event info
Join us for the opening reception for the Animate Arcade, a new installation and design research project led by Assistant Professor Joseph Altshuler located at the Siebel Center for Design. The event will include a panel discussion and book launch for Creatures Are Stirring: A Guide to Architectural Companionship, featuring co-authors Altshuler and Julia Sedlock, moderated by Professor Tudy Watt, academic director for the Master of Science in Design and Innovation program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Taken together, the installation and the book speculate on new modes of intimacy, empathy, and solidarity among humans and the built environment. Books will be available for sale from the Illini Union Bookstore, and refreshments served.
