you will not find many buildings here would you rather be a cyborg or a goddess?

kaeli alika streeter In these tabs you will find a collection of my time at GSAPP. Buildings are a fragment of the architectural work you will see. In fact, you will find very few buildings. Instead, look for three years of experimentation by a student and teacher trying their best during a global pandemic, thoughts on pedagogy and student governance, very physical objects and very digital objects. You will find a mountain, a subway that is actually an ocean, cyborgs and goddesses, rat territories, a suburb, mushrooms, pipes, anti-anxiety tools, bluescapes, queerness, kombucha leather, haikus, cautionary tales, global collaboration, cedar benches. In this space, the digital re-interprets and mis-represents the analog and vice versa. I tend to mix metaphors. “Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. (I am large, I contain multitudes.)”

folding logics ADRI with Lexi Tsien; Fall 2019; Rhino, VRay, Illustrator, 3Ds Max, After Effects; a study of Esplanada Studio by Tatiana Bilbao; <I use folding techniques to analyze the construction process and materiality of the gallery/ studio space. Tatiana Bilbao states that the geometries are only possible given the concrete panels and close contact and collaboration with the construction workers. For this reason, the drawings unfold the exterior surfaces of the building. On a whole, the drawings are an attempt to understand the construction and re-imagined construction via folding, hinging, and extracting.>

A BRIEF HISTORY

Most/all of the 70s and 80s era subway cars have orange and yellow seats.

That’s literally hundreds of trains. –Davehoboken

INQUIRY

I usually see those cars are along the Sixth Ave. line -- B, D, F –Outoftheinkwell @Davehoboken is right. Those seats are everywhere. But the 4/5/6/L tend to be newer trains with blue seats. The A/C, B/D & F trains use these orange & yellow seat trains most often, but not always. –NYNeenz

2. A Brief History

3. 70’s Sensibilities B, D, F, N, Q, R, W are the only lines where you’ll consistently see orange and yellow seats, with the express B and D being the best bets. Every day at rush hour, I see only orange and yellow seated B and D trains.

F tends to be a mix of older O&Y trains, as well as all newer blue/grey trains.

1, 2, 3 often had O&Y seats, but I’ve not been on those lines in a while.

J, M, Z A, C, E, 4, 5, 6, L, S almost never have O&Y seats. –bomania

THE PEW MODEL Prior to these, the subways had “pew” seating that had a uniform contour along their lengths. The orange and yellow seating was dished in for each place following Japanese examples. Unfortunately, Americans are wider and spill over the edges. Sometimes, you would have a place that had the edge in the middle and you would have to sit on this or stand. This seating was never popular with passengers and the pew type returned with newer models. –Fox11354

CAR CULTURE NY TRANSIT MUSEUM I’ve been to the Transit Museum and highly recommend it! Coming from a car culture, I think the subway is so freeing.

They’re either R46 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R46_(New_York_City_Subway_car) or R68 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R68_(New_York_City_Subway_car) model train cars.

The R46 have some faux wood paneling right by the doors, the R68 do not - but the configuration of seats (with some forward/backward facing seats instead of seats only along the walls is similar. –Kaye_in_Astoria The subway cars with the orange and yellow seats are the R-46 cars from the 1970s.

Rode the Q and N the other day. Orange seats. –LizzieandIzzy

Don’t know what to attribute the color choices to - other than perhaps leftover 70’s/80’s design sensibilities. –Kaye_in_Astoria

Cars on numbered lines are not interchangeable with cars on lettered lines. The lettered line cars are wider and would not fit in the tunnels and stations used by the numbered trains. This is an artifact of the development of the original subway system by two (and then three) separate entities. The track gauge is the same by the car widths are different. So numbered train cars could run on lettered lines, but there would be a large gap between car doors and station platforms.

–AudenHoggart

Some C and A trains also have the yellow and orange seats. Also F. So basically any of the lettered lines could have them. –Shoestring Jester

Thankfully they have no cushioning! Who needs cushioning that would absorb sweat, urine, bedbugs and whatever else gets carried onto or, um, deposited onto the subway seats. At least smooth, hard surfaces are cleaned easier. –Risa L.

