John P. Maruszczak, Associate Professor of Architecture,

At the October 12 Focus on Faculty lecture, UT Arlington Architecture Professor John Maruszczak will discuss four of his awardwinning projects and provide a short introduction to "pulp architecture."

P.U.L.P. architecture is a series of interrelated, collaborative research enquiries, studios and projects which attempt to negotiate the contemporary moment in the profession and discipline of architecture. P.U.L.P is a working model contained within the acronym: Pedagogics &emdash; Urgency &emdash; Liminal &emdash; Portal.

Maruszczak has worked in partnership with Roger Connah on several projects. These include Chromotopia (Unbuilt Architecture Design Award, Boston Society of Architects, 2003); Interface, Animall and Brautigan (Finalist, Dead Malls International Competition, L.A. Forum for Architecture/Urban Design, 2004); and Pulping Detroit @ 00:00:56 (Cranbrook Art Museum 2004, Detroit Art Center 2005).
