TYPE:Group exhibition from open callLink︎︎︎ Where is the ground in architectural and urban representation? Re-grounding the Archive opens up Van Alen’s history to an archeological examination of its institutional attitudes towards the ground, land, environment, and the city over time. Through a series of speculative “core samples” made of paper pulp and clay, these tactile artifacts are encoded with various attitudes toward the ground. Each “core” references competition proposals at a various moment in the institution’s identity, particularly projects that articulate a position toward the ground. Heeding Bruno Latour’s call to bring climate change politics “down to earth,” Re-grounding the Archive examines how the archive has represented (or not) architecture’s relationship to the ground over the last 100 years. Visitors are invited to handle the core samples, read them as material indexes of the archive, and have conversations about the institution’s layered history. https://amelynng.com/2609_POWERS-OF-TEN Wed, 16 Sep 2026 22:19:51 +0000 amelynng https://amelynng.com/2609_POWERS-OF-TEN Powers of Ten (Semesters)illustration, publication YEAR:2026 TYPE:&nbsp; Backpage comic in the Architect’s Newspaper (September/October 2026), back-to-school issue.link︎︎︎ <img width="3150" height="3746" width_o="3150" height_o="3746" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0e5a4abc70e916694239a27e05e29fee9007ccceed487e1a7ba14bd9efb65a19/260813_an_back-to-school-comic.png" data-mid="252246948" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0e5a4abc70e916694239a27e05e29fee9007ccceed487e1a7ba14bd9efb65a19/260813_an_back-to-school-comic.png" /> https://amelynng.com/2026_IPA-RESIDENCY Tue, 23 Jun 2026 19:11:02 +0000 amelynng https://amelynng.com/2026_IPA-RESIDENCY Island Assets / IPA Residencyforum, exhibition, representation, information-richness <img width="3054" height="1876" width_o="3054" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/98597fe2829ee18bfb6eb421f86ddacc3a8f5af11e36ec590cfde277b4402988/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-4.22.46PM.png" data-mid="251130564" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/98597fe2829ee18bfb6eb421f86ddacc3a8f5af11e36ec590cfde277b4402988/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-4.22.46PM.png" /> <img width="3054" height="1876" width_o="3054" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d5580afdb88e6d11ec8dca51ff447bad38fe855f8f24820de6841c1fd4f84e53/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-3.39.28-PM.png" data-mid="251127693" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d5580afdb88e6d11ec8dca51ff447bad38fe855f8f24820de6841c1fd4f84e53/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-3.39.28-PM.png" /> <img width="3054" height="1876" width_o="3054" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/98597fe2829ee18bfb6eb421f86ddacc3a8f5af11e36ec590cfde277b4402988/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-4.22.46PM.png" data-mid="251130564" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/98597fe2829ee18bfb6eb421f86ddacc3a8f5af11e36ec590cfde277b4402988/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-4.22.46PM.png" /> <img width="3054" height="1876" width_o="3054" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8679a3d2367d2482860b0ef0ad4b508e97c4859a4b366c19f6ca95a6178cb60e/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-4.05.32PM.png" data-mid="251130425" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8679a3d2367d2482860b0ef0ad4b508e97c4859a4b366c19f6ca95a6178cb60e/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-4.05.32PM.png" /> <img width="3054" height="1876" width_o="3054" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e6e828bcf13518647d34b81c17ad90fa0e108d9b28f42e850f2cc425b8a4af28/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-3.39.44PM.png" data-mid="251127705" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e6e828bcf13518647d34b81c17ad90fa0e108d9b28f42e850f2cc425b8a4af28/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-3.39.44PM.png" /> <img width="3054" height="1876" width_o="3054" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f10fef378adcb6434187e08f6ff7b88a3bde242c2fce056dacab41afa51ed4b/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-3.39.57PM.png" data-mid="251127716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f10fef378adcb6434187e08f6ff7b88a3bde242c2fce056dacab41afa51ed4b/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-3.39.57PM.png" /> <img width="3054" height="1876" width_o="3054" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/efab1e99315b9205926da48175c2ce05c6bf5567a2d0526b7ec52c558d1b8154/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-3.41.40PM.png" data-mid="251127719" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/efab1e99315b9205926da48175c2ce05c6bf5567a2d0526b7ec52c558d1b8154/Screenshot-2026-08-10-at-3.41.40PM.png" /> YEAR:Summer 2026 VENUE: Institute for Public Architecture TYPE:Independent Project ResidencyLink︎︎︎ island-assets.site︎︎︎ Island Assets is a digital-physical asset library of Governor’s Island. The project samples local objects, spaces, and moments and turns them into life-sized, three-dimensional sketches using augmented reality. As the collection of hand-drawn, animated objects grows over time, it stokes the imagination around the island’s lively public, cultural, and infrastructural assets and encourages playful site activation. The project tests a new hybrid genre in Ng’s interdisciplinary practice between architecture, media, and cartoons. Instead of privileging photorealistic renditions of the built environment, as is typical of AI renderings, digital twins, or surveying tools such as photogrammetry, these digital scribbles fall somewhere between architectural entourage and lightweight sketches. Rather than a static capture of reality, this record can be continuously added to as spaces, inhabitants, activities, and ecologies change over time. Island Assets renews our attention to the intangible value and stories built into the places around us. Miniature screens are planted in the vicinity of the Block House in Nolan Park, embedding various real-world assets such as trees and public furniture with digital animations.