New York; springerandy from

“Navigating New York” 2005;

Upholstery would definitely not be a good idea on the NYC subways. (The system runs 24/7/365 and these days we’re just happy when they actually run properly) If you want to see older more well appointed subway trains visit the transit museum in Brooklyn https://www.nytransitmuseum.org/ –Kaye_in_Astoria

***Thankfully they have no cushioning! Who needs cushioning that would absorb sweat, urine, bedbugs and whatever else gets carried onto or, um, deposited onto the subway seats. At least smooth, hard surfaces are cleaned easier.*** Ain’t that the truth. –springerandy

Curation of comments: Kaeli

Admittedly, I could see the benefit of hard seating but it did not make for a comfortable ride. –queenieline Why hard seating? People with knives who used to cut the upholstered seating up for “fun.” Believe it or not, this was common 40-45 years ago.

Same with exact change on buses. There were so many robberies 40-45 years ago that every big US city started with exact change on buses. Now, thankfully there are transit debit cards (all called everything but “debit card”), so all of that has been, as the say, “overtaken by events.”

I do remember seeing the cotton innards of a number of upholstered seat when I was a teenager. In trains made before 1950, they seats were made of woven rattan. They weren’t ever cut up, but they sure were slippery; my best friend as a kid, slid right off when the train hit a sharp curve once. Ah,the good-and-bad old days. –NorthofDC

rat habitat <The rat habitat, in the form of gabion columns, acts as circulation systems for the rats moving from the subway to the new circular habitats above ground.> <Although the rat habitats are left wild, they are situated close to restaurants and grocery stores. Rats will go as far as 100 to 300 feet for food, it is in this search for food where birds will find their prey.>

welcome to suburbia

I. suburbia

CoreIII with Galia Solomonoff; Fall 2020; Rhino, VRay, Illustrator, Photoshop, zoning, collaboration; Welcome to Melrose; <A gated community in the Bronx, consisting of 16 buildings; 12 proposed renovations and additions; 4 proposed new constructions; new shared resilient infrastructures; amenities; and a communal private landscape. An urban suburbia, in this sense, ensures that living conditions and resiliency strategies will contend with the times.>

negotiations

<This gated community proposes that urban suburbity should be redefined. Here, suburbia does not signify poorly constructed, identical, anonymous buildings, and hidden amenities. Rather, this suburbia proposes discrete, individual, personable buildings with history, character, and dignity achieved through strategic, scalar architectural moves that confront issues of health, privacy, and infrastructural responsibility.>

Completed with Charul Punia; <This project was completed in a partnership and process that valued empathy, health, development, and communication.> <The design process was completed almost entirely virtually during a global pandemic. Although our school and site are located in New York City, Charul was in Dubai for a portion of the semester and I was in Miami.> <We negotiated a thorough and resilient design strategy through screens, music, google docs and a meticulously organized google drive and Rhino file.>

1 BIRD DEATH CONE

3 SANDCASTLES

The Bird Death Cone collects dead species victim to the windows of Columbia University.

The 86’ wide funnel rests on the ledge of the Avery and Fayerweather window sills. During Fall and Spring migrations, bird strike is inevitable.

Upon retrieval of the avian specimen, the metal cone responds with a series of clicks and clacks. The matte metal cone acts as a toxic buffer between dead and living species. Using a process of refined reverse corrosion, the death cone blends the remains of strucken birds, sorts reproducible parts and returns new specimens to surrounding Riverside and Morningside Parks.

Once the cone has reached a critical mass, the remaining bones, preserved during the reverse corrosion process, are pulverized and reintroduced to Columbia’s campus as mortar.

A mound of sand collects between Fayerweather and Avery Halls.

5 DEEP TIME CAPSULES As time passes, Columbia University is buried beneath the Old World. Sitting prestigiously underground, it acts as a time capsule of the years 1897 to 2097. Children from the 22nd century are astonished to hear about untouchable Ivy League schools, charging exorbitant amounts of money for education. Excavation trips involve careful restoration of the ivory towers and now dilapidated libraries. Very few historians care to ask what lies below the schools. City infrastructure and pre-colonial artifacts become obsolete. The 2016 IN HONOR OF THE LENAPE PEOPLE sign was extracted some 185 years ago. Some radical thinkers with access to counter-culture texts believe there was an escape capsule that gathered all relics of pre-colonial thought.

“… i’d rather be a cyborg than a goddess.”1 is for oppositional cyborgs.”2 In other words, the cyborg defies the pressures and bounds of labels to become a body-less figure of communication and feminist practice. The cyborg’s agenda is not gendered, it is universal. Networking is its tool to transcend the limitations of a ‘body’ within the built environment and ideological spaces. By defining the cyborg in Haraway’s lens, the goddess becomes its foil. The metaphor of the goddess suggests an image of fertility and motherhood. The goddess evokes powerful femininity.

