architecture program\, the State of Michigan authorizes LTU to offer continuing education credit. \nAs part of CoAD’s Design x Technology Lecture Series this lecture is free and open to the public. Guests may watch online or on campus. Register for the location/viewing details. \n\n\n\n\nAbout:Christian Unverzagt is an associate professor of practice in architecture at Taubman College.
