Study Notes

The Emilio Ambasz Institute for the Joint Study of the Built and Natural Environment was established two and a half years ago with a gift from Emilio Ambasz, a curator at MoMA in the 60s and 70s.
The institute aims to foster research on the relationship between the built and natural environment.
Since its inception, the institute has organized various programs to address different audiences, including university students, architects, designers, and children.
One program, Material Worlds, is a discussion series focused on different building materials, collaborated with Columbia University, and made publicly available through YouTube.
Another program, Built Ecologies, is a series of YouTube videos featuring architects and designers with environmental and ecological concerns.
The institute also hosts an annual summit, Architecture Studio in the Anthropocene, inviting architecture schools in the US and Canada to discuss addressing the climate crisis in their studios.
The institute involves children in its research, transforming exhibits and acquisitions into activities for schools, with over 5,000 schools in the New York area participating.
In the past year, the institute hosted two academic conferences, one in Reykjavik, Iceland, with over 50 scholars in attendance.
The institute's research and programs aim to address the relationship between the built and natural environment and the climate crisis.
