He examines thought not as something “pure” and autonomous but as emerging from working with material\, and he identifies this as the source of imagination and creative insight. This takes place as much in such disciplines as cognitive science\, anthropology\, and poetry as it does in the more obvious painting\, sculpture\, and design. In some fields\, the medium of work is\, in fact\, the very medium of thinking—as fabric is for the tailor. \nMore info and tickets available here. \nBrought to you by Material Encounters\, in partnership with PLP So Cal.

Their intimate knowledge of Boston\, where the sisters were born and raised\, allows the close practice to be both deeply engaged and work critically with local issues of housing\, public space\, history and identity. French 2D works on housing and mixed-use projects with a focus on strange housing types that combine familiar ideas of home with radical organizations and typologies\, found in their cohousing and micro-housing projects. The practice also works on civic installations and exhibitions that call upon the domestic to bring people together for familiar rituals in unfamiliar spaces\, found in serial dinner-parties\, fuzzy bartering environments\, and out-scaled dresses. \nJenny and Anda’s interest in hybrid models that exist between practice and academia has been the catalyst for their practice-based research and advocacy. Jenny is an Assistant Professor in Practice at the Harvard GSD and Anda serves on the Board of Directors for the Boston Society of Architects\, where the pair organized the recent Now Practice Now series\, exploring emerging modes of practice. \nFrench 2D was named as an Architectural Record Magazine Design Vanguard winner in 2019. The firm has been featured in Domus\, Metropolis\, The Architect’s Newspaper\, and as Architect Magazine’s Next Progressives. French 2D was a 2013 MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program finalist and exhibited at the US Pavilion of the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale. \ncalpolylametro.com \nPhoto: Anda French and Jenny French / Photograph by Steph Larsen \n  URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/french2d/ CATEGORIES:News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/F2DBW_Crop1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200325T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200325T210000 DTSTAMP:20260428T174713 CREATED:20200205T190751Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200311T235546Z UID:10000375-1585162800-1585170000@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Textile Arts Hosts a Conversation + Book Signing\, Material and Mind with Christopher Bardt DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO AN UNDETERMINED FUTURE DATE.\nOn Wednesday\, March 25th from 7:30 to 9:00 pm (Doors at 7:00 pm)\, please join us in welcoming Textile Arts Los Angeles and Christopher Bardt\, AIA for practiceLAB\, a conversation and in-depth exploration of the interaction between mind and material world\, mediated by language\, image\, and making—in design\, the arts\, culture\, and science. \nIn Material and Mind\, Christopher Bardt delves deeply into the interaction of mind and material world\, mediated by language\, image\, and the process of making. He examines thought not as something “pure” and autonomous but as emerging from working with material\, and he identifies this as the source of imagination and creative insight. This takes place as much in such disciplines as cognitive science\, anthropology\, and poetry as it does in the more obvious painting\, sculpture\, and design. In some fields\, the medium of work is\, in fact\, the very medium of thinking—as fabric is for the tailor. \nDrawing on the philosophical notions of the “extended mind” and the “enactive mind\,” and looking beyond the world of material-based arts\, Bardt investigates the realms in which material and mind interweave through metaphor\, representation\, projection\, analogues\, tools\, and models. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nChristopher Bardt has over 25 years of experience as an architect and professor of architecture at RISD. He is a founding principal of 3sixØ Architecture\, which Architectural Record named one of 10 leading vanguard firms worldwide in 2002. His extensive professional experience includes furniture design\, residential\, commercial and institutional commissions and planning studies\, ranging from small urban interventions to large-scale metropolitan development. Bardt has been a member of the Architecture faculty at RISD since 1988. He has been a visiting professor at Cornell University\, the National Academy of Design and Art\, Slovakia and the China Academy of Art and has served on the Board of Governors of the RISD Museum.