This metaphor suggests that women’s power is intertwined with the power and symbolism of their bodies. Haraway critiques this approach: “The speculum served as an icon of women’s claiming their bodies in the 1970s; that handcraft tool is inadequate to express our needed body politics in the negotiation The initial question is how do these two feminist approaches of reality in the practices of react to specific socio-economic cyborg reproduction.

For this paper, her quote introduces two important characters/ concepts for radical feminists’ theories of the late 20th century: the cyborg and the goddess.

Specifically, the work and philosophies of ecofeminists beginning in the 1970s and the writings and theories of social feminists in the1980s. Although the myth of the cyborg and the metaphor of the goddess seem to be oppositional reactions to the oppression and Othering of women, these ideas are both reacting to technological advancement, human’s relationship to nature, domesticity, and political identities.

Haraway’s critique of eco-feminism is supported by scholars like Stacy Alaimo in “Cyborg and Ecofeminist interventions: Challenges for an Environmental Feminism.”4 I will first contextualize these perspectives against eco-feminism using Alaimo’s essay and Haraway’s cyborg.

To challenge these arguments, I will then introduce ecofeminist ideologies and the eco-work of Ana Mendieta and Mierle Laderman Ukeles. In order to debate both feminist perspectives, it is necessary to unpack the purpose and utilization of myth and metaphor in both philosophies.

With this historical and conceptual positioning, it will become possible to juxtapose the beliefs of social feminism and eco-feminism. To support the social feminists’ perspective, I will use Haraway’s 1985 cyborg manifesto. The 1976 “Tree of Life”5 artwork by Ana Mendieta and Ukeles’ 1973 “Washing/Tracks/ Maintenance: Outside”6 will inform the eco-feminist response.

How do these radical feminism movements and reactions question boundaries, language, and the socio-political realities and futures of oppressed bodies in late 20th century America?

context: social feminism and the critique of eco-feminism To analyze the responses of social feminism tête-à-tête with eco-feminism it is necessary to contextualize the cyborg within Haraway’s social feminist theory, the critique of eco-feminism and concurrent celebration of the cyborg. The cyborg, or rather the “image of the cyborg” is a representation of paradoxes.7 It is a “cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism” that is both fictional and anchored in social realities.8 By defining the cyborg as a creature that is both fictional and fixed in reality, Haraway is able to critique this reality and propose alternative potentials through the experience of the cyborg. Notably, the cyborg and social feminism simultaneously construct and blur societal, natural, and political boundaries. This practice imagines a utopian world without gender, while also criticizing utopian “textualization” that perpetuates social norms of domination.9 Social feminism and the cyborg “end the unity of women by enforcing the experience and testimony to radical non-being.”10 Social feminism “naturalize and denature the category ‘woman’ and consciousness of the social lives of ‘women’.”11 The cyborg positions social feminism as a practice of being aware of self not by reinforcing this self, but by considering the self that is not.

Stacy Alaimo clarifies Haraway’s concept of self-consciousness:

“the utopian cyborg allows us to think of ourselves in ways that subvert the dualisms of domination.”12 In particular, Alaimo is discussing the human/ animal boundary and nature/ culture dualism. She claims that the cyborg (as a creature that blurs the boundary between human/animal/machine) destabilizes the myth of nature as an object to be dominated. On the other hand, she explains that eco-feminist “strengthen the bonds between women and nature by critiquing their parallel oppressions.”13 In other words, the association of women and nature continues and supports western systems of oppression.

Alaimo suggests that eco-feminism perpetuates Othering by acknowledging patriarchal capitalism and outdated woman/ nature associations.

context: eco-feminism In opposition to Alaimo’s utopian belief in the cyborg’s utopian society, Karen J. Warren’s ecofeminist philosophy explains how these dualisms exists within ecofeminist logic. “”Women and nature have been constructed as Other in patriarchal societies’ and the dichotomies of man-woman, culture-nature, mind-body, and reason-emotion in Western society have led to a dominance of supposedly ‘male’ characteristics” and the “logic of domination.”14 Ecofeminism explores the negative effects of the “man-nature dichotomies.”15 In effect, the purpose of the ecofeminist is not that different from the utopian vision of the cyborg. In “Into an Era of Landscape Humanim”, Gina Ford states “truly sustainable development requires careful orchestration of complex layers of technical expertise as well as the including of many distinct voices and constituencies.”16 This socio-ecological positioning considers multiple points of views.

