AAD Arguments: David Gissen

Wed, Jun 24    11:15am

David Gissen will deliver the lecture “Anti-Eugenic City” for AAD Arguments. Isabelle Tan will provide the introduction and be joined by Lydia Kallipoliti and AAD students to provide a response following the presentation and host a Q&A session.

David Gissen is a historian, designer, and theorist of architecture. He studies how physiological and environmental ideas are embedded in modern and late-modern architecture and design. He is the author of four books, including The Architecture of Disability: Buildings, Cities, and Landscapes beyond Access (University of Minnesota Press, 2023) and Subnature: Architecture’s Other Environments (Princeton Architectural Press 2009). Gissen has also published numerous essays for journals, magazines, books, and exhibition catalogs.

His architectural and urban proposals have been exhibited at the Venice Biennial, Victoria and Albert Museum, and The Canadian Centre for Architecture, among other venues. He is the inaugural Class of 1972 Professor of Architecture at the Yale School of Architecture and the Director of the School’s PhD program. He has held additional academic appointments at The New School, Columbia University GSAPP, MIT, The Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, and the California College of the Arts.


Organized by the MS in Advanced Architectural Design program as part of the AAD Arguments Lecture Series.
