Ski hills and jumps from the 1972 Winter Olympics are scattered within the city limits, and Niseko, a renowned ski resort, is nearby.
3 – Blue Canyon, USA – Average Annual Snowfall: 240 inches (609.6 cm)
Blue Canyon is an unincorporated community in Placer County, California. Blue Canyon is located 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Emigrant Gap and lies at an elevation of 4695 feet (1431 m). It was possibly named for the blue smoke of the camps when extensive lumbering occurred there in the 1850s, but locals say it might be named after a miner from that same period called “Old Jim Blue”.
2 – Aomori City, Japan – Average Annual Snowfall: 312 inches (792.48 cm)
Aomori and its surrounding area are renowned for heavy snowfall, the heaviest among all Japanese cities, and, in fact, among the heaviest in the world. The particularly heavy snow is caused by several winds that collide around the city and make the air rise and cool, resulting in quick, thick cloud formation followed by intense precipitation.
1 – Toyama, Japan – Average Annual Snowfall: 413 inches (1049.02 cm)
You have probably seen these images all over the internet. They are indeed of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route near Toyama, Japan. The route is carefully built so that the surrounding environment is not damaged. Consequently, three lines go entirely under tunnels. (This is also to protect the lines from snow.) Among them are two are trolleybus lines and these are used to prevent exhaust fumes from melting the snow.

Labor Studies Working Group Symposium: “Labor in a Changing Climate: Climate Change and Labor”
March 2, 2017. PARCC Conversations in Conflict Studies: The Tenth Decade Work, Labor, and Citizenship Project presents Labor in a Changing Climate: Climate Change, Labor and Global Citizenship.
Green Jobs? Pipeline struggles? Infrastructure? Recent events have revealed potential overlaps and tensions between climate and labor struggles. The ongoing battle over the Dakota Access Pipeline demonstrates the split within the labor movement on environmental questions; especially related to climate change. This event brings together experts and activists who seek to bridge these tensions between climate and labor activism. What would it mean to create a unified climate-labor movement? How can such a movement respond to the new leadership in the White House? What is the role of policy in creating solutions to climate change that also appeal to working class and other marginalized constituents? How can such a movement create forms of “global citizenship” to address the uneven historical responsibilities for and contemporary environmental impacts of climate change. This event will address these questions and many more.
Guest Panelists: Christian Parenti, Global Liberal Studies, New York University; Kate Aronoff, Writing Fellow, In These Times; Howie Hawkins, 2014 Green Party candidate for New York Governor, Member, Teamsters Local 317.
Beta-Real Symposium
March 23, 2018 in Slocum Hall at Syracuse University.
Harry der Boghosian Symposium
A diverse group of seven thinkers and makers explores the philosophical turn away from singular, knowable, stable, and metaphysical absolutes, towards a multitude of experiential, ambivalent, shared realities. Such ambivalent and unstable states have come increasingly to characterize our shared reality—from sites of contested memory and amnesia, to economic and identity politics in a globalized age of displacement, to scientific and technological revolutions.
The Beta-Real names a search for alternative frameworks of understanding that might allow us to confront the contradictions of our contemporary reality. How we deal with these contradictions has social, cultural, and political implications—not only for architecture, humanities, science, society, and culture at large, but also for everyday life.
Participants discuss how architecture might address and negotiate these states of contradiction. Participants present their own designs and research and discuss in round-table format how they each confront and navigate the Beta-Real.
Participants:
Linda Zhang, Boghosian Fellow
Ani Liu, Artist and speculative technologist, New York, NY
Biko Mandela Gray, Assistant Professor, Department of Religion, Syracuse University
Natalie Koerner, Ph.D. candidate, Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Copenhagen, Denmark
Bryan E. Norwood, Ph.D. candidate in the history and theory of architecture, Harvard University; Visiting Assistant Professor, Mississippi State University School of Architecture
Irene Chin, Curatorial Coordinator, Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal, Canada
William Stewart, Ph.D. candidate, Princeton University Department of German
Yolandé Gouws, Artist, Berlin

Barry Bergdoll, Learning from the Americas: Gropius and Breuer in the New World
Barry Bergdoll will present a short lecture on Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, arguing that the Bauhaus emigrés did not only have an impact at Harvard; they were types and models for the New World in general, with considerable attention from Latin America in particular. With responses by Michael Hays, Eliot Noyes Professor of Architectural Theory, and Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean and Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Design.
Barry Bergdoll is the Meyer Schapiro Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University and Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art.

