SUMMARY:Steep Urbanists Tour directed by Lina Bondarenko
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a participatory movement experience in architecture and perspective over Telegraph Hill.\nThis tour positions urban design as a collaboration with the earth’s geography.  \nThe plan of San Francisco drapes a city grid over 48 hills. Streets undulate like rollercoasters\, snaking around the land’s contours\, rupturing to reveal concrete walls bisected by vegetated staircases. Architects design horizontal planes to contort and step into vertical terrain. Steep slopes swap roles between the theater’s rake and the elevated stage. The observer is always observed. Distorted perspectives amplify the performance of everyday life through distance. \nSteep Urbanists are invited to dance through the spatial volumes of San Francisco’s sloped streets\, tuned to corresponding musical volumes that trace the synchronicity between a sound wave and an architectural section.  \nSteep Urbanist is a project investigating how human infrastructure responds to the logic of the land directed by Lina Bondarenko– an architect\, dancer\, educator\, and student.

SUMMARY:The Design Language of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to design spaces that evoke belonging? In this workshop\, we’ll investigate what belonging means to us and how it manifests in our physical spaces. Through creating a shared language of “patterns\,” we’ll discover design principles that can be applied across our environments. We’ll collaboratively push the boundaries of our imagination and prototype these envisioned spaces using generative AI.

With an early career beginning in Los Angeles to working as a design consultant and educator in New York City\, de Harak’s clients include The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Columbia Records\, Esquire magazine\, McGraw-Hill Publishing\, and the Cummins Engine Company\, among many others. Rational Simplicity: Rudolph de Harak\, Graphic Designer is the first publication to document de Harak’s career. \nThe event will take place at the Haworth Showroom in The Mills Building located at 220 Bush Street\, Suite 975\, approximately 2 blocks from Montgomery BART Station. \nPlease use the entrance at 220 Bush Street to access the building. All other entrances will be locked at the time of the event.

Throughout his career he has focused on a generalist approach to all aspects of design\, including graphic\, environmental\, interior\, and exhibition design\, dividing his time between professional practice and academia. He was Design Director and Managing Partner of Poulin + Morris Inc.\, a New York City-based multidisciplinary design consultancy he co-founded in 1989 with Douglas Morris. As a highly-respected educator\, he was an adjunct professor at Cooper Union and the School of Visual Arts for over two decades and a recipient of a research grant in design history from the Graham Foundation for the Advanced Studies in Fine Art. Richard is also a recipient of a Fellow from the Society for Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD)\, the profession’s highest honor; and his work is in the permanent design collections of the Denver Museum of Art\, Letterform Archive\, Library of Congress\, and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). He is the author of several books on graphic design\, typography\, and design history which have been translated into eight languages and used by students and practitioners worldwide. Richard’s new book\, a monograph on the life and work of Rudolph de Harak—Rational Simplicity: Rudolph de Harak\, Graphic Designer—traces the rich and varied career of one of the masters of American mid-century modernist graphic design and was released in the Fall of 2022 by Thames & Hudson (London). As an artist\, his most recent solo exhibition\, entitled “Visual Essays: Elemental Singularities” was at the Brian Marki Fine Art Gallery in Palm Springs\, California.
