Nahant, MA 01908

The area off the North Shore contains hundreds of shipwrecks, some of which are historically important. Federal and state laws require project proponents to undertake archaeological assessments to identify potential impacts on cultural resources, including shipwrecks. Thirteen previously unrecorded shipwrecks were discovered along the proposed route during studies related to the Northeast Gateway/Excelerate Energy Project. While the route was modified to avoid these shipwreck, the proponent underwater subsequent investigations using remotely operated vehicles of these shipwrecks. This lecture will describe these investigations and their findings.

Fenway Center
Wednesday, February 10, 2010, 12 – 1pm

Panos Panay, founder of Sonicbids, will speak. Sonicbids bills itself as an "online matchmaker" between bands and promoters. The site has a database of thousands of members, both bands and promoters, and provides an electronic way for musicians to send their music to promoters and pitch for a gig, without having to spend lots of money on postage. Promoters can "shop" the site for musicians they like when they're hunting for new artists. The site also maintains a list of available gigs, so bands can see who is looking for artists and throw their hat into the ring when something appealing comes up.

In 2008 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Huddersfield for his achievements in electroacoustic music.

Opening Reception: The Hapa Project

16 Feb 2010 23:00:00 GMT

Gallery 360
Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 6 – 7pm

Once a derogatory label derived from the Hawai’ian word for “half,” hapa has now been embraced as a term of pride by individuals of partial Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry. Artist Kip Fulbeck began The Hapa Project in 2001, photographing over 1200 volunteer subjects and giving them the opportunity to self-designate their ethnic heritage and individually handwrite their response to the question, “What are you?” The result is an amazing array of diversity, humor, pain and eye-opening honesty ... a vivid portrait of 21st-century America.

Join us for a reception celebrating the opening of this exhibit, as well as the beginning of Asian American Heritage Week.

Meet the Author: Aisling Shen

23 Feb 2010 23:00:00 GMT

405 Ell Hall
Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 6 – 7pm

Born in China’s Yangtze River Delta into a community of impoverished rice farmers, Shen was the first person from her village to attend college. Deeply dissatisfied with her government-issued teaching job, she left for the special economic zones of southern China in search of happiness and success in the business world. In 2000 Shen immigrated to the U.S. and graduated magna cum laude from Wellesley College in 2005. She currently works as an equity research associate in an investment management firm in Boston. In her unflinching memoir, Shen’s personal story also reflects the early days of China’s economic boom and illustrates the massive economic and social changes that have taken place in the country over the past several decades.

“A brave and honest tale of one woman's struggle to overcome her circumstances and triumph against all odds.”--Alison Weaver, author of Gone to the Crazies: a Memoir

“Like a suspense novel, this book is impossible to put down. All readers interested in China, as well as memoir fans (especially of success stories), must read this astonishing title.”—Susan G. Baird, Library Journal

Defining Urban Design

08 Mar 2010 23:00:00 GMT

20 West Village F
Monday, March 8, 2010, 6 – 7:30pm

Eric Mumford, Defining Urban Design: CIAM Architects and the formation of a discipline, 1937-69 CIAM, the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, is today usually associated with the urbanism of Le Corbusier and the international spread of modern architecture in the mid-twentieth century. This lecture examines a less well known aspect of its legacy, the creation of the discipline of urban design in postwar American settings. Urban Design grew both out of the synthesis of architecture, landscape architecture, and planning at the Harvard Graduate School of Design after 1936 and from the efforts of Josep Lluís Sert and others to revise CIAM urbanism to make it more oriented toward pedestrian interactions, political engagement, and urban cultural continuity. Although controversial by the late 1960s, these efforts extended earlier modernist directions in architecture and the visual arts in ways that continue to influence thinking about urban design today.

Insights - The Madness of March: Bonding and Betting with the Boys in Las Vegas

10 Mar 2010 23:00:00 GMT

Alumni Center
716 Columbus Avenue, 6th floor
Boston, MA
Wednesday, March 10, 2010, 6 – 8pm

Alan Zaremba, Associate Professor, Department of Communication Studies, College of Arts and Sciences; Academic Coordinator, Corporate and Organizational Communication, College of Professional Studies

Las Vegas revels in its reputation as a haven for glitz, glamour, and excess. But Las Vegas is also a magnet for sports enthusiasts, particularly during huge sporting events like the Super Bowl and the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament. Professor Alan Zaremba’s book, The Madness of March: Bonding and Betting with the Boys in Las Vegas, describes the distinctive and intriguing subculture of idiosyncratic sports fanatics who descend on Las Vegas annually for March Madness. Zaremba raises the question of whether this annual rite is a blessing or a curse.

Gary Haney increasingly employs an algorithmic approach to building design in which rule-based frameworks serve as the basis for exploring form in relation to its associated performance. His process incorporates extensive materials research, environmental simulations, and computational scripting to test and challenge the physical, structural, and programmatic parameters of a given project. This research-intensive, performance-driven approach has enabled him to design buildings of great scale and complexity including most recently the Al Rajhi Bank Headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; the Al Hamra Tower in Kuwait City; and the Al Sharq Tower in Dubai, which was recently honored with a Progressive Architecture award. He is currently designing the 400,000 sm Qatar Petroleum Headquarters complex in Doha, Qatar, and a state-of-the-art public safety answering center in New York City. Mr. Haney also designed the LEED®-certified U.S. Census Bureau Headquarters in Suitland, Maryland, which was recently awarded the merit award for architecture by the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
