Yale School of Architecture: Endowed Professorship \\ I am pleased to announce that I have been appointed the Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professor for the Spring 2021 semester. I will be teaching an advanced graduate design studio focused on housing Indigenous communities. \\ A very special thanks to Dean Deborah Berke for this appointment and recognizing the importance of Indigenous voices in architecture. I would also like to thank Associate Dean Sunil Bald and Assistant Professor Bimal Mendes for their help in this process. #architecture #design #yalearchitecture #cornelius #indigenousdesign #indigenousarchitecture #design #studio #yale #archdaily #visualarts https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ9h5P6sC36/?igshid=zx72cgmb502t

“Like her father [architect Robert Schmertz], Mildred chose to study architecture at Carnegie Mellon, and after getting her B.Arch. in 1947, she worked for an architect, John Schurko, in Pittsburgh. Eight years later, she decided to explore graphic design and entered Yale University, where she earned an M.F.A. in 1957. Schmertz’s graduate thesis proposed a graphic redesign of RECORD: soon after receiving her degree, she joined the art department of the magazine, based in New York. Given her interests and abilities, she soon moved to the editorial staff, reporting and writing a vast number of articles for RECORD...
Schmertz was architectural RECORD's first female editor in chief—from 1985 to 1990—and the first woman to hold that title at any American professional architectural magazine.” (2018 Obituary)
What if we stopped dividing the US and Mexico, and instead saw the border as one region? Read an in-depth review of 'Two Sides of the Border: Reimagining the Region' from @larsmullerpublishers & @yalearchitecture on Daily Dose of Architecture Books via linkinbio. "…Like so many publications these days, 'Two Sides of the Border' documents an ambitious project that consists of way too much textual and visual information to feature in its entirety. Edited by @tabilbaoestudio with @nilegreenberg and Ayesha S. Ghosh, and published by the dependable Lars Müller, the book balances the project's many voices in a format that alternates sections of essays and photographs across its bulk, followed by the maps and student projects. With glossy paper for @iwanbaan photos and matte paper for the essays, the book has an obvious visual and tactile rhythm, one that invites it to be read in any number of ways. The main organizing principle is longitude, with the places visited in words and photos moving from east to west across most of the book's nearly 500 pages. Not surprisingly, a lot of content is found between 100 and 117 degrees west longitude — from Texas to Tijuana — but it also focuses on Ohio, the Yucatán, and other places at a great distance from the border; this is indicative of an approach that defines "region" in much broader terms than those typically discussed. Every part of the project — words, photos, maps, studio projects — serves to redefine people's attitudes toward "border" and "region." Yes, there are photos of the border wall (one of the mockups of the former US President's border wall prototypes opens the book), but readers also see neighborhoods near Mexico City, households in Kansas, and views of other places that illustrate how the lives of so many families bridge both countries…" Read more via linkinbio. #twosidesoftheborder https://www.instagram.com/p/CN-c557Jyer/?igshid=1542i3o9gdvce
