15:45 – 16:30 – Prof. Charlotte Malterre-Barthes
Assistant Professor at Harvard Graduate School of Design, Cambridge, USA
Talk title:
Urban Design for an Uncertain Future: Facing Urgent Challenges
Abstract:
Faced with climate change, fast-paced urbanization, and environmental degradation everywhere, planning disciplines need to be repositioned to serve and address better these challenges. Inscribing her strategic practice within new and interconnected forms of action in the time of the Anthropocene, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes (Harvard GSD) will discuss her projective research, pedagogy, and design approach of architecture and urban design.
Short bio:
Charlotte Malterre-Barthes is an architect, scholar, urban designer and assistant professor of urban design at Harvard Graduate School of Design. Graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Marseille (ENSA) where she obtained in 2003 her diploma magna cum laude with ‘A Women Center in Baghdad’, tackling political and social involvements of architecture, she also studied at TU Vienna and ETH Zurich. She obtained in 2018 her doctoral degree at ETH on Food Territories, with Egypt as case study, nominated for the ETH Silver Medal. After interning at Coop Himmelb(l)au, Charlotte then collaborated with several offices (Balkrishna Doshi at Sangath, Rudy Ricciotti, OOS). In 2009, she founded OMNIBUS with Noboru Kawagishi, an urban design agency dedicated to new forms of practice and cultural production, of which the latest outputs are “Some Haunted Spaces in Singapore” (with M.Jäggi, Edition Patrick Frey, 2018) and “Eileen Gray: A House under the Sun” (with Z. Dzierżawska, Nobrow, 2019). As guest professor at TU Berlin (2018-2019) she investigated and challenged the predatorily modus operandi of real estate in the German capital, and as program director of the Master of Advanced Studies in Urban Design at the chair of Marc Angélil (2014-2019) focused on migration and urbanism in Meiterranean cities (Tangier, Marseille, Beirut). Charlotte curated with Ciro Miguel and Vanessa Grossman the 12th International Architecture Biennale of São Paulo on ‘Everyday’ (Sep-Dec. 2019). A research fellow at Future Cities Laboratory-Singapore in 2012-2013, Charlotte lectured and taught workshops at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, the AA, the Storefront for Art and Architecture, at Hong-Kong University, among others. Her works were widely published (AD, San Rocco, TRANS, Tracés, etc.) and exhibited (n.b.k Berlin, Architekturforum Zürich, Swiss and Egyptian Pavilions at the Venice Biennales, at the Bi-City Shenzhen Biennale, Institut du Monde Arabe, IFPO Cairo). With Marc Angélil, she edited “Housing Cairo: The Informal Response,” (DAM prizewinner 2016) and “Cairo Desert Cities” (Berlin, Ruby Press). In the frame of a vivid and decade-long political practice, Charlotte is also a founding member of the Parity Group, a grassroots association within ETH committed to improving gender equality at the school and in the profession—and outside of both.