The One-Cent Magenta, James Barron, Maynard Sundman Lecture 2017
The Fourteenth Maynard Sundman Lecture took place Thursday, September 21, 2017 at the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum.
The museum welcomed Mr. James Barron, who published the book titled The One-Cent Magenta: Inside the Quest to Own the Most Valuable Stamp in the World. Through the stories of those who have bought, owned, and sold the One-Cent Magenta, James Barron delivered a fascinating tale of global history and immense wealth, and of the human desire to collect.
Born in Washington, D.C., Mr. Barron joined the New York Times in June 1977 after graduating from Princeton University, where he had been the paper’s correspondent during his junior and senior years.

Rethinking Pei: A Centenary Symposium, Panel 1: Technology
Panel 1 Participants:
Eric Höweler, moderator
Janet Adams Strong: “Continuity and Change: Fine-face Concrete in Physical Manifestation of I. M. Pei’s Approach to Architecture”
Annette Fierro: “Effective Depths: Transparent Domains”
Brett Schneider: “Early Tall Structures in Context”
Leslie Robertson: “Bank of China, Miho Museum and Bridge, and Other Projects”
A two-part symposium examining the work and life of I. M. Pei from multiple vantage points. Organized by the Harvard GSD with M+, Hong Kong, and the Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong.
Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most celebrated yet under-theorized architects of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Although Pei’s six-decade career is mostly identified with his unwavering interest in cultural synthesis and the power of pure geometrical form, his modes of practice demand further investigation of their intertwinement with the multiple historical and discursive moments of modern architecture. The two-day symposium will include panel discussions and scholarly presentations that showcase new research on Pei’s manifold contributions to the built environment. Notable alumni from Pei’s office will discuss the emergence of a new kind of architectural practice in the postwar era. Among the topics to be addressed in the paper sessions are technological innovations with concrete, the glass curtain wall, and structural designs; Pei’s longstanding affinities for China’s landscape and vernacular traditions; his legacy on major urban spaces in Boston and other cities around the world; and the increasingly global and transnational conditions of architectural production that Pei successfully navigated. Organized with M+, the new museum for visual culture being built in Hong Kong, this symposium is part of a yearlong celebration of the 100th birthday of Ieoh Ming (I. M.) Pei MArch ’46. Both I. M. and his wife, Eileen Pei GSD ’44, studied at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, as did their sons Chien Chung (Didi) Pei, AB ’68, MArch ’72, and Li Chung (Sandi) Pei, AB ’72, MArch ’76. Pei was also an assistant professor of architecture at the GSD. In March the GSD held a panel discussion, led by Harry Cobb AB ’47, MArch ’49, which focused on the formative years of I. M. Pei’s career as well as some of his special friendships, influences, and projects.
A second symposium, co-organized by M+ and the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong, will be held in Hong Kong on December 14-15.
These two symposia are made possible with the generous support of the C Foundation.

William Powhida - Visual Artist & Former Art Critic
William Powhida makes fun of the art world to highlight the paradoxes and absurdities of economic and social value systems that keep the sphere of visual art afloat on a surging tide of inequality. His work relies on research and participation to diagram, list, perform and critique the forces that shape perceptions of value. He is responsible or partly responsible for exhibitions including After The Contemporary at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Month2Month with Jennifer Dalton, Overculture at Postmasters Gallery, and Hashtag Class [#class] with Jennifer Dalton at Winkleman Gallery. His recent exhibition After After the Contemporary was on view at Charlie James Gallery this spring and he will be exhibiting in November at Gallery Poulsen in Copenhagen.
Powhida is an infrequent contributor to Art F City and Hyperallergic on issues that alarm him and a member of the Artists Studio Affordability Project, an artist-led advocacy group working towards commercial rent regulation. He is also the co-host of Explain Me, a biweekly podcast with Paddy Johnson exploring the intersection of art, money and politics.
He is currently represented by Postmasters Gallery (NY), Charlie James Gallery (LA), Poulsen Gallery (DK), and Platform Gallery (WA). He holds a BFA in Painting from Syracuse University and an MFA in painting from Hunter College. His work has been written about in The New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, The Los Angeles Times, Hyperallergic, Art F City, The Guardian, The New Yorker, New York magazine and October, among other publications.

Rights and Racism: The Complex Legacies of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Elizabeth Cady Stanton: An American Life Untidy Origins by Lori Ginzberg
Recognizing the centennial of women’s suffrage in New York State, Lori Ginzberg, Professor of History and Women’s Studies at Penn State University, discusses her recent book, Elizabeth Cady Stanton: An American Life. Known as a social activist and American suffragist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton [1815-1902] was a prominent figure in the early women’s rights effort. Her story, however, is not entirely heroic. Like all leaders, Stanton was a complex figure, whose absolutism about “woman’s rights” contained a racist and elitist stand that continues to shape her legacy.
