In addition to taking in the extremely interesting work that they&#8217;re doing here, I&#8217;ll be teaching a pair of classes &#8212; a design studio on the Houston Ship Channel and a theory seminar entitled &#8220;Gantry Cranes, Kudzu Fields, and Rolling Blackouts&#8221;, both of which I&#8217;ll talk about at a bit more length in the near future &#8212; and, to get the semester started, organizing the School&#8217;s &#8220;Design Week&#8221;, a three-day design exercise open to the majority of the School&#8217;s students.<\/p>\n<p>For that, I&#8217;m similarly excited that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/masoncwhite\">Mason White<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/lateraloffice.com\/\">Lateral Office<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daniels.utoronto.ca\/people\/faculty\/bios\/mason_white\">Toronto<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/infranetlab.org\/blog\/\">Infranet Lab<\/a>) has agreed to help me lead Design Week.

I will say that this means that Mason will be giving a talk at the School next Wednesday, the 16th, at 5:00 pm, the advertisement for which is below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/m.ammoth.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/MWHITE_SPACE-OF-LOGISTICS_POSTER2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6694\" title=\"MWHITE_SPACE OF LOGISTICS_POSTER\" src=\"http:\/\/m.ammoth.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/MWHITE_SPACE-OF-LOGISTICS_POSTER2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"607\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More soon&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I should say something about what I&#8217;m doing this spring, though this is kind of the brief version.