This practice does not blur human/nature man/nature culture/ nature boundaries, it reinforces experiences of women, species, societies, etc. This is contrary to social feminism and the cyborg which “naturalizes” and “denatures” these exact experiences.17 To expand on this juxtaposition between the work of the cyborg and ecofeminist works, I will use two eco-works. The first is Ana Mendieta’s “Tree of Life.”18

This mid to late 1970s series features Mendieta’s body camouflaged with elements including (and not limited to) mud, sticks, blood, feathers.19 Mendieta’s series is a notable visualization of the ecofeminist philosophy. Her womanhood represented with her body is physically transformed by earth. What is more is the photographs are powerful and evocative. Like many ecofeminists works of the time, “Tree of Life” is a metaphor for life, death, birth, and her spiritual connection with the earth. This work embodies the metaphor of the goddess.

Mierle Laderman Ukeles’ 1973 “Washing/Tracks/Maintenance: Order” incorporates many scales of ecofeminist ideology. In this set of photographs, Ukeles is Mierle Laderman Ukeles’ 1973 “Washing/Tracks/Maintenance: Order” incorporates many scales of ecofeminist ideology. In this set of photographs, Ukeles is tending to the built environment.20 She is photographed on her hands and knees mopping and scrubbing municipal steps with rags. This work allows us to define “women’s work” in comparison with the work of cyborg. Ukeles is jumping scales from the ‘household worker’ to the maintenance worker. These scales will allow us to think about the metaphor of the do-

mestic ‘household worker’ and the role of women as caretaker.

Additionally, these photographs position the “white artist does the hands-on maintenance work that art institutions usually reserve for people of color.”21 This is significant in terms of the argument of the cyborg and the eco-feminists. Can we also understand how Ukeles Others herself not only as she performs ‘women’s work’ but also performing domestic work within the urbanscape? Lastly, it is important to note that both Ana Mendieta and Ukeles are using themselves as the subjects of their photography. Although their bodies are performing differently, Mendieta is transforming into earth and Ukeles is tending to the city, their bodies are photographed performing in ‘traditionally’ women roles. This work uses the domination and oppression of women’s role to expose societal neglect and oppression.

With an understanding of the late twentieth century context of social feminism and the cyborg relative to eco-feminism and the work of Ana Mendieta and Mierle Laderman Ukeles, we can begin to debate their approaches and reactions. How does their work use nature as a conceptual scaffolding? How do Haraway and ecofeminists blur the machine-body boundary via coding of realities? How does the work of the cyborg and eco-work react to domesticity and politics of the late 20th century?

“washing/tracks/maintainence:outside”

What is the role of and relationship with the “Earth” within these radical feminist theories?

SF:

“The cyborg would not recognize the Garden of Eden: it is not made of mud and cannot dream of returning to dust.”22

EF:

“This separation [the sep aration between man and nature] places people outside the ecosystem of which they are a part and reinforces land ethic of either control or own ership instead of partners hip and interrelation ship.”23

With this statement, it seems that Haraway’s cyborg is directly criticizing the ideology of ecofeminists, specifically the earth-body work of Ana Mendieta. The cyborg clearly and strongly seeks to destabilize the man-nature nature-culture dualisms. In doing so, the cyborg positions a social feminism “that doesn’t exploit nature.”24 Alaimo continues to examine the relationship between social feminism and nature: “Merchant and Haraway disrupt this narrative by casting nature as an active agent, not an ahistorical, passive resource for domination.”25 This reinforces the point of view that Ecofeminism and eco-work exploits and Others nature along woman in the goal

of commenting on their equal oppression. She continues to call this a “politics in affinities of victimization or motherhood” rather than “political alliances of woman and nature.”26 The cyborg as a human-machine hybrid immediately subverts this victimization relationship alongside nature. The cyborg body is not an oppressed body; thus it is post-nature and more capable of critiquing and transgressing the gendered tendencies of a patriarchal society.

ship along with the symbolism of motherhood reinforces the power of Ana Mendieta’s message and the complexities of ecofeminism.

