Between the 1850s and 1930s, before playhouses for children reached the mainstream, they were often fully functional cottages designed by well-known architects for British royalty, American industrialists, and Hollywood stars. Recognizing the playhouse in this era as a stage for the purposeful performance of upper-class identity, Abigail A. Van Slyck illuminates their role as carefully planned architectural manifestations of adult concerns, from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's Swiss Cottage (1853) to the children's cottage on the grounds of Cornelius Vanderbilt's Newport mansion (1886) to the glass-block playhouse given to Shirley Temple in 1936, and many more in between. Here, Van Slyck is joined in conversation with Annmarie Adams, Marta Gutman, and Kate Solomonson.Abigail A. Van Slyck is the Dayton Professor Emeritus of Art History at Connecticut College and author of Playhouses and Privilege: The Architecture of Elite Childhood; A Manufactured Wilderness: Summer Camps and the Shaping of American Youth, 1890-1960; and Free to All: Carnegie Libraries and American Culture, 1890-1920.Annmarie Adams is an architectural historian at McGill University in Montreal. Adams is author of Medicine by Design: The Architect and the Modern Hospital, 1893-1943; Architecture in the Family Way: Doctors, Houses, and Women, 1870-1900; and coauthor of Designing Women: Gender and the Architectural Profession.Marta Gutman is dean and professor in the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at the City College of New York.

Cassim Shepard is distinguished lecturer in architecture and urban studies at City College, City University of New York. Trained as an urban planner, geographer, and documentary filmmaker, Cassim produces nonfiction media about cities and places, with a particular emphasis on housing and civic life. His film and video work about cities around the world has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Museum of the City of New York, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, the United Nations, Pavillon de l'Arsenale in Paris, and the African Centre for Cities in Cape Town. His current exhibition, Mass Support, running at CCNY's Spitzer School of Architecture through May 7, with a symposium scheduled for April 26, explores the legacy and contemporary relevant of Stichting Architecten Research (SAR). SAR was an architectural think tank active in the Netherlands between 1964 and 1990, which proposed a radical new way of thinking about mass housing. The essential gambit was to fuse industrial production with mass customization, a concept that has strong implications for today's urban issues.

Architect and historian Marta Gutman became dean of the Spitzer School of Architecture at The City College of New York last May. She is also a professor of Art History and Earth and Environmental Sciences at the CUNY Graduate Center. In her research, she examines ordinary buildings and neighborhoods; the history of cities; and issues of gender, class, race, and especially childhood as they play out in everyday spaces, public culture, and social life. Long committed to promoting social justice, she began her architecture career designing public housing for the New York City Housing Authority and shelters for battered women, abused children, and unhoused New Yorkers for nonprofit organizations. She talks to The Thought Project about her research and advocacy and what advice she'd give New York City Mayor Eric Adams on addressing the city's homeless issue. Listen in to hear her ideas on building a better future.

Primaverarch is an organization dedicated to stimulating change for the recognition of women in the architectural profession. Inspired by the renaissance era and the symbolic idea of spring, Primaverarch is a movement of rebirth, revival, and renewal. Primaverarch was created by Nadeen Hassan, Chaerin Kim, and Soany Marquez, three minority-women who recently graduated from the Spitzer School of Architecture at the City College of New York. Throughout their studies, they experienced a lack of professional support, mentorship, and recognition, and so decided to start Primavera. Primaverarch is a catalyst movement that is dedicated to creating a seat at the table for all women in the field. Learn more about Primaverarch at: https://www.primaverarch.org/ In this episode we talk about: Why Nadeen, Chaerin, and Soany started Primaverarch On giving their interviewees a space to feel empowered, and feel like they have a voice Primaverarch’s goal of showcasing diverse voices, and that white women do not represent all women. How amplifying black voices should not just be a trend, but is something you’re supposed to be doing constantly. The long term goals for Primaverarch, and creating not just a platform but a space for opportunities and a support system for emerging professionals Expanding nationally and internationally, collaborating with NOMA and AIA On infiltrating national organizations like AIA to push for change Creating a space for people to ask regular questions, and fighting against the perception that architects are snobby Being conditioned in architecture school to just accept the status quo, and the need to push back and question who is being taught or amplified The lack of statistics on Middle Eastern or Arab architects is problematic How Nadeen, Chaerin, and Soany provide a support system for each other, have each others backs, and push each other forward   LISTEN to other episodes at www.designvoicepodcast.com FOLLOW the show on Instagram @designvoicepodcast EMAIL us at hello@designvoicepodcast.com

