We hear from artist Young Joon Kwak, whose work focuses on queer bodies, how they have been represented in art history, and how they form communities. Then, speculative architect and SCI-Arc faculty member Jennifer Chen talks about world-building and how design can flesh fictions into alternative realities. Finally, Dr. Sunita Puri speaks on dying, the unknowability of the universe, and the different ways of being embodied within it.

This episode asks what neon tubes and transportation routes might bring in terms of fresh life to the drawing space of contemporary architecture. It also considers the new scales of materialities emerging architects are bringing to bear. When does a line become a lining, when can a pipe seem graphic? What does it mean to build worlds out of gas and glass or to reimagine traffic as a line of flight? Or when does it make sense to leave lines behind, in the immense and growing pile of architectural techniques and conventions we are comfortable discarding, at least for a time.
‘Lines’ discusses with SCI-Arc History+Theory Coordinator Marrikka Trotter, SCI-Arc design faculty Kristy Balliet, artist Lisa Schulte, and LA Metro’s Dr. Joshua Schank what neon tubes and transportation routes might bring in terms of fresh life to the space of contemporary architecture. It also considers the new scales and materialities emerging architects are now employing in the field.
