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 implies a visceral experience of the recognition or loss of what is not present.
This issue seeks to reflect the present nature of what is forgotten. 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—from disappearances, to denials, to erasures—and the possibility of recurrence.
The launch will open at 5:30 p.m. with a panel including student editors Lydia Brawley-Magee and Kalven Owen, Architecture faculty Emma Silverblatt and Val Warke, and internal and external contributors.
A celebratory reception and book sale organized by the editors will follow. Limited copies will be available for purchase. The issue is also available for pre-order online. 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.