I would argue that the work of Mendieta and the idea of partnership with the earth is not “an ahistorical, passive resource for domination.” The vulnerability between the elemental materials and the body of Mendieta is not an indication of oppression by the viewer (or society), it is a testament to human-nature respect and partnership.

In doing so, this series literally and conceptually places herself within the ecosystem. It is also important to note that her eco-work does not manipulate or rebuild natural environments (re: Smithson or Heizer), she is only manipulating the appearance of her body.

This relays respect and partnership with nature, rather than dominion or control. This relation-

patriarchal capitalism vs. destructive technophilia “On the one hand, Mother Earth and ecofeminist glorifications of nature play into the pockets of patriarchal capitalism; on the other hand, cyborgs forsake alliances between women and nature and may bolster a destructive technophilia.”28 These ideologies and their respective link with nature is intertwined with their position on and/or practice of technology.

How does technological advancement reinforce and define the life of the cyborg/ the life of the ‘mother’?

EF:

“Challenges to urban sus tainability are too often described in terms that position humans as standing outside the nature they seek to protect; in response, engineered or other techno-science solutions become predominant.”29

SF:

“Communication tech nologies depend on elec tronics.”30

EF:

“Translated into contem porary practice terms, the areas for innovation lie in the realms of process and public engagement, maintenance and monitoriing, and communications.”31

SF:

“Communications sci ences and modern biol

ogies are constructed by a common move the translation of the world into a problem of coding, a search for a common language in which all resistance to instrumental control disappears and all heterogeneity can be submitted to dis assembly, reassembly, investment and exchange.”32 This imagined conversation between social feminism and ecofeminism reinforce Alaimo’s statement above. In the interest of feminism, the advancement of communication is key. Eco-feminists communications are translated into civic and sustainable engagement. Mireles Laderman Ukeles’ work is a commentary on both. Additionally, contextualizing these statements within the work of Mendieta and Ukeles introduces the role of photography and performance art as specific codes of communication and public engagement. Their art is read and archived in photos.

The work exists in the moment of performance, the negative, and the produced photo. These scales of interaction and impact are important within ecofeminism.

In response, Haraway suggests that “the technologies of visualization recall the important cultural practice of hunting with the camera and the deeply

predatory nature of photographic consciousness.”33 In this reading of the eco-work, the scales of performance and photography are counter-productive to feminist practice. The codes associated with photography are inherently corrupt, regardless of intent. Haraway continues to say “the handcraft tool is inadequate to express our needed body politics in negotiation of reality in the practices of cyborg reproduction.”34 Embracing the machine-human boundary of the cyborg allows effective coding of communications and exchanges.

Its position in science fiction and reality removes the control and oppression inherent to ‘handcraft’ and historic technologies of communication. With the cyborg, there is no patriarchal lens and no bias in code.

Considering the conceptual role of nature and technology and the systematic role of social politics, would you rather be a cyborg or a goddess? Is it not possible to be both? A creature that acknowledges a transgressive self who is capable of translation and communication without distortion and historical oppression and a self who is connected to nature and their environment defiant against societal and patriarchal dominion.

Perhaps this is possible. We must acknowledge that the cyborg is in not only a utopian ideal of science fiction, it is rooted in reality and a goddess exists not only as a symbol of motherhood in nature, she is a domestic laborer in the built environment.

<A school is intrinsically a place of growth and tending. Educators, students, mentors, parents, and community members engage in conversations that demand patience, empathy, and respect. The proposed environment intends to promote collective and individual tending. Tending towards the productive stickiness of misunderstanding. Tending towards absorption. Tending towards production.>

mycelium networks

design team on site with Schaghticoke First Nations

<During our site exploration, we became aware of severe natural elements critical to the site and its connection to the land, mycelium, fungi, and milky quarts in particular. Beneath trees exist an underground network of mycelium. Mycelium fibers are a type of fungi that creates an intricate network of interconnectedness in the soil. As a result of this beautiful network and the appearance of several mushroom types on site, mycelium plays an important role in both our design and construction.>

Schaghticoke First Nations’ Hawk leading a hike on site

beneath our feet <We imagine a 1000-year-future where the unseen mycelium networks surface above ground, adjusting, evolving, and living in, on, and among our architecture. While the lack of human interaction in the sight may be seen as unsettling to some, we welcome intertwining architecture and nature. As we learn to respect what’s beneath our own feet, we learn to acknowledge the sacredness of land, mycelia, and to think about what it means to give architecture to the fibers of the Earth.>
