AUDC [http://www.audc.org] announces a lecture on two recent works, Ether
and Quartzsite, Arizona at 6.30pm, 3 March, at The Urban Center, 457 Madison
Avenue, between 50th and 51st Streets, in New York City.

Entitled "Smart Maps and Intelligent Locations,"
[http://www.archleague.org/lectures.php?article=smartMaps] the evening is
part of the Architectural League's Spring 2005 Sitegeist series and will
pair AUDC co-founder Kazys Varnelis's presentation of the above two projects
with a presentation by architect Laura Kurgan on the interface between
building, electronic media, and information technology in both her art and
her architecture. Landscape architect Kate Orff will serve as the
interlocutor during the discussion session.

Ether [http://www.audc.org/ether] investigates a building purported to be
both the world's most connected location and the most expensive space in
North America, telecom hotel One Wilshire, located in downtown Los Angeles.

Quartzsite, Arizona [http://www.audc.org/quartzsite] is a town of 5,000 in
the summer that swells into an instant city every winter with the influx of
more than a million RV dwellers.

Both One Wilshire and Quartzsite are extreme conditions through which AUDC
explores the role of contemporary individuals and communities and their
relationship to objects, buildings, cities, and networks.

AUDC's goal is to speculatively investigate the contemporary city using the
tools of the architect, the historian, and the designer. AUDC blurs
traditional divisions between media by working simultaneously in print, web,
video, photography, drawings, models,
dioramas, and installations while addressing the particularities of each
medium. Likewise, AUDC breaks down the boundaries between theory and
practice by uniting both scholarship and design research.
