Japanese-American Internment during WWII - author Richard Reeves Infamy
Bestselling author Richard Reeves provides an authoritative account of the internment of more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans and Japanese aliens during World War II. Less than three months after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and inflamed the nation, President Roosevelt signed an executive order declaring parts of four western states to be a war zone operating under military rule. The U.S. Army immediately began rounding up thousands of Japanese-Americans, sometimes giving them less than 24 hours to vacate their houses and farms. For the rest of the war, these victims of war hysteria were imprisoned in primitive camps. The book is: Infamy: The Shocking Story of the Japanese-American Internment in World War II

Joel Yamauchi lecture: Experiences of Japanese-American Internees from Oregon
A public lecture presented at the University of Oregon Department of Architecture on May 6, 2009.
Shikata-ganai
In early May 1942, the Japanese-American citizens of the the Hood River Valley, Oregon were shipped by train to internment camps around the United States. While America at that time felt this was an appropriate reaction to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the consensus since then is that it was a racist and unnecessary act. As part of a permanent exhibit on the Incarceration of Japanese Americans at the Hood River County History Museum, this video is narrated by author and educator Linda Tamura, EdD. Providing a brief background to the story familiar to Japanese immigrants to the United States in the early 20th century, the video features rare original film footage and many photos of Japanese Americans living in rural Oregon. It is ultimately a story of courage and perseverance in the face of cultural discrimination.
Written by Linda Tamura and E. Michael Friend. Videography by John Hardham. Original music by Ben Schaffner.

Dan Kaplan: Urban Alchemies: Repair and Transformation
2018 L. Michael Goldsmith Lecture featuring Dan Kaplan
How to build in the city? That's what this talk is about, said Dan Kaplan (B.Arch. '84), who gave the annual L. Michael Goldsmith lecture at AAP NYC in April. Kaplan is a senior partner at FXCollaborative, a leading green building design firm with offices in New York City and Washington, DC.
This year's L. Michael Goldsmith lecture featuring Dan Kaplan was the largest and most successful to date, said Robert (Bob) W. Balder (B.S. URS '89), Gensler Family Sesquicentennial Executive Director of AAP NYC. The event was complemented by a gallery installation showcasing FXCollaborative's award-winning projects.
In his talk titled Urban Alchemies: Repair and Transformation, Kaplan used the examples in the gallery installation to set out three concepts to approaching urban design. First, the centuries-old method of fixing broken pottery known as Kintsugi, in which lacquer dusted with gold is applied to aged or broken ceramic to accentuate surface cracks, was used to provide a visual metaphor for the city. Next, Kaplan discussed contextual urbanism, where building design should relate to the adjacent context and extend into the future by incorporating sustainability, solar, temperature, humidity, and landscape. Collaboration, the third concept, is rooted in FXCollaborative's philosophy. Formerly FXFowle, the firm rebranded itself in early 2018 to represent a design culture and philosophy reflected in the way its projects are achieved for their clients and the broader community.
The annual Goldsmith lecture was established in memory of L. Michael Goldsmith by his family and friends in recognition of his passion for his education at Cornell, his career, and love of the profession of architecture.
