Our Stories, with Galen Cranz
Teacher, designer, professor, writer, consultant and wonderful human Galen Cranz, will lead a group of teachers in an adventure, to share from the stage a chorus of voices, to paint a picture of who we are.
This talk presents a whole collection of life experiences. From senior teacher to trainee, coming from all walks of life, backgrounds, and nations, our teachers sit together to be together. In hearing their stories, we wish to paint a representative image of the AT in society today, and to share exciting and inspiring episodes, to highlight significant transformative learning moments.
Be invited to this a camp fire????situation, with people sitting in a semicircle on stage, facing the audience, and sharing their stories.
About Galen Cranz
Galen Cranz is a designer, a consultant, and a Professor of the Graduate School in the Architecture Department at the University of California at Berkeley, where she taught social and cultural approaches to architecture and urban design, and established the field of Body Conscious Design. She received her PhD in Sociology from the University of Chicago and certified as a teacher of the Alexander Technique with Thom Lemens of New York.
Cranz has lectured widely on her perspective on Body Conscious Design and taught her unique approach at craft schools including the Penland School of Crafts, The Oregon College of Arts and Crafts, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and the Domus Academy of Design in Milan, Italy. Her research on the chair has attracted media attention from the New York Times, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, Seattle Times, Oregonian, Bay Guardian, Metropolis, Metropolitan Home, Toronto’s Globe and Mail, New Scientist (UK), WGN Radio Chicago, KGO-TV San Francisco, KRON-TV San Francisco, CNN, NPR, BBC, ABC, and elsewhere. The Chair: Rethinking Culture, Body and Design (Norton 1998) received a 2004 Achievement Award from the Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA). She was co-principle investigator and recipient of the Latrobe Fellowship for architectural research (2005-2007) to study evidence-based hospital lighting and design with Kaiser Permanente Hospitals and Gordon Chong Architecture.
As a designer she has been part of significant park design competition teams for Spectacle Island, Boston Inner Harbor; Olympia Fields, Chicago; Tschumi\’s Parc de LaVillette in Paris, and lead designer for and winner of the St. Paul Cityscape competition of 1984. She holds two US patents for body conscious bathtub and chair designs. In 2005-2007 she designed and built a residence for the elderly following universal design principles.
Her creative work includes research and writing about urban parks, Body Conscious Design, sustainability, housing for the elderly, and the sociology of taste in environmental design. She is the author of The Politics of Park Design: A History of Urban Parks in America (MIT 1982) and has since published a major article, “Defining the Sustainable Park: A Fifth Model of Urban Parks” in Landscape Journal (2004). She is a frequent lecturer about urban parks and juror for park design competitions. Emphasizing ethnography as a research method, she brings users’ as well as creators’ perspectives to our understanding of built environments. In 2016 she published Ethnography for Designers (Routledge), a new text on the use of ethnography for designers. Her teaching includes the point of view of different American cultures, as part of Berkeley’s American Cultures requirement. In 2011 she received the Career Award, the highest award of the Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA). She is currently teaching and writing about taste in design. In this manuscript Taste and Design she offers a new synthesis of three main pillars of thinking about taste: utility, meaning, and aesthetics.

Closing Celebration
Join Wolfgang Weiser, Rossella, Andreas and the Congress Team to share some highlights from the past week and to say thank you and goodbye.
As you find out about the next Congress, let’s think together about what are you going to take home from this week’s experiences.
There will be some fun performances, questions like “what do you take home with you?”, and “is there anything you are going to do differently or change”?
To share with new and old friends.
We were finally together for a week, we learnt, thought, explored, played and saw new things
Let’s share our experience, to consolidate our memories, to nurture our work and celebrate the feeling that we’re part of a large community.
Thank you all so much and…
See you soon!
