Abstract
Please join AAP alumni, students, colleagues, faculty, and contributors as we launch the thirteenth Cornell Journal of Architecture (CJoA). This issue explores the theme “Missing.”
When something disappears, a lingering sense of its presence stays behind. Motives and means of disappearance remain to tease or haunt. Occasionally, traces are left, tangibly re-presenting the intangible un-present, at least for those who look. Missingness, though innately intangible, implies a visceral experience of the recognition or loss of what is not present.
This issue reflects the present nature of what is forgotten — what is found is no longer missing. This collection of essays, interviews, and visual work spanning nearly five years attempts to remember what is missing, to serve as a reminder of the no-longer, the superstitious, and the possibility of recurrence.
The launch will feature a book talk, an exhibition of the Cornell Journal of Architecture, with a reception and book sale to follow. Limited copies available for purchase at the launch. The issue will be available to order at the event. Refreshments will be served.
Biographies
Our appreciation to the late Mrs. Ruth Thomas, whose support in honor of her son, Preston H. Thomas, and whose belief in the importance of the speaking, writing, and publishing of architecture, continues to provide the funding and inspiration to make these issues of the Cornell Journal of Architecture possible.
