Establishing an ethics of spatial justice to lead architecture forward\, Dana Cuff shows why the discipline requires critical examination—in relation to not only buildings and the capital required to realize them but privilege\, power\, aesthetics\, and sociality. That is\, it requires a reevaluation of architecture’s fundamental tenets. \nOrganized around projects and topics\, Architectures of Spatial Justice is a compelling blend of theory\, history\, and applied practice that focuses on two foundational conditions of architecture: its relation to the public and its dependence on capital. The book draws on studies of architectural projects from around the world\, with instructive case studies from Chile\, Mexico\, Japan\, and the United States that focus in particular on urban centers\, where architecture is most directly engaged with social justice issues. \nEmerging from more than two decades of the author’s own project-based research\, Architectures of Spatial Justice examines ethically driven practices that break with professional conventions to correct long-standing inequities in the built environment\, uncovering architecture’s limits—and its potential. \nLearn more about the book via AUD News.

It’s fun! It’s easy! It’s dirty! The time it takes will depend a bit on the number of hands contributing\, temperatures and precipitation. Here is what we expect: \nSaturday\, June 03: We may add more cobb mid-layer as needed. If the structure is ready\, we’ll mix a lime/cement finish plaster\, and trowel it on over the cob. \nSunday\, June 04: We’ll mix a lime/cement finish plaster\, and trowel it on over the cob. We’ll set some decorative tiles on the sides at this time. \nIf work in the blooms is what calls you\, we’ll also continue weeding and seeding. We’ll provide light refreshments\, some work gloves and tools\, and great joy for your contributions to our space and work. \nWhat to Bring \nWe need nothing beyond your hands and your hearts. If you are so inspired\, we invite offerings of peace and light that can be integrated into the fire circle seating to honor the Watts community and support survivors’ healing. In keeping with the aesthetic and inspiration of our iconic Watts Towers\, we would be particularly happy to give a permanent home to rocks\, seashells\, crystals\, ceramic\, or metal that is beyond its first use. \nWhat to Wear \nPlease consider wearing a sun hat\, sunscreen\, and work gloves along with shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Water bottles are recommended! Your weeding and planting tools are also welcome. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/the-fire-circle-volunteer-day-in-the-survivors-healing-garden-at-the-reverence-project/ LOCATION:The Reverence Project\, 1673 East 108th Street\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90059\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/fire-circle.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230605T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230605T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T145421 CREATED:20230524T173548Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230524T173548Z UID:18380-1685957400-1685962800@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Livestream - Critical Minerals in Latin America: a Bridge or a Bottleneck for the Energy Transition?

Achieving and requiring such a rapid transition to an electric transportation sector raises a number of questions\, such as: \n\nWhat will happen to the used gasoline vehicle market\, new vehicle sales (both electric and gasoline)\, and vehicle imports?\nHow can we ensure that this transition will be equitable?\nWhat is the optimal pathway for charging station investments?\nHow will this expansion of new ZEV sales affect the electricity sector\, and what rules and regulations within the electric sector can help support this transition?\n\nThere are multiple avenues to explore and lots of new research that can be done in this space to help the states effectively\, efficiently\, and equitably achieve their ZEV goals. To that end\, we will host a two-half day virtual workshop with leading researchers and policymakers in the ZEV space to examine the state of research on zero-emission transportation\, identify new researchable questions\, and explore the data still needed to answer these questions. Following the workshop\, we will create a written communication summarizing the findings from the workshop and laying out a new research agenda related to the ZEV mandate. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/zero-emissions-vehicle-zev-mandates-workshop-research-for-effective-efficient-and-equitable-policy-implementation/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/rff-zev.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230613T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230613T100000 DTSTAMP:20260403T145421 CREATED:20230612T220201Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230612T220201Z UID:18473-1686646800-1686650400@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Climate At Work: Building impactful workplace sustainability communities DESCRIPTION:Join for an extraordinary event bringing together the visionaries behind two of the most influential workplace climate communities in the world—Anthropocene at Google and Microsoft’s monumental 10\,000-member employee sustainability community.
