Archeworks Announces New LeadershipArcheworks co-founders and directors, designer Eva Maddox and architect Stanley Tigerman, have passed the baton to award-winning architects Sarah Dunn and Martin Felsen.
Dunn and Felsen were introduced officially as new co-directors of Archeworks at a symposium on January 16, 2008 at Archeworks.
Under the leadership of Dunn and Felsen, Archeworks will operate as a do-tank to engage in an international discussion of the future of cities.
It's a critical issue.
At the outset of the 20th Century, 10 percent of the worldwide population lived in cities.
In 2025, according to the United Nations, the number of city dwellers will likely reach 5 billion people.
Beginning with the 2008-2009 academic year Archeworks will address urban issues such as health, energy, mobility and lifestyles.
The 2008-2009 school year will focus on water.
Archeworks students will envision ways that Chicago can become a sustainable urban model for dealing with the global water scarcity dilemma.
In subsequent years Archeworks will take on developing proposals to help Chicago to meet each of the other challenges, one issue per year.
