FORUM 3 - Thursday, March 19th 7-10pm

Theme: “NOTES ON MY HOUSE” a meditation on architecture and its visceral impact on our early lives.

"Notes on My House" is an occasional collaboration between architect/musician Jeremy Linzee and design critic/fiction writer Andrea Codrington.

In his current position at the design studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro Architects, Linzee has collaborated with cultural theorist Paul Virilio on an extensive installation at the Fondation Cartier in Paris and worked on the High Line Park in downtown Manhattan. Before Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Linzee worked with artist/designer Vito Acconci as well as Kohn Pedersen Fox and Associates on a number of conceptual and built projects. Linzee has also been a guest critic at Columbia University, Dartmouth University and the Cooper Union and a teaching assistant at Princeton University, where he received his masters degree. When he’s not practicing architecture, Linzee fronts Summer Lawns, whose debut album, First We Waited…Then We Started (2007) led critics to hail the band as “the subtle secret that’s slowly turning into riveting gossip.”
