On Thursday, February 12th, @home: Architecture Inside Out will explore how the architecture we inhabit is not just the setting for but the narrative subject of human life. For this Daniels Fora series event, the graphic novelist Richard McGuire, author of the acclaimed book HERE will join Danielle Aubert, co-creator of the book Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies: Lafayette, Detroit, to discuss how the architecture of domesticity and depictions of the home reveal the changing ways that our private and public lives play out in the space of the city.  
 
Richard Sommer, Dean and Professor of Architecture and Urbanism, and Professor Robert Levit, Director of the Master of Architecture program at the Daniels Faculty will moderate.

Speakers

Richard McGuire is a regular contributor to The New Yorker. His work has appeared in The New York Times, McSweeney’s, Le Monde, and Libération. He has written and directed for two omnibus feature films: Loulou et Autre Loups (Loulou and Other Wolves, 2003) and Peur(s) du Noir (Fear[s] of the Dark, 2007). He has also designed and manufactured his own line of toys, and he is the founder and bass player of the no-wave band Liquid Liquid. The six-page comicHere, which appeared in 1989 in Raw magazine, volume 2, number 1, was immediately recognized as a transformative work that would expand the possibilities of the comic medium. Its influence continues to be felt twenty-five years after its publication.

Danielle Aubert, Lana Cavar and Natasha Chandani are graphic designers based in New York and Zagreb, Croatia. Their collaborative group, Placement examines the interaction of people with places. Their first project, Thanks for the View, Mr. Mies, a book about Lafayette Park, Detroit, (Metropolis Books, 2012) was selected by the AIGA as one of the 50 best book designs of 2012 and described by architecture historian Phyllis Lambert as "a superb field guide" to the neighborhood. They are currently working on their second book project, which looks at the life of the Holiday Inn hotel in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina. Aubert, Cavar and Chandani met in the Graphic Design MFA program at Yale University. Photo by Charles Roussel
