School of Architecture Adjunct Professor, Lori Ryker will present her lecture “Exploring the Relationship Between Culture and Nature” this Friday, October 9th, at 5:00 p.m. in Gaines Hall 101.
Dr. Ryker is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at MSU, School of Architecture. She is a 2009 recipient of the Artist’s Innovation Award. The Artist’s Innovation Award is made possible by the Montana Arts Council, an agency of State Government, through funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
For the past 400 years, quickly developing cultures have encouraged the perception of a reality that separates humankind from the rest of the world. Dr. Ryker’s presentation will focus on how our constructions, demonstrated in the design work of Ryker/Nave Design, studioryker and Remote Studio, can provide an experiential interface between the rural and the wild that help support the understanding that we are part of nature rather than distinct from it. To acquaint yourself with some of Lori’s work prior to her lecture, you may view her website at www.artemisinstitute.org.
Registered for one hour of AIA Continuing Education Units.

dubai! dubai! An Urban Vision Manifested by the People, in Place through Process Friday October 2nd, at 5:00 pm, in Reynolds Recital Hall
Dr. Fatih A. Rifki, Professor and Director of the School of Architecture is the second speaker in the fall semester School of Architecture lecture series: He will deliver a lecture on his current scholarship in urbanism (instant cities), using Dubai as a case study. The lecture, titled “dubai! dubai! An Urban Vision Manifested by the People, in Place through Process” will occur Friday October 2nd, at 5:00 pm, in Reynolds Recital Hall.
Prior to Joining the School of Architecture at MSU, Dr. Rifki served as Dean of the School of Architecture and Design at the American University of Sharjah and lived in the United Arab Emirates for five years. The experience provided him the opportunity to observe and study Dubai’s development as an “instant city” of global recognition and repute as well as assess its unprecedented growth in terms of six normative characteristics that measure urban sustainability: compact urban form, comprehensive land use, connected transportation, comprehensible identity, contained morphology and re-configurable urban development.
