A short film was produced by Julia Gamolina and Juan Carlos Artolozaga (M Arch 1, first year) investigating architecture pedagogy in the Cornell Graduate program vis-a-vis various undergraduate experiences.
Noah Ives (M Arch 1, 2nd year) gave a presentation on design methodologies, analyzing Peter Eisenman's City of Culture in Santiago de Compostela.
Armondo Rigau (M Arch 1, 2nd year) elaborated on the relationship between the Master and his student. His talk stood in reference to Hegel's treatise on the Master-Slave dialectic as discussed in Kojeve, Alexandre and Raymond Queneau's Introduction to the Reading of Hegel: Lectures on the Phenomenology of Spirit.
The question of ethics and architectural education was addressed by Aaron Gensler (M Arch 1, 1st year).
