(Artist: Jorge Otero-Pailos), Otero-Pailos-Rearguard Modernism |
|
|
| Project Description: |
I am requesting funding to publish my book, which requires paying for image copyrights, paying an editor, and paying an assistant to manage the production process. My book is an intellectual history of the American architectural rearguard, a poorly understood group which has perpetuated key myths of modernist architectural practice into our postmodern present. The rearguard's success was due in large measure to its popularization of phenomenological philosophy within architectural discourse, as a means to mask the unresolved contradictions of the modern project. I critique this architectural reception of phenomenology in order to further the difficult and ongoing transition from modernism to postmodernism in architecture. |

| Project Description: |
From the mid nineteeth century to the early twentieth century, hundreds of insane asylums were built in the United states to house the mentally ill. Recent changes in the mental health care system have rendered these institutions obsolete. The purpose of this project is to document this vanishing typology and eventually publish a book on asylum architecture, focusing on several landmark hospitals in New York State that are in ruins and in danger of demolition. |

| Project Description: |
This project is a feasibility study and master plan for Sebago Canoe Club, a recreational paddling club, located on Paerdegat Basin in Canarsie, Brookklyn, off of Jamaica Bay (part of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and Gateway National Recreation Area). We are interested in the potential for architecture and landscape design to reinforce Sebago's indentity in the city as a gateway to Jamaica Bay, providing city residents access to an ecosystem made up of wetlands and bird sanctuaries. This project looks to explore the possibilities of incorporating 'design' into an underdeveloped city amenity that has little available in terms of resources and funding, thereby increasing awareness of an accessibility to the site and ultimately to the larger natural environment. |
