PLATFORM was launched, in June 2019, by four founding editors: SAH members Swati Chattopadhyay, Marta Gutman, Zeynep Kezer, and Matthew Gordon Lasner.
The idea of a digital venue for conversations on architecture, the built environment, and space was first broached at Architectural History Redefined, a conference hosted to honor the scholarship of Dell Upton at the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture, the City College of New York (CCNY), on April 13-14, 2018. The conference, spearheaded by Marta Gutman, brought together Upton’s former and current students and colleagues with students and faculty at CCNY and scholars from other institutions in the New York metropolitan area. The format of the panels, comprising 5-minute presentations followed by discussion, produced engaged discussions on a range of topics including design and pedagogy, the history of colonialism and racism, teaching in the classroom, in national parks, and in the prison, and architecture and cities as public culture.
