Our school has invited Jae Shin to deliver a lecture on community design as a part of the BK21 HY-GRIP seminar. Her lecture “Designing as Making Sense Together” will take place online on Wednesday, July 19, 2023 (10:00-12:00).

이 강의는 BK21 HY-GRIP Super Seminar의 일환으로 커뮤니티 디자인에 대한 강의를 위해 Jae Shin님을 초빙하였습니다. ‘Designing as Making Sense Together’ 강의가 2023년 7월 19일 10시에 온라인으로 진행될 예정입니다.

Jae holds degrees in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and architecture from Princeton University. Serving as an Enterprise Rose Architectural Fellow at the New York City Housing Authority, she facilitated efforts to define and implement design principles for preserving and rehabilitating New York City’s public housing. She is lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design and founding partner in HECTOR urban design.

HECTOR practices urban design, planning, and civic arts. Informed by traditions of visionary architecture, popular education, and community organising, they work on landscapes, buildings, development plans, and regulations with complex constituencies and competing priorities. HECTOR’s recent projects include a South Philly neighbourhood park, a youth-centric development plan for a district of 37,000 people on Detroit’s west side, and a memorial for ecofeminist Sister Carol Johnston. The MacArthur Foundation describes HECTOR’s designs as “vivid and witty strategies to help residents exercise power within the public and private processes that shape our cities.”
