Forms of Accessibility | Graduate Design Seminar at the GSD- Looking at accessibility from a formal lens; architecture form at the threshold of human ability. A truly intelligent group of students working on different barriers at Gund Hall each related to one human ability at its threshold.

This Monday the 27th, we host our fourth JUTSU Corner Talk, and the first of 2026, a conversation between Angelo Bucci, Professor of Practice at MIT and Principal of SPBR Arquitetos, São Paulo, and Peter Sealy, Assistant Professor and Director of the Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies at the University of Toronto.
The first image shows SPBR’s proposal for MAM-SP Park, where architecture is reduced to a territorial frame. The second reflects Peter Sealy’s fascination with Berlin’s negative corners, where the corner registers the struggle for access to light within shrinking dimensions.
It would be hard to predict where these two minds will meet, but as usual, Forno Cultura’s bread will anchor the table. @sealy.peter@oangelobucci@njavidi@behnazassadi@mitarchitecture@uoftdaniels #jutsucorner #jutsucornertalks #jaarchitecturestudio #jastudioinc#cornerforarchitecture
