2023 Annual Swanson Lecture: Mel Dodd
Join us on Monday, April 10 for the 2023 Annual Swanson Lecture. This year’s lecture will be presented by Mel Dodd. The lecture will be held in deSalle Auditorium at Cranbrook Art Museum and is free and open to the public.
Drawing on practice, research, and teaching, and expanding on her recent publication ‘Spatial Practices: Modes of Actions and Engagement with the City’ (Routledge 2019), Mel will explore the relationship between social and spatial infrastructures – tracing projects and approaches that range from performance to policy-making, from architecture to urban design.
Mel Dodd leads Architecture at Monash University, Melbourne, and has been practicing and teaching architecture for over 30 years including at Cambridge University, & Royal College of Art. She was Programme Director at RMIT University, Melbourne 2007-2012 and then at Central Saint Martins until 2020, where she established the Spatial Practices Programme. Her practice is concerned with the relationship between social and spatial infrastructures, delivered through collaborative and socially-engaged practice; innovations in live projects and pedagogy, and via advocacy for expanded forms of architectural education and knowledge exchange. She is the author of ‘Spatial Practices: Modes of Action and Engagement with the City’ (Routledge 2019), and joint author of ‘This is What We Do: A Muf Manual’ (Ellipsis 2002). Professor Dodd received her Master of Architecture from the University of Cambridge and her Ph.D. from RMIT University.
The annual Swanson lecture is sponsored by the J. Robert F. Swanson Fund.
