I would like to formally welcome and announce Dr. Theodore C. Landsmark ’s, M.E.v.D., J.D., PH.D., Associate AIA, D.F.A. (Hon.) participation in the Sept. 2nd Roundtable being held in conjunction with our Trailer Premier Benefit at the Center for Architecture. The discussion will focus upon how generational recessions have affected design training in the past and how we can evolve the profession under the current economic landscape for a better design future. I’m excited to tap Ted’s depth of experience in both the academic and public sectors for our conversation. He is currently the President of the Boston Architectural College since 1997 and has performed a number of roles within the Mayor’s Office and the communities of Greater Boston.

Single Servings: A Stain on Boston, Part II
When people who’ve lived in Boston talk to each other, their reminiscences are often wildly variable, depending on when they lived there. A mentor of mine lived in Somerville in the 1980’s, and has a memory of this city I can’t believe. It sounds like paradise. This is because I lived there during the Big Dig, the federal highway project which temporarily re-routed, demolished, then restored, several miles of superhighway through the city. The Dig affected every aspect of the city, constricting traffic miles away by remote influence, and in my opinion infused the city with a powerful, unfocused daily rage. A predisposition toward hate. This is the second of a series of stories about the eruptions of anger, difficulty and pain I witnessed.
Eighty-year-old man hits the ground outside the Senior Center doing ninety and dies. Splat. The jury’s back in the case of Mortal Coil v. Boston Department of Public Works Sidewalk, verdict unanimous. Unlucky, clumsy, depressed or pushed, who knows, another day in Boston, another poor fuck accelerating at 9.8 meters per second squared toward nothing good.