Link︎︎︎Full Issue PDF︎︎︎ Along the path to developing computer vision, the built environment is surveilled, framed, and tagged through bounding boxes. The bounding box is an annotative device used in AI training—a rectangular frame temporarily drawn over an image in order to isolate an object or “region of interest.” I wish to recast the bounding box as a device that irrevocably binds the graphical with the spatial and the social—that is, as a relational rather than classificatory technique of visualization. This short article and accompanying graphic essay calls the bounding box into question, epistemically and graphically. https://amelynng.com/2026_DEPAVE-ROUNDTABLE Sat, 15 Aug 2026 20:23:52 +0000 amelynng https://amelynng.com/2026_DEPAVE-ROUNDTABLE DEPAVE Roundtableforum, mattering <img width="1086" height="724" width_o="1086" height_o="724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/118d46ef0181706da94780f28a8b7633954fd37336c2ebfd946cd37014a39516/33120FFB-1C1B-4BED-B456-B640E43E8FFC_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="251265606" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/118d46ef0181706da94780f28a8b7633954fd37336c2ebfd946cd37014a39516/33120FFB-1C1B-4BED-B456-B640E43E8FFC_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c8690a5ab89bca076d2d7d5da0d9abf514cf932f2d85ab3b02466e6c5b81c67c/20F8D778-8824-417F-BF55-99486ED0C3A2_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="251265589" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c8690a5ab89bca076d2d7d5da0d9abf514cf932f2d85ab3b02466e6c5b81c67c/20F8D778-8824-417F-BF55-99486ED0C3A2_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1086" height="724" width_o="1086" height_o="724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e3575e541fc519bab96afcbd6453b97a6d45e22a95f690f940f7b6b2897cf0f0/EF00F0B4-11A1-4012-B299-A70F8026A54A_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="251265643" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e3575e541fc519bab96afcbd6453b97a6d45e22a95f690f940f7b6b2897cf0f0/EF00F0B4-11A1-4012-B299-A70F8026A54A_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1086" height="724" width_o="1086" height_o="724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/813311fc13dbd2ba9911ea54fd53a71d34fb8bde2e0293f4cca5ee6ddd6b3d3e/6CA33EEE-DB2C-45DD-A276-E9A190AAF830_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="251265566" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/813311fc13dbd2ba9911ea54fd53a71d34fb8bde2e0293f4cca5ee6ddd6b3d3e/6CA33EEE-DB2C-45DD-A276-E9A190AAF830_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/343d78a86ee87b6dad06b3555ef8406b4b08616440821a08cb0308744b54cc3e/46C78108-5DF7-43AC-A3C5-1050D1E4D3B7_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="251266379" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/343d78a86ee87b6dad06b3555ef8406b4b08616440821a08cb0308744b54cc3e/46C78108-5DF7-43AC-A3C5-1050D1E4D3B7_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3cea317fbda6d5af22848212c9f870d8b9d52f43d847dcf811bf7b5654209198/5B8A8D4A-CE80-4666-B2C2-CF6FA32A3E1C_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="251265829" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3cea317fbda6d5af22848212c9f870d8b9d52f43d847dcf811bf7b5654209198/5B8A8D4A-CE80-4666-B2C2-CF6FA32A3E1C_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f69be0c23b7c2db6de7ee2c129e5b66fe1aca9bace55a71bb868bb07af061d8d/D7A2FC1D-EF5E-4557-939B-6CCE534126F1_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="251266881" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f69be0c23b7c2db6de7ee2c129e5b66fe1aca9bace55a71bb868bb07af061d8d/D7A2FC1D-EF5E-4557-939B-6CCE534126F1_1_105_c.jpeg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c6ebe3bc6d9801201ce237d366b08becd5f250f14df0062cafa13e81ebc012c8/7CB3B4BC-FDDC-41FC-903C-973DD468F530_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="251266872" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/c6ebe3bc6d9801201ce237d366b08becd5f250f14df0062cafa13e81ebc012c8/7CB3B4BC-FDDC-41FC-903C-973DD468F530_1_105_c.jpeg" /> DATE:May 29, 2026 VENUE: AIANY Center for Architecture, New York CityTYPE:Roundtable and panel discussionORGANIZERS + MODERATORS:Friends Making Work (Amelyn Ng, Christine Giorgio, Gabriel Vergara)Link︎︎︎ <img width="1179" height="1867" width_o="1179" height_o="1867" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/452a8eceacb28bc40379814fcc711c440a59be63381e563f639b4adaec7e5d1b/B0A5A34B-412C-45FC-9843-F3EF57525ACE_1_201_a.jpeg" data-mid="251265669" border="0" data-scale="46" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/452a8eceacb28bc40379814fcc711c440a59be63381e563f639b4adaec7e5d1b/B0A5A34B-412C-45FC-9843-F3EF57525ACE_1_201_a.jpeg" /> DEPAVE: The Ground as a Site of Design and RepairThis DEPAVE roundtable asks how incremental and intergenerational acts of subtraction, however small, can be drivers of infrastructural, ecological and social repair. What would it take to depave a portion of sidewalk, a parking lot, a freeway, an entire city?Hosted by the Center for Architecture, this event is part of a programming series for the 2026 CFA Lab Residency,&nbsp;Repair: Democracy and Urban Spaces, for which Friends Making Work exhibited DEPAVE: An Ecological Repair of the Ground.