Primaverarch is a grassroots organization committed to stimulating change for the recognition of women in architecture and related fields. Inspired by the renaissance era and the symbolic idea of spring, Primaverarch is a movement of rebirth, revival, and renewal. Primaverarch is created by four minority-women who recently graduated from the Spitzer School of Architecture at the City College of New York. Throughout their studies, they experienced a lack of professional support, mentorship, and recognition. Without anyone to share similar values in regards to their diverse backgrounds, Primaverarch becomes a catalyst movement dedicated to creating a seat at the table for all women in the field. Blooming into future architects, the team is leading the next movement. With everything they do – from a set of interviews, creative series, mentorships, and interactive workshops, they are focused on one goal: How can they support the future generation of architects? Social Media and Website: Instagram: instagram.com/primaverarch LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/primaverarch Website: primaverarch.org Nadeen Hassan Nadeen Hassan is an architectural designer and activist who is committed to making a space for herself and others in the architectural profession. As a first-generation Egyptian-American, Nadeen recognized the unrelenting atmosphere in many parts of the world. She believes that an architect is a problem-solver that attends to the need of not one, but every group of people. Throughout her studies, Nadeen tackles subjects of inclusivity, activism, and social change within her design projects and research. Not having support at the beginning of Nadeen's academic journey motivated her to become that network of support for the next generation. Chaerin Kim Chaerin (she/her) is a recent B.Arch graduate and Senior Editor of Primaverarch based in New York. Passionate about the built environment, she is adamant in creating spaces that are inclusive and reflective of the cultures we design for. During her studies at Spitzer School of Architecture, Chaerin engaged in courses focusing on social justice, activism in NYC, and key housing and urban issues in Latin American cities. Soany Marquez Soany is a designer, artist, and activist who is interested in architecture as a form of activism and artistic expression. Born in Honduras, she is constantly pushing boundaries in her education focusing on diversity and inclusivity for women. She is aware that architecture can be a powerful tool to pave the way for social reform. As a first-generation architecture graduate, she is dedicated to changing the narrative around minority women in design and construction. Martha Zambrano Martha was born and raised in NYC by Venezuelan immigrant parents. She obtained her associate's degree in business administration in 2014 and later her bachelor's degree in architecture in 2020. Both fields have opened her eyes to how unrepresented young women are in predominantly male careers. Teaming up with her classmates and longtime friends, she wants young women in the architecture field to have a platform for support, and encouragement. She hopes young women use this platform to its fullest advantage.

Ghiora Aharoni is an artist and designer whose work is centrally premised on humankind’s interconnected existence, as well as a nonlinear concept of time. Descriptively, his work is at the “intersection of art, design and architecture.”  Experientially, his work is the soul’s conscious expansiveness across time. Aharoni’s own faith is foundational to his creativity, but his explorations and creations are not limited to any one religious belief, culture or medium.  Instead, his artwork frequently expresses an interest in exploring dualities, such as the intersection of religion and science, and the intertwined relationships of seemingly disparate cultures. Much of his work involves text, traditional objects or symbols—such as cultural artifacts or sacred texts—that have been recontextualized and imbued with meaning that asks the viewer to question or reconsider their conventional social/cultural significance.   An Israeli-born descendent of Yemeni Jews, Aharoni grew up near Tel Aviv, and his grandfather introduced him to the central texts of Jewish mysticism at an early age. At 21, he left Israel to study at the City University of New York where he graduated summa cum laude from the Spitzer School of Architecture, and later went on to receive a Master of Architecture from Yale University. In 2004, he opened Ghiora Aharoni Design Studio  to “engage with all the disciplines” he adores. The studio’s work encompasses interior design, art, product design and museum exhibitions. The design principles that govern his studio are “guided by the tenets of gesamtkunstwerk—engaging multiple disciplines to create a total work of art.” Every year, Aharoni, takes a month-long sabbatical. He always travels with an amulet in his bag that belonged to his great-grandmother, and usually goes to India, where spiritual practices co-exist with architecture in a similar juxtaposition as his art and design. In India, he says the ancient resides within the urban center and one can time travel by walking a few hundred yards. "In much of Aharoni’s work," it has been said, "the unification of multiple narratives offers an exquisite commentary on the potential of human life in a celestial universe – whether it be Indian and Jewish, divinity and humanity, or the natural and industrial materials integrated in his design work in the form of walnut and steel. To paraphrase Aharoni, ultimately there is an expansive vitality, which springs from intercultural co-existence, and an unending dynamic process that resonates in both divine and mortal existence." Aharoni’s work is in the permanent collection of the Pompidou Center in Paris, The Vatican Library in Rome, The Beit Hatfutsot Museum in Tel Aviv, The Kiran Nadar Museum in New Delhi and the Morgan Library & Museum in New York—as well as numerous private collections in North America, Europe, Israel and India. In February of this year, Aharoni was the Artist-in-Residence at the India Art Fair in Delhi, and his sculptures were on view at the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam from March through August 2019 in the exhibition Kabbalah: The Art of Jewish Mysticism. In February 2019 he was invited to present a solo artist project at the India Art Fair in New Delhi that explored cultural interconnectivity via sculptures and works on paper, some of which included Hindru© (a phrase-based melding of Hindi and Urdu he created in 2016). In 2018, his work was exhibited at the Jewish Museum in Vienna, Austria. From November 2017 through October 2018, Aharoni’s solo exhibition, The Road to Sanchi, was on view at the Rubin Museum in New York. Aharoni traveled to four different pilgrimage sites (Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi, and Jewish) throughout India to create the art for The Road to Sanchi, which invite viewers “to question our relationship to time and imagine a world where past, present, and future can exist simultaneously.” The sacred sites are never seen so the work becomes a pilgrimage for the viewer, an expression of India’s history of cultural plurality, a co-mingling of sacred and secular, and a focus on the act and action of pilgrimage for the benefit of one’s future self. In 2017, his work was selected for the Jerusalem Biennale. Aharoni also added two works to his eight-part series Menorah Project, the Antiochus Scroll Menorah and Paradesi Menorah. The work represents the core values of respect and advocacy, intercultural understanding and the “narrative of victory over oppression” which Aharoni characterizes as “our obligation to defend cultural freedom and to engender light in a time of darkness,” as well as, “the responsibility of the individual in the role of social vigilance.” In 2016 in conjunction with the Biennale, two of his sculptures were exhibited in Divided Waters, a group exhibition of international contemporary art at the Palazzo Fontana in Venice, Italy, commemorating the 500th anniversary of the founding of the Jewish Ghetto in Venice. In the spring of 2016, Aharoni was commissioned to create a public art installation—a series of stainless steel sculptures of Hebrabic/Arabrew© (a combination of Hebrew and Arabic that he conceived in 1999 while at Yale)—at the New York Live Arts Performance Center in Chelsea. In May of 2012, he was commissioned to create a large-scale art installation at the 14thStreet Y in Manhattan of Hebrabic/Arabrew© entitled, The Divine Domesticated. Four panels from the installation were permanently installed that fall in the theater lobby of the Y. Missives, Aharoni’s first solo exhibition in India, opened the Fall 2013 season at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Mumbai, India. Inspired by the discovery of a trove of his mother’s love letters written as an adolescent in Israel, the artworks and installations included collages with reproductions of his mother’s letters and his drawings, installations of vintage photographs with the letters, and antique Phulkaris embroidered with snippets of her letters. The exhibition reflects the confluence/fluidity of time, universal notions of desire and collective memory, as well as his love for India.  Aharoni’s designs and commissioned pieces are also in numerous private collections. Since establishing his studio, Aharoni has designed many residential and commercial projects in New York—ranging from the DeKooning residence and a duplex penthouse in a landmark building in the West Village to a storefront studio/performance space in Williamsburg and the offices of an art law firm on 57th Street. Aharoni’s work has been published internationally in books—most recently in The Word is Art from Thames & Hudson—as well as newspapers, journals and magazines including The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, Elle Decor U.K., L’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui, Architectural Digest Spain, Art India, IDEAT, Elle Decor Italia and New York Magazine. His essay proposing the displacement of Jerusalem’s monuments was included in the book “The Next Jerusalem.” Prior to opening his own studio, Aharoni worked at several distinguished architectural firms including Polshek Partnership [now known as Ennead Architects] and Studio Daniel Libeskind. While at Polshek Partnership, he worked on the design for Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall; the space planning and design of The American Museum of Natural History’s subterranean entrance and public spaces; as well as the space planning of The New York Botanical Garden’s Museum Building. His design work for Studio Daniel Libeskind included the competition submission for The Ground Zero World Trade Center Design Study, and the façade design for Hyundai Development Company, Seoul, Korea. In addition, Aharoni was on the winning design competition team with Zaha Hadid and Arata Isozaki for the building and urban planning of Milan, Italy’s Fiera Convention Center. Of his designs and art, one sculpture that is particularly stirring, timeless and relevant today is “Parting Waters”— a sculpture that Aharoni completed a few years ago just before Passover. It was inspired by the biblical story of Exodus and the current-day Syrian and African refugees. Descriptively, “Parting Waters” is composed of wooden crates containing slender-necked beakers used to test if milk was diluted with water in the mid-20th century. Had the beakers been filled with diluted milk, the water would have risen into the necks, forming columns of water—an allegory of Moses’ parting of the Red Sea, representing both the Israelites’ and contemporary refugees’ journey, “the universal human desire for freedom and the leap into the unknown.” Experientially, Parting Waters transports the viewer’s soul into that compassionate space bridging past, present and future where faith is foundational to creation. His work will be exhibited later this year in the Asia Society Triennial in New York.   Join us in conversation with this gifted creator of sacred containers and spaces for the divine!
